[OOC] Kingdoms of Crypso ~ Low Fantasy, World Builder, NRP

[BlackBishop]

I was about to say that I might be willing to take the spot after all, since my schedule cleared up.

@Tatsua Aiisen

lol - please, by all means, its yours if you want it.

@BlackBishop

I'll take it, then. It's the blue nation, right?

You don't mind, do you?

[BlackBishop]

Not at all! I'll have a lot of NPCs to write for, so this is for the best, keep my workload lighter. Its great to have you.

[Tatsua Aiisen]

@BlackBishop

I'll have things made up in the next 24 hours, probably.

[BlackBishop]

That'd be great.

I'll have the map finished and stats up on Sunday, Monday at the latest.

[BlackBishop]

Got a start on stats. Check them out here.

[Vahir]

Is this already full?

[Tatsua Aiisen]

I accidentally fell asleep and forgot I was making a sheet.

Oops.

[BlackBishop]

Is this already full?

@Vahir

Afraid so. Sorry.

On Edicts and Investments

Edicts are laws or treaties implemented through your orders that enact a lasting modifier to your stats. They will be listed in your stats for easy reference and the effects may decay over time, and require an order to abolish. For example, a player may wish to spend a war order to establish a professional standing army. The results of this order will be shown in your stats under the edict heading, detailing the effects. Another player may use a diplomatic order to enter into a trade deal with another kingdom, the results of which will be displayed in their stats.

Players should be aware that each order you implement will have a cost attributed to the order. Cost of war orders are typically inherit in the cost of army maintenance, but establishing war edicts may be added to your expense. Other edicts may also come with an added expense. The cost of a successful order, however, is generally minimal. A one time charge will be levied against your treasury for failed orders, a figure determined randomly by the roll of the die with a max of 5k. Keep this in mind when doing orders.

[BlackBishop]

The game is officially started. Deadline for orders is set for next sunday, 15:00 eastern time.

You will see I've added a global disaster in our distant past as a unifying element for our civs and give us a base of reference for the year in the game.

I should announce too that Tapscott is my co-gm for this venture, as well as the leader of Thangia. He will be assisting me with stats and writing updates. He has gm'd games in the past, and though i suspect he may be a sexual deviant, im willing to overlook this as he is a good writer and GM. Take a bow, Tapp.

And so we begin. Once Tatsua has his nation up, I shall finish the map, in the meantime feel free to begin your IC, post your nation sheets in the characters tab and give us some juicy lore posts so we can learn about your kingdom.

i suspect he may be a sexual deviant

@BlackBishop

should I be concerned about this at all? O.o

Also, what are the orders? Just something you announce and give you nation some kind of buff?

@ClocktowerEchos

We all should.

Orders are anything you wish to implement to better your nations stats, or interact with NPCs or other kingdoms. You get an order for each category; Military, Diplomacy, Administration, or Plot. Check the OOC OP for details on each.

[BlackBishop]

updated the mercenary faction post in the character's tab to include some new mercenary companies.

[ClocktowerEchos]

I look at my sheet, I realize I'm basically the strongest XD

This will be interesting...

-evil laughter-

[Tapscott]

Yay for the game beginning! As for being a sexual deviant... No comment.

[ClocktowerEchos]

say, where do you find these pictures?

[Tapscott]

say, where do you find these pictures?

@ClocktowerEchos

Not sure who that is at, me or @BlackBishop. :p

Either way, I believe the both of us just look up stuff on google images. I tend to search for whatever I want in google images, e.g. Lizardman, and tack on Deviantart on the end because they tend to have high-quality images available, so it would read Lizardman Deviantart.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Say, what is the tech level we can go up too? Classical Medieval? High Medieval? gunpowder?

@ClocktowerEchos

The technology of Crypso is akin to the High Middle Ages, about twelfth or thirteenth century. Gunpowder has not been discovered, but that isn't to say your kingdom can't strive to pursue something similar through alchemy.
