Why do I get the feeling that this game will turn into one long cataclysm...

Good story TC! I was wondering if we'd see any consequences for our spanking of the AI in the first term. Let the games begin...

[AussieGiant]

My goodness...this will be fun!!

[Ituralde]

And so the fun begins, eh?

Can't say anymore until I see what's coming towards me...

Oh and Happy Birthday Ignoramus!

[Privateerkev]

They will get fully resupplied when the avatar is in a city for a couple turns or entering a new province you own and the can forage will bring the supplies back up. It's when you are in a location and can't forage the supplies really go down.

Ok, so if they just sit in the city, they'll get resupplied? Thanks!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
To everyone:

I have a PM to Zim floating out there but I want to say something with regards to his latest story that pertains to this part:

The only readily apparent identifying features he has are the fact that he is slightly above average height, and the bit of light colored hair peeking out from under the hood of his cloak. Well, those and a small symbol on the left breast of his cloak, obscured by the darkness and folds of fabric.

Since he has pretty much described my avatar, and I was asking him OOC who was running Asteri so I knew who to send IC PM's too, I suspect he put my avatar in his story as a joke.

But I will make very clear that, that was definitely not Makedonios...

At least I certainly never gave permission for him to be used. If he was used in a story without my permission, there will be a lot of this:



Then this:



And hopefully when it is all done, this:



If I have been totally wrong about all of this, I will then do this:



And finally, I should probably add this for good measure:

[Ferret]

Was the first event the armour competition? And PK ease off the smileys a little, too much is bad for you

(and you know that two members here are particularly sensitive to the clown...)

[_Tristan_]

I love it... Being on the frontline is what I like...

Though I'd like to correct one point of the story about Zagreb : never was it sacked, it was occupied...

Here is some consolation to my probably losing the election for Megas : I won't have to deal with the mess...

Great story TC

Yeah the Patriarch's challenge was the first.

As for the clowns, neither of the affected players are running this game so I feel safe.

[TinCow]

Though I'd like to correct one point of the story about Zagreb : never was it sacked, it was occupied...

Sorry, I thought that was a strange thing for you to do. The screenshot you posted looked like the mouse cursor was hovering over the 'sack' button, which is the usual sign that a place was sacked. I will correct the story.

[Ferret]

While you have the save do you think you can sort out the titles in Asteri. I should have the title of Rhodes and rossah the title of Smryna, I think deguerra has Rhodes and I have Smyrna at the moment...

[Privateerkev]

Zim also just gave Athens to Deguerra.

*edit*

Also the ranks will change.

deguerra (land) = Antypatos
-Elite Ferret (land) = Hypatos
--rossahh (land) = Domestikos
---Smowz
----Zim
-----The Lemongate (land) = Comes

[TinCow]

I'll make sure the titles are correct.

Many thanks PK, that will help me a great deal.

[TinCow]

Ok, I think the Library is fully updated now except for peoples locations, which will be added later. Please everyone double check your own mugshots and let me know if you see anything wrong, particularly your Lords, Vassals, Ranks, and Provinces.

Interestingly, by my calculations no one changed their level of influence at all. The following people all have additional influence available to them due to their rank, but they do not meet the stat requirements to gain them yet:

Domestikos Makedonios Ksanthopoulos - 1 out of 2 possible
Antypatos Ioannis Kalameteros - 1 out of 3 possible
Hypatos Hypatios Machonios - 1 out of 2 possible (also, hilarious name and title combo )
Domestikos Zigavinos Vasilakios - 1 out of 2 possible
Caesar & Domestikos Ioannis Komnenos - 2 out of 3 possible
Domestikos Aleksios ek Ikoniou: Corinth - 1 out of 2 possible

If any of these people marry the Princess, they'll be able to put that influence gain to use.

Remember, if anyone wants me to remove a negative trait from the Unwatched by the King line of traits, just let me know and I will do it. Other loyalty reducing traits you'll have to live with.

[AussieGiant]

Oh dear...TC you completely missed me out...unless that was on purpose

[Privateerkev]

Here is what I found so far in order of profiles:

In OK's profile, the Emperor has Bucharest but that province was given to AG.

Ig's profile should show Kag and Byblos as a vassal. Also, 00jebus might be a vassal but he never swore correctly after you changed the rules.

AG's profile should show him as having Bucharest and he is a Comes now.

I should have Koulianos removed as a vassal since PrinceofTroy quit the game.

Did Ichigo leave the game?

PrinceofTroy left the game.

00jebus might be a vassal of Ig but I'm not sure.

