So many Astroists and only one star, Allison. I left SA out of boredom, having much more fun now doing my own religion.

Yeah, I left SA because the politicking structure pissed me off and it bored me. Still, I see huge potential in the SA if only people can stop letting Allison do all the work.



@Marlboro, shoot me a message here or in-game any time. :) I'm interested in New-Kabri both IC and OOC. On the non-BM side, I've got an RP-oriented Skype group of GMs and Roleplayers from various games and places that I speak to regularly, (some of which play or played BM, one of which is about to join BM tomorrow, having another BMer there would probably help convince the whole group to stop our massive Civilization V conquest games long enough to play some BM :P), anyone interested in Fantasy, Scifi, or the most random conversations possible are welcome to join us. :P You can also find me on FB via the BM group, I'm the random long-haired dude, Gregory Struck. Cheers!

Indeed, the theocracies can be used as agents of enforcement– slap a ban on her as soon as she enters each.

And I bet a few unaligned would be ready to ban her to please the Astrocracies. Or just because they hate her to begin with.

Politicing is kind of a central point to the game. What else would you expect when you get so many nobles together, from such a disparate cross-section of the island?

To be honest, you are somewhat correct about Allison driving a lot of what hapens. What you are incorrect about is that it wouldn't hapen without her. She tends to derail as much as she starts. In fact, she has worked to derail as much of the church's efforts to work against the south as she could, simply because she's not in charge of it. She can be very frustrating. If not for her, I think more would actually get done, because we wouldn't have to be constantly fighting her.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.

Honestly I consider this really a phase for SA. I consider Allison the Brom of Luria or vice versa depending upon how you look at it.

My reasoning is that while Brom was in Luria he helped push forward a lot of RP since he was simply plotting all the time. However, he also messed up a lot of things, a lot of his own plans and others, and much of Luria was sort of stuck in a rut for a while. But, once Brom left, Luria really stepped forward and started developing new paths of RP and started expanding some, etc...

I think the same could happen with Allison if she left SA.

All us plotter schemers are under the radar right now. Allison needs to join us in the shadowlands for a while.

I am sure  Allison is plotting something, she always is.

If you need help, shoot Alura Aurea a message IC or OOC, I type a good 5 to 20 thousand words a day in my writing activities to keep in practice and write stories, poetry, and lyrics in various styles and themes. (Though Scifi will always be my main one.) I am ALWAYS up to help make things interesting if someone needs help with a plot or RP idea. :)

Come do some of that writing in Arcaea. We have plenty of battles, but we need more RP.

Arcaea, riiiiight. Been putting my 2nd Arcaean on pause because I'm too broke to donate $ to re-unlock my noble slot at the mo', which is halting my usual RPs in Arcaea since I need Vvaros and Alekhthaeos together to make it work as planned. :) Should be good and back to RPing by next week, I hope.

Damn... That felt surprisingly good.    8)
What is Freedom? - ye can tell; That which slavery is, too well; For its very name has grown; To an echo of your own

T'is to work and have such pay; As just keeps life from day to day; In your limbs, as in a cell; For the tyrants' use to dwell

Rule 1: Follow the rules
Rule 2: Shut up about having to follow the rules

Malus knew Constantine would make a great Luminary of the Austere/Attack Dog. TBH, it was the way he acted when Luria rolled in to take his region that sort of sealed the deal.

That is how war should be fought considering its nobility, respect regardless of who's side they are on.
