Grand Duchy of Fissoa thread

[Lanyon]

Loss or win doesn't matter. What matters is that we stood against Aurvandil supremacy against all odds. I hope our message was clear.

Aurvandil supremacy? We aren't the ones you're fighting bud :P

Potato potato.

Possibly, but if that were so, any griefer with a high swordsmanship skill could just force people he didn't like to lose loads of honour and prestige for no good reason at all.

Yes, but for this we have judges! If a Judge can decide if duels are legal or not. He would decide if the reason for a duel are justified or not... If not, he can punish the guilt part, or He would make a 'acceptance' if the duel is justified, etc...

With the help of the judges it couldn't be so hard to have a functional duel-system. As they are now, they are almost useless... IMHO, of course.  :)

Oh yes! they are... at least this is the opinion of some Falkirkians... although others think the opposite! Is wonderful to see a realm who didn't know what is it!  ;D

Y'know, that never really works well in text unless you write it out phonetically—ie, "poe-tay-toe, poe-tah-toe" ;D

[Indirik]

It worked well enough that you knew what he meant. :D

Technically we are fighting puppets, who are being manipulated by the puppet master which implies we are fighting the puppet master herself (or itself).

Yes. I know. But I was also throwing in irony. I was saying 'they are the same thing', while writing the same thing.

[Velax]

"poe-tay-toe, poe-tah-toe" ;D

I have never heard someone actually pronounce the word as "poh-tah-toh", except in connection with this phrase.

Actually, I have ;D

One was an (American) actor playing Ebenezer Scrooge (on the line "you're nothing but an old potato, Jacob Marley!").

The other was my (British) cousin, around the age of 7.

Calling on everyone with a deep and abiding love of Fissoa to help update the realm page on the wiki!

Yay!

Also, as one of the most involved players in Fissoa I have to refute many of the above statements. Fissoa has been, and is, the most fun realm I have been part of in BM. Without it I would have been long gone. This thread is in no way representative of the realm.

Why? Because it's history is complex but consistent, because there's a generally friendly player to player atmosphere, because it offers my kind of RP and a good mix of realm values. And because I like playing an underdog :) May Fissoa live long and prosper!

On a more on-topic note, though, ex-ruler Skyndarbau is facing Queen Alice Arundel in combat to the death this evening at the turn change. Wish us luck! Although my feelings are mixed, I think it would be best for Skyn to perish. It offers a chance to new players to take over within the realm, provides a more interesting narrative towards Luria and allows me to take things down a notch. And I'll get a new character in Swordfell or perhaps Luria :)

I've always been impressed by the consistent seemingly active/participatory existence of Fissoa for so long given that there for a long time the realm seemed like one of the more isolated realms on the island.

That's right. Damn smoothest thread de-necroing you ever did see.
