Out of character thread II

[econ21]

Can someone link me with the latest savegame?

I'm assuming it is this one:

http://www.totalwar.org/patrons/pbm/kotr1130.zip

(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]

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

[econ21]

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!

[AussieGiant]

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.

[Ignoramus]

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

[Jalf]

huzzah! New franconian!

Now if his long lost twin brother would show up, I might get an avatar too :p

[Ignoramus]

I have a bad feeling about the way the edicts are going. I hope they'll work out.

[TevashSzat]

Well, its been a while since i checked the forums. My cable has been down for the past 5 days, the second time the cable line under the lawn broke and I am currently using a above ground line to connect to the cable box away from my house. Well.....I guess I'll start participating now

[ArchdukeEvan]

ah so obviously im new here... ect.ect.

but i saw an "advert" in the other Blacker Forum...

and i was wondering if this was still open

if so i would prefer to be in Austria... but idc if another
is chosen for me :)... but still...

ty and i just went and read through most of the serious
stuff... i like it alot...

PS. the smilys are so much cooler here... lol

[Bizzair]

So how am I doing, ok?

[Bizzair]

and Ignoramus, what do you mean, hope I did everything right and didn't screw something up

[Ignoramus]

No, no, Bizzair, nothings wrong. I was just having an OOC(Out of Character) winge about some the motions that econ21 proposed. It's nothing against you.

Hello, ArchdukeEvan! Welcome to the King of the Romans PBM. Yes, we're always open to new players. I am sure we can put you in the House of Austria, I'll just wait until econ's on again.

[nazgul3]

u still need people to join...lets see do i need to give u a backround..umm i am part of the Huscarls clan...my clanmate baz helps run this forum...i can pretty much beat any computer u throw at me..have beaten HRE conquest twice on vh/vh. Soo if there still room i will join.

[Ignoramus]

There's always plenty of room for anyone willing to play, even if they're complete novices at MTW2.

Welcome, nazgul3.

[nazgul3]

Great!...now what do i do lol

[AussieGiant]

Ituralde, Econ,

Very well done sir's. That story was great.

Do we have a summary of all the Edicts and their status regarding being seconded?

[Ituralde]

A warm welcome to all the new faces!

There's always room for more, although it may take some time until you get an avatar.
The new Franconian is named Jonas something and is pious and loyal. I remembered the first name, cause that's my name also, what coincidence.

When will the Chancellor report be up Ignoramus?
Also I'm awaiting the, if any, allocation of settlements from our dear Kaiser, as no one took heed to my Charter Amendment.

Cheers!

Ituralde

[econ21]

Welcome, ArchdukeEvan and nazgul3.

AchdukeEvan can be the 5th Elector of Austria. nazgul3 - you need to choose your House. They are Austria (east), Swabia (west), Franconia (north) or Bavaria (south). Which you chose is not really important - it is more a roleplaying thing - but if you are indifferent Bavaria has one less player than the others based on this table:

Our new avatar is Jonas von Mahren. He is Dietrich's adopted son and 24 years old. By rights, he goes to Zomby_woof but we haven't heard from him for a while. I've PMd him. He can have him if he posts here or votes in the polls on Sunday, otherwise he goes to Jalf.

I'll try to make a list of motions and seconders, but today is busy and it may have to wait until this evening.

[Ignoramus]

My Chancellor report will be up tomorrow. I'm sorry about the delay.

[econ21]

GH - please can you assign any new settlements to Houses if you wish to do so? Dukes and Counts - we should start posting build queues for our settlements so Ignoramus can start play promptly on Monday.

Anyone want to create a Kotr signature? Something like the now defunct wots one I have?

[ArchdukeEvan]

och... thank you :)

ill start asap... though i belvie there are some
conflicts with schooling here... its no matter

yay Austria!

[TinCow]

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.

[Jalf]

Our new avatar is Jonas von Mahren. He is Dietrich's adopted son and 24 years old. By rights, he goes to Zomby_woof but we haven't heard from him for a while. I've PMd him. He can have him if he posts here or votes in the polls on Sunday, otherwise he goes to Jalf.

Ooh, ooh!
*Sends a ninja death squad to take out Zomby_woof*

[nazgul3]

Bavaria sounds good too me. They have good beer lol. Umm my email addies are shado282@aol.com or fortheloveofitall@hotmail.com

[Jalf]

By the way, do you need a certain number of posts before you can change your title? Or am I just a fool who can't figure out how to change it? :p

[Jalf]

Ahem, I guess I could ask the same for editing posts... I've seen other posts with an "edited by..." stamp, but I'll be damned if I can figure out how to do it with my own posts... I'm guessing it depends on post count or something similar? :p

Anyway, do charter amendments work the same way as edicts? (As in, they have to be seconded by two people and then voted on and all that)

[nazgul3]

Well umm i gave to email and stuff..now what i am too do?..

[GeneralHankerchief]

Welcome nazgul3! I suggest you familiarize yourself with the current situation (basically, read the threads marked KotR) and whenever you're ready, post in the Diet deliberations.

Jalf - Once you become a normal member, you get the shiny edit button and get to customize your title. Charter amendments require a 2/3 margin to pass.

econ - Certainly, will do later tonight.
