Whoops! I made a Curiosity action to research improved athleticism in my country, and I flavored it as yearly games for my people. To clarify, this isn't a Diplomacy action, so it's not something that's open to foreigners. Sorry to confuse anyone.

So no games this round. That makes Orgnar Sad.

[Zap Dynamic]

I guess this is a good time to plug... the Raaneki Games will take place next turn! The new thread will have the mechanics I've proposed in the first post. More details to come!

[THEChanger]

My thoughts are with you and your family, Wombat. Blessings and peace go with you.

[Elemental]

You have my condolences Wombat.




Edit: Important questions regarding my recently acquired territory... I assume I need to do an explanation of the inhabitants, their religion and two additional terrain features, but I can do that in my sleep. Note: If I did do it in my sleep, it wouldn't be very good.
What I need to know though is, one, how do I determine the population of the region, and two, do they need an import necessity? If so, is there a method you have in mind so I don't just use something I already have access to?

Sorry if I'm much less active this week. I'm not feeling well. I want to give everyone advanced warning of an event Sanctuary will be hosting in Tekorva every twenty years 「four rounds」 beginning in round 8 「year 366」.

Yes, it is very advanced warning, however I don't want to disrupt other peoples' plans. I've finished writing most of the character profiles and hope you will attend. The High Prince will be sending out invites to all rulers during round 7. I don't mind if nobody's interested either, so don't be afraid to turn down the invitation when it comes to you.

Summary of my planned event - A cultural event involving the appreciation of fine arts, in particular paintings and music. However, under the surface lies intrigue typical of the Aristocracy of Sanctuary…


366 「Round 8」

Relatively recently within our Memory the ancient tradition of Cantus Sai has become prominent among the Yorukuninin. As time went on and the nature Cantus Sai fully developed, the main event became exclusively for the Pure Blooded and an unspoken rule was born that only the Aristocracy may attend though all may celebrate Cantus Sai. With recent events giving us access to great influence within the Overworld, our Advisor Shadou to the Future High Prince of the Ancient Fiefdom of Sanctuary has made an announcement which caused excited rumour among many of the Yorukuninin.

Thus, the Aristocracy have decided to invite the most powerful rulers of the land to partake in Cantus Sai. While they are allowed to bring attendants and parties, they may not bring any but themselves into the Aristocracy’s Cantus Sai.

What is Cantus Sai you ask, and why is it so important to you? Well, to begin with our people are a proud race. Some Overworlders would even call us arrogant, and they are not far wrong. We take great pride in beauty and so an appreciation of the arts would be popular among us, don’t you think? While we celebrate beauty all the time, Cantus Sai is an ancient tradition of gathering to appreciate others’ work. Paintings, sculptures, lyrics, stories, music, theatre and countless other things.

Of course, with the nature of our modern Cantus Sai, would it not be a perfect opportunity for… Well… I’m sure you can figure that out for yourselves, what with so many of High Birth gathered.

EDIT - Copy pasta issue

Two questions:

if a new ruler takes over on "day 1" of a round, we use his/her stats, correct?

The second question was redacted. I made a mistake reading the map.

Two questions:

Is there any claim on region 26, or any info? I'm thinking exploration / colonization for the Jeweled Isles.

As long as the action is during this round, the previous ruler's stats are used until the end of the round, and the next rulers stats take effect the next, and get the bonuses the previous round accrued.

Technically yes, but we need to know from the previous round onwards, so that by the current round ends the rulers stats have already been updated to the tables. So if you want to start next round with a new ruler, you need to inform us this round, and post a link to the rolls.

As region 26 stuff was never put up by the reserver, it is now open again and available for colonizaion or claiming.

Sorry for bothering with Nyroth missionary mission, there is no comment about it in round 6 post, so I should take it like unsuccessful?

[SamBurke]

Spoiler: For Sam_Burke, because the joke isn't over

Show

I lol'd. Then I saved this.

As I read them, the Tactical Movement rules will allow someone to roll for a chance to fight on their favored terrain, right?

I had considered eventually trying for a winning tactic in Defense... maybe a shorter, more general list would be better? Spitballing:
- Attack
- Defense
- Naval
- Aerial

I would prefer a system that's much simpler than the 14, too.

