Come to Hammetsett in Atamara, we have need of loyal berserkers to combat the enemies of Odin!

I see no reason to avoid Dwilight. Hardcore RP is, after all, the best of the best.

Asbjorn is ready to fight for this ticket to Valhalla!

[MehMuffin]

Am I the only Bay12 player in Morek? Unfortunately, I don't really know how to play, so I haven't been able to join the army... yet.

[Vel]

I'm in Libero, so we're at least allies. ;p Haven't really been posting here since most of the B12ers are part of Summerdale. Don't want to look weird or suspicious or the like.

[Ehndras]

Eh, I was in Morek before, a bunch of douchebags.

Also, FUCKYEAH ASBJORN! Go to Shanandoah, please. 3 armies rading Lyton, my homeland lmfao

So you guys are the ones to blame for my poor country getting massacred  They just trashed an already-defeated retreating "army", it wasn't nice at all! (You guys totally dominate us haha)

But no, please talk! Would be interested in hearing a Liberos and Morek perspective. For example, what caused the sudden change in loyalties of that Orris fellow from Liberos to Morek? That was strange. And do you guys all hate us (in character) or is that secret?

Don't give anything away, of course ... er, not that there's anything we could do about it. We're too tiny. Lots of nobles, no money or military.

I think I might make another character to join you on your island there Ehndras, where should I go for an estate? Don't want to repeat my "play for a week with no income" Fun.

[Vel]

The loyalty-shift is not something I am comfortable as to whether I should discuss OOCly at the moment.

In character, we certainly see you as an invading army seeking to steal our lands on an age-old dusty claim that has little to do with your realm's current leadership, and everything to do with your realm making a land-grab.

(I say that in terms of 'exactly what my character would say if you deemed to ask him in an IC message; I don't want to mix OOC and IC too much.)


Though just as you all, that's my interpretation from recent events, since I joined roughly around the same time you all did. I'm only privy to things that a low ranked noble would normally be privy to, not to any kind of high government super secret information. I probably wouldn't post at all if I had that.




Edit - Edits nulled since my information was incorrect.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

we certainly wont have many estates once you're done doing whatever you are doing with us

[SeaBee]

Hah, yeah. Joining Summerdale now is joining the side that has zero chance of winning even one battle. For awhile there (before Morek moved in), I thought we had a chance for some fun fights. Oh well.

Now we find out if Morek and Liberos are going to draw this out or just end it quickly. I don't think I'm giving anything away here when I say that most of our nobles are inexperienced, penniless, and leading half-naked bands of starving peasants against the Space Marines. !Fun! times, as you can well imagine!

Thanks for the reply Vel, no problem (re: the loyalty shift). Was just curious. I'm actually glad we have some people from Bay 12 there, and sorry for flooding the thread with Summerdale tears 

[Vel]

Well I presumed you guys were somewhat thinly stretched.

To my totally amazing credit* I did not actually say anything to my Libero compatriots; the only way they'd know I was B12 was that I just posted here this evening, if they thought to look.



* Credit may be slightly* overstated for personal egotism purposes


*slightly* may be a somewhat inaccurate descriptor


Actually I just didn't want Libero's noble's (if they'd seen this forum) to think I was some kind of spy before I'd had a chance to prove myself by being in their realm for a reasonable while during a sensitive period, nor for Summerdale's nobles to feel like they had to keep their words tighter here than would be customary for B12 for fear of spies. I really enjoy that BM is a very 'IC' game, and I wouldn't want to curb anyone's OOC discussion or enjoyment of the game for that reason.


Edit - Which isn't to suggest that I was being a totally Secet Libero Spy on your topic by not representing my allegiance outright, though sadly I have no proof of that. But I'm at least a Bay Watcher (registered '07) in terms of what I've got to lose for community reputation. Not that I've got much of any. I certainly won't gain any by betraying B12 over a web page game, though.

Edit 2 - I don't know how a country being destroyed works, but I assume that nobles from it can pledge their allegiance to other nations in the wake of their country's destruction, aside from possible capture/execution for being a high ranker?

That certainly adds, for me, a high degree of enjoyment, because a country's lowest levels may not hold as much regard for their leadership if the invading country has better treatmet.. or they may fight all the harder for their rights to remain independent. But more than anything, it provides an interesting, post-Antebellum South-style period of healing if a nation's lands are conquered or re-conquered in their entirety and the rebellious nobility remain. Having the enemy nobility be arbitrarily wiped out (and, in game terms, have to start over) would be incredibly boring in terms of possible upsets or surprise turn-arounds of power.


Edit 3 - From freely available information, I can tell you for sure that Libero used to be part of the Morek Empire before ideological differences separated them. It is not impossible, as in Some Games, that internal stife can lead to major conflict. I imagine a lot of it is about throwing caution to the wind, declaring Losing Is Fun, and placing your support behind someone who isn't the 'rightful leader'. B12's solidarity in terms of the concept of Losing Is Fun could be quite an upset force in civil conflicts of any realm.

[Megaman]

A random question, is it worth going around hunting for the undead while your realm is not on campaign? Or is it a bad idea to waste my men?

[Ehndras]

...I am not a happy Viking. My people in Lyton are getting WTFPWN'D.

"Tara forces are killing, raping and burning in Lyton!"

[Ehndras]

LOL.

Decided to sent my trollish goodbye message to the whole realm before I left. I was 16 hours into the trip, and suddenly...

Arrested!   (just in)
personal message
You have been arrested by the men of Alanna Anaris, Countess of Santoo while you were in Giask.

[danaris]

Yep. Try to troll nobles as an adventurer, and that's the kind of treatment you can expect 

(And yes, Alanna's my Dwilight character.)

[Ehndras]

Not sure how the hell you imprisoned me though, I was 16 hours into my boat-ride. Mechanics seem a bit broken there.

Yeah, that does need to be fixed. I know for a fact that that piece of code hasn't been touched since Adventurers gained the ability to do normal (ie, non-instant) travel over long routes. (I know this because I wrote the code for non-instant Adventurer travel )
