Wrath of the Hordes

[Swuul]

Greetings all!

I am interested in organising a new CK MP again As my schedules are iffy, I prefer either short sessions often (so I don't miss so much when I miss a session ) or *long* sessions seldom. This time I want to try marathon sessions on a couple weekends

GAME INFO

Game starts at October 22nd (Saturday), 9 AM CET, and lasts until about 21 CET. Next session is 23rd (Sunday) same times.

Scenario: 1337

Playable starting-positions: All Duchies outside Byzantium.

GM and Host: Jarkko

RULES
1) If a player becomes King of Byzantium or Germany, the succession law has to be Elective.
2) If a players starting position is a heir to a King (or Duke) title, the family ties are cut to such a position.
3) You may not claim Duke or King titles, usurp is the way to go!
4) If a player crashes, the game is rehosted at the start of the next year unless he is in war in which case an immediate rehost.
5) If player goes AFK during rehost he will not be waited for, the game starts immediatly.
6) No editing during the game.
7) Latest (beta-)patch will always be used.


Just as in the Summer 2005 -game, any and all players are welcome! If you can make it for one hour during one of the sessions, please do join Playing positions are handed out on the principle first come first served, so claim your duchy now (Exception: Flanders, I will decide who plays Flanders of those who have shown interest to play it). Players who have not claimed or played a a position will be placed in a duchy I feel is most deserving a player.


As usual in games GM'd by me, I do not tolerate personal insults or attacks. If you say "you f**** son of a b***" or any equivalent in the game or in this thread, you can start packing. However, *in character* insults are not only tolerated but highly recommended. A line "You, my dear neighbour, are a son of a thousand fathers and your mother was a dog" would get high remarks in my books


The following people have so far shown interest:
Calistas
admiral drake
EarendilHE
NitramDatsgnos
Wyvern
Styrbiorn
Sterkarm



Please do chime in if you have interest in this

 

[Calistas]

I'd be keen. Probably the Duchy of Lancaster... tentatively for now?

 

[admiral drake]

i'm up for this but have to leave at 18cet unles ear/dpm/nitram join this for few weeks

flandern plz

*If* we can manage to play 12 hour sessions, I would assume (on past experience) that we don't need more than two weekends at most for a 1337 scenario. Without a serious continuous-mass-crash-boom we might actually do it in one weekend (would require an average 4-5 years per hour, so prolly a dream tough)

 

[EarendilHE]

i would like to join, although its a bit short timeframe...but well, we all have to make compromisses bohemia for me!

 

[NitramDatsgnos]

Interested, but I'll have to leave you at 19:30 on Sundays.

 

[Wyvern]

Sounds interesting Jarkko, I think I could be persuaded to join.

It's some while since I last fired up CK's so my memory of the various duchies is somewhat patchy, but would it be ok for me to be that Norman Duchy in southern Italy?

 

[Styrbiorn]

I'd love to, but this is in the middle of my exams so I will probably not be able to partake.

 

[Swuul]

You can do the exams next year if needed

 

[Sterkarm]

Well, I'm interested, but there's simply no way that I can play for that long, or at those times (it would be 2 AM to 2 PM, have commitments in the middle there and, if I was up at 2 AM I wouldn't be awake for those commitments). However, I might stop by a few times and by October 22nd, I might be free after 15 CET or so.

 

[Spinalcurve]

Thanks for the invitation Jarkko but I will probably not be able to play with you.
I will be away for a month or longer. Don't know when I come back.

 

[Styrbiorn]

You can do the exams next year if needed

Heh, I would if I could

 

[Swuul]

A bit over a week to take-off! Don't hesitate to chime in before start

 

[Swuul]

It looks that we have to adjust the times next weekend. On Saturday I won't be available until late in the afternoon, and on Sunday I won't converesely be available in the evening. Unless of course somebody else is willing to host during those times

 

[Wyvern]

I'm sorry to drop out after expressing an interest Jarkko but I don't feel I'll have the time free this coming weekend to make a worthwhile contribution.

 

[Swuul]

OK, I think we'll postpone the start for this into the future. Lack of time for certain key-players I had in mind (Styrbiorn, Wyvern and myself o ) means the survival-chance for the game would not be too excellent.

I'll get back when at least I can be sure to commit time

 

[unmerged(15148)]

I might be also interested, but I'm unable to spend such a long time (12 hours) before the computer and anyway I also have other things to do.

So, it would be better if we planed shorter sessions - and considering the small number of the CK MP community it would be rather difficult to organize a marathon session...

 

[unmerged(47028)]

I would like to join but I have no idea how to contact as I never tried. So I need some help.

I will try to find duchy I like to play asap.

YOu can read the link in my sig. It is written with EU2 in mind, but it applies to CK too If you have problems with it, please PM me!

Then I *might* be able to play. Can't say for sure, but if I have nothing on the schedule I'll show up.