[The Lemongate]

Zim also just gave Athens to Deguerra.

*edit*

Also the ranks will change.

deguerra (land) = Antypatos
-Elite Ferret (land) = Hypatos
--rossahh (land) = Domestikos
---Smowz
----Zim
-----The Lemongate (land) = Comes

Eh the ranks in Asteri are not final yet.

There is no way Anastasios is staying under Kosmas who is now last in line.

[Privateerkev]

As long as you don't stop EF from being Hypatos Hypatios.

[TinCow]

All of the errors noted by PK have been fixed, except for those involving 00jebus. I would like clarification on his status from the people concerned. Also, since Philippos Eirinikos had a 1095 mugshot, that presumably means he is still alive in the latest save. Conversely, since Koulianos Vourzos does not have a 1095 mugshot, I am assuming he has already been killed off. Can someone confirm this (I'm at work atm and can't check)? If Ichigo's avatar is still alive, I may just stick him in Constantinople for a while, since his posts indicated he might be returning soon and I don't want to whack him if it's a temporary absense.

For Asteri, please let me know if/when you change the rank order. I don't always read the House threads, so I may miss it.

Thanks for the help everyone and keep reporting things as you see them. It's a lot more important that the Library be accurate in this game, and it's also a lot harder to keep everything up-to-date, so your help is appreciated. I'll likely need these public double-checks on a regular basis.

[Privateerkev]

Would you consider making the land transfer rules the same as the oath swearing rules?

Both really need to be public and up to date. The rank system completely depends on both systems being made very clear at any given length of time. Since rank goes into effect, the moment requirements are met, than the requirements should be easy to find.

Just an idea.

[Ituralde]

Maybe we should just make it mandatory for these things to be reported to the Diet. That way we would have an ingame gathering spot where everybody is kept up to date by just checking that one thread. Make it a combinde post by the House, an official proclamation or something of the sort.

[flyd]

Or just revoke the "public" status of house threads, leaving the Magnaura the only place oaths can be made.

[TinCow]

From a practical standpoint, land transfer have to be posted in a public thread or PMed to me, otherwise I won't ever be aware of them and can't make the changes. Preferrably, both would occur. I would actually like to start getting into a habit where people PM me when they change Oaths or gain/lose land. I won't make it mandatory, but it would certainly hel me with the organizational part.

[TinCow]

Or just revoke the "public" status of house threads, leaving the Magnaura the only place oaths can be made.

That would work, but I don't really want internal house reorganization cluttering up the Magnaura. As long as people draw my attention to the post, I can easily make the changes to the Library. Then people just have to look at the Library and they'll see what the current situation is in the
Political Alliances and Houses table. That's far easier than reading through the Magnaura looking for oaths.

[TinCow]

Ok, I have moved all the titles the their proper places in the game. I have updated all of the mugshots in the Library to reflect what should be the proper situation as I understand it. If you saw an error with your avatar before, please check to see if the current mugshot is correct (hit refresh, since the old pic might be cached).

I have also moved both Philippos Eirinikos and Koulianos Vourzos (who is still alive, I have added his mugshot to his bio) to Constantinople. I will confirm with the two players concerned whether they want those avatars 'stored' for a temporary period of time pending their return. If they want them killed off, it's a short walk to their watery grave.

I will upload the new save when I'm done setting up the armies for the Event.

I am, Ig updated the house thread a few days ago.

[Zim]

Since PK hasn't said anything on the subject since that last about my story, I think I should mention that I replied to his pm and everything is settled. It wasn't a joke (too bad, that would have been a funny one ), and I certainly wasn't using his character.

I'd have found the accusation insulting, but I was too busy laughing at the unlikely idea of Makedonios bein involved in a scheme that would reorder the Asteri house like that, for reasons that are quite clear given a once through of parts of the story thread.

Have I mentioned the yet?

Here it is again:

[OverKnight]

I just saw the cloaked figure as an alternate Universe Illuminati member.

I'll have to take a look at the new save and see how screwed Al is. . .I knew Bucharest was a stretch, I should have listened to my conscience.

[deguerra]

Just wanted to say that is a fantastic end of your story FLYdude. "Just chariot racing?" I don't think I've laughed so hard in a while

edit: Might as well note here that I will be gone for 5 days as of tomorrow. All Asteri business to EF or Zim please. Ive updated my character to allow him to be moved by anyone in my House.

I might just stay in Constatinople for the moment OK...you can have some fun in Bucharest for the moment.

But seriously, I guess I need to get my self out there and do something finally.

I'll update the SOT.

[_Tristan_]

TC has gone insane... Period.
