Oof!  Dilemma!  Pretty sure giving up prisoners from the Citadel would be a breach of contract with the Weys, so...  Third option time.

As an OOC note, I will generally work to spread the kingdom's problems out amongst as many players as possible (so long as they aren't actually traitors), so if you think you have skills to offer, present yourself at Court.

Good idea Iituem, I do believe that was always the intention and design of the game.

Country table was expanded a bit, in anticipation of private accounts and businesses. If your name is not on there, that means that you don't have any personal wealth or income to speak of as of yet.

Just to elaborate on the money - most of the time when we operate with our "d" it tends to reflect big money and I try not to go below 0.25 for accounting purposes. We can safely assume that everyone in royal service is receiving some kind of salary/stipend, but given that this is a small government, I won't be including those. Besides living is not that expensive, unless you expressly demand to be treated like nobility, in which case I'll send all the receipts to the royal treasury  :P
On a serious note though, just be aware that all improvements might carry costs with themselves as well, and the bigger the country gets, I will start putting up administration costs. Maintaining court and living there will carry costs with itself as well, which I will start putting up once the kingdom is running from a restored palace and Erika is swarmed by nobles.

Not fond of double posting, but here it goes anyway:

Turn update I've promised for this weekend is delayed, as I can see that we have live discussions and actions that need resolving before then. At the same time, no more actions will be processed for this season.

E: After several weeks, the update is here. There are events in the background happening, but I withheld those to prevent info overload and to allow you guys to get on with your events. I might be active over Christmas as well, depending on work I have and whether I feel bored.

I was wondering where that went, pretty sure i posted an action for it, must have gotten lost in the other actions too.

Sorry about my absence, folks, much business in RL.  Have been sitting on a post for weeks now.  o.o

If anything,  royalty has its privilege to procrastinate :P On a serious note, I figured as much because I was inthe same boat for a bit. Only recently I got to push this game again.

Clever, Iituem very clever indeed. I see how you wrote up each meeting - Princess, Erika, Queen. Hopefully we can keep those quite well together, since all preliminary meetings are concluded.

To everyone else - Spring will follow these meetings, with (hopefully) coronation in whatever form Erika decides. Also, anyone skilled in photoshop? The map I have could use refreshing and centering on Elbreth and surrounding countries, I already have world map and coast map, but those aren't needed (yet).

In the interest of keeping this game alive, I will be considering some options - whether to replace Erika's player with someone else, turn her into an NPC or replace the character with someone else altogether.

As much as I hate the idea of any of these three coming to pass, I am not letting this game die just yet. Iituem, you are a great player and you are good in your writing, but the role you picked is one that is most demanding and truth be told, enough time passed to keep this going, I'm not fond of prodding people.

I know others are interested in carrying on as I inquired about it and I do have some things ready for them, as well as the orders they were given by Erika, but with her stuff unresolved the game cannot move forward.

Eh, my problem was I chose a character with little gravitas.

I volunteered to investigate Miring, for example...and got one-upped by an NPC and promptly ignored. :P By everyone. I literally don't have a presence in the game. It's sort of hard to play when everyone ignore your characters existence.

Well, not really, you are doing business with another player that isn't incredibly consistent.

Given that this is my first stint in GMing I was hoping for more but if this can't be refocused...

No, you're quite right.  I would happily surrender Erika as a character to another player, if any would like to take her over.  I'm sorry that I haven't been able to keep up, but a replacement leader is best.
