King of the Romans OOC thread XI

[OverKnight]

As I have stated many, many times, Matthias is a Chancellor not a matchmaker.

Perhaps the Princesses brought into the royal family are not ideal, but I didn't have a lot of candidates to choose from. When recruited, they both had four hearts, so I was kind of surprised that they turned out to be unpleasant.

Welcome to the world of arranged Political marriages.

Overknight - OOC, just to clarify - I am delighted that Elberhard is married. It was a most pleasant surprise. And IC, Elberhard was moaning about it in a story just before he got hitched, so he can't complain too loudly. His wife, on the other hand, ....

[OverKnight]

Ah, yes. . .I have some small experience with a wretched wife. Be creative.

Edit: To tell the truth, I consider the two marriage alliances the best accomplishment of my term. We hadn't done them in the PBM so far and any political gains made with our reputation is tricky.

It wasn't until my AAR that I truly realized the utility and mechanics of a marriage alliance, which is why I pursued them.

I was thinking the same. Your two terms have been an education to me in M2TW diplomacy (your previous term saw some very nifty work with the Papacy IIRC).

[AussieGiant]

OK's work in both terms have been nigh on incredible to me and I've told him that.

A TAVERN!!??

DID someone say a Tavern!!??

Good Lord, the Dread Duke and his thugs would never want such an environment to work in...WOOT!!

PK, you got my vote BOY!!??

Taking the save, will post back in an hour or so.

[FactionHeir]

Meh, with Arnold around, his wife might pick up UnchasteWoman (and Elberhard possibly might get another epithet)

Something told me you'd jump at that one. I told you a while ago that you needed more outlets for Arnold's dreadness. And I am pretty sure econ didn't mean Ebelhard was bringing his wife to a tavern. She is English royalty. But it would be amusing to see how she would take to scenes of Grom dragging unconscious people upstairs for things we best not mention. ^_^

Alright, we're at five. Who wants to push us over the top?

That'll be me, though I imagine I'll get more use as a reader than a participant. Should be fun.
