King of the Romans OOC thread VIII

[FactionHeir]

Erm so you want to explain to me how buying off 2 english settlements and laying siege to 4 additional settlements is stopping our steamroll and helping our game?

[Stuperman]

IC, I'm furious, the damned witch still haunts us.

OOC, I'd just like to know what's going on, maybe have some IC reasoning presented. but AG makes a good point, we wanted contorversy and problems, it now looks like we have that now.

edit: laying siege to 4 settlements!?! all I know about was Gaza and Corsica (which we have 'clearance to')

[Stig]

OOC I simply think that Igno's is ruining the game with what he's doing.
He's atleast ruining it for me. Much more of this and the fun is over for me.

[AussieGiant]

My reasons for impeaching him are strictly IC. He violated the Charter on multiple occasions and Conrad believes that his sort of behavior should not be allowed to stand.

Ok then...away we go GH, but IC.

Nothing like a few set backs to realise how much we like playing the game :)

[gibsonsg91921]

i think once igno comes back itll be fine and fun - a little controversy never hurt anyone. it takes controversy to get the Diet started. heinrich attacking the pope, peter mad about durazzo, lothar insulting henry, and now a seemingly incompetent chancellor. all these are getting activity going and its fun.

be like a snowflake and chill.

I think the biggest problem is that while the game hasn't advanced in the last 12 hours (AFAIK) there has been a TON of IC and OOC speculation, and all that does is wind people up. Keep in mind that if we get REALLY REALLY desperate wou could revert ot an older save (like incredibly desperate).

I understand though, many people have a lot invested in this PBM (almost all my posts are in this PBM alone), it'd be crappy to see it die this far in.

[AussieGiant]

I agree Stups, but I think we could go through a hell of a lot of downs before it was irreversible in the actual game. It's 1242 or something, we are about half way through the total time alotment.

Even if we pullled out all the stops I'd say we'd be back dominating the game in 50 to 100 years even if we lost half of everything right now.

We could try

[AussieGiant]

We could try

See Stiggy, now you're talking!!

[Stig]

*Hands over Austria to Venice*

like that?

[StoneCold]

Ya, that would definitely put AG into the Emergency Diet now camp... :D

[TevashSzat]

I just finished battle and won with a heroic victory. Ignoramus has some explaining to do, but I suppose we can just give away or abandon any settlement that ends up being taken this chancellorship.

[AussieGiant]

We can certainly do a whole lot of things IC to correct any issues that are left over.

personally I think this is great fun

[GeneralHankerchief]

Ignoramus, I have to ask: Were you aware of this problem regarding your brother's computer when you were running for Chancellor?

[FactionHeir]

He is, as far as I know, as he did not fight his battles due to the same reason during my chancellorship.

[TevashSzat]

I just posted a rant IC. This may pose a porblem for us, not that he is not following some of the edicts in terms of what it meant in the minds of their creators, but by the length of time for him to get chancellor reports up and answer our questions

[Ignoramus]

I did not know that I would have problems when I ran for Chancellor. However, I shall make sure that there any never any delays as long as this again.

[gibsonsg91921]

its not the delays that bother me IC so much, its the disregard for edicts that are gonna kill ya.

[Northnovas]

The Chancellor has free rein and a lot of discretion I just want to know what is going on. It's not what is done; that makes for good drama. It's the let me know when it gets done.

[Ignoramus]

I doubt Ulrich will get killed by the Diet. His honour won't allow that.

[Ignoramus]

gibsonsons, you've got a battle against the Russians.

[Cecil XIX]

Nope, last update was before my chancellorship.
I'm currently thinking whether there is anything left that needs fixing without going too far away from vanilla traits and ancs.

This is just a thought, but is it possible make certain acillaries requirements for certain traits?

If it is, then you could create a Count/Duke ancillary that would allow us to get traits without having to actually be in the settlement, making our avatars the governor of a settlement both in the game and the PBEM. There could even be a 'Chancellor' ancillary that would avoid the problem of certain Emperors taking the blame for the assassination that certain Chancellors order. *wink wink*.

If it isn't, then forget I said anything.

[Stig]

Why has Gibson got a battle to fight, the last time I looked he was totally on the free.
It is I who has some Poles to fight because I want to get Ansehelm back to Thorn.


I must also say that I more or less had it with this game, the fun is almost over. Maybe Igno likes it, I don't, grow up kid.

[Ignoramus]

Peter's expedition met a rather large army of Russians, they couldn't retreat as they had no movement points left.

Oh, and Stig, there's an IC reason why Ulrich couldn't send Ansehelm on the expedition.

[Warluster]

Ignoramus, is Siegfred the new prince?

[Stig]

Peter's expedition met a rather large army of Russians, they couldn't retreat as they had no movement points left.

So you killed him, geez no people will like you

Oh, and Stig, there's an IC reason why Ulrich couldn't send Ansehelm on the expedition.

Which is?

[Ignoramus]

I didn't send Peter to his death. Look, I was the one who lost an avatar in the most annoying way possible - by assasination. I know how annoying it is to suddenly lose your avatar. I do not send generals deliberately to their deaths.

It concerned the election.

Warluster: Yes.

[econ21]

all I know about was Gaza and Corsica (which we have 'clearance to')

Why do we have clearance to take Gaza? CA10.2 implies we need an edict to take a new province - we have one for the two Milanese islands and Moscow; I don't think we have one for anywhere else.

[Stig]

He doesn't seem to care and ruins the game with it.

We agreed OOC on less expansion, why break something like that? Unless you wish to ruin the game for others.

And he still needs to answer me on that Crusade. I've asked the question multiple times. Not answering is simply rude and shows no respect (hence why I don't give anything to you).

[econ21]

Stig, please cool down. Ignoramus has told you that Anselhelm is not leading the crusade because of the election. If he has made a secret deal in character, he does not have to reveal the details to you out of character.
