Well I guess opposition to my being Ascalon has passed. I guess I will join the Diplomacy thread and reveal my intentions.


Edit:But after the Spurs game. ;)

Pfft, it most certainly has not passed. I still think it is a ridiculous idea that does nothing for game balance. I oppose it completely and absolutely.
 
Sterk, After I blew up my pc and missed a session, the AI revassalized herself to France and also yielded all claims she had. We didnt edit that as Flanders was still in a good position to play.

If the AI had totally screwed you up I would be more then happy to edit in/out everything needed. As it stands now, I'd just like to congradulate Piast on his vast wisdom, to be called a grey imminence on your 16th birthday is a great honour indeed.
 
Leto, if the game could handle a lot more players still, you could be the Duke of Iceland for all I care. As it is, we are reaching our maximum of players, I'd prefer you'd rule a gameballancing faction, like the ones mentioned already.

I don't like forcing people to play a certain country, so choose Ascalon if you wish, just dont complain if you are shortlived and without friends (this not being an fps, people tend to not want to fight for hopeless causes against overwhelming odds)
 
For the person being chided not to whine I seem to be doing the least of it.....
 
Folks,

It seems that some players are having trouble with Vnet, so we will meet on ICQ. See you there. We will use Internet Direct IP for this session.

Weekly Game Update


We played at Slow for most of the game with 10 players. We played from October 17, 1120 to January 15 1128.

The players this session:
  • KoM - King of Norway
  • Sterkarm - King of Poland
  • Lurken - King of Castille
  • Capitan - King of Hungary
  • Traveler - King of Naples
  • Kle - King of Rus
  • Blackeye - King of Byzantium
  • Workgroup - King of England
  • Lotus Lo - King of Jerusalem
  • Prime - Duke of Flanders

We had 7 game stops. I’ll list the causes for each stop that I had a reason for:
  • Kle claimed the title of Rus, caused a crash
  • We stopped to p/u Sterk, who was late
  • WG crashed, not sure why
  • Lotus dropped, router problem
  • Sterk dropped, due to power outage
  • Blackeye dropped, not sure why
  • We stopped to p/u Sterk, who’s power was back on
  • and finally KoM dropped, not sure why- -this is where we stopped for this session- -

Not bad for having 10 players. Again, I look forward to seeing posts in the Diplomacy as well as the AAR threads. Had fun, till next weekend, take care.

Yep good session though had to wait almost 1 hour for ppl to show up...

By the way, we should have 1-3 new independent kingdoms next session, Bulgar(confirmed), Cuman(not sure) and Georgia(Up to sterk)
So, I guess LordLeto could pick one of them?
 
Agree with Capitan, please post if you are no-show.

About Lord Leto : Too bad you couldn't play; Ascalon is now gone. While the Black Sea could perhaps use another player, it has three already, four counting Sterk. The Baltic, on the other hand, is quite lonely with just two powers. I still think Brandenburg or Novgorod would be better choices, and Novgorod would also be a balance for Russia, though admittedly it has nowhere to expand short of attacking a player.
 
Yeah, Cuman would probably be the best in terms of who it borders and whatnot (certainly in terms of wealth). Also, I propose Hungary and I release all of our lands east of Oleshye (or maybe east of Western Crimea) to Cuman or Georgia.

Novgorod is gone, Germany took it.
 
I will most certainly release everything east of Crimea. I will have to wait til my king dies (or if someone is nice enough to assassinate him) cause I do not want to claim any titles for a guy with -2500 prestige.

I hope Sterk releases Georgia otherwise we will have to pry it out of his bloody hands since they are like gold those provinces.

Cuman should probably also be released since Rus is really huge.

It is fun to have three big empires pitted against each other here in the east. Sterk is the most arrogant and offensive of us so he naturally gets the BB amongst us.

I vote for a German player so that the east gets connected with the western players.

The arpads are thirsting for revenge Sterk. Sleep with one eye open ;) I hope you are enjoying our banter as much as I am!
 
Well, I will release Georgia, but I will keep one prov in the northwest (as I did with Jerusalem concerning Damascus and Palmyra) in order to assist Georgia immediately should it be invaded.
 
Sucks 'bout Ascalon, kinda wanted to move east and take the Kingdom of Basra. Oh well. I guess I will look around at germany. You win this time Sterk, this time. ;)

Anyways, could some one upload the latest save file so I can take a looky loo?
 
Thanks. How does the Duchy of Meissen sound?
