Sorry for missing some of the sessions but my schedule is very irregular nowadays. I hereby leave the game, Maybe I could sub, I don't know. If I can, I will write here. Sorry again.
 
Bohemia and Jerusalem should be free. Rus is everything but free, since its under the control of Norway and Poland.
 
Uh, Burgundy is quite open after RP disgracefully and unfortunately took his leave of this game.
 
In fact, we are absolutely desperate for a Burgundy player. Or rather, let me rephrase that : Poland, Italy, Spain, and perhaps Hungary should be absolutely desperate for a Burgundy player, because if we do not get one, France, England, and Norway are going to be expanding into some of the wealthiest lands in the game. In fact, even I would quite like to see a Burgundy player, as it gives some extra diplomatic options in the North Sea, Central Europe, and the Baltic. And besides it would be a pity if RP's hard work building up that nation was ripped to shreds.
 
How could I have forgotten Burgundy. Yes, Burgundy is very important.

BTW, my dear father has decided to occupy the computer so he can do some copying and burning. It is his computer after all, and now he wants it. So only a divine miracle can result in me, having the computer and playing todays session.
 
Jerusalem isnt free. Theres always Mesopatmia to if the death grip on its ever let up.
Who plays Jerusalem then?
I opened the 1354 file as Jerusalem and find the country in serious disarray, the harshest thing of which was king with stewardship 2 lacking a steward.

I can play Burgundy if there's no more expierenced taker, but as I read from RPs posts, everyone had pretty much fought against Burgundy, so I wonder would it change anything if the current diplomatical situation does not change.
 
I kinda have had some other things on my mind lately and our playtime has been the same as visiting hours in the hospital.

Reflecting on why I got fed up with the gangbanging, from the moment France entered the game I have had to suffer 10-12 dow's from them. I gave lands, duchies, offered Brittanny, Normandy and even let them keep Paris. However when I was at war with someone France declared on me and being around the same size, I always had to fight overwhelming odds.

Actually the only opponent Cheech fought since he joined the game has been me and I wonder why, because as I said, I never demanded anything from France - I only gave.

Not sure if (or when) I will be here today as the old man is discharged from the hospital today and I might go and visit.
 
Theres nothing wrong with Jerusalem they just need there stupid king to die and let the guiness inherit. I grabed them when they were about 100 times worse and losing a war.
 
So, is the game going to happen today?
It's half an hour from now..
 
We got myself and binTravkin waiting in ICQ.. Both need the IP if you guys have started up...
 
sorry, for being late! plz rehost for me some time
 
We are ready for you Ear.. Hurry man..
 
Earendil, it's up!
 
Sterk, where the devil did you go? Your AI has annexed Bohemia! You now have a border with France, Italy and Burgundy in addition to Norway and Hungary; and every last one of these countries is extremely pissed at this upset to the BoP. You thought the wars to free Russia were bad? Wait till you see the Great Power coalition that's coming down your throat this time.

Hi RP, hope your father is better?

I don't know if you were thinking of coming back, but it does seem that the political situation might be changing a bit. Today binTravkin played Burgundy (and if you do come back, we're going to have to have a duel between the two of you for the Burgundy position). When AI Poland DOWed Boh, bin honoured the alliance; France then DOWed Burgundy with the stated war aim of having Burgundy WP Boh. binTravkin did this, and cheech then demanded 'compensation' in the form of the county of Saintoise! Well, that was a bit much. I declared myself neutral, and Dom came in on Burgundy's side in exchange for a hefty bribe, with the war goal of recovering Maine, Anjou and that V-province, whatever it's called. It ended in a WP when Trav intervened on France's side, saying he would defend its territorial integrity; but I think the general consensus is that cheech is being really quite aggressive. Myself, I like a weak Burgundy, which implies a strong France, just from sheer Realpolitik considerations; but there's such a thing as subtlety.

Incidentally, binTravkin saved Burgundy from losing the duchy of Lower Lorraine to another of my Yngling marriages with a side of poison. Damn my low-intrigue kings, I can't afford a duel of assassins.
 
I think its time to quit my job and go to collage. Oh well I have to wait till the fall but n/e ways this sux I missed this session looks intresting. On a crap note not only did I have to work in the morning today but since my co workers decided to be jerks and call in I stayed a extra 2 and a half hours.

Anyone have a save file for me to check out and see what happend to KoJ or maybe someone can tell me if there ok? And what happened to them? I didnt check out the times for my saturdays but I promise to make it from now on.
 
Well, last I checked out KoJ, they were winning their war with what's left of Byzantium, big time.
 
Weekly Game Update


We played at Slow for most of the game with 7 players. We played from March 1 1367 to January 1 1371. Newest game MAP is up. I uploaded the zipped autosave which can be downloaded from here.

The players this session:
  • Traveler - King of Italy
  • Ear - King of Hungary
  • cheech - King of France
  • Blackeye - Emperor of Byzantium
  • KoM - King of Norway
  • Dominus - King of England
  • binTravkin - King of Burgundy new player (sub/perm?)

We had 3 game stops. I’ll list the causes for each stop:
  • cheech CTD, not sure why
  • Host CTD, not sure why
  • Host CTD, not sure why, we stopped here

We played at slow for most of the game due to fighting. Byzantium is suffering under a Civil War. AI Poland swallowed Bohemia. France and Burgundy did some sparring.

Been a while since I posted, I will do my level best to be more timely. Please folks try to recruit players. For those of you who’ve joined us before please try and continue to play. If you don’t intend to continue with the game please let us know so we can offer your kingdom to other players.

We have passed a major milestone recently advancing past 300 game years. Close to fifty years of game play left in CK until we hit EU2. Now’s the time to cement your place before we hit EU2, where I’m sure things will get even more intense.

Open realms:
  • Kingdom of Bohemia currently occupied
  • Kingdom of Cuman a bit chewed on, potentially fun in the right hands
