Feature Requests / Re: Religion type
« on: July 26, 2011, 11:24:32 PM »
It makes little sense that the "secular" type described by you wouldn't be able to declare opposing religions evil, when that type is the closest to the Catholic Church or Islam.  Both of which certainly declared some other faiths as evil.

What he said.  Sure, someone wouldn't have a "back up" currently on the continent, but it wouldn't be difficult to remake immediately.

It's easy for certain families to stay in power if they truly want to remain there and have the support to do so, even on Dwilight.

So he tried to swipe a city from another realm (I assume he failed). Ban him IC for that.
A question on the mechanics, but do paused characters show up to be banned?  I never made a note of it when my character was a judge.

He said SMA, no?  Claiming to be elves isn't SMA.

I've never understood the reason people feel the need to cheat in a free game...

Of course.  The one realm who also has a history of siding with the daimons is usually among the first to call for Sint's blood.  Right, Chénier?

With OG losing a third of her nobles and Thalmarkin gaining half we declared war on OG for allying with Sint "the daimonlovers" and went on to join the raid in Ossmat and take Vatrona.
And how'd that work out for OG in comparison to Thalmarkin? =P

At this stage, that will take a long-long time.  ::) No one has made much progress except Perdan
I see Caligus is on your doorstep.

Could always do a Sherman-esque march and burn all the food stores around.  Starve them to go rogue and end that last holdout.

Possibly two or three realms, actually, depending on size.  At the very least the Ibladesh Duchy and the Itourant Duchy.

Well, neither will likely be very habitable for some time after the war...

I disagree. What % of available software is console-compatible? I heard you can hack an OS onto a console, but then you lose your warranty. And since they seem to fail to easily nowadays, that's a pretty bad thing.
My Xbox 360 lasted from 2006 (when they were released) until December or so last year.  That's a better track record than most PCs I've had!

You *need* word-processing, in most cases. I would hate to use Microsoft Office on a console. Why double up your hardware to have one system to do the technical stuff, and then another to play games and do misc. stuff? By your argument, nobody needs consoles because iPhones can do everything they do. With the convenience of being portable and of being phones while they are at it, too.
Technically I don't NEED a PC.  I prefer it for certain games and for certain chat protocols.  However, as phones do become more and more accessible for that sort of thing, the PC will be less useful.  Especially as MMOs are slowly being released on consoles!  My phone can create Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents, so yes, you are right on that part.  As for phones replacing consoles...  It's possible one day, actually.  That won't be for a long time, however, as they aren't nearly powerful enough and battery life doesn't last nearly long enough.  If they managed to do that?  PCs and Consoles would be gone.  Provided they can also plug up to the TV for larger screens!

I mean, you can only play games on a console, while there is so much more to do on a computer...
Like?  Surf the web?  Consoles can do that now.  Voice chat?  Consoles do that.  Go on Facebook?  Consoles do that.  Watch TV, movies, etc?  Consoles do that.  Check up on the news?  Again, consoles do that.

Pretty much the only thing that consoles have over consoles at this point in time is word processing (including various coding) and graphic editing.

As for the Wii U...  Goodie.  Another kid system.  The new controller reminds me of the Sega Game Gear from the early 1990s.  Nintendo should honestly give up on consoles in the current era and focus on bringing their classic brands to Sony and Microsoft's platforms, much like Sega did.  Only possible exception would be their hand-helds, which provide much needed competition for Sony.

BM General Discussion / Re: Council Power
« on: June 24, 2011, 02:08:22 PM »
Name a classical monarchy, tyranny, or republic where the ruler does not have the right/ability to remove cabinet-level members of the government.  Even in modern republics this is a standard thing.  Pretty sure in modern monarchies most monarchs have the right as well, even if it's not practiced (due to possible protests against -them-). 

The ruler should not have to call on the general membership to protest a person out of a position.  The person could do an adequate enough job, but the purpose of a cabinet/council is historically to be a trusted group of advisers.  i.e. a privy council.

Personally, I'd like to see the ruler being given the option of dismissing the Council to allow new appointments/elections.    Having to deal with the previous ruler's choices doesn't really make much sense, especially in all but democracies and, to a degree, republics.  If the general membership disagrees with the ruler's choice, there can be protests.

Or a powerful sorcerer.  Though magic has faded from the BM world ICly, there are still old wizards still running about.  Perhaps there are young ones fiddling with magic and...  Oops.  Sank the islands beneath the seas. >.>
