If we are both weak then there will be no recovery. A strong Fronen insures that Old Grehk survives. If your lands are left to fester and rot more rogues will rise and assail your realm. We can hold and maintain them, you clearly cannot. We are doing us both a favour, feeding Fronen and making sure that the monsters that spring up in those regions are taken care of. Deal with defending what you can. It is quite clear that Old Grehk can do nothing more than complain on the forums or in the ruler channel regarding the situation instead of actually doing something to reverse the problems assailing its own realm.

Why not just consolidate in the south away from the people who dislike you? Ivory Vale's former territories look awfully cozy.

I dont know where youre getting that notion from. "a strong Fronen ensures OG survives" we havent seen a single Fronish troop help fight monsters or undead in Old Grehk lands. It seems Fronen's strategy is to just hoard gold and sit in their capital between invasions and then take advantage of weakened realms who have actually been contributing to the atmosphere on Beluaterra.

Uhm... no, no it isn't. Not by a long shot. In fact, it's the lack of people supporting moves like this on the realm level that is an issue. More people should do not nice things, rather than playing up the whole white knight "honor" spiel.

Depends on your view. Rogue regions spawn more rogue troops, so when there are less rogue regions in your area, your troubles are less. In that sense Fronen is in fact assisting OG.

In the meantime, the Netherworld just succesfully assaulted Creasur and will start a TO. What will Fronen do now :p

Several of the more recent ones:

Monsters I fight,
To prove my might,
Oh what luck,
Now I'm poor,
Zebbart does suck,
More gold, more.


The stingy Zebbart,
Smells of fart,
Under the full moon,
He makes love to a loon,
Because he is so hideous,
And the peasants aren't fastideous.


"Gold hoarder Zebbart the banker of Fronen
has more gold than anyone,
All us poor Knights have none
Gold hoarder Zebbart big bad banker of Fronen
Has more gold than all of Fronen
He does what he wishes with our riches"

I heard people singing this the other day in Zuhle.

I think that is a rather odd thing to say considering that under my rule Fronen has forged alliances with kingdoms fighting the Daimons. I am not sure how things were before in Fronen but I have done pretty solid work in stabilizing the kingdom and preparing it for this type of invasion and forging alliances. Gundammerc says its 'boring' playing the white knight but thats exactly what Akrogath Apasurain is compared to my other characters, he's the good guy and completely opposite to Glaumring and Sundar who are chaotic and or pure evil. I am finding it a fun challenge playing the good guy for a change. And our realm is doing well.

Yes, I got the worse letters ever from that character.
And with worse i mean in every way, not just because of the terrible spelling.
Negotiations about Vozesdor felt like discussing philosophy with a salmon which had some how managed to learn a few words, but suffered from brain trauma after only just escaping a bear attack.

But at least she does something, her General is far worse, doesn't even respond at all to anything.

All of the nobles that got booted all suffered from the same level of terrible English.  Give us some time to get things back in order, we are currently getting all our new and active nobles elected to positions etc no matter the experience level we accept anyone to help run the republic. Anything to get the stench of the old guard and multi-accounters out of the realm.

I've sort suspected there were multi-accounts for some time in Fronen but really didn't know what to do beyond IG measures like pushing them out of power when I could or replacing them as Dukes etc, but what would happen is that their multi's would then start privately and public protesting or demanding their positions back etc, so it would push out the newer Lord etc and create a type of deadlock in the kingdom. I eventually left for a month and played elsewhere and then came back and found that the problem was even larger and then the GM's finally locked a bunch of accounts. Was pretty happy except for the part that our kingdom is on auto-pilot until we can remove them.

Post by: Anaris on April 28, 2017, 10:07:06 PM
The answer to "what should I do if I suspect multis?" is always, "Contact the Titans."

The Titans will either be able to tell that they (almost) certainly aren't (in which case you just have to live with whatever they're doing), they'll be able to tell that they (almost) certainly are (in which case they'll be locked), or they won't have enough information, in which case they'll generally let you know and continue to monitor the situation, waiting for enough of a pattern to develop to be able to lock them. Or, as sometimes happens, not.

