King of the Romans OOC thread VIII

Could it have anything to do with one player (the majority of us) turning off automanaging via Game Options and another (Ignoramus) leaving it on?

Also, off-topic, but I'm playing a game as Venice and I see good old Otto von Kassel as a lone unit in my territory - but he's the Milanese faction heir!

Still deciding what to do with him.

wow i thought otto was more noble than to accept a bribe

**TinCow** · 06-26-2007, 21:14

Well, Otto does have a history of serving the highest bidder...

Bribes, perhaps not. Brides...

*slaps Igno with a wet fish*

I know earlier chancellors were a bit quick but you're really overdoing it

Why are so many settlements on auto-manage?

Hence my addition to the Thorn building queue

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!. . .wait faction heir? Hmmmmmm. Could be worse.

As TC pointed out, a Milanese Princess most likely picked him off. He starts out in Innsbruck and is the closest unmarried HRE avatar to Milan. Since he's just a starter general and not in the family tree he makes a good target, because he never gets married unless MoH or a Princess makes it possible.

Still the Milanese must be in a bad way if he's heir, but I can never tell with the crack headed selection mechanics.

Still good for Alternate Universe Otto, he's a social climber anywhere.

GH, if you're at war with Milan, well. . .you know what to do. Otherwise it might be amusing to see if you can bribe him to your side, but his loyalty is probably sky high at this point, and he is faction heir.

I say we surround him with military units to prevent him from moving and then use him as training for our new assasins

**GeneralHankerchief** · 06-27-2007, 01:37

I'm currently allied with the HRE - too bad there's no "send prisoner to City X" option. I wonder if they would have paid me to take care of him for them. Oh well.

I would like to throw in my two cents for the work done in the KotR PBEM. As I wait for a Chancellor report I am glad that I can surf through the threads and read the good work done by Overnight for the history thread and Tin Cow with the library thread.
This PBEM also got started with a good base from econ21. The contributions in the stories and battle reports by everyone have been excellent and it sure helps keep the interest when things are quiet.
It's been very enjoyable and addictive to log in and see what is happening. My last SP campaign was finished just as this PBEM started. I haven't been able to be attentive enough for another SP game while this is going on.

Okay that is the commercial break for this PBEM for anyone lurking and thinking of joining.
Still waiting for some report..............

Sorry for not putting up the Conrad finale in the meantime. Dealing with wired 7-10 year-olds does not leave me in a state conductive to good writing.

-edit- Seems as if Ignoramus is enjoying the .Org Arcade instead of posting a report...

I really am sorry guys. I can only play MTW2 on my older brother's computer(the one I'm using at the moment can't handle it), and he's been really busy lately, so I haven't had a chance to upload the save game. I will try and get both report and save up within the next 3 hours. Once again, I apologise for the long delay.
