696 archers shot at the guy, inflicting 6,584 hits.

Hah, is that even physically possible? As in, is there enough surface area on the human body for 6584 arrows to hit?

...that's not a horrible idea. Allowing the Sponsor and/or Marshal to choose exactly what the war chest gets used for.

I'm going to watch what I say this time around so I don't get constant Mod warnings for insults, negativity and having a bad attitude! YOLO!

That's a very good idea, Kai. Glad to see you've changed your attitude in your months away from the forums. It's very encouraging.

Have you tried doing it with 16 hours each time, instead? The amount of time you spend is a significant factor.

16 may be a bit beyond him as he is not a priest, but we'll give 12 a go. Tried twice with 12 hours so far with the same result. Will keep you updated.

Really? I hadn't thought of that. If that is the case it changes things, although then it begs the other question as to why weeks of effort from an expert Diplomat has accomplished virtually nothing. I don't believe there's anyone working against him.

Yes, it's an allied realm.

Is it possible that another diplomat is quietly undoing your work?

I don't think so, but would that make a difference anyway? The issue is not that the diplomatic actions as a whole are having little effect (although that is also the case), but that each individual attempt is failing. Whatever dice roll is used to determine if the specific diplomatic action succeeds (or at least has a greater effect than the worst possible result) is failing every time.

Helpline / Constant diplomatic "praise realm" fails

« on: May 26, 2014, 04:05:30 AM »

My 80+ Oratory (98 on the Skills fame page) Diplomat has been attempting to raise his city's sympathy to another realm to get rid of the "Peasants complain about alliance with X" message. He's tried some two dozen times in the last three weeks, with varying numbers of hours between 4 and 10. Every single attempt has had the "They seem unimpressed" result, even with the "silver tongue" message coming up. The peasants hated the other realm, true, but it still seems like an awful number of fails for a Diplomat with a very high skill level.

is this normal?

BM General Discussion / Re: East Continent OOC/Titans Issue

Then and even when i could have messed with some of the IR (subject to interpretation) the real motive would be different than what the IR was created and that is preserve the OOC fun.

Out of curiosity, how does OOC attacking people and, essentially, calling them cowards for reporting you preserve OOC fun? Because from what's been said here, that's what you got the one day lock for, not the IR issues.

Letter from Ryu Hinamoto   (24 days, 3 hours ago)
Message sent to everyone in message group "General Staff" (13 recipients)

Units with less than 300 CS or less than 20 man should preset travels to Sirion city and recruit the maximum they can.

Also, we have huge amounts of archers... we need marshals to ask the people if they would switch to infantry. (OOC: remember that we cant order that because it messes with the IR.)

    In arms,
    Ryu Hinamoto
    Royal of Sirion
    Duke of Karbala
    Margrave of Karbala

I've seen this message bandied about a few times now. Ever stop to consider that perhaps this wasn't the message the Titans were referring to? Or at least not the only message?