I have taken the liberty of pausing the characters on the accounts that have been locked (they didn't even bother to try appealing).

That should make protests by the remaining active nobles more effective.

Yeahhhh at least we have elections for Doge again next month. Somehow he managed to snag it without even campaigning. Must have either sent private messages to get support or people don't care and just vote for the person with the highest rank.

At least this means our General will be a Blackthorn in a few days. It's kind of a game of musical chairs in Fronen right now.

perhaps he'll be fine, atleast he cant be worse then Leoline.
My personal experience was that he wasn't vocal at all and didnt respond to any messages as General of Fronen for quite a long period of time.
Leoline even told us generals not to contact him but her instead in order to coordinate or communicate making me wonder why she didnt just absorb the title instead of having some silent puppet in that position.

If theres one thing in BM i hate it's characters in game determining positions who dont do !@#$, it stagnates or ruins the game for others.
Some players see positions itself as the goal of the game, while i believe it should be seen as ways to achieve goals instead.
I'd rather see a new player with no skill at all in these positions, instead of someone who just keeps silent ignoring the game altogether.
The only way for new players to learn is to be included in what those people do and get a chance to do it themselves.
If nothing is shared or worse, nothing is done, no one can learn anything nor experience the game to its full extend.
Stagnated characters in these kind of positions can really hurt the game in fact, but unfortunately its always been part of BM.
We can do something, not much, about it by putting our own characters at risk though, but not many are willing to do that.
And then there are also positions that cant be protested out, like Dukes or Margraves, a ruler can exile them, but that might only work if the ruler has more honor then the exiled noble.

Being active and being motivated are two different things. Fronen needs some new flair! The realm has been rather stagnant up until now (partly due to the multis) and it's the perfect opportunity to push the realm in a new direction of some sort. Instead, I feel as though we will continue the same sluggish routine as always. Since becoming Ruler I've heard little from Bastian. He hasn't mentioned anything in the Senate and hasn't treated Fronen like an actual Republic.

It's boring. In the past two days the only two players have sent public messages. There are 23 nobles in Fronen. Something needs to change. Time to start playing a more radicalized character, me thinks. Stir things up.

Post by: Graeth on May 11, 2017, 01:32:19 AM
It was alright when Glaumring was king. I left after the multis staged a coup. It seems the realm went pretty dark after that. I'm willing to give Moore a chance, but the fact that he was the only government official not part of the multi before they got booted makes me a little hesitant. Some of the people running against him are rather new and might stand a good chance of getting elected if they can start campaigning now and get people used to them.

It might just be luck (and probably 100% my perspective), but between Fronen post-coup and the going ons of East continent, it seems to me that battlemaster is in its first upswing since deleting the active half of Dwilight and consolidating the islands.

While I would definitely say a large part of BM experience is perspective (so, if you dont like a place, try somewhere else!), the player decline trend stopped in July 2016 after implementing the island closures. Since then, the trend has been either flat or slightly increasing. Closing West Dwilight was definitely a mistake and one I wish I could undo, but alas, I lack time travel. The lessons learned from that mistake informed the island closure and subsequent decisions.

At this point it is what it is, though as one of the founders of Asylon I'll never stop carrying the torch! I was bummed out after, but the rekindling of South island and shake-ups elsewhere due to island mergers seem to be paying off.

As much trouble as we are and for all the headaches we've caused the admins over the years, I really got to say that we all love BM dearly for all its massive faults. Its a great game with great intrigue etc, I really wish there was more care poured into its development. BM is a gem, its really one of the best games out there in its ridiculously simple way.

As for Fronen, between battling Daimons and infighting with multi accounts... Well we have been rather insular and focused on merely surviving as of late. I think we have done a great job of standing against some pretty !@#$ty odds. I am proud of the realm and for all its faults enjoy the lucky happenstance that afforded me the time to randomly win an election and rule it for a time.  We will continue to grow and do things our way

Post by: Vita` on May 11, 2017, 07:27:46 AM
I don't feel troubled by anyone except the multicheats. Anyone can contribute to its development, so long as they know what they're doing, at least. The developers are just players who volunteer their time to help with the code. So just as BM's playerbase has decreased, the volunteers contributing, and the potential pool of new volunteers, have decreased.

