The Zuma

[Wolfsong]

You could try writing a letter to Haktoo; I believe he appears on the "send a message to some rulers" list. Or, journey to the Zuma lands.

Every time I've ever tried this, I've received nothing in reply but silence.

To Haktoo in particular or just a ruler? And I hear that they prefer to talk in person, although I don't know if that means they won't correspond through letter or if they simply send a request for you to visit them. I have visited Haktoo more than once and received RP replies. (They prefer being in person I believe because of the roleplaying that can be done which is harder to do when not in the same region.)

The GM is pretty busy as well.

Hireshmont hasn't contacted Haktoo in a long time. Usually, Hireshmont ended up getting what he wanted from interactions with Haktoo eventually, but usually what he wanted was, "Is there any way you could please not kill us?" so it was kind of a low bar.

It goes a little like this:

1) Long period of Zuma being irrelevant, no one paying them any attention, they do nothing, etc.

2) Someone once again remembers they exist.

3) Someone tries to "figure them out."

4) Zuma get pissed and/or manipulated into attacking/threatening to attack someone.

5) Crisis of Zuma apocalypse narrowly avoided due to new deal with Zuma, begging, and/or pleading.


Rinse and repeat.

You can get banished from Barca for talking to the Zuma. Absolutely when those 'talks' are considered provocative.

Hell in Terran we'd start thinking about banishment if you talked ABOUT the Zuma, let alone to them.

Living next to the Zuma and having witnessed their fury does that to your legislation. 

[Lanyon]

the zuma are a two edged sword. if used right they can be a realm's salvation, but they can also wipe out a realm for something trivial.

Yeah? You seen that happen, have you?

I'm late to this, but I had to:

"Oh Zuma... I think you'd look great in this dress..."

Seems to me zuma has been idle for too long, would be awesome if they do something for once. ( not talking about diplomatic talks or small raiding parties)

They're getting tired of starving...and the drought isn't helping things any either.  You never know...

[Galvez]

As long as the Zuma remain fed, they remain friendly.

Why, so the GM's that give up their time to play the Zuma can get attacked in the forums again?

Then delete zuma and make space for another player kingdom there.
