Let's not start giving out too much in-game positioning information that may or may not be available through regular channels. I don't think the BM GMs would look too kindly on our community if we started driving up tons of metagaming.

Edited my post to mask the actual CS of Morek's army in the spirit of fair play.

Attention everyone on Dwilight:

Go nuts 

Woah, hey guys, I hope we're all still being pals here.

Let's not start giving out too much in-game positioning information that may or may not be available through regular channels. I don't think the BM GMs would look too kindly on our community if we started driving up tons of metagaming.

Any neighboring realms that haven't been scouting and know that Morek/Libero isn't at home has grown complacent. This is a golden opportunity for the minor realms that could never stand up to them alone and it would really shake up the the island.

But fine. In the spirit of fair play, I will take out the positioning of the enemy armies.

While this thread is breaching the forum surface like the modest dolphin it is, what exactly is the situation regarding Asylon and everyone else? I have a noble in Astrum, but he's not a member of Sanguis Astroism so he probably misses out on a lot of the political stuff. Is there some kind of stand-off? I'm kinda hoping for a long, drawn out war of some kind to hurl men into

Basically, everyone hates Summerdale. Folks in Summerdale aren't too happy about it.

Ello, Lord, Senator and Marshal of Terran here.

Astrom isn't attacking Asylon outright, they're defending Kabrinskia. Though even that is practically pointless because the King of Asylon decided to lose his marbles and now Asylon is in disrepair. Terran and Kabrinskia have just agreed on a peace treaty, Allison the Mad is stepping down from leadership of Kabrinskia and (get this!) joining Terran (I volunteered my region to host her since no one else wanted her, for teh lulz/!!SCIENCE!!), and going to a life of religious pilgrimage.

So, Terran is back to peace, Allison's going to be chillaxin' in Vassar, and we're allowed to defend Asylon by the terms of our peace treaty.

Everythingwentbetterthanexpected.

The weird thing is, something big is going on. BIG. Something Allison and a few others know about vaguely...

I have a strange feeling something HUGE is happening behind the scenes that will shock Dwilight to its core... Get ready.

So guys any suggestions on non theocratic realms if and when Summerdale goes belly up?

[Zangi]

Asylon is non-theocratic.  But yes, we do have a king that likes to do stuff.  It makes it interesting.

Also, fun fact:
Astrum is infact outright attacking Asylon, they landed troops in the far north of Wallershire.  One of Asylon's holdings.
I forgot what they are doing there, might be a takeover.  If that isn't outright attacking, I don't know what is.

My character plans on going anywhere that isn't dominated by Sanguis Astroism. Going to follow my liege, but I'm hoping for someplace way down south. A whole new culture, a whole new beginning and all of that.

The only serious downside is the long travel time to get there. That'll be an experience too, I'm sure.

If anything, come to Terran. Truinism is strong here. I've got an opening in my region for a new knight, as well as a number of other regions.

How is the player culture in Asylon?

If Asylon has a decent amount of player interaction and roleplay, then I might head that way soon. Any country daring to attack the Astrocracy can't be too bad. Libero is too quiet to remain here long-term, unfortunately.

While Summerdale's fall is sort of a given, it will be a fairly bloody given for the attackers. When you have the entire strength of a realm concentrated and turtling, it's probably going to cost a fair few men to take the place apart.

The point of this is, who will take the losses? Morek or Libero? And then what? Two expansionist empires with their main forces beside each other. Who took the losses, who is looking weak now? Well, obviously Summerdale, but who else? Religion is a fine thing, treaties and alliances are based upon it. But I think that the peninsula is still going to be quite an interesting area with the land grab and having three large, strong empires now butting up against each other.

Final stages of WWII in Europe kind of interesting. Peace is great, but so's cold war........

Actually, the expanionist empire was technically Summerdale in this case. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Libero is not really a dynamic place, and Morek is a stodgy blob that probably hasn't had a war since Thulsoma in 2010, in which... they intervened to help out Libero Empire and roflstomp Thulsoma.

If you look on the BM forums, all mentions of Summerdale and Libero Empire are in two small disused threads. This war has been a big deal to us newcomers, but to the wider world, the north is a place where nothing much happens.

Hmm... oh yea...  I suppose that Asylon's interaction and roleplay is mostly sporadic.

You might get more in a more theocratic place I guess...

I've read a bit on the BM forums. Regardless of what happens in Summerdale and the astroist empires, I sort of think that it will be a little more interesting than before. There's things happening at least.

Even with Summerdale's current position in-game, there's certainly been some excellent SMA RP'ing going on. Even if my character does get killed off, I sort of think that this will be one of the highlights of my BM experience for some time to come. Thrown into the fire, but enjoying every minute of it. For a bit more than a week it's been worthwhile logging in every time. It's probably the best time to join up really. Peace is boring.

I've got a noble in another world, and while it's been activity since day one, it's not an SMA world. It's moving quickly, but not in the same way. For all Summerdale's flaws, I think a lot of people will miss us if the peninsula stagnates again.
