zzzZZZZzz nothing is happening in Atamara?
zzzZZZZzz nothing is happening in Atamara?Actually there is a diplomatic summit being done at Stargard with rulers and ambassadors of Suville, Carelia, Caergoth, Strombran, Tara, and Cagilian Empire so it is going to be quite the event. I will write up a better sounding and more informed version hopefully tonight.
Is Coria really not invited? I just assumed you guys thought/knew we were too busy.You were basically considered irrelevant as it a summit for the the southern realms, CE only got in because they asked.
EDIT: On topic, wait a day or so and we might have a story of a fight between MI, BoM and ML.
You were basically considered irrelevant as it a summit for the the southern realms, CE only got in because they asked.
And yet we were the first to sign peace with Suville, despite CE's peace treaty being drafted first. It's cool, though, we really are too busy... And the CE should cover our angle anyway.NO!
Do I post this? Not sure if your Edit means not to.It's still a major event, I just thought proper credit should be given for the mistake.
What the hell? I thought this was supposed to be objective reports?

Nope, opinions are welcome. You'll see other similar posts on Facebook, feel free to post replies on Facebook to "set the record straight" (as others have done with other posts)

Since nobody else is writing it:Your post is appreciated.
The combined forces of Eston, Darka and the Barony of Makar broke through Talerium's lines in Cantril, granting the Barony access to the Caglian Empire for a looting raid. Caglian troops in Nazia were unable to respond, having to cross the mountains to chase the enemy. What impact this has on the war, if any, remains to be seen. Cantril, currently being taken over by Eston, been in contention for more than a year.
This was the 689th time Darka violated its agreement with Talerium by entering Cantril, by the way. ::)

I'm not in Darka and never have been, but I thought Cantril was excepted? Also, to be fair, there was ONE Darkan troop leader... I checked. I wasn't sure to include them or not at first.

Cagil News Agency Dispatch:
With Estonite assistance, Makarian troops breached Talerium defenses at Cantril and rampaged in interior Cagilan regions. However the undisciplined Makarian raiders were quickly encircled and annihilated by Cagilan forces before they could do much damage. Several Makarian nobles were reportedly captured and held for ransom. Had they remained at Nazamroth, the outcome of the subsequent battles might have been different.
This implies the Barony ever pays ransom. It also ignores the fact that a good number of them have escaped already. (Third stone from the left, mate.)
We didn't even ask for the girls in the first place. We just said "pay the ransom with horses if you don't have gold" and they sent us servant girls.
I think it has something to do with their strange cavalry. I try not to think about it too much.
Most of the damage that BoM inflicts is sanity damage. :-\
Nope scribe notes don't work on the forum :(open the scribe note in game, and copy the address then post that.
I will have news soon. The summit for peace between Carelia and Suville which included the realms of Caergoth, Carelia, Suville, Tara, Strombran and Cagilian Empire is coming to a close soon, in peace or war, and war is what the current situation points to as both sides are sticking to their current, opposing views on Caergoth's claims to Riverholm. The main factor that may be able to change that is that an ambassador of Coria is coming south to join in the negotiations, being rather non-biased, as they hope for peace and a bias will not help peace happen.
I thought the summit was over? Ambassador Asleon is being sent for the same purpose, but with the expectation that the Summit has already failed.Not officially, but it is basically.
Ithillian forces are backed against a wall, and in the face of a Leon backed by foreign gold and foreign nobles intended to bypass the peace agreement with Coria, will soon break against their superior foe. Abandoned by their allies after a pair of Makarian military errors, soon the Barony's southern border will be exposed to the hostile forces of their enemies. With Makarian forces facing an eventual forces withdrawal from the Western Front, can the Northern Alliance hold? Should it after abandoning its own?
On a completely OOC level, I'm confused, what foreign nobles are you talking about? Minas Leon has had a bunch of ex-Ithilians join that have been banned by Raziel, but when we looked into it, we found no Tarans (as originally claimed by King Sidd) had joined Minas Leon. Are there really foreign nobles joining Minas Leon to bypass the treaty or not?
I wouldn't doubt the gold, though. That's almost a given.
Naw, thats propaganda. They did acquire a TON of new nobles though.
Naw, thats propaganda. They did acquire a TON of new nobles though.actually as far as I know, Minas Leon got only 2 newbies, one of those hadn't be so active and the other being me. We also gain a couple of just restarted players, but mostly we are ex-ithilians
After several months of peace talks the treacherous Suville has finally signed a cease fire. As long as Suville does not attack Carelia, peace will officially be signed in 6 months.
Remnants? What remnants? There's nothing left!

