Well, that was rather eventful!

My character spent the week in prison...400 messages to read. Many of them rather lengthy too..

You missed quite a bit, such an unfortunate week to stay in prison... We lost Ete City to the Daimons, Valhael Mayhem was appointed as lord of Creasur, Owain took the whole duchy to Riombara, leaving Rosalia with Creasur as the only city and region of the realm (now in control of Valhael), lots of arguing back and forth between those pro-Rosalia and those pro-Owain, Mavia died in a duel against Valhael, Riombara lost Rines to Aletha, the last portal in Rueffilo was closed and now monsters and undead are spawning just everywhere in huge and sheer numbers, likely due to Domina's influence somehow disappearing.

So yeah, you've missed quite a bit 

I'm still on a ship trying to get there....

Come, come to Creasur! But be careful, now there are rogues just everywhere. If Ravyn is captured again, that's going to be very inconvenient.

Finally got my laptop, but it isn't working that fine (seems like overheating stuff) and finals are now coming closer by the day. I might leave it for summer holiday after all, I've got such an amount of undone university business that it's starting to scare me a little. Ah, the bittersweet taste of procrastination...

Yes, what we had was special. So special in fact maybe can send you as our Ambassador maybe?

Oh, hadn't thought of that one. See? Brock's doing a good job there

So many roleplay opportunities...

Training your scout in anti-interrogation techniques.
Your unit really really dislike the scouts who get all the best bread and wine.
Your scout is blind. He really should find another occupation.
There's absolutely nothing happening in the boring ole region except for you and your men, so your scout played private investigator with your soldiers.
He's not really your scout, but a scout sent to get captured and claim he was sent by you, to gain your trust. Your scout was killed and his clothes worn by the imposter.

I think we could consider this one a bug though. Just one of those bugs that 'eh, its kinda amusing to keep around for the rp humour'. Should be an easier one to fix though.

Never said it wasn't a funny one, the first thing I did was sharing it with the realm

Seeing that it's already reported, this thread can be locked as it is. Thanks everyone!

Helpline / Capturing my own scout

« on: April 21, 2016, 11:32:04 PM »

Scout Captured   (just in)
personal message
Your men bring you an enemy scout who was captured while trying to gather information about the region. You can beat out of him that he was sent by Kethan D'Espana, Knight of Shifgrethor, who has his camp in Shifgrethor currently.

So I just wanted to check something. The upper message would seem to be OK, except that I am playing the character Kethan, which means that I captured my own "enemy" scout, I beat out of him that he was sent by me (duh) and thus gained the information that I was in the region that I was. Good news, I guess.

Is this supposed to happen? I'd say it's a bug, but I want confirmation before reporting it.

Maybe the Imperium just needs a D'Espana to keepour RP climate in line. What realm are you in again? We'll come conquer it, and its wine, immediately.

Currently I have Ghaundan's brother in Nivemus, but Brock has been doing a very nice job in keeping him loyal and attached to his figure. I highly doubt Guldor would consider leaving the realm to go anywhere without Brock's blessing, whatever the reason.

Besides, I am still waiting to read Selenia's answer to the only letter I sent her. You're not going to win him like that, you know 

Oh wait. I am sending him over. With wine of course

But... But... I thought what we had was special

Depends on if it's difficult because of the complexity, or difficult because of the vagueness. The former is good, the latter often not.

Then de-vague it already!

So, now that my mother's condition has stabilized and I find myself with the ability to actually play,

Is there any interest in seeing Magnus arise from the ashes as a priest? Or would I be better off joining Fallengard after we war Alara?

Leaving Greater Xavax and the phoenix stuff after the epicness of the RP you just described? Have you lost your mind, good sir?

It's been a surprisingly difficult concept to RP around

Those are usually the best ones.

Err... That would be me, before abdicating the throne, going insane, dropping into a coma, then waking up right after the crazy Isadril pillar of light and RPing as having been somehow awoken by it, with no memory of anything but a burning image of a certain Phoenix...

That's cool. Very

My pleasure, it's only a little return for what you have given us for years.

I might be able to help in two or three weeks too, at least if giving feedback three times a week or so is enough for you. I'll surely be able to play through most turns, but elaborating about them won't be possible everyday. I am currently waiting for my new laptop, once it arrives I'll post once again to see how everything goes.

The Xavax Leadership is basically Selenia wanting to do the thing and Kinsey saying don't do the thing XD

I don't know why,  but I can believe that

You guys are boring. No one is trying to screw with Magnus or steer him in any particular direction as of yet.

To be fair, I've been afk and in the hospital with my mom the last few days. Sorry for re-appearing then promptly disappearing.

Responsibility calls. I've been in the hospital for around 12 hours now. Mom's passed out in her cot and I went and got my laptop from my car, so here I am. Can't sleep... Some crazy druggie is yelling their head off. Ah well.

Perfect chance to write and game.

Anyone interested in Magnus doing the whole priest of the voice of the phoenix thing?

Sorry to read that, Ehndras, I wish you luck with that. I don't know much about Greater Xavax's inner workings, so I'll leave others more informed to speak there.

which makes total sense, and also shows why region descriptions should spend less time droning on about the "rugged hardy peasants" and their economic activities and more on actually establishing a setting, unless you have some genuinely cool and unique ideas for culture in the region

Agreed. Most include at least some sort of reference to a realm or lord, and focus quite less than I would like to on the region itself.

Good brainstorming you two, that is more like what I had in mind. I'll try nonetheless the re-creating maps stuff, but if I do find myself incapable of that I'll very gladly come back and pick up some of those tasks you have mentioned. Nice work!
