RTW:BI roleplaying game: Vandal Invasion

[TheFlax]

I'm seeing his influence at 3 actually.

Should I do a battle report for Maroboduus' raid on Campus Quadi?

I'm seeing his influence at 3 actually.

King
Requirements: Must be in-game faction leader.
Influence: Equal to half the in-game Influence stats.

Visimar have 3 Influence "wreaths" in-game(in RTW:BI). So, according to rules, he have only 1 Influence during the Council Sessions(maximum would be 5).
I thought this could be used as a cause for civil wars and this doesn't make the king too overpowered currently when we have so few players. This can be changed with a Rule Change when ever you want.

You should ask that from Lord of Lent. Perhaps he want to write a story about it or something.

Okay, I thought you meant in game.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Perhaps I should rephrase that so it could be more clear then..

No, I understood the half in game influence rule, I simply thought your initial comment was about Visimar's in game influence and not his influence by the rules. Basically, it was just one big misunderstanding.

[TheFlax]

I have to ask, how hard is it in BI to raise your influence stat? Is Visimar an anomaly? I don't mind having only 1 influence by the rules, but I find it odd that everyone else has a fixed influence, while they also have an influence stat, with the king being the exception. I think this rule is a hold over from Authority in M2TW, right? (all other characters except the king having Loyalty instead of that stat.)

Also, shouldn't the 1/2 influence stat be rounded up? It makes for a much more even spread.

1-2 = 1
3-4 = 2
5-6 = 3
7-8 = 4
9-10 = 5

Anyways, that's just food for thought, I'm not complaining or anything.

1. The best way to raise someones Influence is to put him into the city as a governor or let him fight some heroic battles. The first option is not an option currently and Visimar have fought only small number of battles and in most of these he have outnumbered the enemy. If he manages to destroy those two Roman armies that were in North-Italy I think his Influence might rise. Also, you should check his ancillaries. That "Overseer" ancillary is giving -1 Influence. I think that was the only one.

2. Yes, this is a hold over from Authority in M2TW.

3. I think I thought about the system you proposed but can't remember I didn't chose it. Actually, it looks like a better way to determine the kings influence.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Since Hannibal Khan the Great had to withdraw playing Gondegusulus then he is currently open. I have sent a PM to Cecil who is the first one in the list of those who wait an avatar. Hopefully he is still interested joining us!.

Could Gondesguslus get a small teleport? He's lagging so far behind that whoever gets him can only move for several seasons and not do much else.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

If someone takes him then I could move him(and his army) near one of the other 3 generals.

[TheFlax]

Can we have an extension? I've been crazy busy yesterday and this morning. Actually, I'll probably still be busy tonight, but if you can wait about 15h or more, I'll be able to do my turn. If you really want to push on, then can you ignore my Status and Order post and move me West?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I could wait since I still wait a response from Cecil.

Edit: Also, I have a bad feeling that we have to replace Madoushi as well.

[TheFlax]

Did you PM him?

I'm looking forward to when Braden is back!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Yes, I sent a PM to him but he haven't been active in the Org for a while. Hope he comes back and joins us!

[TheFlax]

Please go ahead and end the turn (and move my character West), I'm having trouble with RTW and I'm too busy to fix it right now. I'll take a look at it tomorrow. Sorry, this was rather unexpected.

[Lord of Lent]

I'm back. Did I miss anything important I cannot read here?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Hannibal Khan the Great had to leave us and I am trying to get another player for Gobdegusulus.
Also, Maroboduus(btw that is you ), sacked Campus Quadii.

Other than that, nothing much have happened.

[TheFlax]

About the whole Alemanni thing, personally I just wanted to other players than I to have some action. Though debate at will, its interesting.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Actually I thought about attacking Alemanni with our captain myself when I ended that turn and they were stopped!

Anyway, since Cecil haven't been active and haven't read his PM's then I contacted Ignoramus. But it looks like we need a player for Gildo as well since Madoushi haven't been active in TR and he haven't read PM's I have sent to him. I would like to see all characters active when the Third Council Session starts.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Ignoramus will join as Gondegusulus.

Now I have to find another player for Gildo as well.

[Lord of Lent]

I'm still with you, Ibn! I should have told, but I had some problems with my internet connection. I hope it's solved now.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Good to know. This place started to look like a ghost town!

[TheFlax]

Still here, as I said busy week, I'm planning to play my turn today. Sorry.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Good! Just remember that we are at peace with the Romans!

[Ibn-Khaldun]

Taking the save.

EDIT: Save back: http://www.mediafire.com/file/hhtwyztuzmy/VI-372w-1.sav

Moved Marodobuus west.

Two things:

1) The save you posted is the same one I posted. Maroboduus haven't been moved. Can I move him myself? Looks like you forgot to save.

2) When you take the save and make your moves, then save the game with the next number.
Like this:
1. I post the report and the save as VI-372w-1
2. Someone else takes it, saves and uploads it as VI-372w-2
3. You take the save and make your moves. When you are done you save it as VI-372w-3 and upload it with the same name.
4. Someone else takes the save and makes his moves. When done, he saves and uploads the game save as VI-372w-4
Etc.

[Lord of Lent]

I know Ibn. But I'm having problems with uploading my saved games since 368. You can move Maroboduus until I have solved this. Do you know who I should ask for technical help?

[Ibn-Khaldun]

You have problems with mediafire?

And I will move Maroboduus.

[Ibn-Khaldun]

I PM'd some people(spammer as I am) and hopefully there will be some talking during this Council Session

[The Celtic Viking]

I PM'd some people(spammer as I am)

Well, it's nice to know I'm still on your hotlist, honey.

I think I'm in. If I find some time between studies and other RL stuff, I may inspect the cogs and screws of this game tomorrow; otherwise I'll do it on Thursday afternoon, after my exam. All I need is a good name... hmm...

[Lord of Lent]

You have problems with mediafire?

And I will move Maroboduus.

Thank you. Yes, I do have problems. I certainly need some troubleshooting to find out what the problem is. The first saves worked perfectly...