Aye, I was in touch with Delvin a couple months ago when I rejoined the game about helping reorganize and add the to wiki. Except I couldn't get IRC to work on my damn laptop. Kept getting booted off again and again due to "This nickname is already in use". I tried soooo many nicknames. Then I got a new job and RL started to kick in..

But I'll be returning back to the States soon. I will have more free time then and I plan to talk to you, Vita, about rewriting and shifting around the introduction to the game for new players on the wiki. BM has brought me a lot of enjoyment over the years and I definitely want to give back to the game and those who invest their time into keeping the game going.

As for Fronen, it will be an interesting next few months. I really hope the 6th invasion will end soon so we can focus on rebuilding and have human vs human battles. I've always loved playing on Beluaterra but never for the invasions.

Mixed feelings!

I think most humans have already realized we're in the tail stages of the Invasion, even if the daimons are still causing trouble. I'm also not as actively-engaged in the roleplaying or the military as I was earlier.

However, the daimon worshipers also provide an interesting roleplaying dynamic many players enjoy. And there's been other post-invasions where daimons have quietly survived in a corner without constantly re-invading human lands, while humans warred one another. So I am somewhat tempted to keep a barely-minimal presence just to protect the Worshipers post-invasion. Originally, it had been a goal to leave the Worshipers and Humans/Liars on an equal footing, but well...Anyway, its not entirely my decision either, as the source of daimonic power is influenced by players.

So daimonic power dwindles, but daimonic doom surprises have not disappeared quite yet.

Where going totally off topic here.

I understand there always has been some kind of mechanic behind the daimons and they also required a limited amount of resources like gold or food, but then something entirely different.
But what exactly, I never really understood from just looking how they're played(which is actually what makes them so special and exciting).
Perhaps it also changed per invasion?

The daimon worshipers thing is pretty cool and can stay on, if they go underground to survive now, evolve into a secret society (if they havent already) and influence the continent from there in favor of the daimons, prepare the world for their next coming in secret.
Their temples stretch far and wide (outside of human realms) but will all be destroyed eventually.
None of the human realms seem to want to negotiate with daimon worshipers, nor the other way around really.

Maybe some more realms could have been flipped if the Daimons extended their partnership before sending massive doomstacks of daimons and edgy commanders saying "We're going to kill you all and boil your flesh". I still want to know how it started in Spearhold.

Yes indeed there are, Gotland placed a few herds of the fattest goats on the border with Firbalt.
Come daimon, daimon, come to daddy.

Ps, if your realm ever gets boring: there is always Go(a)tland! ;)
Fun guaranteed.

Well, he can, sure.

But why should he? ;D

Because turning our swords into spaghetti noodles randomly without any role-play messages is mean, he could at least recite some daimon poetry while frolicking throughout our lands all willy-nilly. He even managed to teleport himself in and get arrested by guards. >:(

Please, teleport us to Dwilight. Maybe it will spur some chatter from the 15 or so nobles who never say a word.

After Fronen lost General Ingram, things looked like they might fall apart. Fronen is on stable footing for now though. May Doge Nyx lead with a wise mind.

Its definitely more fun than it used to be. I think really focusing on building an actual republic over a sort of vague one has helped keeping everyone active.  I am trying my best to keep everyone in the know and spreading info for everyone.

This is the kind of thing that every ruler should be doing tbh. You're awesome and exemplary for actually doing it.

Generating activity and engagement can be hard but once you've put the effort in it becomes pretty self-perpetuating and repays the initial effort many times over in terms of a stronger realm and a better game for everyone :)

Things seem to be heating up continent wide as well. Fronen's in an interesting place out of the nations, though its also in a place ala the Riverlands where it could be torn violently apart. Diplomacy favors the Republic.
