Seeking Active Players interested in Military Dominance

[Dante Silverfire]

I want to fight somewhere we can actually win, AND where it is fun to do so. Fighting NPC's isn't as fun. Even NPC's controlled by GM's.

Isn't that the whole point of the game, and where all the fun comes from? Trying to get everyone to work together on a political agenda even though they don't always agree?

The fun comes from imposing your political agenda on others. How are you gonna do that when everyone's out for themselves? One needs allies.

Come join Oriolton, and we can take down Lukon!

Yeah, but if your plan is to collect 15 of the most active players you can find, it'll be like herding cats. Active players are *power players*. They are the people most likely to challenge each other for dominance and engage in political confrontation. I guess if they sign up for this they'll probably be coming in with some expectation of working together, but still. Good luck.

However, most active players have a dummy character or two; a character they don't invest lots of time in. If every active player put their dummy character in the same place, this clan could have a chance.

Except that I don't think most "highly active" players are active in the same way as clans are. I log several times a day probably. But it's often at odd times not at all around the turn. An effective clan needs coordinating times.

Tell that to Aurvandil.

No politics, no roleplay, drones only, final boring realm.

[Indirik]

Just about everyone has a dump character they could toss into a project. Like I said before, it could be interesting.

[Foundation]

Okay, you should've said it's For Science... I'm in.  I'm ditching if it gets boring though. :P

[Eithad]

Join Sirion, become general, ..., profit.

Theres no need to recruit active players to you, just go to where they are and lead them to glory.

[Chenier]

Tell that to Aurvandil.

Are you in Aurvandil?

No politics, no roleplay, drones only, final boring realm.

How about you?

Medicant is a well fleshed-out character. He is very interesting to interact with, as a foreign ruler. Imo, you can't complain about his internal politics unless you are in the realm yourself. You could complain about his foreign politics as a foreigner, but I've yet to see anything to complain about on that level.

I, for one, and quite happy to have Aurvandil as a neighbor. Not sure what to expect of them on the long-term, but interactions with them have never deceived me.

[Foundation]

Yes, I am.

[BardicNerd]

I have a character I'm not doing anything with . . . might be fun for a bit.  I may end up sending him to BT, but until then, I'll give this a try.

Well, activity and military skills dont cover everything. It is big part of winning battles and wars, but economy is the key for winning wars.

So, what you also need is good number cruncher and pretty wealthy realm. Eventuallly even most active army will be worn out and gold start to burn for recruiting/repairing/upkeep. If war lasts a bit longer economy start to become issue.

Often i see realms stretchign them self too much with orders like "Recruit all you can!!!" Then you go and fight few battles, if you win... your nobles start to shout "Gimme gold gimme gold, i cant pay my men!!!" if you fight even battles or even lose battles they start to shout "Gimme gold gimme gold i need to recruit!"

Too bad, i dont have any spare chars, well... i could dumb one of my BT chars at some point(or both if BT sinks :D), but that simply not possible atm. IC wise to abandon Thalmarkin. And UU is prince of Darka and needed there... and well, maybby it would be time to get riddoff KK at Darka and get some action when some hothead would jump on the throne and throw all diplomacy to trashcan :)

Anyway, few years ago, i could have name dozen players to join my dream team, but these days... good old turn junkies have gotten old and lazy :P(including my self :)
