1.0 Succession Game Discussion Thread

OFFICIAL SSbQ SUCCESSION GAME INFORMATION

This game has been moved to a private forum which can be found HERE.

Those who aren't playing along, your welcome to join us there to read along, although most forums will be restricted to those in game only.

To all PLAYERS, Please sign in with your Guild Name i.e. your username which we all know you by here at the EB forum. This will enable me to better track who is still playing along and active. While I encourage you to include your ingame name as well (for example, my username is Mago (Bootsiuv)), it isn't required.



We will be playing as Safot Softim biQarthadast on the RTW v1.5 EB v1.0 platform.

We will be using a custom mini-mod made by Spoofa which can be found HERE

A back-up for MP players compiled by madmatg can be found HERE

The Rules

1. The active gamemaster reserves the right to settle both in-game and out-of-game disagreements if they begin to affect the progression of the game. I also reserve the right to take away avatars for inactivity. If you're going to be inactive for a great length of time, please tell me in this thread. If you have a regular schedule which doesn't change, and you provide it to me, you will not be required to post every time you leave.

Being active will bring many rewards, so I encourage logging on once a day to check on the progression of the game, and make sure there is nothing which requires your attention.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. New members are welcome at all times. These new members must introduce themselves in this thread, so they can be assigned an avatar. DO NOT POST IN ANY OTHER SSbQ SUCCESSION GAME RELATED THREAD!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Only people who have been assigned avatars, whether they be in-game characters or 'senators' are allowed to post in other game related threads. ALL QUESTIONS FROM THOSE NOT PLAYING THE GAME SHOULD BE POSTED IN THIS THREAD.

Please note: Non-game related posts in any thread but this one will be ignored, and requested to be erased by an available mod. In other words, if you would like to join the game or have any other questions or concerns, post those in this thread, and this thread only, if you desire a response.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. The current player is known as the Shophet, and is voted in via election. If no members decide to run, the gamemaster will take the term.

Please Note: You DO NOT need an in-game character to be Shophet. Therefore, Senators are allowed to run for office. I encourage anyone who would like to run for office to do so, but I will limit the number of incumbents to 3 for now, on a first come-first serve basis. If, and when, we recieve more players, this number may be increased.

4a. Terms are 8 turns i.e. 2 years per.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5 Emergency Council meetings must be called by the Shophet for the following situations:

- Declaration of War on Safot Softim biQarthadast by another faction.
- Shopet wishes to declare war due to developing in game factors, but this war was not voted on at the previous council meeting.
- Certain building projects
- Space reserved; Idea pending

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. THE SHOPHET MUST SAVE THE GAME EVERY TURN. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. An unfortunate caveat of EB succession games, and required for reasons too complicated to go into in any great detail right here, but it involves a nasty CtD that players of the KH Succession Game discovered firsthand.

The original post, for the sake of completeness.

1.0 is here!!!

It's time to start discussing our future succession game. It may take a few days to get up and running, and I assume there will be no mini-mods available when we begin.

So we'll likely be playing 'vanilla' EB 1.0 (even though there's nothing vanilla about EB, you get the point).

This is a thread where all players in the community who are interested can chime in, and hopefully we can gleam some good ideas.

Please note: There will be rules and timetables in this game. There will be in-character threads that should stay in-character, etc. etc.

These are just some ideas I have concerning the next game we decide to play.

I'm thinking Safot Softim biQarthadast is the best choice, but what do YOU think?

I'd like to know.

Here's to good times conquering the world together.

*Even I am not above the rules in this game. I will add various checks to gamemaster power. This is mostly as a back-up in case this game lasts a long time, and for some unforeseen reason, I am no longer able to carry on and must pass my duties as gamemaster to someone else. I don't foresee this happening, but, at least it will ensure the game goes on with or without me.

[Spoofa]

Lusotannia, lets go to ireland and conquer the british isles together!! yaaaaay!


...

seriously though I think carthage would be cool.

[pezhetairoi]

eH? what is this succession game? Though if you asked me the faction we should be playing should be the Arverni :D

[Poulp']

Pontus !

well, anything as long as it's not the AS; I don't like managing an whole empire right from the start, especially when I didn't conquer it myself.

I volunteer

[Bootsiuv]

Good, I'm glad to see some new faces.

At Pezhetaroi, look at the Council of the Koinon Hellenon if you really don't know what a succession game is.

[Spoofa]

Averni? gah, no. Aedui plz.

[Bootsiuv]

Well, we'll have to come to an agreement although I encourage intelligent discussion.

I think we should go with Safot Softim biQarthadast because it controls such different areas of the map....different people will want troops sent to different theaters i.e. A sicilian governor will want troops sent to Sicily, while an Iberian governor will want those same troops for southern Iberia. It would be pretty cool to debate and vote on which areas are reinforced, and where are most important infrastructure is placed.

Sounds very interesting, if we all stick to the plan i.e. stay in character in the 'in-character' thread.

We also might consider putting our ingame names under our avatar.

The newest governor avatars and hopefully now with permanent links

I still don't have my senator sig,but don't worry,take your time.

[Bootsiuv]

It would appear that you won't be able to use your senator sig until your made a full member. You should be upgraded soon, and you could always go in the main hall and ask to be made a member....since your taking part in a succession game.

[Malik of Sindh]

when using spoofas mod,i can't enable the script.Show me how button is greyed out.When I exit game i get an error that says something similar to this:
Error in ebbs_script:
Cannot recognize monitor end_script

[Wolfman]

Can Anyone see my sig?

[pezhetairoi]

Well, I am fully for the separate forums. Definitely a lot better than a chaotic voting procedure. Even the Roman mob had voting queues. :D Just give me the URL, and I'll register as soon as I can! Like, Thursday or Friday evening.

[Wolfman]

Same Here

[Sassem]

Is there somebody in this team that can help me to put up my HTML page for my homepage (100mb) that can be used as a proposal vote system all in one page with that function that only authorized people can vote once a time

Just like the poll system in here only with multiple questions and 1 vote per question

I'm still a total noob about making websites but i'm eager to learn

I prefer some one from the team because i will probable need a lot of help in the beginning but if somebody else would like to help that's also ok


Thank You

That's cool that you are going to leave a thread or two open here so people can follow the game. Now that you've explained how much smoother the game could run with the addition of another forum it seems like a good idea.

I am interested in joining the game as a senator and look forward to the unveiling of the improved rules.

[Sassem]

Hello,


I'm busy with a online vote system

it's a form with proposals that will be sent by email to you and will be displayed online (my own webpage) when you submit the form


Hopefully i will be able do to some tests this week

Ps Bootsiuv try to be more on X'fire

[Leão magno]

Signing in right now!!! :) And still a junior member :) :) :)

[madmatg]

hey can we get an out of character thread for this new thread?
also when you say one proposal, be more specific cause i might take advantage and give a proposal like that one at the end of last turn

[Wolfman]

yippee!

[Boru]

To all about mad's question...

Keep in mind that a long proposal like that is very interesting in character and very specific in what u want to get done but the way the rules are panning out there will be many times for you to put forth what u want. So feel free to propose long, but it may mean that it will be harder to get votes. Also i ask all players, including myself, that even though our characters want specific things that we must come together as a player base to make things move along. We must find that happy medium and it will take all of us to do that! I hope the new setup works well for everyone and it seems to me the best way to make things happen. Also make sure to register on the site so we know who is playing, this is very important since we are assuming that most are back. Well hope to see all soon!
