King of the Romans OOC thread IX

[OverKnight]

I am going to load up old saves and take pre-death shots of Jobst and Matthias this evening.

Huh? Wait? What!?

Oh, Markus is the middle brother, Matthias is the youngest.

I hope that's not a Fruedian slip there TC.

[AussieGiant]

I made the same mistake. TC's just a little excited about all the action

[TinCow]

Ug, sorry. For some reason I keep getting Markus and Matthias mixed up. (Name-wise only, I know perfectly well who is who otherwise.)

[AussieGiant]

I must say I'm enjoying myself immensely at the moment.

It's a pitty I have to go again overseas on Thursday for TWO BLOODY MONTHS!!!

Ituralde you're going to have play my battles again.

Actually, what I was thinking is having Cecil do them?

What do you think? IC I'm trying to get him his own command but it seems impossible at the moment due to lack of forces.

Maybe I should head east and crush a few mongols and he can take over the AHA defense of teh eastern border.

Anyone got any ideas?

[Ituralde]

You could just hand over the leadership of the AHA to Cecil and move Arnold to Vienna or Venice or Ragusa for administrative duties.

[econ21]

AussieGiant, I think Arnold has done pretty well picking up battle-related traits and ancillaries. Your going overseas could perhaps coincide with Arnold focussing on the more political and administrative sides of being a Duke. When you leave, and with Budapest safe, I would park Arnold in Vienna and give Sigismund command of the AHA so CecilXIX gets a chance at build up his avatar.

[EDIT: Ituralde beat me to it. We're a good Kaiser/Prinz combo already!]

[Privateerkev]

Can I ask that we stop using proxies?

It's getting very confusing trying to keep up with everyone's retinue servants.

Mine are involved as you all know but Arnold will always be present.

Call it express horse delivery or whatever. It's intense now so I'd like to know what you all think.

Letting an aide speak is an easy way of not getting your avatar getting the blame it seems

Sorry, I was trying to RP that I'm in Outremer. It would be wierd if I commuted hundreds of miles to work every day. And I was never trying to avoid blame. I sent that letter to the Diet expressly asking that Jan take whatever punishment is dished out. It wasn't an attempt to lob bombs from behind a big hulking Teuton. It was just my attempt to RP the immense distance that is between Jan and the Diet. I figured I'd have him come over for important stuff like Diet meetings but I'll try to have him come over more often. Jobts's funeral provides a good enough excuse. I've PM'd AG so we can try to coordinate on some conflict.

*edit*

Also, I've noticed many other people using proxies to send messages and so forth. Thats what gave me the original idea. But, I concede that for more intense RP'ing, my character should be there in person so I will change that.

[McIwoo]

Are you leaving the game? I really hope not. There are plenty of avatars available at the moment, though not in Bavaria. We can earmark the next Bavarian for you if you want to stay in that House. Again, I'm really sorry I got you killed. I felt horrible about it when it happened.

I felt like I arrived too late in the game to have as nearly as much fun as you anyway. I'll try to keep an eye open to make sure I dun miss the biggining of the next interesting PBM (I haven't watched the ones recently started so I might have missed it already...).

On a side note I have started one on EB with a few mates wich takes quite a lot of my time and will...

So, as I said have fun.

I'd hate to see you go McIwoo, There will always be a place for you in Bavaria.

I'm back, kinda, don't have access to the game for another 36 hours unfortunately. I'm still working on the Diet thread, but Whoa, a lot has happened in the last 3 days.

Hopefully Kordula will get married soon and keep Bavaria going for now.

Well, Dieter is in Outremer. So, he can be a meatshield against the Mongols.

Here it is Econ, better late than never

[Privateerkev]

I really don't know how anyone expects me to roll over IC considering I'm taking shots from left right and centre and I didn't start any of it.

Well, technically you did start it.

You took two large looming figures into the Diet for the purpose of intimidation. Then you bragged about doing acts that would offend those with high chivalry and piety. You didn't honestly expect OOC for everyone in the Diet to be quiet did you? So, since no one else was saying much, and it fit my character's personality, I stepped up. Now our characters are in a face off and its been great fun. I'm sad that you have to leave for two months. Hopefully, we can PM and get a story going so we can at least both have partial resolution before you leave. Finally someone's character is interacting with mine and he's going to leave for a couple months...

Don't worry PK, I'm not gone from the PBM. The only difference between me being at home and away is I can't fight my battle personally. That's it.

I didn't get back from Canada until last Wednesday so you never really notice.

I'd say I'm going to take Econ and Ituralde's advise and have Cecil take over.

As for the roleplaying of retinue dudes, it's gone well I think.

Problem is when you go an insult a Duke through a proxy then you better make sure your proxy has some protection. Especially a Duke with that much Dread going on.

I'll PM you for further ideas :)

Time for more stabbings in the Senate Diet?

[FactionHeir]

Hmm I might just have heated up things a bit more...
Please note I might not be able to respond till in maybe 9-10 hours from now. Vacation doesnt leave much spare time

I love it! I definitely think a legislative struggle for the throne would be interesting. However, I suggest we simply wait for the 1260 election to do it. It's only 2 turns off and the idea of a third emergency session in one Chancellorship term makes me dizzy. Perhaps the 1260 session could be a couple days longer than normal to give added debate time.

I think that is the way to go. We're going a bit bonkers right now as it is without another Emergency session.

FH!! You're bloody mad mate!! I'll get back to you soon.

I'm very glad that your still going to be around to write up stories and make Jan's life as miserable as possible. As for protection, Teutons have enough of that going on. They have a whole order that is like a brotherhood.

"Hooked on Teutonics works for me!"

[gibsonsg91921]

the only problem with FH's idea is that we wouldnt be able to change the in-game emperor. and i want a franconian kaiser who is my little brother haha!

[Ituralde]

Oh man, keeping the peace in the Diet is surely more work than I thought.
Being Emperor is like watching over a group of toddlers. A group of toddlers with Dread Knights for friends!

[AussieGiant]

Well get ready Ituralde.

Jan's gone and pressed the red button by doing what he did.

I'm warming up the peeps for some serious non player character action!!

That sounds like a good Idea, a very good Idea, I was also thinking that there needs to be some major legislation as well, if there's time today I'll post smoething in-house thread.

[gibsonsg91921]

i like being related to the emperor - itll make peter more of a statesman than a rabble-rouser i think.

Well, AG and I have been PM'ing so prepare for some columns shaking in the Diet!

[gibsonsg91921]

whats the point of an election? would we just ignore the ingame emperor and have another person be him? i think ituralde's deserved it.

[AussieGiant]

The towers been buzzed!!

Brace for further fly by requests!!

The plane has been shot down by an AA missle! Let the games begin!

I just replied to your Diet post and I quoted yours so people will know to look at it since you added the text later. It will look a little out of place after the Kaiser just asked us to be quiet and remove weapons but oh well. It jives pretty well.

*edit*

Oh my god I am laughing my !@# off at TC's Diet post!

[GeneralHankerchief]

Hmm, judging by the OOC posts it seems that I'm lucky that I work outside, otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten anything done today.

Checking up on Diet posts now.

[Stuperman]

I thought that TC's post was genius as well, glad to see that everyone is still getting along OOC as it's getting intense IC.
