Sorry for the delay, folks! I'll get to posting. I suppose I'll go ahead and take Mordecai's opening to start the siege. :b

:D I will post soon, possibly tomorrow afternoon GMT. I am staying away from home for a couple of days, so I don't have much access to the computer.

Wweeeelll.... it's been three days since the last IC post! :(

I think there's a few bugs going about; all my RPs have slowed and a few have called in sick, as it were.

Interesting. Every single person I know in my town has come down with some sort of chest and head cold. (Admittedly, I only know like seven people and they all keep close contact, so they probably picked it up from each other).

Though I think such outbreaks are by nature localized - I can't see them affecting the entire Guild!

There's one going around here too. I think it's just that time of year for the new round of seasonal bugs to start making the rounds.

I was sick for about half a day, literally about half a day. I passed out, woke up the next morning and was fine.

Here in Britain, no one seems to have an illness. Well, not anyone I know anyway, except for my uncle.

And I finally posted! Yay :D

Really? It's like there's a series of cold and flu bugs sweeping through my town in Wales at the moment!

0_0 Please don't come over the border just now!

Then again, I live in Kent. it probably wouldn't reach me :D

BTW, do you speak Welsh?

I do not, I'm afraid. I'm English by birth (Manchester for five years and then Dorset/Wiltshire for thirteen years) so I've only been here for a couple of years. I know a few words and some mannerisms but definitely not enough to even try a conversation let alone carry one :P.

:D

I finally got around to posting! I kinda lost track of what I wanted to do with that post. I was going to start the southern attack and put in something about Marduk realizing he was separated from his master and his, for lack of a better term, boyfriend. But then I got distracted with the rioting and when I got around to mentioning his relations I realized that he would probably have a lot better luck fighting his way through the crowd than Mordecai did, and then we'd be stuck running all around Jerusalem making up excuses as to why we're not picking up either one of them.

Sorry for the holdup! Yesterday and the day before I was busy with chores.

Nah mate, it was my post during that time. :P

I spent the last two days waging a holy war for the unification of the Kingdom of Lithuania (under, of course, the flag of Poland!).
...Then my King died at the ripe old age of 90 and I spent the next 40 years quelling rebellions with an incompetent ruler and a whole lot of foreign conquest penalties. I was just getting my kingdom under control again and trying to breed a more suitable heir, who was planned to go on to take a bite out of the Holy Roman Empire in about thirty years' time, and I managed to accidentally delete my save. D:

*Loves Crusader Kings 2*

I do lurve that game. My best save was starting as Alfred of Wessex (or the Great) in the earliest bookmark and conquering all of the UK, Scandinavia, France, the Holy Land and edging into Iberia within two hundred years and four generations. I've never been able to recreate that feat though >.<. You get one bad heir or one female heir or someone dies too early and you get a regency and... boom.

Hah, nice! I've got to say that this recent Poland was my best yet - admittedly the only game I've played so far where I looked like I might be 'winning' by any meaningful definition of the word. Usually I conquer my first kingdom and and within a decade get assassinated and lose everything to gravelkind or a last-minute swing in the elective monarchy. I usually don't have the patience to try to re-conquer the kingdom unless my heir retains a solid claim and the successor is relatively weak.

I'm still learning the game though! Which is something, considering I've already dumped like 80 hours into it.

My biggest stumbling block is definitely succession. Every time I my king dies, my heir is at like -100 with everybody (and often -200+ with the biggest duchies, just for good measure). Then it's a flood of rebellions that I can only put down if I empty my coffers into mercenary armies.
The succession for the united kingdoms of Poland, Pomerania, and Lithuania cost me nearly 2,000 gold in mercenary fees.

On the upside, my first king had like 15,000 score by the time he died. Ironically, more prestige than the Holy Roman and Byzantine Empires combined. I have no freaking idea why. Maybe they broke a lot of truces or something. Then again, the average lifespan of their rulers was like ten years.

Oh, yeah. Something that I thought I would address before we got any further; I know a lot of GM's differ in this regard so I figure I should mention! You're all more than welcome to introduce your own NPCs and direct events if you see an opportunity to do so. A story told together is all the better for it, after all! Just... don't introduce an NPC if you won't have the time to write for him. I reserve the right to take action if they threaten to derail or stall out the RP! Not that I suspect that'll be necessary. ^^.

I should clarify - I did some research and Sidhe belong to Irish mythology. I'm now basing Rhiannon off the Faeries (Ellyllon - think of Elves) from the Mabinogion.

Oh, Annwn is the Otherworld. Enjoy!

I think this game is slightly different to Minecraft...

I will hopefully post tomorrow. Got to rest for my GCSE Citizenship Controlled Assessment write up! (fun -_-)

I'm looking forward to a fight scene. It will be fun to have Mordecai beat infidels over the head with his stave XD
