Out of character thread XIV

**gibsonsg91921** · 10-11-2007, 02:25

haha. im gonna create a poll thatll last 2-3 days so i can be voted survivor or off the island.

**Privateerkev** · 10-11-2007, 02:27

Or you can just wait until Econ says something IC that will confirm what the M2TW game has declared. ^_^

**gibsonsg91921** · 10-11-2007, 02:35

well, this is the plot that we're going by as justification. econ and I are working on this, and i came up with the idea to "usurp" the power. but there are backroom dealings between us. why was i released from jail and permitted to speak in the Diet without any fight? maybe if econ wants we can post the meeting between Peter and Elberhard's representative at Peters jail cell in the stories thread, its a nice quick read at least.

**Privateerkev** · 10-11-2007, 02:37

Well, OOC I know something is being worked out but we need to find out IC eventually. It's not that I the player don't believe you. It's just that my character remains wholly unconvinced at the moment.

**gibsonsg91921** · 10-11-2007, 02:40

yeah, but i dont know if elberhard is going to submit so readily. maybe since he has 2 authority itll roleplay nicely. this is a somewhat democracy, the diet session can get a lot passed if i lobby a nice coalition.

**Privateerkev** · 10-11-2007, 03:01

I think it's time to put the Diet conversation into the OOC thread. :D

Yeah, I admit seeing my sig underneath Jan's call for divine right to rule is somewhat ironic. :D

**gibsonsg91921** · 10-11-2007, 03:02

yeah lol

its like under bush's posts, his sig is

"Yale graduate."

o wait, he did graduate from Yale. o god...

**Privateerkev** · 10-11-2007, 03:03

He is "Skull and Bones".

**gibsonsg91921** · 10-11-2007, 03:03

yeah, hes a "Bonehead" alright.

**Privateerkev** · 10-11-2007, 03:05

Along with a lot of his family. Same with John Kerry. That was one of the many amusing things about the 2004 US Presidential election.

You could have a Yale graduate that belonged to the Skull and Bones or,

A Yale graduate that belonged to the Skull and Bones.

Boy I love having "choices" in a democracy...

**gibsonsg91921** · 10-11-2007, 03:08

yeah dude. ya gotta go ron paul this time around, or unfortunately clinton/obama. im not a clinton fan, but obama wont make it alone it seems.

**RoadKill** · 10-11-2007, 03:09

Gibson you should've stayed in jail, me and Econ had this crazy thing set up so I can break you out a jail then go on a rampage.

**gibsonsg91921** · 10-11-2007, 03:10

haha econ let me out tho

ron paul? heck no.

clinton? um no.

obama? he talks a great game but I have seen little substance. so no.

I feel like I have no heroes...

**TinCow** · 10-11-2007, 03:31

What exactly happened with Becker? I thought that battle was going to be fought manually.

**gibsonsg91921** · 10-11-2007, 03:34

i like the libertarianness of ron paul. hes a little crazy but he beats the crap out of the other repubs, and none of the dems strike me.

Not a fan of libertarian ideology.

**OverKnight** · 10-11-2007, 06:19

I will fight my battle after work aprrox 1300 GMT. I took a glance before I left for the job, despite the bridge it looks nasty with all that heavy cav. Judging by the map you think the damn byzzies are cloning Kwarzimen. Must be some weird result from all those gifted cities.

Pray for Matthias

**Ignoramus** · 10-11-2007, 06:44

Or TC's creating units via the console. Why else does Naples has 8 units of Mercenary Crossbowmen? It could have been worse, who knows what other suprises he has up his sleeve...

**OverKnight** · 10-11-2007, 06:50

Sometimes when you gift a city to another faction, it ends up with a wonky garrison.

During Otto's term as Chancellor, I gifted Jerusalem to the Papal States. Half the the new garrison was artillery. When I gifted Cagliari to Sicily, the placed filled up with Fuedal Knights, nothing else.

So for some reason when we handed over Outremer the new garrisons ended up with a bunch of Kwarzimans.

They don't have arty so they should just march in a tight row right into your kill zone. All of those horses are pretty much useless for them on a bridge.

I love bridge battles.

Have fun!

**OverKnight** · 10-11-2007, 07:33

I'd be happier if I had more than two units of spears. Bridge battles are easy, but I can't take too many casualties due to the local situation. I am uneasy.

**Privateerkev** · 10-11-2007, 07:34

We'll see about sliding those cannons over to you by the end of 1318. Those will equal things out a bit.

**econ21** · 10-11-2007, 08:09

TinCow and I want to impose a news blackout from now on.

Please do not load up the save. If you have to - for example, you have a battle to fight - please do not tell anyone in the Throne room what you see - whether in character or out of character - unless it is specifically confined to what is adjacent to your avatar.

I realise this announcement may be counter-productive. Hear's the rush of a dozen pairs of feet racing to load up the save...

Nah, I loaded it already.

*noticed that econ and TC have warped Jan to Cuba in revenge.* o_O

ok, I'll be good...

**AussieGiant** · 10-11-2007, 08:46

I guess Bucharest was an Auto Resolve no?

Things seem to be going to hell in a hand basket

Arnold's inbound with some comments and orders.

**econ21** · 10-11-2007, 13:55

Since I've asked people not to peak at the savegame, I am unsure how to go about collecting orders for 1318. This will be the last turn under my supervision - then TinCow will take over.

Probably the best I can do is say I will make moves that I think best fit your character's aims and the local situation.

If you want to provide specific direction, please PM me. I'd like to set up any battles tonight and then handover to TinCow tomorrow night. So you have about 24 hours to give me instructions (if I make a wrong move for you tonight, I can always use the console to undo it).

**OverKnight** · 10-11-2007, 14:57

Oh econ21, I forgot to mention that I ransomed the prisoners for nearly 4,000 florins. I figured we could use the money, unless of course, it gets stolen again.

Perhaps its best if Matthias just holds onto it for now.

Edit: Keep Matthias on the bridge for now.

**econ21** · 10-11-2007, 15:14

All right - I will devote 4000 florins to King Jan's marriage ... I mean Outremer's defence.

It's a shame those unhorsed knights are no longer recruitable - I think they were the best infantry in the game for HRE. Skin flint Chancellors.

**Privateerkev** · 10-11-2007, 15:34

*still waking up*

Jan got married?

Thats just...awesome...

I've had stories rolling around in my head for weeks regarding that possibility.
