The Monroe Doctrine only worked because of the Atlantic Ocean. #HistoryProblems.
I didn't know either... I miss two days, and suddenly...
Sorry about your friend... Hope he gets better.

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
Wow actually that is really close.
I can't say I know personally, but I really hope you get that sleep and that sleep is indeed really good sleep because from what I've heard, not all babies are good for peoples' sleep.
Though one of my brothers was very quiet as a baby, so I can't just broadly generalize and say 'all babies will destroy your sleep'.
「Brothers are always getting in the way...」
Well, it looks like 'the North' so far. The Salterri are being ever so specific right now...
Now, I have a question for you!
Uhhh, I was going to say that gentler and in PM, but I agree Arkhosia.
Harassharassharass
It also helps that...
So we know at least they're going in that direction rather than Raaneka, but we know nothing else.
Did anyone spend an action last turn talking to the Salterri? I'm fairly sure I saw something somewhere...
I should pay more attention!
Getting stabbed is not very pleasant.
I was going to PM you about it, but other stuff got in the way and I was waiting on the rest of the story to check for hints of where the Sympolemou-Sanctuary standings rest on the 'Alright' to 'Highly cheesed' ratings. EDIT - If I were Sympolemou I would think 'Highly cheesed' so I constructed my actions as such.
I mean... All I would actually do was talk anyway and that wouldn't've helped, but I didn't know you didn't realize you were being attacked.
I propose as etiquette perhaps sending a PM like the whole Declaration thing when the attack continues?
Because sometimes life needs you more than the game does and it's always good to be aware of what's going on without reading checking the IC thread itself every day.Last edited by Rain Dragon; 2014-03-16 at 10:13 PM.

I agree, and I regret not doing that now.
Also, if that was Olwyt's child it would be Ignato, if it is not claimed as Ignato it is not Ignato. Them's the rules. Kasumor may feel differently.
With colonization abound here's an updated map.
Assuming of course the Salterri don't turn the whole thing grey.

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
This really isn't true. By that point in history, the Atlantic Ocean wasn't much of a barrier anymore because basically everyone with the ability to colonize foreign lands and build an empire had advanced shipbuilding technologies that could cross the Atlantic without serious issues.
The actual reason that the Monroe Doctrine worked was because the British decided to support it; their interests had recently moved away from mercantilism toward more foreign trade, and stopping new colonization in the Americas helped to ensure that the many newly-independent ex-Spanish states would be a ready source of new markets for them to trade in without having to deal with the politics of other European powers.
We're talking about the British Empire in the Early 19th Century. NOBODY wants to mess with them if they can help it.
So the various European powers refocused on beating up Africa instead.[/HistorianMode]Last edited by BladeofObliviom; 2014-03-16 at 10:24 PM.

I am extremely happy that there is someone as interested in such things as you clearly are in this game.
The above post? The comparisons of the UN-GC peace to the Versailles Treaty? It makes me happy.

This is partially true, as this would have been pre-Steamship. However, by this point, most European nations had access to Clipper ships, which were able to quickly cross the Atlantic before logistics became a serious problem so long as they remembered to stock up beforehand.
It wasn't until the Steamship that Transatlantic Crossings were truly safe or easy, but Clippers were more than able to get the average crew across without Herculean feats of logistical power. If the British weren't also involved, the Ocean's challenges alone wouldn't have stopped South America from being crushed under Europe's boot. Again.
This, however, is right on the money. It also helps that a lot of the regions in question were already unstable and weak thanks to the receding Ottomans.
EDIT: Oh, and 55 is a player Region. I don't think they'll like it very much if you colonize them.Last edited by BladeofObliviom; 2014-03-16 at 10:57 PM.

I did actually read the new round post, but that most important piece of information slipped my mind completely.

Let's call it sea green.
Also, the Raaneki are great. Find Miracle pools? Add it to our wine! If it's liquid it's going into the wine, that's all there is to it. (I'm waiting for the inevitable trade for true ice so they can chill their wine properly)
This Salterri thing is stressing me though. Since when do NPCs do things other than get run over by PCs? Who told them they got actions? As if we weren't having enough struggle amongst ourselves... Ah well, hopefully their specific intentions will clear up tomorrow.

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
Indeed, I figured you had and it had simply slipped your mind. I thought it would be easier to quote a convenient link for you.
I didn't mean that you wouldn't've read the new round post when quite clearly you read all of them.
You... You even read my stuff.
Did you figure out what Yuuhi said yet?

You're probably right there.
Oh the Raaneki... They're incorrigible.
Wait... I was supposed to figure out that code?
Damn.
I have a subtle feeling that this is only the first wave of Salterri troops. An expeditionary force to test the defences of those they got upset with.

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
I have to agree here; with rough calculations (meaning I'm totally guessing) of 10% of Bordeux and Crima populations, I think I could raise that many troops with those two regions. With (at least) five regions, I think they could raise more. But hey, I suppose I should help, since I did DOW on the GC a couple of turns ago. Totally don't want a GK, or anything.

Re: EMPIRE! Community World-Building Game III: Prepare Your Inbox! (Messages Are Comi
I've updated the heraldry roll in the Raaneka OP with the heraldry for each family line of the Adite-Devdano Dynasty, for those who follow that sort of thing. The Family Roll of Names is also updated, but I have yet to determine which characters are eligible for marriage this round.
Do we have to roll when exploring for new/underground regions? I did it just in case.
Also... how often does population increase? And do we roll it ourselves?

Only if you want infinite lives.
Nineteen thousand. But it's close enough.
Also, Great Kingdom. I am almost very near such a goal. We can be Great Kingdom friends!
That said, if we do help out the GC, it would probably be best not to attack from that direction. It is better that the Salterri not have any reason to attack us from that angle. Let them think that we are all "to the North" and not "conveniently accessible by sailing West".

So the continued march of the GC into Sympolmou makes sense, since they didn't know in character that the duke had been overthrown. Now we can have peace talks and maybe Sympol can join us against an outside threat as a show of good Faith?
And while we're talking about good faith, how do you feel about conversion?
This is how the Pope operates, yes? Converted enemies are lasting friends.

You missed region 32 for me, as part of Lyradis' growing outreach.
I'll be praying for both of your families. Safe and fast healing for both, and decreased stress for you both!
This is the best news ever.
Hrm...wonder how I missed that. Let me double check your actions, just so I'm clear what happened and such. Standby. (unless of course you send it to me, which would be helpful.)
I hate days like that! (On the other hand...I don't see any rule changes that are different than before the edit...)
BABY! WEeeeeeeeeee. I love babies. Keep us informed (I see it didn't come yet). Congratulations anyways!
Rolling should happen whenever you're in doubt.
Except in the case of population increases, which Morph handles, and it happens every 5 rounds or so.
Hrm...or maybe we could bribe them? Though that seems to be a short term fix... I just...it's just...war...makes me sad....Scientific Name: Wombous apocolypticus | Diet: Apocolypse Pie | Cuddly: Yes
