[OOC] The king is dead, long live the king! [Reboot] [5/7]

[Kho]

@Kho

I probably will.

Something like that sounds too whacky to miss up on!

Though what's that eternal business all about? :P

@Rithy

It's a text-based multiple choice game. One the most terrific things I have ever come across. You MUST try it. If there's anything you do in the next four hours: play Eternal. Start right now. GOOOOOOOOOO

[Rithy]

@Kho

Totally will!

... after some food!!

(Priorities are important! And nobody conquered the world on an empty stomach)

...

((of course, unless you discount an army of zombies))

[Kho]

@Cyclone Gah, just went through to the Eternal Harbinger ending, and its left me feeling empty and hating Thulemiz's guts
How dare he force me to beg!

[Cyclone]

@Kho

Had you not already seen all the endings yet? ;p

By the way, try Death Song. IMO it's the guy's best and far outclasses both Eternal and Necromancer in quality of writing if perhaps not in size or fun as a game.

[Kho]

@Cyclone I have seen them all, but this one depressed me all of a sudden. Maybe it's because you have to make some pretty shitty choices (morally speaking that is. Yes, the Kho IS a moralist, believe it or not *rolls eyes* at least kill people for a good reason damnit!) to eventually get there.

I've played through Death Song a few times actually, despite a chronic lack of world-conquest/destruction it was really quite beautiful

[Cyclone]

Back om the topic of the IC, I've had a vague notion of what to post but procrastinated it a bit too long.

I'll see if I can come up with a short post early tomorrow, because I'll be travelling more over the next few days and don't know when else I might get the time

[Rithy]

Ohh, I'm planning on getting into the RP as well!

Could someone give me a quick summary of some of the most important tidbits of plotpoints currently going on?! :D

I don't wanna just barge in and start acting Donald Trump style! ^^

[Kho]

@Rithy Worry not! For here you are among fellow Trumpees and Trumpets. No need to hide your allegiance to our glorious cause here! Speak plainly, and with truth, fellow Trumpee/Trumpet! [put a line through Trumpet as appropriate]

But regarding plot:

Everyone has just arrived at the capital city, all 'em new advisers to our new Boy-King
A confrontation took place between Chugo Bey and Ser Bastien over the fact that Chugo had not been invited, but the king calmed things down swiftly and met with Chugo later
Various behind-the-scenes scheming apparantly took place, though between who I really couldn't tell. Laxion doesn't do behind-the-scenes plotting you see, nay! No Machiavillian soul is his!
Now they all sit in the Chambers of Council, and it is announced that a rebellion is taking place in some western provinces, and since the Bastien player abandoned ship, Bastien was sent to die in the battle deal with the rebellion.
Laxion takes this chance to give his notMachiavillian solution to the rebellion

What @Kho said is a nice summarization of it all. Your character could indeed barge in with the proclamation they are late because [insert vague reason or blame that could be pointed towards another Province]

@Flynn

Then they could simply declare that all our problems would be solved if we built a wall around said province.

@Ryuzaki

And make said province pay for it

@Kho

Oh, oh, oh, don't forget the deportations either!

also, on another note, started working on my CS :D

[Vec]

@RithyI am just going to remind you that magic is pretty scarce in this setting. Mages and would-be-mages would probably be counted in a couple of dozens at most, amongst the hundred of thousands of regular humans.

Magic exists, but it is small. Nothing big and flashy. It takes a lot of time and energy to perform even the simplest of tricks.
It mostly exists in the form of shamanism, voodooism, spirits, etc. Most of the people saying the are able to perform magic are simple charlatans. Just a tiny amount of people is actually gifted.
The views on these people are mixed. Some lords value their powers, others shun them. Emperiat itself has no specific laws for magic users.

[Rithy]

@Vec

Yeh, I kno :P
I actually spoke to Flynn about it.

It's not like Moi capital is like the flying city of Dalaran or something ^^

(and guess who the ruling class is!)

[Kho]

@Rithy Daaamnnn yoouu. Gimme da damn beaches! I SHALL HAVE DA BEACHES! All your coast are belong to us!

[Rithy]

@Kho

If you want them, come get them!

[Flynn]

I will be kinda busy till wednesday, so we'll continue forwards then. So if you have any advice to give to the boy king, do it before then.

[Kho]

I'm busy in this period two, have some coursework I need to submit and a deferred exam, so don't mind me if I go quiet for a while

[frapet]

Chugo isnt going to be at the meeting?

[Cyclone]

Chugo isnt going to be at the meeting?

@frapet

Most likely not. The other day I was hoping to get a post out in time but couldn't. I probably won't get the chance since I too won't be free until around Wednesday
