Southern War of Nobility (Civil war in Madina)

[Phellan]

Weekends, 'nuff said :P

To be honest, if we'd have had everyone move at the same time, preferably in time for tomorrow morning's turn, we'd have had a good chance at breaking through the walls.

I'm just rather miffed as a player. We sit on our arses for weeks, then orders come at a silly time of night (I only just got them before going to bed), then we turn around (again at late notice). So now the foreseeable future is "sit on your arse, the battle will come". But Halicos is happy for now so y'know, no complaining from me :P

Ditto, OOC I'm really not impressed with the way things went - everything happened while I was at work, I can't make turn changes on the weekends. . .just bash my head into the desk.   I wanted a real siege and we missed an awesome opportunity to have one. -.-   Now it's back to refit and more boring ass waiting.   

My only OOC hope is the Aurvandil folks come and play with us, cause this is getting boring (and frustrating).

IC wise, Vallyn see's lots of chances and is alright with the outcome as it gave us info.  But hed still rather just a one-time-epic battle.

I believe his point was that their activities are preventing the realm from spending as much time as they need to on region maintenance. In other words while you might have it together more then people think (which is odd since most of us are assuming that with the super active Saxons you have it together just fine) you don't have it together enough to guard you southern border and maintain your north.

A fair comment, maybe not but when you have a habit of bragging about every realm you belong to you are going to have to expect to attract some flak back.

Actually I don't brag about every realm, just my favorites. Please, don't exaggerate it.

As for the war, Aurvandil will probably attack eventually. We don't cherish the thought of waiting for Madina to attack, either, and with our left over CS we will probably wait a tax or two to boost our strength to ya know, 25k-30k CS. But I don't have much say or idea what our military plans. I get to play with food, one of Madina's favorite past times, but not so much mine.

My god your right, I can see at least TWO WHOLE REALMS you haven't bragged about, pity one of them wasn't OW.

Cool your jets, man. Is it that big of a deal to you? I've seen a TON OF BRAGGING on the forums. And a ton of dissing for that matter, in fact you're the "disser" here, so have some respect and stop being rude.

People can brag all they want, I was pointing out that if you don't want return fire don't brag in the first place. It is disingenuous to brag constantly about Aurvandil and claim that every woe that befalls Madina is somehow a victory to the realm, then turn around and have a little hissy fit when someone from Madina does the same.

Wait, so you're implying that by saying "Which means it wasnt your doing, so what do you want? A medal?" is a hissy fit? I didn't have a fit when they shot something back at me, I was going for sarcasm in that post, not anger or frustration. Did I claim that the revolt in Madina was our doing? No, I didn't. Did I brag about the awesome extent of Aurvandil's roleplays? Nope. Very little happens in Aurvandil other than training our units and once in a while dealing with rogues and Madina. So when something exciting happens, like fighting Madina, I can't but feel a bit proud of our realm.

And really, it's not just the Saxons who make Aurvandil an active and organized place, you give them too much credit.

You guys don't even have fun rps?
Atleast we start drinking when where bored, alot of things sudenly seems so much more fun... :P

But seriously, this conflict is needs to escalate.
Hopefuly Aurvendils anounced genocide on Madinan nobles will help.

I WANT A DWILIGHT WIDE WAR!

The Luriens should start involving and things will eventually grow out in a massive war.

Sorry, we are busy rebelling. The rumors say a new one is coming soon, we have been having a stable government for too long.

[Nosferatus]

Sorry, we are busy rebelling.

really? i thought that was a joke?! haha

Seriously, why?
Perhaps a common enemy will unite you guys together again.
Don't you see Aurvendil as the enemy of nobility its self? :P

[Perth]

If you could either the Véinsørmoot or the Lurians to intervene, the opposite one would probably jump in as well. Then, it may not be a Dwilight Wide War, but it would be a southern half of the continent wide war and it would be a pretty big show, for sure. It would get messy.

[Galvez]

I think they would rather target the Grand Duchy of Fissoa.

[Nosferatus]

I think they would rather target the Grand Duchy of Fissoa.

I think they would rather target D'hara.
They have settled there issues with Fissoa.

[De-Legro]

Ignoring the lot of you while focusing on our own problems and expansion plans is a far better plan at this stage. I got a real kick out of the Aurvandil judges attempts at justifying their new kill all enemies policy, and in PeL we're not that impressed with it, but so far as entering the war, we see this as a internal issue, just like our own rebellions. No need for outside forces to intervene, at least not our forces.

Besides the governments at home HAVE been rather stable, and at the moment the constant internal conflict isn't reaching a point where you can identify a likely rebel party, that in itself is a bit concerning and warrants focusing on the home front. Even if the Moot does decide to get involved, I can't see influencing the Lurian perspective, short of trying to annex Fissoa every now and then we are a rather insular bunch, and the driving force to annex Fissoa died with Alanna. There were plans to claim the Lighthouse and restore the Bedwyr family to its Duchal holdings, but that was before D'Hara returned to the area,.

"inactive" not stable.

[JPierreD]

"inactive" not stable.

Yea, that's the issue. Our King seems to be MIA: doesn't answers letters or performs the Banker job it took, nor appoints a different Banker (or seeks one, for that matter).

I was kidding about there being too much stability, of course.