Minas Leon barely won the battles...
If our marshal or general would wake up, we might just survive. The battles are having a great toll on the invaders, and they've yet to begin a takeover.
Minas Ithil's destruction is not yet assured.
Funny thing, though: we had no idea we were being invaded. Yay for not scouting around us!

Unless my Ambassador is a force unto himself? :P (Thanks tho', you do work magic.)
Wow, that was fast - after less than one day in the Cagilan Empire Selene has already been ordered to leave upon pain of death by the Prime Minister. XD
All these questions, and more, will be answered in the next turn of Battlemaster!
Less than one day after her arrival in the Cagilan Empire, the priestess Selene, missionary of the Far Eastern god Sartan, has been ordered to leave by the Prime Minister upon pain of banishment and execution for crimes which are alleged to include "mocking sacred religions" and "threatening" the established religions in the Cagilan Empire.
What now for the red robed priestess? Why does the judge of the Cagilan Empire seem unaware that she is meant to be banishing Selene? And just how long will it be before Selene is banished from another realm? All these questions, and more, will be answered in the next turn of Battlemaster!
Just sayin', Coria provides religious freedom, though "new" religions have to get approval from our Council...So in other words Coria has a dictatorship of what religion can and cannot have except that once they allow a religion it is irrevocable?
I think it has only ever been revoked (if ever allowed) for MS. Otherwise, preaching and temples are entirely subject to a region lord's wishes, but you are free to practice any religion. Ravendon's still a member of the Horgr of Makar. I think there's still a temple in Anfalas and... Nazia? We don't have priests in Coria often, so I don't think lords are too strict on it. (With the exception of Kressara who is doing crazy things again.)So if preaching and temples is up to the region lord, what does the council decide.

Unless the Church of Sartan already exists on Atamara, won't it need to be "founded"? I've never actually checked, but I didn't think religions persisted across continents.That is correct. There is no game support for cross-continent religions. If you want to found the same religion on multiple continents, you start from Square One on each new continent.
That is correct. There is no game support for cross-continent religions.

Yeah. The religion would need to be founded on AT. Which is why Selene sent a letter to the senate when she arrived asking a) where there was a vacant estate, b) if any lord would be willing to allow the Church to be founded in their lands and c) if the senate would give permission for it to be founded.
One person did offer to let her do it provided it was a Church of Ibladesh rather than a Church of Sartan alone but she's being kicked out before she has a chance to take up that offer though :(
Next stop Carelia! ;)
Haven't received any final decision though in CE, although doesn't look that good. There is any support in Carelia?If she converts my priest I doubt anyone else will be willing to become priest of Evgenism and it will die, quickly replaced by church of Sartan which I am sure will have support due to the values of the religion quite similar to the values of Carelia, IMO.
Just execute her before she tries to eat all the Cagilan babies. It will happen, mark my words.
Minas Ithil's destruction is not yet assured.
...so they get their asses kicked
But then they elected you and made it official :P
If only they knew... :P
I honestly have no idea of if it'll have any impacts though, to be serious. I got elected King, and I don't know the first thing about my realm or anyone else's. AT was never my thing. Maybe it'll allow for some creative thinking, though... I've got no feelings towards anyone, I'm open to absolutely everything. :P
I actually do feel pretty bad that Ravendon can't help. I'm curious how it is to play with a Chenier; I've heard so much. :P
Its kind of like playing with a Silverfire. Better to not want it to happen.SadlyI have only played with his "nice" character.
;-)
SadlyI have only played with his "nice" character.
In the spring of our love, Silverfire was nice to me....
Now he's an evil, plotting bastard.
I have a nice character?I was referring to Chenier though Marco considers you nice.
Oh...wait, of course I do! They're all nice obviously.
SadlyI have only played with his "nice" character.
My most hated guys are usually rather loved back at home, it's the foreigners who hate them.
For one of my characters this is true. For the other its the exact opposite.

