Kneel Before Me (Medieval NRP)

Meh, where's the fun in that? I mean, who doesn't love sending your young men and women to die by the thousands to paint a few more dots on the map with your color?

Exactly! What the hell do you think I have berserkers for?

Wars in these type of RPs tend to cause unneeded arguments. So, I'll sit back on my throne of gold and jewels and fund the wars instead of taking part. :P

I thought wars here would be moderated or something like that?

I agree that there is a lack of variety and I daresay originality. I would definitively like to see more unique nations and a smaller focus on trade. Hell, some nations aren't even in prime spots for trade, and yet somehow are still focused on it. Those are just my two cents, though.

EDIT: Not to say any nation is particularly bad - just that there could be more to make nations interesting and unique.

I certainly tried, Peps.

I didn't take all those military traits just so I could have a huge trade fleet. Some raiding is gonna go down.

I wasn't talking about everyone, or hell.. anyone. Not specifically. I haven't read everyone's sheets, anyway. I'm just saying that, from what I've seen, there is room for some.. I don't know.. uniqueness? Something cool and unique for every nation. Something that defines it. I didn't mean to imply any sheet was bad, if it comes out that way.

Eh, honestly.. If you are going to raid, then you should do that and do away with the trade. Why would you even raid if you are doing well with trading? Raiding is for those who want to take their things, not earn them or trade for them.

With the number of traits there are and very defined zones of what cultures exist, you're not gonna get a ton of 'unique' nations. If people like trading, then let them trade. Some prefer not involving themselves in heavy military campaigns.

Always good to have variety. Besides, you can't raid all the time and so there has to be something to do.

When I say something unique, I mean something that stands out about them. In Game of Thrones, what stands out about the Crannogmen is that they are small, northern people that live in swampy areas and are sneaky guerrilla fighters. What defines the Dornish, is that they live in deserts, are a very exotic people and culture, and are fiercely independent. The Ironborn are a people who live on nasty, wet islands and take everything they own from other people. So on and so forth.

It was a suggestion more than anything.

Well, considering you said you've not read all of the sheets, passing off judgement on people for not being unique is pretty unfair. :P

I suppose we could all make custom traits, but too much of that gets crazy.

[Pepperm1nts]

In that same post, I said I was speaking from what I had seen. But fair enough.

So, when are we going to get this show on the road? It doesn't seem like we're waiting on anything.
