Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
Worse.
Spoiler: Pay no attention to the rant behind the curtain.I couldn't make it. The bus station I was supposed to go to was under construction and signs I needed to follow to the replacement bus station left me someplace that wasn't a bus station at all. Then I backtracked a mile on foot, went to the other side of the train station, located the bus line I needed according to the information I had, and rode it all the way to the end because it turned out that the busstop I needed to step out at wasn't part of that line. And both bus drivers I met going back and forth along that line to get back to the central station didn't even know the stop I needed to be at wasn't part of their route. Then I located a free wifi station, looked up the adress, got on a boat across the river, walked several miles to get there, only to find out that I couldn't get to the school because from that part of the city the only way there was by a major road that pedestrians couldn't access. Or rather, they could, but only half way. I would've needed to walk through the brush beside the busy road or walked all the way around, and since I had already spent 2 useless hours, I decided to head back home instead. 7 hours and a fistfull ofdollarseuros wasted.
In other news, I'll be locking the round in an hour. In the meantime, I'll update the rules with the new stuff. New rules will be put in Green text, like the latest update was (which will therefore stop being green). Blood claims and... I don't even remember what else there was.Homebrewer's Signature | Avatar by Strawberries

So, if I disappear for a week or so don't worry. My wife may be going into labor a touch early... Baby is due at the end of the month, but could be in the next 24 hours @_@
Edit: Hospitals are boring and have WiFi, so I might still be around between excitement.

Thanks, to be honest I'm not 100% sure the baby is really coming just yet, but we did rush out the door to come to the hospital. We're just waiting while they get vitals. I'd promise updates, but if the baby comes it'll be the only time I'm actually unable to post.

Well... I guess I'm not playing anymore, so I'll try to keep my posts here to a minimum unless someone summons me.
Hey, you even used a similar purple to the one I had in my signature linking to the useful-summary-of-things post.
You and your fireworks!
I hope so also.
I'm very glad I haven't quite had it that bad. That really really sucks.
...what Quinton said. I don't mean to sound inconsiderate, just that he ninja'd me with well-wishes I was going to type out in pretty much the same way.

Better to be safe than sorry! Congratulations! it's not going to be named Mosi is it
Don't make me summon you daily.
In other news, round is up! As always, I hope I don't come up with a ton more events to add on Monday, but we'll see. I tend to do that anyway, after all.
Also, I will state that I'll put up limitations for resources per region this round to 4, but there will be possibility of expanding that amount. How? That will follow later.
Furthermore, rules for confederations and ideas for heads of religions to have more stuff to do are being brainstormed.Last edited by Morph Bark; 2014-03-16 at 08:10 PM.

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
Congrats! I hope that your wife and child will remain safe.
A couple of questions about my actions Morph: First, for my second action, can pulling troops back and defending a region be one action? Secondly, do we (Elemental and I) need to spend an action invading, since we captured the leader and killed all of his men? I'd assume yes, but want to confirm. I have too many actions to take.Amazing Jaune Arc avatar made by the talented artist Comissar. Thanks a lot!

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
So you can only have 4 Good Resources in a region at any one time? Hmmm.....
Edit: Also should I just post my continuation for the last rounds Story Arc this round and just say it happened last round? Or should I post it here? I know I can't edit it in because that's not allowed, so I'm just curious.Last edited by Tychris1; 2014-03-16 at 08:36 PM.

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
By default, all troops are in their home region at the start of a round. This makes it easier to keep track, because we're not going to track the location of every unit everywhere.
You can send military units to multiple places with a single action, too.
And if you wish to conquer the region, yes, you will need to spend another action. Or at least the person who wants to have the region needs to.
4 Resources. Multiple may be Great. I have thought on limiting that as well, and am thinking of making it limited to 2 Great Resources per region. As the default, of course.
Just post the next arc this round in the IC thread as per usual for that stuff. You can always say it's the very first thing to happen this round, or the last in last round.
Looking forward to it.
Of course!Last edited by Morph Bark; 2014-03-16 at 08:46 PM.

