    Default The Two Kingdoms. (Rules WIP)

    I thought of a good idea for a forum game.

    Basically, there are two kingdoms (England and France) each one containing forum members.

    Once the King of England and the King of France have been elected, all the remaining players decide whose subjects they will be. The two kings then chose what each of their subjects shall be. Kings may wish to reward ardent supporters by making them dukes, counts etc.


    If there is enough people, there may even be a Pope.

    Is anyone interested?

    I was thinking of making a game exactly like this a while back. An idea that I had was that you would have Gods who would control things like natural disasters etc. based on the amount of worship they received from the people. There would be a 'team' of several Gods (based on the amount of players) who would each control a certain aspect of the game.

    Needless to say, this looks great so I am DEFINITELY in.

    By order of the King I do hereby call upon the Knights of England, greatest of all Christendom, to heed the call of our Lord for the creation of an elite guard. Men of sincere loyalty and impeccable quality are to have submitted to me in writing [PM please], a request to serve our Liege and land. No greater honor can go to so few men, save for the Apostles themselves!


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

    We should do the same thing, then "For France, Attack!!"

    By all means, do. Once your king's bodyguard are slaughtered or tied up on combat we will capture him and demand ransom. All though, we'll most likely have to pay you to take him back.

    That is assuming we will lose, French do not lose (we just have temporary setbacks)

    Well, I've sworn my sword to the Earl of Chester, and through him Good King Malcolm. The lemur is now the Baron of Halton.

    Strong knights will need a home for times when they are not on Crusade of smiting the smelly French. The Barony of Halton offers such knights special accommodations:
    • Free dwarf tossing
    • Every Thursday is "Ravish a Milkmaid" themed
    • Squires stay free!
    • Every knights' manor comes with a wooden privy
    • Armor polishing 1/2 off until the end of November
    • Parish priests guaranteed to pardon all sins at reasonable rates

    Frankly, I don't see how any up-and-coming man-at-arms can afford to consider any Barony besides Halton. PM Baron Lemur with questions.

    Since speed is security I'm feeling pretty insecure right now. Even if this game doesn't kick off a list of rules would be nice for organizing a future game. This seems pretty ambitious and I like that.

    I just don't think I can run this game. If someone volunteered, then they are willing to take over the game.