Oh yeah, yes. Those. I can't wait to see where this leads because I haven't seen much quite like it. Which is fine, but this just stands out in very stark contrast and I am at the edge of my cushion to read more.

Is your PM box open? Did you catch the I think... Last one I sent you? If you have it, I don't need to harass you /too/ much.

GOSH. C'NOR. PLS OPEN YOUR PM BOX! I may end up sending it to you as an email, then.

Psst Elemental. Not everyone knows where in the world we are.

Even if he is not susceptible to a drug which allows him to commune with the spirits, what sort of Avatar would he be if he was completely unable to commune with the spirits?

I concur with Rain. I wouldn't have noticed it until this round if Wombat hadn't pointed it out.

Popping in to let you folks know my grandfather died this morning, so I'm going to be away today. I'll likely be back tomorrow to do something that gets my mind off things, but rest assured folks, I will be back. Just need some time.

Hope you all have a nice weekend. <3

*hug* Sorry man. Losing grandparents is horrible.

CLAIM! Finally I can get something without interference!

C'NOR, I HAVE A PM FOR YOU. Posting that down here again just to make sure it's seen.

:[/QUOTE]

Well, I did ask originally....

[BladeofObliviom]

CLAIM! Finally I can get something without interference!

Nnnnnope.




@Wombat: Chiming in a bit late here, but I'm also really sorry to hear that!

I hope you're holding up okay. I could barely handle my dog's death a few years back, and I'm closer with my Grandfather than I ever was with my dog.

[SamBurke]

Well, I did ask originally....

But you have a region all mapped out now, right...?

Nnnnnope.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Everyone hates Guilder! Whyyyyyyy!

XD

[Logic]

Also chiming in a bit late here:
Wombat, I wish you all the support you need. I fully understand if you are absent for a bit. I know what it is to lose a grandparent. It's tough, so I wish you well.

[Morph Bark]

It will be a threeway attempt then. Better make those Diplomacy rolls.

[SamBurke]

Three-way for 26?

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Thanks everyone for your kind words. I'm...not great...but I'm alive.

Hey Morph, was Crima's attempt to reverse engineer Mithril successful?

Anyone have any discrepancies with my Stat increase post?

[BladeofObliviom]

I am less than pleased with the result of that roll.

"Darn you, RNG! DARN YOUUUU!"

[SamBurke]

"Darn you, RNG! DARN YOUUUU!"

... what roll...?

Woot! Finally some happy fun time. I might get to roll!

[Logic]

Invitation to the world's fair is extended to all world leaders and scientists for this round. The official thread for roleplaying will be up later today (6:00 PST +/- 1 hour). So if you have an action for diplomacy or curiosity, you may want to roll it into attending the event!

Morph! Celero is conducting an investigation before making any potenially rash action against Crima or its leadership. Should this be a roll in the dice thread to determine the culprit? Celero is also calling out to any potential adjudicators to assist in the investigation. I am pondering if this should also be made into a thread. (I am also pondering if the most knowledgeable experts of law should be invited, considering they are exclusive to the Union of the North.)

[Zap Dynamic]

So we can definitely use a Curiosity action to attend? If we use a Curiosity action, can we roll Diplomacy actions (e.g. trade agreements) into the action? Could we nest other Curiosity actions (e.g. research) within our attendance?

I'll have the Blazing Avatar drop by in that thread then. I was planning on having him travel through some of the countries this round. I wasn't planning on making a thread for it specifically, though if someone wants to make a thread for it for their country, feel free to. (The RP bits won't be too long and each individual visit won't take longer than this week. Pryonia, Keldagrim and some of the Union of the Northwest were part of the plan for the trip.)

For that investigation, Logic, you can make an... hmmm... Diplomacy roll.

The Doge would be interested in talking to him as well, which is why Tumberink was sent to the Burning Temple (as seen in that thread).

[Lord_Burch]

So who all is trying to claim 26? Cause I think I'm going to add myself to that list. Of course, now I have too many actions, but that can't really be helped. I'm on a phone right now, but I'll update my actions and do the rolls in ~3 hours.

I'm claiming it, for one. I dunno who else.

The Jeweled Cities will press a claim, since we have the boats to get there quickly. I willbupdate my stats and be able to roll Tuesday.

I also want to reread the opposed colonization rules again,