Now he's an evil, plotting bastard.
Now? You mean always. :) He corrupted me! I always thought I'd never get more involved with BM than military planning and strategy... I so funny.
CE is voting to determine legality of Sartan right now. In a week or so you should have your answer, but it seems my character is the only one that cares to grill yours about it. Technically, if CE determines it to be legal, Ecuo is likely to found it. Don't rush to Carelia just yet!
Minas Ithil troops cheer as they scatter the last remaining forces of Minas Leon's failed siege on their capital, and couldn't help but notice that Minas Leon's King had cowardly turned his back on his forces and had fled back to his city instead of joining his peers in the attack.
Yeah, our entire army. And all two of our siege engines...
Since MI elected a Chénier, we are invincible! ;D
No, more like you're just the carrier of some unknown disease that makes armies very incompetent.

That was fast:Just saying, that was the CE scum that chased you down, not a Carelian.
You were attacked! (just in)
personal message
As you go to bed, you spot a dark figure hiding in the shadows. No sooner have you drawn your sword and readied yourself for combat, as the infiltrator attacks.
The attacker cuts through your defenses, and sinks the blade into your body twice before running away, seriously wounding you.
The guards are unable to prevent the attacker's escape.
BREAKING NEWS: Selene has just been stabbed less than ten minutes after joining Carelia. Surely a new world record?
Just saying, that was the CE scum that chased you down, not a Carelian.
Ooh, were they caught?Not caught and it is no longer 100% certain it was the Cagilian scum but you do have one Carelian infiltrator that hates you already because he told me he would have but was not in the region to do so.
Either way, I didn't think it was likely anyone other than the Cagilan Empire or family enemies. Selene hasn't had a chance to piss off any Carelians yet :p

Great. It's always good to know you have pre-prepared enemies on your arrival in a new place - saves you the trouble of having to make any ;)
Great. It's always good to know you have pre-prepared enemies on your arrival in a new place - saves you the trouble of having to make any ;)Seems he might not have been an enemy per say. This was quite an interesting situation, that has given my character something to pursue though it will be quite difficult to find out about. As to who stabbed you, I am rather sure of who it was but that you will have to find out in due time, or more likely, you won't.
We now have Lyonesse. How do you call their nation? Lyonese? Leonese? See where this is going?

The realm of Darka has elected Kostaja Kosunen Cosula as its new King.
In what many are saying is the worst plan that has ever been hatched in the Frozen North, Ender, Executioner of the Barony and Duke of Makar, has announced that he no longer gets along with Sordnaz and wants his own realm. He plans to accomplish this strange goal by halving the Barony to make one. Mick, General of the Barony, has offered to remove Ender's head for fear that he's either gone utterly mad or is entirely too sober to keep on living.
Early rune forecasts by the hermits in the woods near Sordnaz's palace are saying that if anything is to split in the next couple of days it will be Ender's skull and not the Barony.
Good job Kerwin! You're getting a medal after this is all over. ;D

Think about all the benefits of living in the Frozen North:
+ Free life-time supply of slushies and other icy treats!
+ Skiing! Snowboarding! Yeti wrestling!
+ The Vikings are drunk, pliable, and complacent. There would be no pesky nobles plotting your downfall from within your own realm.
And that's not all!
You get life-time immunity from CE! Seriously. It's too far away and too cold. The last time Enri marched up there half of hislaser bearstroops froze to death.
In an attempt to reverse Dread Lord Ender Neill's creation of a new realm, former Barony of Makar General Mick the Slasher Mugurk challenged him to a duel. Mick the Slasher was slain and Ender was seriously wounded. Witnesses say the fight was quite the spectacle and enjoyed the copious amounts of blood. One passerby is said to have painted a new sign with the freeflowing blood. When asked, he was uncertain which noble's blood was on the sign, but he plans to claim both for marketing reasons.
Fun fact: Dread Lord Ender is 92 years old, Mick the Slasher was 28 when he met his untimely death...

