Reviving the South

[De-Legro]

All because they exist doesn't mean Tom necessarily wants them in the game, or would appreciate the concept spreading further. Just tells me it doesn't annoy him enough to do something about. The issue was always that Tom didn't consider pirate activities suitable for his vision of nobility in the time frame.

It goes almost hand-in-hand with the fact that no matter how many times it's stated that (rogue) should be the least desirable position for any character, be it noble or commoner, still there is no small number of players who appear to think it is "awesome" or something.

[De-Legro]

True, and the constant request that we be allowed to play in rogue bandit realms. Unless Tom wants to punish any infringement against his "vision", its up to the players to either support his position, or ignore them I guess.

Aren't Pirates on the list of things Tom really doesn't want to see in the game?

Tom never had a problem with Batesaor before.  To be honest, PoZ and Batesaor were two of the coolest concepts of the nascent FEI.  Arcaea was rather vanilla and boring.  Funny how things have played out.

I'm not going to rule it out if we get really bored, but I've never really been happy with Batesaor being called the 'Pirate City,' simply because most people when they think of pirates tend to think of something non-medieval.  If I can get people thinking of the pirates of Batesaor in a different way, then . . . well, perhaps.  Maybe after the semester is over I'll have enough time for the RP on it.

Though there is the issue that the Duke of Batesaor is also probably the most loyal Zonasan after the Regent.  But we are getting kinda bored, so you never know. . . .

I think this rebellion might revive things a bit...

[Hyral]

Nah. The south was on the move before, now with the rebels probably less so. You can't tell me you aren't pleased by that ;p

[Bedwyr]

 

It's possible I am...But I have a feeling the south is going to be much more lively in the long run without Ziode on the throne.

[Hyral]

Not to give too much away, but, liveliness really doesn't seem to be what the rebels want. I'm kind of confused, actually. I've never seen a rebellion in favor of becoming *less* active.

Jenred and James, controlling the souls of our dukes. Curse you!

[Bedwyr]

Not to give too much away, but if you think people that Jenred influences are going to be staying at peace for any period of time, then you clearly do not know Jenred as well as you might think.

He's like Sosuke Aizen without the zanpakto or the hogyouku. /me should probably stop watching that anime now...

[Hyral]

It's more along the lines of too many people in Kindara being loyal to their old realms. We're made of a lot of realms, so if everyone has their way, we'll never fight anyone. Of course, some people have no intention of letting everyone have their way >.>

And yes, Artemesia, he's a bit like that. Except in BM no one is surprised when their strongest attacks fail and Jenred saunters out of the rubble unscathed  :p

Well, sometime soon Kindara will have to pick a side...Or effectively pick the winning side by not choosing.

No idea who that is, and I don't think there's been a single conflict Jenred's emerged from unscathed...And besides, he's only been the big man on the island since Soliferum fell!

That's because Jenred doesn't have the imba gear.

I'm fairly certain they had picked a side . . . then the rebellion happened, which as far as I know, puts things back to square one as far as diplomacy.
