I feel even more alone in my own thread.

BM General Discussion / Re: How did this happen... made it to the ferry, then got captured?

Something like that. There's nothing special about ferries that would make them magically immune to being captured.

I would have thought that boarding a ferry would make someone more difficult to capture.  Yet I know that the game does not work that way.

I am just trying to imagine what actually happened to my character. So she boarded, got a good captain to go fast, and then got captured anyway, but her unit is still on board... or something.  Puzzling, huh?

Can someone help me understand how this happened? 


Travel Report   (1 day, 11 hours ago)
Your ferry is really fast and the captain navigates well. He makes very good way, reducing your travel time by 3 hours.



Captured!   (1 day, 11 hours ago)
You have been spotted and captured by enemy patrols.

East Island / Re: Nivemus vs. Perdan

Can't we just accept that Perdan and Westmoor have a reason to be at war with Nivemus and Sirion, and that the reasons from both sides are legitimate?  The sooner we do that, the sooner we can focus on the damn fun and play in game, in character, instead of on the damn forums. 
BTW, I'm getting bored in Nivemus prison.

Ok, halt. 

I played on Nivemus while it was still at peace with Westmoor, and even back then there was a whole "We hate Westmoor; Jor is an idiot" vibe going on.  So yes, there is a real and legitimately roleplayed reason why they declared war. 

Please stop accusing the people we play with of being random or being poor roleplayers.

Neither my Mag nor my Folke can find anyone to mate with.  :-( Should have been a boy instead.

It sounds like fun, actually. We could have an entire forum dedicated to "suspicious quotes", where people can post letters and forgeries and others can guess if they are real or fake.

Sounds fun.  This should be a metagame.

Also, I was not arguing that Atanamir is right and should destroy Nivemus and own all of its lands... I am saying that the he has a very valid motivation to declare a war against Nivemus, and that his story is a lot more interesting than "hurr hurr give me your lands". 
Let's play now.

Oh, please don't make this ooc.  I've played with all of you and I enjoy the roleplay we build together.  I guess after these many years playing I've just learned that everyone and everyone's character has a different idea of what is right, and what should happen, and what is fair.  And this is why wars start.  Let's just enjoy this and see how things develop instead of turning it into arguments between players.

Gloria, let it be, some people don't know the history, nor do they care.
Heck, a guy spammed in the ruler channel and was talking about Atanamir being King of Old Rancagua. Couldn't be more odd.
The RP of Old Rancagua has been raped, and people pick the best out of it when they need it - and well, when you pick things from others' RP (Haradrim, being heir, etc) don't be surprised when it backfires. They maybe had other plans than you have. Cause some people have this RP for longer than you play BM.
And that's why then people don't understand the RPs, why things happen, and why more things will happen in the future.
First lesson in BM should be to learn history, this way you might be able to predict the future.

Don't worry,  I know enough BM history even when my characters don't.  I do enjoy the narrative of it all when the RP pieces (from past and present, from different people in different realms) are put together, so I am not worried about anything backfiring. 

Honestly I don't plan any RP planned ahead for my character other than gaining enough prestige to become a diplomat and be named Ambassador.

But in the process I expect to see some religious arguments about destiny, humanity (as opposed to elf-ness) and the purpose of war,  leading to increased tension between the Church of Humanity and the Order of the White Tree.

Except he wasn't? 

AFAIK, he totally was Prince of Old Rancagua when he was born...

You want a reason?  A real RP reason? 
Oroya. The White Tree. Being the heir to the kingdom of Old Rancagua and having that taken away from you.

Driscols vs Anarises.  :-D
The rivalry started independently with two of my characters in different continents, and it was not a family thing at first.

I play because I feel great playing here.  I've left the game for a while, but it's the community and the friends I've made here that pull me back.
