He's objectively wrong, and the fact that he ever made the argument that he did proves that he had no clue what he was talking about in the first place. The most reliable way to correct misbehaviour is to display it.

This is your second warning, Nex. I've told you before, stop personally attacking other members of this RP. Do it again, and I will kick you out.

But I like spicy foods.

Also, Peppermint, wouldn't that Star Wars last supper be better if Emperor Palpatine were in Jesus' spot, and Darth Vader were in Judas' spot?

Probably, but I didn't make it :P

as the latest person to the Gun Debate I have this to say
Im for regulation on what type of guns you can own, but I see no reason for a total ban.

I appreciated that the Princess is in the spot that's supposedly Jesus' wife.

You get use to him. Just be kind to him and don't mess up with your grammar.

Nope, I'm the latest person! Anyways, they need to ban them.

Glory to Arstotzka!

Irrelevant, but just discovered there was a game of thrones mod for CK2.

Game crashed a dozen times, learned it was due to the ruler designer not working well with it, fixed it. . . and then while looking for a nice place to start, I find this one little Lord Clayton, a 9 year-old boy.

He was the Lord of Greenward, of House Blount. He was about as unimportant as they come. And yet. . . something told me to play him. I don't know why, but I was compelled to by some desire not entriely my own.

If I described everything that's happened so far, it would take up a short story, but in short: Lord Clayton has become the poor man's Loras Tyrell. The Mad King won the war, but quickly died of illness, leaving Ser Feelsalot in charge. A rebellion deposed him to put Selwyn of Tarth on the throne, whose reign was much like Robert Baratheon's in the book series, albeit much longer. He died a 'natural' death at age 51, and now Galadon [married to Margaery Tyrell, natch] sits on the Iron Throne.

The Kings of the land were fine with who got the throne, but not how the land was divided via Gavelkind. A civil war only slightly smaller than Robert's rebellion has placed every kingdom save the Stormlands against Galadon. They now fight to depose Galadon in favour of his younger brother, and institute Primogeniture succession, so this shitstorm doesn't happen again.

Also, Jon Connington killed Robert during his rebellion. One province south of Stoney Sept.

I find this a very eerie alternate history.

For reference, the game is now 6 years after Robert's death in the book series.

How is diplomacy with npc nations handled? Do all diplomatic actions require orders or just treaties? How are npc attitudes toward players decided? Is it just by rolls? or gm discretion? Is the historical relationship between the two nations taken into account?

CK2 is a PC game by Paradox Interactive. In the original version, you play as a medieval lord trying to win glory, expand your domain, and keep your dynasty alive and thriving. The mod places the game in G.R.R. Martin's book-series-world: A Song of Ice and Fire.

That said, if I might be allowed to shamelessly advertise, I do have an NRP system that has players as lesser lords in a kingdom. No where near the complexity of CK2, or any Paradox Interactive game, but I suppose it's on the more advanced end as NRPs go.

EDIT: Nvm, thought you were talking about my post. I need to go to bed.

I believe that Diplomacy is handled by contacting Outcast. He takes the role of the NPC nation. Orders I believe depend on the type of treaty. For example, declaration of War has taken no orders; but I know giving territory/trade/training requires orders.

As for the rest I'm not certain. I imagine that Outcast does his best to take historical relationships into account, but I think that with all the PC Nations involved that he does not really mess with them unless a PC player directly effects it.

I think he was referring to World in Revolution, Flooby...

@Dannaroo: Through PMs with me. If you are taking action, ie giving up land, sending troops etc, it takes an order, but if it is simply agreeing to support each other, it does not take an order. NPC attitudes are indeed decided by a mixture of all factors you listed.

Okay thanks for clearing that up. Time to start plotting my domination of South America...

A'ight, I can't be botherd scouring the internet for pictures of 19th Century battles right now. Might do it in the morning. In order to save time (and my sanity) I skipped any orders that didn't need to be there. If you gave an order to defend a particular area, and that place was not attacked, assume it is being defended. I mean, luck and rolls are important, but not even the Italians could fail to defend an unattacked border.

ACW update coming later in the week. Any questions, feel free to ask, but do it nicely please. I make mistakes, you all know this, but getting angry about it won't solve anything.

War of the 8th Coalition / The Great War (of Europe)
Death Toll:
The Allies: 37,200 men
The Eighth Coalition: 66,070 men

It's a little sad, thinking about the little lives being torn apart.

Anges was a French tomboy farm girl. She'd always been on the butchier side, and when France was called to fight the Prussians to keep Alsace-Lorraine in France, she snuck out, disguised herself as a boy, and ran to the nearest recruiting station. If they had any suspicions, they didn't act on them.

After receiving only the basics of military discipline, she and her regiment were sent to scout an area where Prussians were apparently spotted. As they're tromping up and down the French countryside, they come to the top of a hill. Suddenly, bullets fly from every direction. A kid in the regiment falls over. The lieutenant barks to duck, but Anges isn't retreating. She uses the hill for cover, and gets in a few shots, but the Prussian men aren't like the rabbits back home. She spends too long peaking over the hill's top before a crackshot blows a hole in her skull.

She even didn't have time for a last thought.