Just wondering, what are everybody's thoughts on these as far as their IG application goes? Are they strictly OOC for FB (regardless of how they're written) or are the more IC sounding ones (that is, not the generated IG messages about a realm being formed, etc.) fair game for use IG?

I would consider FB more like a newspaper or gossip center. Posts have been news reports, out right lies, propaganda.. stuff that you would likely hear in a tavern.
Yes, i currently used something of the forum as RP material i played that my character heard it from a contact. But i can no longer use these things for RP?
You can.
Anything that you read on the forum (or elsewhere) that would or should be public knowledge, there is absolutely no reason not to use IC in whatever way you want.
If you gain OOC knowledge of things that would not, under ordinary circumstances, have been made public, using them IC in any way is ethically questionable, and you should not do it. However, you will not be punished for doing so.
And, as should be obvious, the more important the information, the more important it is to have a legitimate IC channel for obtaining it.
Kerwin already rolled over. ;)

If Kerwin was dead, he would be rolling over right now.
Sadly my character Blade did not really get a chance to refuse. Lyonesse had already agreed and Eston was staying behind. Also they had to prove not to support Kerwin his actions since many other realms blamed Eston for Kerwin not leaving the Island.
Pah, the Vikings of the North deserve what they get. This is the price of abandoning your allies, the realms that take their place aren't your allies.

Ender, I think he's talking about MI.
So... are Darka and Heorot the ONLY realms not associated/allied with the Cagilan bloc now? On the entire Island?Pretty much.
Pretty much.
CE is directly allied with:
Coria
Minas Leon
Rieleston
Strombran
Suville
Talerium
Tara (Federation)
And allied-by-association to:
Caergoth (via both Minas Leon and Tara)
Carelia (via Tara, and again via Caergoth)
Eston (via Rieleston)
Lyonesse (via Rieleston) (Eston and Lyonesse are also allied)
This leaves only:
Barony of Makar (at war with CE, Coria, Strombran, and Tara) - has only 4 regions left
Heorot (at war with Eston and Tara) - formed out of Barony regions
Darka (at war with CE, Coria, Strombran, and Tara)
So... yeah.
Pretty much.
What do you guys do when it's over? Tea parties?
That's really quite a feat though as long as it holds together.

Yes, yes it is. As soon as BoM split, Darka lost the war.Correct me if I am wrong, but BoM wasn't even helping Darka in battle AFAIK. That and if Darka's noble count continues to rise, so will there military capabilities (cs numbers). Darka has gained 16 active characters since January so they now have 76, only 2 less than CE. (The statistics definition of active characters.)

Oh heck yes. Give us a cross-island invasion fleet, and I'm pretty sure CE can convince Darka and Heorot to join forces and invade Dwilight. After all, why fight a losing war when you can go loot some poor sap who's weaker than you?
We'll even let you pick whether we attack Aurvandil or SA. Are you listening dev team? ;D

Is Atamara always so quiet in the ruler's channel during a war or does the whole of Atamara just not care? Over half the war declarations against Heorot have gone without anyone bothering to even say why they're doing it.
I figured having a ruler on Atamara for the first time would be a bit more exciting than this, but its turning out to be not a whole lot different than just playing with a bunch of quiet players in the Barony.

Yeah, Atamara is an awful, awful island to be a ruler on. They're all so old and jaded that most of them aren't especially active anymore, so they don't generally bother to say anything beyond what's absolutely necessary. All the important things are decided in private conversations well before something like a declaration of war actually takes place, so once it gets to that point there's nothing that needs to be said; everyone already knows where they stand, so the kind of grandstanding you might want to do on other islands to affect the opinion of neutral realms is almost entirely unnecessary. On Atamara, everyone already knows who's on who's side when the war starts. There are no neutral realms.

