(PS: It's a good idea to browse the uploader - I always sort by "Last modified" and download the latest kotr file if I am curious about the state of the game.)

I'm still puzzeled as to what I am suppose to be doing, if someone could greatly help me out. I understand where we the Riech stand right now, but Im not sure on Edicts, I have read I second Edit etc etc. How do I know what all these Edicts are, and...

Edicts only last between Diets (10 turns), so forget about past ones. All you need to focus on are the new Edicts (numbered 4.x) being proposed in the Diet deliberations thread. Each edict needs two seconders to be put to the vote; say "I second Edict 4.x" if you support it and it does not have two seconders. You are free to propose new edicts and to argue for or against other people's edicts. All this should be done in the Diet deliberations thread.

I dont mean to whine, but it is really confusing to know what sections in the forum I am to be reading, There all mixed up with the MTW2 and RTW boards etc etc

Our threads have the prefix kotr PBM. The key ones are this one and the Diet deliberations. The Chancellor's reports thread keeps you up to date (and is where you post your build queues when you get a settlement to run). The battle reports thread also should be informative. You can write stories in the stories thread. The stickied library tells you who is who, what settlements we control and what edicts are current - but it is only updated every Diet session.

Ahh, Thank you.

So shall I start posting then? Or do I have to wait untill I get my own general etc.

**GeneralHankerchief** · 02-22-2007, 22:40

No, please start posting now. Many active participants such as Kagemusha and AussieGiant don't have avatars yet but they still contribute greatly.

**econ21** · 02-22-2007, 22:43

Bizzair - you are the Third Elector of Austria. You can post in that capacity now. You will get an avatar in due course and can then choose whether that chap was the Third Elector all along or, if his traits are very different from how you've been roleplaying, you can treat him as a new kid on the block.

@econ21

I fully agree with you that this should not be done on a regular basis. But I think in the current situation it would be preferrable to having things autocalced, when there's many players waiting for some action. Of course those capabilities should only be used in defensive battles. I wouldn't want Leopold to go on a grand campaign, while I'm away.

Glad you finally got your system AussieGiant, get it running asap, that's an order!

Ja Wohl Herr Ituralde

Up and running Team!!

It's a whole new ball game when you can upload the file onto your PC and actually look at what the situation is.

I was also thinking along the same lines as Ituralde. I'll be traveling to Australia for holidays on the 10th of March for 3 weeks. I'm going to be able to stay in touch with the game but not be able to fight battles. I would definitely prefer someone from House Austria to fight the battles than autocalc.

Going to bed now...my machine is just sick. And I mean that in a good way.

Oh, and BTW, there's a new Franconian. I forget what his name is, but he's in Hamburg with Dietrich.

I will have a short time this evening (EST) to update the Library. I will try to get the general map sections updated at that time, with the avatar updates done tomorrow morning.

Also, welcome to all the new people! It's great to see some new blood both in KOTR and the Throne Room in general.
