[OOC] Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

[PhoenixWhite]

@Klomster

The origin of the bloodshed is my gnarled hands, calloused and scarred from the papercuts garnished from graduation project beginnings and textbook chapters.

[PhoenixWhite]

Well, I got up my post now.

Let me just say, I'm going to have way way way too much fun with the whole 'peasants turned noble' thing.

[MacabreFox]

Information pertaining to the kingdom of Ralda, is now available for reading in the Reference Sheet. (:

[TheDuncanMorgan]

Sorry about the short notice: But I may be unavailable this weekend. I will be back Sunday evening UK time.

[PhoenixWhite]

Hm. I like the somewhat slow pace we've got going on, lets me think things through. I get the distinct feeling our independent characters have a little dry spell going on, with the exception of our good Steel Fist Mercenary, but that's to be expected when we were waiting on the Nation Characters to catch up and get this negotiation started.

My only question is how long do you fellows want to stay in negotiation? A long, in depth, attempt at negotiating things, or do you all see the negotiations falling apart sooner rather than later? This might be a bit too much of an IC question for me to really ask it, but it's a bit of a 'prediction' question I suppose.

As a side note, Alenius/Blackwell Culture preduction has begun.

Im on my ipad now, my pc went down again. I am able to post on my ipad but it won't be as long as on the pc. Is that a problem or not?

@twannyman

As long as you can write a minimum of 6 paragraphs, that'll be fine. We would prefer a quality, lengthy post introducing your character after all.

@PhoenixWhite Also, I'm looking forward to what you come up with for Alenius (:

@Catchphrase How is expanding your CS coming along? I don't see any changes made to it as of yet.

@MacabreFox

All hail Macabre Fox, our lord and savior, she-who-stays-on-our-backs-and-enforces-our-commitments, the mighty recordkeeper, the unsung hero of Formaroth, the legendmaker, the-one-who-links-the-reference-sheet, the-one-who-makes-the-reference-sheet!

Long story short I actually am really amused and appreciatice of how active you are Fox xD

[MacabreFox]

I'm a girl but thank you :) that is much appreciated! Though I will say, it's not all my doing either, as TDM and I have collaborated a lot on the Reference Sheet. When I first joined, all those months ago, I felt there was a great opportunity to make a beautiful world for this, and since we have such a low rate for those staying committed to this, I decided to make it more worthwhile for all of us, that have chosen to stick around (:

In other words, I have plenty of time on my hands xD

@PhoenixWhite

This reminds me of dominions 4.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

I'm back

@PhoenixWhite The meeting of succession will end once Andrew has got his IC post up. Fox and Kloomster can also do a post on how Aurelia and Claus respond to the negotiations if they wish. I don't want to spend to much time on the meeting so we can move the story along.

@MacabreFox

Don't think that is possible fast.

Can do it but i will take time

@TheDuncanMorgan

Welcome back (:

I don't think I'll write a post for Aurelia in this round of posts, unless you deem it necessary, I was going to wait to post our collab, to count as my post. That way it's spent with Aurelia discussing/reflecting on what occurred, but of course, if something exciting comes up, then I may consider otherwise. In any case, just consider her sitting there, and observing everyone.

@twannyman

Take your time, we're still working on this round of posts (:. We'd rather have it be written properly, than written poorly.

[TheDuncanMorgan]

@MacabreFox Very good.

Andrew said he would have something up tonight so we should be free to proceed soon.

[Klomster]

I think my char simply listens to what is said.

I mean, this is big news, gotta have a clue on what's going on.
It's in the work after all.

[MacabreFox]

So I thought I'd drop this off here, as I've been working on creating some characters, and I decided to recreate Aurelia. I've already updated my CS, but I feel that this is a more accurate representation of what she looks like, per se.

Aurelia New And Improved

[TheDuncanMorgan]

OK Andrew apologises for the delay but his internet was down and was unable to post. He said he would get it up tonight. Once his post is up, Fox has a collab that we did in advance that she will post up. After that the next round of posts will start. I will give the nation RPiers a list of who the NPC nations are allied to.

[PhoenixWhite]

huh.

These debates are uh.

very very split.

De Reimer and his political backing is undeniable, but Manshrew has the populist appeal.

I out of character and sitting here going 'huh' and scratching my head trying to pick things apart and work out how things are going to go. I assume another round of the debate will start now? We had initial statements, and now there will be some kind of rebuttal/rebuke from the primary contributors, then ultimately a deciding statement at the end. So, maybe, one or two more rounds of the debate?

Or are things just going to get handwaved as political bureaucracy and thick diplomatic dialogue, and TDM give us a list of how things split and work out.

I think this is what I am going to do. As I said before I would like to move the story along and TBH there isn't really much more that can be added to the discussion. Also it's not really fair on our individual characters who don't have much to do or say during these meetings. The Kingdoms will not declare there alliance until a week or so after the meeting; this way everyone would have a chance to get back to the safety of there own kingdoms. The Alliances are as followed:

The Imperial Concord
Supports Duncan De Reimer for the throne

House De Reimer
House Du Paraquette - Due to agreement made with Duncan De Reimer and loyalty to the crown
House Anjervine - loyalty to the crown
House Tuania - Due to agreement made with Duncan De Reimer
House Greensworth - loyalty to the crown

The Soldier's Entente

House Blackwell
House Sutharlan - Due to agreement with Giles Blackwell
House Staghain - Due to agreement with Giles Blackwell
House Neptune - Due to fear of House Blackwell

Name to be created by @AndrewCooper

House Manshrew
Supports Andrew Manshrew for the throne

House Humber - Due to loyalty to House Manshrew
House Glarmion - Due to loyalty to House Manshrew
House Mazeltof - Due to loyalty to House Manshrew and fear of De Reimer family

Independent kingdoms
House Wulfrick - House Wulfrick has stated that they will ally with whoever can offer them the best deal.

These said kingdoms are now under the control of either me PW or AC. I will send the kingdom's stats to you ASAP (I have gotten a new PC today and I need to transfer over my Formaroth data onto this PC first).

[MacabreFox]

@TheDuncanMorgan Our collab is posted, we can now carry on with the storyline for the rest of us.
