same... XD

[Beskar]

Sure sure, now could you could be so kind as to put on a hat, the glare is giving me a headache.

Eww what is that smell... like some one dropped their guts in the privy.

[Greyblades]

If everyone's orders are as long as ours I think we wont see if for a day or two. Anyone want a round of Shogun 2?

OOC:...dude. Spoilers.
IC: Its nice to know you read, I hear the lord of dragonstone reads by moonlight, he just sits under an open window at night and tilts his head. He doesnt have enough wax left for candles after all.

[Montmorency]

The Baratheon likes to think himself clever. Another instance of reality falling short of expectation.

[johnhughthom]

Since there seems to be a lot of speculation, I don't think I'll be getting the results out before Monday evening. I'm doing the grunt work tonight, tomorrow I have a few of those Christmas visits to relatives you rarely see, then I'll get on to the actual write ups. So probably Monday I'll be finishing them up to get them out that evening. I'm going to be sending them all out around the same time.

edit: I'm in the UK for those wondering when exactly "Monday evening" is.

[Kival]

Take your time. Everybody should understand how much work you have to do here.

[Greyblades]

I think we can entertain ourselves, take your time.

[The Stranger]

i understand :P I think you should hire someone to help you!

lannister will pay :P

[Beskar]

OOC:...dude. Spoilers.

Not a spoiler, everyone knows Tywin Lannister's poop is gold.

[Greyblades]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Yeah, but you were referencing Tywin's death.

Not necessarily, there were a lot of references in the books to people saying Tywin pooping gold, and his extreme reactions to it.

[Diamondeye]

I would be honored to take my place alongside Kagemusha as a Tyrell in this game. It seems like we manage great things when we're on the same side :)

[Greyblades]

Well yeah but he didnt even mention gold.

[Beskar]

Some one who hasn't read the book wouldn't have got any references, they now only suspect something because of your reaction Greyblades! I was simply saying Tywin Lannister was a little stinky.

Sounds good, I'll forward the details on to you. Like I said the phase is over, but you can get to know each other in the QT!

Poor Renly, the only faction left with two players, I thought he was supposed to be the happy go lucky chap everybody liked?

...Thats it? A Poop Joke? No meta jokes? I was expecting better of you Beskie.

[The Stranger]

has anyone even heard from renly... i have no idea who he is or what he is up to :P

[johnhughthom]

I blame Double A, poor Khazaar has to do all the work.

[Beskar]

I heard from Double A saying he is Renly.

[Kagemusha]

Welcome to the House Tyrell! We always have room for people like you!

Everyone is avoiding me like the plague. Maybe they see a second shadow and get scared off.

I've sent PMs to 3 people and haven't gotten a reply. WAKE UP, SIGURD.

Maybe you need to tell Brienne to stop standing so close?

[Kagemusha]

By the way.What do you think. Should we forbid last minute declarations? I do not have anyhting against changing House orders even to the last minute. But for example declaring War at last hour smells meta gaming to me. The declaration of Greyjoys is not what i am basing this as it was against an "AI" faction, so JHT has all the time in the world to react to it. It is more about declaring war at the last minute of the phase in order to deny the other faction from being able to act accordingly.
To me we could have a rule that all declarations of war should be done atleast 24 hours before the deadline. Any takers?

Welcome aboard, Diamondeye! :3

The final say-so lies with the host naturally, but I think that this is a good idea to an extent. I'd say that twelve hours before the deadline would still give scope for responding to the declaration of war, but maintains the sense of urgency that a defending nation may feel in mobilising it's forces/trying to appease the aggressive party.

[Greyblades]

Wait what about sneak attacks? Are we allowed to do those or do we have to declare our intent?

[johnhughthom]

Sneak attacks are fine, declaring war is only necessary to call the banners.

[White_eyes:D]

Sneak attacks are fine, declaring war is only necessary to call the banners.

And as we all know sneak attacks are not really that helpful in medieval warfare. It's more about the castles really.

[Greyblades]

So if I do attack someone without declaring I should assume my lords wont join it until the next turn? Hmm I guess should also assume they cant join in because you cant have your bannermen called up without someone noticing and ruining the element of surprise.

Yes.Of course it is up to host. I was suggesting 24 hours as we can have teams from different continents and all these people have limited time to view the forums because of various reasons. The surprise attacks without declarations are whole other ball game as they are what they are, surprises. With a proper declaration of War. Any House should be able to discuss their options. No matter where on the globe they happen to live and what time zone. In the game the council of a certain House would be in one place in any case.

My personal opinion is that a Lord should be able to call up his bannermen when ever he pleases, but it is not my call to decide that.

[Double A]

Maybe you need to tell Brienne to stop standing so close?

Even if I sent her to the Wall, people would still be frightened away. Gods she's ugly.
