[Myth]

I have the spreadsheet I just forgo to upload it. I'll send it today.

[Nightbringer]

I need your report before the next turn can start myth... :)

[Nightbringer]

Hey everyone, Quirl is going to be joining the game!

Welcome Quirl!

[Quirl]

Thanks for letting me in your guys' group! I'll do my best to catch up...

[Zim]

Welcome Quirl.

[Myth]

I'm waiting a response from Rome before I make my turn FYI.

[Myth]

I think perhaps I should step back from this game. It takes too much time compared to regular hotseats and my schedule can't permit me regularly playing these in 48 hours and replying to ~10 diplomacy messages per turn. It's promising however and we have a lot of new recruits so someone can take the King. Perhaps Cecil whom valiantly sacrificed his character to win us a city?

Noooooo!

Maybe instead we can try to lighten the load on the King a bit? It sounds a bit much

(Obviously Cecil would make a fine King, it's just a shame to be losing someone so early!)

[Myth]

Not losing me, I'll help with the images/sigs etc. and I enjoyed the game but knowing that I have to play my save virtually every day and that it's not simply bashing the AI but every move on the map requires diplomacy and has diplomatic consequences it's overall too much of a time sink for me.

We;;, if you are determined to go I can't stop you, but I will say I am sad you are leaving. If you want to give it a little more time, you could lighten the load a bit by delegating some diplomatic tasks to other players. For example, appointing the Junior King to manage diplomacy with Venice and the HRE. Or things like that. And now that I have slowed things down it is more like a turn every 4 days.

As to the save, sorrow about the delay everyone. I am in the middle of midterms, but I should have the save up in a few hours.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Are there any characters still available?

[Nightbringer]

Are there any characters still available?

Interesting question, especially given recent circumstances and your name...

The answer is yes and no. Right now there are not, but i am going to be attempting to use the console to bring in several new avatars this turn, and I think I will be able to succeed. If myth does leave, I think it would probably be best if Cecil took over his spot since he has been here the whole time (provided he wants to be king), but you can join Quirl in playing new avatars.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Hahaa..

Well, if Cecil wants to be king then I don't mind. I think that would be too much of a responsibility for me at the moment anyway. I'm fine playing any new avatars you spawn.

[phonicsmonkey]

For example, appointing the Junior King to manage diplomacy with Venice and the HRE.

Fine by me!

[Quirl]

Hey The King! Be nice to have another new player to this thing (other than me).

Any chance you're related to...

[Nightbringer]

until I here back from Cecil, I will control the King. Unless Myth is still up for it.

[Myth]

No, that's fine. Have fun everyone

[Cecil XIX]

I'm going to need a day or two to think about whether I want to accept being King. If there is anyone else interested in the role, I would certainly not mind giving them a chance instead.

[Nightbringer]

Alright, that is fine by me.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Could someone move my character(Kerecsea Geregye nembol) into Sofia? Also, what traits does he have? I haven't checked the save yet(and can't do that until Sunday).

[Nightbringer]

I can do it for you at the end of the turn, although anyone else is welcome to do it during their turn as well.

[phonicsmonkey]

I'm not going to be able to take the save this time, could someone please move my magyar cav into / towards my stack where I'm sitting between Zagreb and Belgrade? I have two units almost there and one unit a bit further back towards varad.

[Quirl]

Yessir. Hoping to do my turn tonight...

[Cecil XIX]

Having given the matter ample consideration, I have decided to accept the role of the King. I shall repay my inactivity over these past few days.

EDIT: Incidentally, I strongly urge everyone to update their avatar and user title to reflect their role in-game. This has been the standard practice for everyone in the past during such games KotR, LotR, etc.

[Quirl]

Hail to the king!

[Nightbringer]

excellent, welcome back to the game cecil!

I will pm you your info tonight, but you should have plenty of money for whatever you might want to do this turn, and if you have time it would be great if you could play out the battle for constantinople

[phonicsmonkey]

hey guys, someone else post something in the story thread so I can continue...even just a placeholder if you haven't finished a story yet...I don't want to triple/quadruple post!

[Zim]

Done (placeholder, that is. I have screenshots to sort through...).

[Zim]

The battle will be taken care of soon. Just sending a pm to Quirl first...

[Quirl]

My M2TW is reeeeeally fighting me right now... -_-*

Gonna try to get it installed again tomorrow.