Hey Morph, mind reviewing Felitora so far?

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
PM question:
Questions about colonization, why is everyone using curiosity for it? Isn't it a diplomacy/military action?
Also, if someone is trying to colonize the same region as me but they haven't noticed I'm trying to colonize it, and thus, have not made any attempt to roll and try and beat my roll, or to switch to military and automatically beat my roll, am I allowed to not remind them and win solely because they never rolled?
You are allowed to not tell someone about it if you notice that, though in good sportsmanship I'd say I'd prefer you did tell and leave the consequences to doing or not doing it to their fault. Rolls that aren't linked aren't counted (or rolled by the GM if absolutely necessary). For first-round colonization, not posting rolls will mean that if others attempt to colonize the same region and they do post their rolls, they automatically win. For the second round of colonization, they don't automatically win if that happens, because in such case, I will make the roll if there is none to be found.
I figured this might be important to some, so I posted it now. I am now off and will answer other questions later. Good night.Homebrewer's Signature | Avatar by Strawberries

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
Thanks! I like the formatting under people best, and you could probably put the landmarks into terrain.
Remember the thing with the city? You can list cities too as well like I did under a different section, but you have an extra terrain feature you can list. They're supposed to be more like natural wonders.
You could probably merge landmarks into Terrain.
You mentioned in the Cantus Sai thread that scouts are really important in your land and that your people like doing acrobatics. You could put that under people if you want maybe? EDIT: Oh yeah, and something about music and drums. I... forget.
I just noticed mine was tagged incorrectly too. Ahahaha hilarious copypasta issue. 「That action was planned to be the final action of those Tomes I never ever got around to unburying yet.」
At least Wombat doesn't have to worry about that. I get to laugh at my own derpiness though.Last edited by Rain Dragon; 2014-03-16 at 09:11 PM.

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
Couple questions
1.) How did my exploration looking for an Under-Aloren go? I'm sure it failed, but I'm still hoping the theory that the kobolds are rarely seen because they're underground may hold true.
2.) We get population increases this round right? (I'm assuming I'll get a penalty with this dang Tellurian Whooping Cough, hopefully my imports offset it)
3.) Did the Salterri specify who they were declaring war on? Clearly Grrmanhill wasn't part of it, so I'm wondering who is.
I don't know why you thought the war was over... You never offered a peace conference and you didn't post your actions til the last second. It's no grudge just...
Enjoy your rest for now haha Best wishes again for it all :)

I'll echo the stuff Raindragon said, plus the stuff I said last time I reviewed it that hasn't already been addressed.
Seriously, use Wombat's template and add/remove categories as necessary. It makes everything easier and ensures you haven't missed anything important.

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
Well, I need to bring the region fully under my control and upend the place. I suspect all manner of interesting things to fall out, one of them hopefully being an aging King who will likely be shocked to find out he is king.
So yes. But you don't have to because my remaining troops should be able to handle the rest of it.
Damn... I've been colonising as a curiosity because I view my colonisations from an economic standpoint. From now on, I shall make certain to do so as military or diplomacy actions.
Congratulations anyway and best of luck for the thirty-first.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
Well... Seeing as they're crossing Region Thirty, that leaves two possible paths for their army; Hrathan-Tuor and Raaneka.
I think the former is much more likely, it is a known ally of the Ignato Empire after all and why anyone would invade Raaneka I have no idea.
Now, I need to decide whether or not events in the East warrant military assistance from the West. I guess we'll wait and see.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
I didn't think it was over, I just remembered people asking me where I was attacking so they could defend, and presumed that meant conflict was on the defensive instead of the offensive. Spending most of my time writing and working on fluff (And, in more recent events, tending and worrying for my friend who got stabbed) made me not look too deeply into the IC thread.

Assuming their target is so close. It may be somewhere else.
I'm sorry to hear about your friend! I hope he's alright!
It's fine, like I said, it's just those questions were being asked to decide how to split forces and whatnot. In fact since no one died with it and with the Salterri maybe marching against us it might be best if we all just cough awkwardly and walk away since no one died this round.
