Dwilight / Re: Barca
« on: November 17, 2013, 08:20:22 PM »
It's been quite a long time since I had to quit Battlemaster due to my senior thesis, and I'd really like to know how things are going in my beloved Republic of Barca! It's not likely that I'm coming back soon, but every now and then I wonder how things have evolved since I left.

I've just read that Aurvandil fell, did Barca regained some of the southern marches it claimed? Has the number of nobles risen? A map screenshot, please!  ;)

Well, I wouldn't call that winning. You've moved your armies around indeed, but the short control on other regions you've gained has been thanks to betrayal. And as soon you've seen the Zuma approach you've started kicking your asses with your heels  ;) In Barca we were ready for an honourable death defending the walls of our capital, but it's also good to survive.

But yes, you've gotten neutrality with Barca and D'Hara. And it'd be even smoother to have a play thing with Terran after the express war declaration by Asylon and their attack.

A proper Barcan captain, in a Medievocarthaginian fashion  ;D



Good idea though, Glaumring.

That's true. Nevertheless I was talking about the war declaration by Asylon on Terran, almost simultaneous to the alliance between Aurvandil and Asylon. The war declaration places Terran in a delicate situation with two enemies really close. However, being Astrum and Iashalur allies of Terran, I guess they could offer some support in case of a direct threat from Asylon.

Aurvandil's got a really privileged geographical position. Falkirk seems to not be a filter to any attack from the east anymore, and maybe that pushed Aurvandil to seek another diplomatic advantage. I remember I read some time ago that alliances were some kind of dishonourable thing for Aurvandil, but I guess times and necessities change.

It's time for Astrumese to have some fun close to home! I guess things in Iashalur will depend on the resulting government after the rebellion. Soon we'll have to found the "Great Dwilightean War" thread  :D

Questions & Answers / Re: Accusation of "gold hoarding"
« on: March 08, 2013, 10:40:39 AM »
I checked his family page and it surprised me to see it hasn't got a lot of gold. I guess it's because of what Draco Tanos says, since he's been for a long time a non-landed Noble. I guess I'll give him a couple of days or so to reply to the last warn and then he'll get banned for his refusal to reply to requests or orders, as Geronous says.

Thank you for your replies!

Questions & Answers / Accusation of "gold hoarding"
« on: March 07, 2013, 09:38:23 PM »
Hi all,

It's been already 71 days since a character is in Barca, and although he's never been very talkative, he performed the tasks that were ordered to do and sometimes spoke publicly.

However, from several months on he lost his unit (due to neglecting in payment I think) and has not recruited a new one although he was asked for it. It has not been a case of mere inactivity, since we have noticed he has been moving around. In a certain moment he decided to take an estate without consent, and he was asked to give reasons and motivations for that; after a couple of warns he was kicked out of the region. He then moved to another region and took an estate again.

The Ruler has requested back again to give an explanation for this behaviour and recruit a unit but silence has been again his sole reply. A little while before I sent him an ultimatum as Judge, warning him that if he keeps on neglecting these requests "severe measures" will be taken against his actions.

I think this is a clear case of "gold hoarding", the character was investigated by the Ruler and he carries 180 gold coins plus today's tax collection. Would be banishment justified if he fails to reply within a period of 2-3 days?

Thanks.

Do you like challenges? Join Barca to create the "Legion for Barcan Liberation" to help us to fight for freedom against the tyrannical Aurvandilians!  :P

Don't you think these are too recent and tricky matters to be posted here yet?

That's pure fiction, Aurvandil would never march on the lands of the Zuma. Too risky.

And in the case the daemons would fly to kick some asses I bet we'd see the first Aurvandil-Express running directly from Barca to Candiels.

If the Zuma don't make finally a movement it'll be probably thanks to the rivers of ink that are likely running as hell from Aurvandil. It won't be bad for Aurvandil of course, we'll have some kind of truce, maybe even time for D'Hara and Luria Nova to retake the hostilities, and they'll come back to conclude the "Madina Contingency" on the VĂ©insormoot, with more nobles against a weakened and divided Federation.

I think we won't see any "Ave Auziwandilaz, Avance Victorieuse" on the Zuma.

You seem rather bitter over this whole war. Defectors are something that has always happened in war. Some people always put wealth over  loyalty. I think some of the lords honestly think that aurvandil will be more fun to play with. I, for one, would be part of morek right now if I didn't value loyalty.

I have to admit my sense of loyalty is far less pragmatic, I guess I've always seen BM as a more sophisticated browser-game than many others where "fun" is for most of the players much more important than any other consideration. But it's true that playing the villain is very often much funnier than playing the righteous character.

It's not bitterness, but of course some things here have actually pissed me off. I don't like to lose in games, as everyone, but that's part of the game. What I have most criticised is the cocky and ignoble attitude I've seen very often (both IC and OOC) from a realm that puts so much emphasis in all the honourable thing. My bad anyway, characters are not alive but played by plain regular people and it's impossible to separate one from another completely.

Claiming the Lurias are inept is not the same as claiming that D'Hara is brillant.

I never claimed D'Hara had glorious awe-inspiring armies. I just repeatedly claimed that the Lurias' performances were pathetic.

That's definitely the way to get the opposition to Aurvandil divided and lose the war. The Greeks got united to fight the Persians, even Athenians and Spartans!  :D

It's time to prove how you like to fight to the last man standing.

Nope, I didn't. Live today to fight another. And contrarily to your rounds, I checked the realm list before writing; 72 is the current amount after the last deflections. Congratulations, you can be proud to be host of the greatest amount of traitors in Dwilight!

Of course nobody likes to renounce to the government of a region just to keep clean honour. And you are so thirsty of new servants that don't even mind to openly boast about your new acquisitions. I'm sure they'll do fine as long as things go well for Aurvandil.

Diplomatic isolation can be perfectly compensated by fighting just wars you know you can win and so keep happy your realm-mates, I admit you've done a good work there.

Maybe too late for that, they're starting to "go away from playing nice" and the "Madina Contingency" has started.

Crap I lost the duel.  :(
