Did you want me to edit the .csv file? like to change pronsk coour to brown?

Not Pronsk, Bolgar. BOLG tag. But if you haven't done it now then nevermind, postpone it 'til after thesession.
 
Varyar said:
Because kingdom of Bolgar has the same colour as the Seljuks. Bolgar is getting a colour change from yellow to brown.
Which is not needed to change, since it is only a client thingy. It is up to each and every on to do the change, if he wishes to.
 
Well, some people are getting pompously and insultingly overconfident.
 
okay this is the thing now:

We have determined that it is indeed much much MUCH longer to download the save via Valknet then it is to compress, upload, downlaod and extract. So for now on we will all DL the save from ym server, www.zambinidirect.com/vassili

Next, I will unless Lurken and Varyar diagree that there will now be an AAR deadline for Saturday midnight so that I will have enough time to get home from work, make the edits and upload it meaning that everyone will have the save the enxt morning.

Next, me and Germax have made various agreements for our postwar borders assuming we win, being that considering it is impossible given the confines of the game to claim territory, make a fake war and then make peace is next to impossible for all our agreements it will require an edit to do them, which will be done at the end of the war/end of session.

Also, because assuming we win, will be demanding all of Poland's Russian territory it will work this way we will repledge and then he will give me all of his Rus Duke titles, count titles, and whateve rother territory we decide to add on if he drags on the war for an obscene amount of time. And then he will give Pronsk the Kingdom fo Bolgar Titles (there are no other titles POLA can give PRON i checked) and then give me Rus, and then well be independant.

And finalyl there is the county of Syrj or something on the very top right corner of the map that is an independant county so I geuss we dont need to edit for that since I dont think its possible without the rus title for Poland to get it to rejoin Poland.

And that should be it, unless Poland gives count titles to its Rus provs then itll need a forced edit to comply with the treaty.
 
*note* me and pronsk mor or less agreed to guidelines as to what needs to be transfered but hasnt been finalized yet, but all of them will nevertheless require edit of the save file to do.

I would agree, but with one reservation: I think we should try to purge the savefile first and try V-netting with that.

Next, I will unless Lurken and Varyar diagree that there will now be an AAR deadline for Saturday midnight so that I will have enough time to get home from work, make the edits and upload it meaning that everyone will have the save the enxt morning.

I assume that's saturday midnight GMT? Sounds good to me.

At this point I'd say that is fine with me, I don't think the game engine should limit player interaction. But I await comments from other players before giving final approval.

Also, because assuming we win, will be demanding all of Poland's Russian territory it will work this way we will repledge and then he will give me all of his Rus Duke titles, count titles, and whateve rother territory we decide to add on if he drags on the war for an obscene amount of time. And then he will give Pronsk the Kingdom fo Bolgar Titles (there are no other titles POLA can give PRON i checked) and then give me Rus, and then well be independant.

I would like to point out that this should preferably be a voluntary act by Poland as part of a peace treaty.
 
btw lurken we didnt play today so nothing happened to Germany, however nextweek barring the deaths of half our members we're continueing.

Okey, then I know. I thougt that you all played atleast something after I left.
 
Yarg, because of the absurdity of this session its unfortunate we'll have so few AAR's luckily for me I still havent caught up to our present time yet so I can actually write something.
 
can I write an AAR about my 1 year that didn't happen as King of Naples? :rolleyes:

will Sander be coming back? I think I'd much rather play as Naples than Italy...

I'm still not sure how regularly I'll be able to play so I might need to just be a super-sub

Neither have I. I actually dodged two chapters just to be able to post an introduction to the war :D

BTW, for next session I suggest that if we lack any important players, we immediately play the small version of the war, with Poland vs. Kiev, Pronsk, Norway & France. I don't remember whose idea that was but it was a bloody good idea.

Oh and Sid, do you have ck-clean or ck-purge or any of those programs that reduces save file sizes? It would benefit the game a lot if we could get back to smaller saves.

King spends one year planning for war and is suddenly abducted by aliens with time machines? Works for me :D

Probably, but judging by experience some else will be missing instead so worry not!

I'm still not sure how regularly I'll be able to play so I might need to just be a super-sub

As yesterday proved, we need those as well :)

I would say it is "somewhat" faster under normal conditions. But as we have seen in our recent sessions all this can get really messy which in turn results in an even longer delay than dl via vnet.

While I agree that the game mechanics shouldnt restrict players in their options I dont really like that kind of "fake" wars. This "these-are-mine-and-these-are-yours-mentality" does more fit into an EU seeting than into high medieval times with personal oath of fealty etc. On the other side there is no way to prevent "fake" wars as players could always do this secretly.

I dont know if I understand this correctly. You want POL to give up a claims outside the game mechanics? This is something we definately need to clarify as our houserules are rather vague on this.

If you control 100% of your enemy's demesne you can force peace on the other player. This is a given I assume. However, whether this should exceed the ingame peace deal options regarding titles and territory I am not really sure. For example, by this procedure you could happily win a lot new territory whithin a short span of time without investing the normally needed prestige. And as this entire prestige thing is ment to limit turbo exchanging titles and territory I fear this procedure is somewhat counter-productive.

I got the impression that it isn't a "forced rule", or a rule at all, but rather a matter of having the polish player go "well I'm beaten, let's end this crap" and willingly give out those titles for peace, and if not the war simply continues until either claims have been made or all necessary vassals break free or so.
 
and quite frankly I have serious doubts about the world being able to continue the war for... 30 years? Thats how long I calculated for me to be able to ge enough prestige to claim, Rostov, King of Rus, and some of the other small ones.

I would assume that Poland would grow tired of playing 2-3 sessions straight being able to do nothing but watch his country get hammered, if the war itself is lost.
 
How does it look for everyone this sunday? Can everyone play as it is now?

I don't know really, it bothers me that so much happening IRL on Sundays nowadays.

If I miss next session which I probably will, I may have to quit this game...
 
I'll be here on sunday unless my computer breaks down or such.

We need all the players we can get, so don't drop out just because you feel you can't be here every sunday. Be an occasional player, if it works out better with your real life.

Yup, this is CK, a game where your realm isn't that damaged if run by AI, besides, you could always sub, if anything else.
