Barca

Yeah, I have no idea why Barca would attack the Zuma. What were we thinking?  ::)

Such things can usually be blamed on PMS.

[Carna]

Can you explain that in a little more detail? Because saying the Zuma have PMS - true or not - doesn't seem the best of ways to clarify the why's  :'(

Oh, so you're not the aggressor then. Well in that case, of course your fellow Veinsormoot realms, with whom you were considering federating, will be eager to jump to your defense.

Such things are best shared and explained IG. I personally dislike sharing anything that deals with GM factions over the forums.

[Carna]

Cause they'll read, laugh and make the demands you said you hope they wouldnt make?

Hmm?

The GM's. Not likely what you meant, obviously.

Finding out IC is always more fun though. You get to make up your mind when all the facts arn't available. Allows for disagreements, or agreements, that you wouldn't really expect knowing the full picture. Anyway, we just assume we know IC what's going on. Nothing's been confirmed, so it could be the start of another "Civilization Expanding". For all we know, the new estate system lets them hold more land too  :D

I think that the explanation is simple enough: Barca took Eragon (the region, not the book about the dragon) without asking for permission from the Zuma.

There's some more to the story, but I'd have to start insulting the characters in Barca, so I'll leave it at that.

Well, y'know, work away IC. The new food deal with the Zuma means you've no reason not to  8)

Down with Barca! Their Punic culture in the inlands was doomed from the start anyway.

There...is? /me goes to the library to check out that book about the kid who found the dragon egg and that had two sequels about his adventures.

I finished roughly halfway into the series. And by that I mean I finished Eragon (Not Eregon, see) and read Eldest up to a while. In order to calculate the actual % I completed I would have to get a complete trilogy and look at the total pages and the pages I have read. I do not feel particularly inclined to do that because I heard that the kid doesn't get it on with the dragon in the end, but the elf chick instead. Maybe. Not sure.

I read like 100 pages, and was like "wtf, this is AWFULLY familiar..."

Then I looked it up on the internet to know how the rest of the plot unfolds. My fear war confirmed: it IS a blatant copy-paste of Star Wars into a fantasy setting. Honestly, I'm surprised the guy hasn't been sued by Lucas Arts for plagiarism (or did he?). Every single plot hook is the same as in the original trilogy.
