i can drive at 16, but my birthday lies so perfectly that i couldnt have gotten my permit over the summer thru the school, and im not getting it privately. i started school a bit early, so im a junior, so id rather be a junior not driving than a sophomore driving.

I caught that reference too. At least in Singapore, we can drink/drive/vote at 18, the age that we are drafted. But no watching of naked women/overly violent movies before 21. That's what I call stupid.

This would be a day faster than the 1 turn/2 days pace I planned, but I will be unable to get to a computer that can play M2TW on Friday and Saturday, so it should balance out.

We may have to wait just a bit for the next turn. It's a long weekend here might as well enjoy the great weather were having.

Well, In Canada it varries from province to province, It's 19 here in Ontario, but in Quebec it's only 18, I went a lot after my 18 b-day (I'm 21)

edit: drinking that is, driving is 16, not sure about military service I think 18.

No problem - as long as I know what people have done and can reverse it, they can use their initiative. Did you make a note of your battle stats?

So we come to it at last...

CHAOS! CATACLYSM! ARMAGEDDON!

Ok, enough already. I am going to post a provisional report on 1312 soon. There is a minor battle that Dutch_guy needs to fight before I end 1312. As I will be away from M2TW until Sunday night, we are going to have to leave it there and not press "end turn". So in character, we are late in 1312 - too late to do anything, but we can comment on what has happened and plan what to do in 1314.

We are virtually at the stage we planned for 1320 - order is breaking down and so you can contact me as gamesmaster to make individual orders for what your character does. You can defy Elberhard, your Duke etc. I will try to make moves on the map that I think plausible given the character's wishes or, if I don't know your wishes, what I assume would be his wishes. I would like to avoid player vs player battles, as the focus on the cataclysm is going to be on fighting the AI, not each other. But if they do arise, we can find a way of modelling them.

Where you are physically perhaps should start affecting Diet speeches. When all hell breaks loose, your character probably is not going to be commuting back to Rome to pontificate. Writing stories or sending PMs might be a better way of role-playing player interactions. (Perhaps some PM exchanges could be posted as stories). Elberhard will be stuck in Acre, so he won't be doing Q&A sessions. The Diet Speaker may step in, but he may also prove susceptible to Theodora's charms. Be gentle with him.

It's probably best not to toggle the fog of war, but if you do see Matthias Steffen catching some sun, don't believe it - it's just a mirage.

In recognition of the cataclysm, we will open a new OOC thread.
