    Good story GH, I like that you really have to know about KOTR to get who it's about.

    Serves him right, too.

    Three more:



    The wordier, cataclysm-ready version:



    And the Heinrich-approved one:



    -edit- Hmm, words don't come out too well. Maybe it's the color.

    Let's try it in blue:



    And now, with contrast!

    Ah, how do I add it to my sig? DO I have to save it then download it using Imageshack?

    The red and blue lettering is a little fuzzy or washed out but that green looks sharpe. It has a real contrast to the background.

    I will also join in with the kudos to GH for the story.

    Somewhere, the world's smallest violin is playing for a certain former Kaiser. ^_^

    But one minor point with the story, I think Karl Zirn is the oldest avatar, not Hans.

    It's, in order:

    Karl Zirn 56
    Hans 54
    Elberhard 48
    Ansehelm 47
    Jan 45 (yeah I was surprised by this too. Jan is one of the "elders". )
    Fritz 43
    Peter 42
    Arnold 41
    Lothar 41

    The rest are "youngins" since I set an arbitrary cut-off of 40. :D

    Also, I might be a half of a year off in avatar age since I just added 5 years to whatever was in the Library. Didn't feel like loading up the save again.

    No wonder the old joints have been acting up recently. I'm an old coot!
    I think maybe I may the oldest player with the oldest avatar.

    Ahh jees,

    I'm finally starting to get the excitement back after a while.

    Cecil....definitely no hard feelings, but....you are talking about the original and best, Dread Duke of the Holy Roman Empire.

    I can't see him giving you too much leeway on this...still, maybe he gets married soon as can be pacified

    No, use the URL tag and where you would normally put what the link would say (not the actual link - I linked it to the History thread) put the IMG tag and then the image URL itself.

    Example: [URL="http://www.where_you_want_to_link_it_to.org"][IMG]http://www.image_url_here.com[/IMG][/URL]

    First turn post is up. FH and GH have already been communicating with me regularly on their plans, so I skipped the choices for them to save time. At least for this turn, I urge everyone to read the choices for each person, if only to give you ideas for the future. Keep in mind these choices are NOT DEFINITIVE. If you want to elaborate further on one of them or do something completely different, just tell me so in the PM.

    Second, note that I have relied on peoples' traits heavily in many areas, especially financial. All unusual financial adjustments are noted in parentheses after the current amount of wealth.

    Third, the 1320.sav file has not yet been edited. I am going to move some armies around right now and will then re-upload it. If something in the description I posted does not match the current save game, go with what the description says.

    Finally, I changed the rules on movement to greatly simplify them. Please re-read them.

    Wow TinCow, that looks really impressive.

    Finally, here's a banner reminiscent of happier times:

    "I'm going to die anyway, and therefore have nothing more to do except deliberately annoy Lemur." -Orb, in the chat
    "Lemur. Even if he's innocent, he's a pain; so kill him." -Ignoramus
    "I'm going to need to collect all of the rants about the guilty lemur, and put them in a pretty box with ponies and pink bows. Then I'm going to sprinkle sparkly magic dust on the box, and kiss it." -Lemur

    @TinCow, Vilnius is not controlled by Elberhard, but by Franconia