NOT TO BE POSTED, but add to that two highly-opinionated Dukes with major Agendas (note the capital A) and you've got me in the position of Ruler of Coria. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! It's cool, though, I've been playing my cards acceptably so far. Not perfect, but better than expected.
Atamara was more fun when Kerwin was still a ruler.
Though I may be biased. 8)
This will either lead to a lot of excellent Viking parties or the downfall of Atamara as we know it.
Peasants in the region continue to be baffled at the Darkan nobles' explanation that they need to attack Corian lands in order to damage CE as a realm. Many peasants had moved to Coria at the beginning of the war in order to avoid the devastation that Darka had promised on CE, but ended up being burned out of the new homes that they had just moved in to make.
Then again, they are just peasants and don't understand the ways of those higher beings who call themselves noble.
Well, Coria is at war with Darka, what they expect? They attack us, but we dont attack them?
Yes and Darka has offered that it is ready to end war, yet Coria still keeps attacking on us and then wondering why they occasionally see Darkans on their borders.
I'd love to end the war. Just figure out the problem of Coria's allies also accepting an end to the war, and you'll have Coria fall in line real quick."We can't stop, CE won't let us! :("
"We can't stop, CE won't let us! :("
"We can't stop, CE won't let us! :("
There is rumours that Darka & CE is discussing about terms to end The War.Why???!!!!!
I guess both sides are relatively had enough that war, but who knows.... rumours say that there is nothing agreed yet :)
Darka knows, CE cant do much to them... Darka has decent relations with its neighbours, so there is no threat to lose land(other than rogue)... CE has now wasted a LOT gold and efforts and have not yet hurt Darka at all. Then again, Darka cant hurt CE, with luck they could only harm a bit Coria...
So, its war which cant be "win" for now. CE has won the war already... now its only matter how much Darka is willing to lose.
Unfortunately, luck is on your side for the moment as far as hurting Coria goes... But don't try anything, buddy. :P
WTF kind of Ruler says something like that?
Can we get a replacement over hear? I've heard that their Duke is pretty popular with the allies...
One that doesn't fear his enemies. ;)

If you aren't afraid of Darka, the strongest realm on the continent, then you're stupid. Ignoring the capabilities of their army, and their track record of performance is stupid. People don't hold grudges against incompetent realms, because that incompetence prevents them ever creating a situation for a grudge to be formed. Holding a grudge against a powerful realm, is stupid unless you can hold your own against them.
The ONLY reason it is even viable to discuss a war between Coria and Darka is because its not even remotely 1v1.
I have to correct, CE first asked peace :) Back then Darka didnt want to discuss about it alone and wanted to all parties involved to get on discussion. That ended there. CE wanted only Darka out from the war i guess.

Reports from Heorot are telling the tale today of how Dread Lord Ender Neill returned from a Minas Leon prison, grabbed his old Executioner's axe, and dragged Rieleston infiltrator Elroy Anderbliss from his cell and out into the streets of Brackhead. Without waiting for a crowd to truly gather, and too old to care for ceremony, he kicked the man's legs out from under him and chopped his head off.
Onlookers report that the Dread Lord then lifted his axe onto his shoulder, picked up the decapitated head, and walked through the doors of the nearest mead hall where he made the casual announcement that he'd executed the assassin and needed a good drink to celebrate.
Silnaria is attacking Tara and trying to To Menedor. Menedor choosed to change allegiance to Tara as its Landlord couldn't trust Silnarias current ruler. Silnaria has now showed what it has become. Attacking its form ally.

Yes, you are right Silnaria and Tara has not ever been allies. So Silnaria isn't following Corias footsteps in anyway. One thing is sure and you cant twist that. Menedor is under Tara's banner and Silnaria tries to TO it. Don't twist game mechanis bty saying that Tara took those regions. Couple ofLords did choose to change their allegiance to Tara instead of living under Silnaria and that madman. Of course Tara will try to protect those Nobles. I heard a rumour that mindplague is coming from Freakpot.
Nope, opinions are welcome. You'll see other similar posts on Facebook, feel free to post replies on Facebook to "set the record straight" (as others have done with other posts)

