Lordship. I'm not overly invested in Pantheon, especially after how it ended on Corvus' side.


Could anyone tell me what the basic plot was? I haven't got the patience or time to read through 230 pages.


Damn my impatience.

[Tomcost]

I would love to see this back, altough I just read it, and barely contributed with it.

About the arguments, well, I usually don't bother to see with which people I am talking in forums, because, well, there is almost no actual social interaction, just argumentation, most of the time, with the occassional silly joke and weaponization of wierd stuff. I don't know if this happens to other forumites, but, as everyone just suggests in a game like this, without ony of the participants having any real characterization, I really don't see any point in even bothering to know who are you discussing with. But, well, anyway, maybe this only happens to me.

Also:

And, thankfully, there was no Udil.

(Didn't read the whole thread, but it was clear that he was an asshole, or at least considered as one)

[Gervassen]

Tantrum spiral, Iaman... Also, at some point, we got a feeling that locking was inevitable and let go.

I totally own up to the fact that I went too grim, GWG. Most of that rage in the last two pages resulted from my suggestion that we shouldn't care if our wife died, because we could marry better next time. That was not in-line with Stone's established persona, however, which is occasionally pragmatic and ambitious, grim when necessary, but not an outright monster. He loves Marna. I get it. Heh.

[IamanElfCollaborator]

I'd say the former was true, to both of those. It IS nice to have some people on here who you'd like to roleplay with often though.


@Gervassen That's not grim ENOUGH. We're on Bay12, and we call that grim?!

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'll see if I can type a summary without being ninja'd.

Sir Stone was a peasant who saved the life of the king. In gratitude, the king (who vaguely remembers Stone) knighted him and gave him the town of Feroshire to rule over. As Stone improved the town, he discovered rich mines nearby and began developing them. This attracted the attention of Count Foles, who is Stone's lord.
Not all was simple infrastructure, minerals, and intrigue, however; there was also love. Stone fell in love with and married Marna, the daughter of the duke (who is Foles's lord); they later had a little boy. Despite the happiness, there was also woe in the form of a couple assassination attempts by Foles (presumably) and a war. The former lead us to coming in contact with the Rat, an...unofficial aide and adviser, while the latter (if I recall) caused us to be promoted to Baronet. Or was it just Baron?.
Plotting against and by Count Foles was halted when he died under suspicious circumstances and was replaced by a claimant who was even less liked by the people and Stone. With help from the Rat, Stone found an illegitimate son of the old Count Foles and, with the support of at least some of the Count's subjects, installed him in the county.
That's all the major events that come to mind. I probably scrambled the order and left stuff out, and I know there are a lot of details left out (like Stone's glorious if dangerous hunts, or how the claimant was previously a knight who challenged us to a challenge that would take place when we were recovering from a bear injury), but that's the gist.

I totally own up to the fact that I went too grim, GWG. Most of that rage in the last two pages resulted from my suggestion that we shouldn't care if our wife died, because we could marry better next time. That was not in-line with Stone's established persona, however, which is occasionally pragmatic and ambitious, grim when necessary, but not an outright monster. He loves Marna. I get it. Heh.

I'm glad you're able to admit your faults and understand why they were such.

If this game does return, can we continue on from where it left off? I'd like to see what happens after that.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I think that's the plan.

[Maldevious]

The return would be a few months down the road from the last update. I have some things in mind.

[Maldevious]

The one plot point missing GWG was the massive plague currently devastating the land, which Feroshire is mostly avoiding to date.

[10ebbor10]

Spoiler: Irrelevant (click to show/hide)

The plague happened. Some people wanted to let refugees in*, other people wanted to enforce a drastic quarantine of our lands**.

*IMHO, a very bad thing to do. Fits with heroic good guy stereotype. (Which btw, we hadn't been playing as for a long time)
**The perhaps cruel, yet realistic and foolproof option

Oh yeah! People were discussing if we should let refugees in and what we should do them to make sure they weren't infected.

[kahn1234]

I've JUST now had a great idea to deal with refugees. Build a separate town on the edge of our lands solely for refugees. they dont have to have 1house for 1 family, more like barracks or bunkhouses.

that way, everyone wins.

we can also supply them (with food, tools etc) with a drop off point so we dont have to come into contact with them.

I really dont know why i didnt think of that before.

[Tomcost]

Suggestions should be posted in the game thread, don't you think so?

Not a terrible idea.

It's locked.

[Maldevious]

Before anyone gets too deeply into the plague issues, I want to say that if the game restarts, it'll be towards the end of the plague (as I mentioned, a few months in the future), as I don't feel like wading back into the arguments we had when we floundered. Don't worry though, there will be... events... to deal with.

That being said, I am definitely leaning towards giving this another go. I think the comments about flexibility and remembering it's a game are helpful to keep in mind.
