OOC Thread and Chatroom 2

[Ituralde]

Better mention it early, but my whole family will be visiting over this long weekend we have in Germany, so don't expect anything from me from Friday to Sunday!

Have fun!

[GeneralHankerchief]

I think what IK said about the quotes is correct. That's what I did when I executed the rest of Al's will.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Hey OK, congrats on the Senior Membership. Welcome to the club.

This goes for anyone else I missed...

[OverKnight]

I did some testing. I can add ancillaries to Tiv. I can even add a unique character, I used roger_bacon. However when I use the same exact format for taticius, even though I don't get an error message, he doesn't appear in Tiv's retinue.

This leads me to believe that unique characters, once spawned can't be respawned after their "death". That, or it might only be taticius since he doesn't have any triggers, unlike the other unique characters.

I couldn't have passed tac on to anyone even when Al was alive, he's non-transferable.

I guess we could mod a solution, but that seems overkill.

Edit: Huh, Senior Member? When did that happen? Cool. . .do I have to learn a secret hand shake?

[GeneralHankerchief]

It's probably best if poor Tacitus ended his LotR appearance now, otherwise he would have been forced to live forever, educating generation after generation. Our avatars live unnaturally long lives anyway, imagine how immortal the retinue would be?

No secret handshake, but you do get access to the .Org's ultra-top-secret pr0n forum, featuring only the best ladies from all eight continents.

NO ONE told me about that GH!!??

And yes there is a secret handshake...but I should not have said that.

Well done OK. I actually noticed that a few days ago and thought it was odd. Seems someone was thinking the same.

I'm back now, but am too tired from the travel to get stuck into this right now. My immediate priority is eating some good sushi (love the Italian food... but 2 weeks without asian is too long) followed by sleep. I will start getting back up to speed tomorrow (taking the day off) and will resume full duties this weekend.

Yay! TC is back!

Perfect timing. I didn't want to play the Protoasecretes and Klimis at the same time.

Hope you enjoyed Italy, you lucky dog you.

Why do I have this weird impression things are about to heat up in Magnaura?

[rossahh]

What, just because we have a paranoid and power-hungry Basileus in control now?

I can't wait to see the Basileus stomp on someone (so long as it's not me). It's time to get those banishment powers going.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I'm gone for some hours and I'm banned from Magnaura!

It's good that I wasn't away more than that. Who knows what Basileus might have done then!

[Ignoramus]

Just a reminder that this is all IC. This no indictment on you personally Ibn-Khaldun, and I hope you don't mind sitting this one out.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Lol.. Of course I understand that it is IC

You just wait for my IC counter actions as well!

[_Tristan_]

Seeing the Magnaura lately, I have the feeling we're having the Illuminati back in business but out in the open or almost...

[deguerra]

ok guys. i am in no way up to date, but back and will tackle the threads soon.

[flyd]

So, when does this session end? I don't think that was ever declared.

[OverKnight]

Right about now by my estimation.

Igno called the Emergency Session on October 1st at 0147 GMT (it was actually 9/30 at 2047 for me). It's been three days and an hour. The usual length of a Session is around that amount.

Of course the Session was never gaveled in by GH (as acting GM) so that casts some doubt on the issue.

I'm involved in a heated game of Axis & Allies right now. In a few hours, assuming TC doesn't act, I'll make my final move as GM and call an end/do the vote.

[ULC]

Is no one interested in the Veterans Haven? .
If not, then can I ask it be deleted?

[_Tristan_]

Not so much not interested as lacking time to post in it...

[ULC]

Not so much not interested as lacking time to post in it...

No need to be sorry, just no one else besides those I initially invited for IC reasons has come forward. Feels weird having it up.

[Ignoramus]

Solved that problem.

[ULC]

Solved that problem.

So long as you post, fine by me . Your In BTW. So grace us with your presence

[AussieGiant]

It's also a time thing for me YLC.

My apologies.

Rules clarification: For Emergency Sessions, does influence remain the same as it was in the previous normal session, save for the Megas, or is it recalculated from the last used save or something?

Also, Aleksios's long life (He was 68 wasn't he?) reminded me of a feature I know of from Deus lo Vult, a mod very similar to SS that also used BB&B. It changed the age mechanics so that avatars could die from natural causes at any age from 30 to 100. I wonder if we'll see any other avatars die much sooner or much later than 61.

It is recalculated. Use the most recent save before the session was called.

[TinCow]

Ok, I've done the basic obvious updates: moving Aleksios to the Mausoleum, adding the new titles for Basileus and Ceasar, and adding the new avatars for OK and GH. However, I'm sure there's been a few changes in provinces and oaths lately and it would be a lot faster if people could summarize this for me instead of me having to search all the threads for whatever has changed. Please post if you're aware of something that has changed that I need to update.

[Cecil XIX]

Well, GH and OK's avatars swore allegiance to Apionnas.

While playing this mod the oldest character age I noticed was 69.