BREAKING NEWS FROM TARA, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Silnaria is attacking Tara and trying to takeover Menedor. Menedor chose to change its allegiance to Tara as its lord could not trust Silnaria's current ruler. Silnaria has now shown what it has become, attacking its former ally.
There. Happy now?
Please remember that Zadar is not a native English speaker.
Silnarian officials maintain Tara is ignoring Coria's last wishes and supporting the dissenting minority by holding Silnarian lands captive. At a speech in Shanandoah, Chief Ambassador and General Ravendon noted that Silnaria has no issue with Tara's sheltering of these dissenting nobles, but the lands they took are rightfully Silnarian. He went on to say that the battle in Lothruin was a mistake, having been a Corian region when orders were issued and Silnaria continues to seek peace with Tara, despite their warmongering.
Admittedly, I do often forget that. Though... "former ally" is still 100% wrong, even as propaganda. Tara's never been allied with Silnaria, unless they do accept them as successors... in which case, they are knowingly supporting rebels against Silnaria. It's a paradox. I also wasn't referring to the original post, but Zadar's response to the other OOC dialogue.Thanks for the newspiece, I find them much more enjoyable and I am sure others do too.
I'll play along though:
Just say that you will be only helping them on defensive purposes (Not that Coria has very much participated on offencive operations).
If CE would be alone, i bet they would be growing tired of this thing faster.
KK really wants to retire... but he cant retire when he has brought Darka to edge of existence... he need first end this war.

Message sent to the Rulers of Atamara (15 recipients)
Rulers of Atamara,
The greatest threat to any realm is the loss of its sovereignty. Over the past weeks since the foundation of Silnaria, the Tyranny of Tara has endeavored to deprive Silnaria of its sovereign rights as an independent sovereign realm. They have interfered in an internal civil war between Silnaria and Coria, occupied our lands, sought to commit regicide, lain siege to two of Silnaria's cities and cut our realm in half with their armies, and finally began an invasion of our lands through the taking and refusal to return nearly 25% of our realm's lands. Even now, while Dictator has publicly claimed to denounce assassin attacks upon rulers, he shelters an assassin who did just that within his realm while welcoming him with open arms.
Just over 7 days and 9 hours ago, I issued a statement that Silnaria would not simply allow a realm to deprive us of our sovereignty simply because they are stronger than us, and have the military force to defeat us on the battlefield. All of the above grievances are each individually a rightful reason to fight a war in our defense, but through the combined weight of these assaults, it is readily apparent that Tara has already declared war on Silnaria and is in the process of carrying out that war through multiple means.
I asked that Tara stop interfering our internal conflict and return the lands which they hold no claim to within 7 days or it would be seen as an act of war. I even offered to delay such a demand if I received even a single communication seeking a diplomatic solution to the conflict. I have received zero correspondence from any representative of Tara seeking to end this situation peacefully and no action has been taken to rectify the problem.
As such, it is with great regret, but with much fortitude that I am forced to recognize that Tara declared war on Silnaria long ago, and is intentionally using the lack of an official war declaration as a means of preventing us from defending ourselves from their attacks. Therefore, Silnaria officially recognizes the state of war that already exists between the realms of Silnaria and Tara. Silnaria will continue to fight until our regions are returned to us, and measures put in place to prevent Tara from using its status as a large and powerful realm to simply override the sovereignty of the weak. This war could easily end tomorrow, all we await is Tara to seek such a reasonable end.
His Majesty,
Merlin Silverfire
King of Silnaria
Duke of Coria
Meanwhile massive anti-war protests are rocking Tara. Concerns about the process by which the extremely addictive amphetamines that have the nation firmly under the tyrannical hand of Ottar are created have caused protesters to begin demanding cleaner, safer Methamphetamine labs... And dentists. Banners were erected all over the rural landscape of Tara, banners like this...

posted, posted, and posted
But if it's a forgery, it's not yours to begin with, so why would there be a need for permission. It's just propaganda.
I'm happy to follow any guidelines agreed upon, just let me know. I do like the extra drama the letters create on FB though.
Finally people in Silnaria have seen the light .
Rebellion in Silnaria (6 hours, 20 minutes ago)
A rebellion is breaking out in Silnaria. Earlier today, Ravendon Ravendon Eirikr has called for an uprising against the current government. Details are still sketchy.
You mean the noble Prince Claudius of Silnaria who was wrongful exiled. How much gold did Gerhardt de Vere give you to wright that lol.
OT, but considering he's the player of Gerhardt, I think it was on the house. ;)
