EMPIRE! A Community World-Building Game II: 2 Quest, 2 Curious

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Also Wombat, the second post has a few errors concerning Celero, and ironically, your Country Lyradis.

Celero is importing Craftsmen from Lyradis, and Lyradis is importing Wood from Celero. "Oddities" notes Celero has Fish/Game, and it has been only Fish since round 2.

I fixed the resources thing, but I'm still working on reorganizing the post. It's not really updated as of yet.

Silverbit is the first to reply to the Codex as a Seeker =D I am excited. Seekers are followers of Radurja sent from Genivana to other nations to study their ways. So anybody else interested in writing about their nation from the point of view of an outsider feel free to join in

Unless the position pays really, really well, the Jeweled Cities are likely out of reach. Just saying.

[Morph Bark]

Would it be possible to attend such events without spending an action so long as you took no actions there? IE make no trade agreements, form no new alliances, ect. ect. It's fun to use stuff like this for fluff >.>

That seems perfectly fine. Especially so if you do not use your current ruler for it, but side characters. Heirs seem perfect for such threads, build up their character for the time they will seize the reigns.

Thread title has been updated and Raaneki Games thread will be listed under Additional Roleplay Threads in the OP.

You took a seeker home with you last turn When your boats were wanderin around.

In that case, I may send Cassandra, with a royal entourage, as diplomats. If ImperatorV ever responds to my PMs, at any rate.

Oh, yea. That's right. Luckily he wasn't on that boat that mysteriously disappeared.


Oh, on an OOC note, just wondering if people read the fluff I write.

As a matter of fact, I read more than half the fluff from posts in the main game thread (and all of what is posted in the side threads). I like your style of writing.

[Zap Dynamic]

Hahaha, I read it for the first time *right* before checking this thread! Too funny. I literally lul'd.

[Elemental]

You presume I don't have an unusual accent.

Hmmm, now I'm wondering what horses on salt flats would be like. Never were any irl, as they're not well-suited for most mammals, but it might fit if they were adapted for it.

The Blazing Avatar, star player of the Firepeak Flarebeasts. It's like playing extreme rugby in a highly volcanic version of Canada.

You must, it's the only explanation.

Well, they wouldn't be. I get to describe two terrain features, correct? It stands to reason said terrain features will explain everything.

A divine avatar on their team? That's just plain unfair!


As for the games, Ashenia alas won't be able to send anyone.

[Rain Dragon]

My army swells! *Maniacal claw tapping and chittering*

Scary.

EMPIRE! A Community World-Building Game II: Civilization Not Included

Vote.

Behold, the Raaneki Games of 347!

Well, my people are busy and my oldest heir would be 7 years old... Sorry, I will have to pass unless Elder Ambvard can go. I'll have to think about it, but he's a Razdissi dwarf and I don't think I'd get it right.

Oh, on an OOC note, just wondering if people read the fluff I write.

I read everything, but I normally don't remember quite everything.

[Tychris1]

Hmmm... Don't mean to rain on your parade Zap, but isn't a Trade agreement specifically a Diplomacy action? Curiosity is more sciency then "Lets do business". Though they do go well together.

[QuintonBeck]

Zabbarot, hope you don't mind I did a Seeker post in the Codex thread. Mosi might not like what my seeker did but on the other hand it makes sense too. Sorry for adding drama (however minor) to your codex, but I love messing with my characters and making them do questionable things.

As a side note, as I was writing it the Codex felt less and less like a religious thing and more and more like a journalistic one with religious trappings. It's a really interesting idea that I quite dig.

[Lord_Burch]

@QuintonBeck I like the use of the phrase "Bring Aloren under our protection"

What, so now only Ashenia can use propaganda?

EDIT: Meant Crima, my bad.

[Elemental]

Wait... When were we propagandising? I am now very confused...

[Lord_Burch]

Emphasis added by me.
Unless there are other rules for colonisation that directly contradict this or I am reading it wrong, I can't add more resources by colonising. I just get to describe two terrain features.




Shouldn't that be seize control, not cease control? If so, then I now understand what's going on here.
I'll take the local tribespeople/whatever-social-system-they-employ into account. All shall bow before the might of Ashenia! I mean... All shall be ruthlessly absorbed into my growing empire! Oh, I give up. It's pointless trying to hide it. Great Kingdom, here I come!
In any case, when I finish fully colonising the place, do you want me to describe the locals and their society, or do would you prefer to do that?

This ring any bells Elemental?Also I pronounce cease and seize the same so me and morph agree and the majority is always right so there...

I wanted to research horsemanship, but the only way I could think to do it was by negotiating with someone who has horses. I also need to get some livestock, so I figured I'd take care of both (the trainers were going to bring the horses anyway, so I figured I'd just negotiate to keep them). I see how it could be interpreted either way, but the most important part in my eyes is the research.

I figured it was ambiguous and might come down to a GM ruling... can I ask which way it will be ruled, or will I need to wait until the end of the round?

I'm not a GM, but at this point you're trading for it, not researching it right? So it'd be Diplomacy, not Curiosity.

Oops! Meant Crima! Ugh, all you Unioners look alike

*shifty eyes* Maybe...
That must get very confusing from time to time.

Oi! That's discriminatory! We're four separate cultures and ethnicities here! I in particular find this offensive as Ashenites are clearly more attractive than the others.

[Tychris1]

If you would clearly look at this graph, it shows that the Sympol race is the sexiest race.

But Tychris, that graph is just a-

Yes little Timmy, it is just a giant blade.

But then it isn't really a gra-

THUNK

Not really, I can tell by context.

Oh, really? Screw everything else, changing an action to a Union wide beauty contest. Who wants to judge?

That's not a very good graph Tychris. The axes aren't labelled.

Damn. Another event I can't attend.

I win by default! Get owned!

Little Timmy reminds me of Crendor's little Billy... Are they related at all?

Clearly however things are as it stands, the people of region 17 in the future will become the sexiest. Unless... We get slaughtered before I execute my plans... Which is likely.

Huh? Do you get $10 for coming second in the beauty contest?

Also, I think context is very important for conversation and a lot of people ignore it which is odd. It's weird saying for example, 'I' every two sentences because clearly the listener doesn't remember who we're talking about.
I think I've finished ranting now.

...Silly Terkovites, what is this "$" nonsense? What was he formerly known as?
Don't worry, we all need a good rant once in a while.

Well, I'm only trading so I can start the research. If it would make it seem more research-focused, I could negotiate for a one-time trade instead of something ongoing.

But you'd need a continuous supply, as well as a separate breeding stock, to keep the lines going. I'll let one of the GMs decide, but I'd bank on it being a Diplomacy action, with a Curiosity action later. What, exactly, are you researching, anyway?

It's a secret.

[Lord_Burch]

It's a secret.

I assume it's an entirely new technology that requires horses?
