Better news...it seems as if now that I can be around at the start of the game. That is if nothing unexpected happens, such as Godzilla paying a visit to Stockholm...

Lotus says he'll sub for me, though he may be late. So it seems Norway will survive the Mongol onslaught. Thank you, Lotus. 
NP dude I'll be up to an hour late, depending on how work goes. I will attempt to bust ass and get done early so that I can show up on time.

We had 5 game stops. I’ll list the causes for each stop:
Golden Horde and now the Il-Khanat running wild. Borders being defined. Could use new players to fill in holes in Europe. Newest MAP Read AAR’s to find out more.

Just as the kingdom of france thinks shes catching up with 160k mp and ok income we see the new standard is set. People are now on 200-300k mp and 200 income. Naples was 330kmp last time i looked!
I can't make on Sunday. My family wants to celebrate my 21th birthday, on Sunday, eventhough it is on Tuesday. So all of you know.
I was informed last night that I am going camping this weekend, being labor day and all. While it will be fun, it sucks that I'll have to back out of this Sundays session, leaving Norway in some hurt I dont really have a say in it as my transportion is going and must stay w/ it for work reasons.

Sorry guys for not making it today. I had a minor incident with my bike on the way home, and finding a mechanic with a spare chain for my yamaha on a sunday 100 miles from home isn't all that easy Well i got home atleast, but not in time for the game
Well i got home atleast, but not in time for the game 
Well, fortunately for KOM, the Mongols lost lots of land to both Denmark and Rus. Also fortunately for KOM, my kingdom underwent a massive deluge. My king died of an illness, leaving his 15 year old son to inherit. Not long after he did, however, he became stressed, then schizophrenic, then was locked away for good (died), leaving it to his brother to rule the kingdom. Then, I misclicked and changed my inheritance law, causing 4 vassals to revolt outright and forcing me to spend over 3,000 ducats on vassal loyalty. Unfortunately for KOM, the Mongols were reinforced. They went from 20,000 men to 330,000 fierce, merciless raiders. They now march west into Danish territory. C'est la vie.
Weekly Game Update
We played at Below Normal for most of the game with 8 players. We played September 30, 1247 to November 4 1256. Current game MAP is up.
The players this session:
We had 4 game stops. I’ll list the causes for each stop:
Golden Horde and Il-Khanat still running amuck. Still need new players to fill in holes in Europe. Please write some AAR’s folks, that might help generate interest in the game.
Also, I must insist that players role play conflicts. A couple times this last session players had started wars and never mentioned why. As a player nation, you must try and explain the reason for the war. The reason doesn’t need to be a real one, example: “The Kingdom of Blah insulted our chancellor and must pay for this transgression”. Player versus player wars must also have a goal, for example: “Kingdom Blah demands the enemy surrender the County of Urp and recognize King Uhg as the rightful Duke of Grah”.

Looking closer to the map and I see that the Il-Khan is getting closer and closer to Alexandria and thus to Jerusalem and the Levant. Not to speak Byzantium itself. Aladar and Blackeye, we could have ourselves a nice little problem here...
Anyone got a save so i can see whom the best Piast is down there. As you perhaps remember i gave all the titles to my brothers and sisters in an attempt to hold onto the kingsdoms.
On closer inspection...our game was stable. Really stable. After you picked up me, we ran for about three hours before I crashed. That is good.
Uck, I hope Lotus can sub for me next week to deal with that little lot. Still, from the map, I seem to have enough space that I can trade a bit for time. Incidentally, would anyone be interested in a Russian Crusade?
Just to let you know KoM, the GH got their reinforcements... 330K last I checked...

I have to take a look on both GH and the Il-khanate, which means i have to expect bit less than double impact of the mongolian hordes than you. the il-khanate looks stronger and has except me only one human frontier nation..so ill join against GH or the il-khan after the other side is secured. lets hope they dont start a joint attack!
Can anybody host the save... I would like to get it before this weekend sometime. Or, meet up on ICQ sometime. Thanks

do i have your icq?
or just look below
Well, I want the hordes to attack me, personally. I want Poland to be at the brink of annihilation and have a great king lead me out of it to eternal glory. But that's me.

I feel bad when I write what follows. "Yes, and so do we, so we can liberate Rus, once and for all. And kick you in the nuts." But...it is a game. And I am in Iberia, and can't do anything against you.
