As in a third of the plot/things related to the plot. Beyond that, its a great series.
Found the first book in my local library actually. Got sucked in pretty quickly and went through them all.

If you want to get into the entire Medieval/fantasy politics and atmosphere, this series will do you well. A lot of memorable characters, memorable scenes and the plot itself is pretty good, since you don't expect that most things will go the way they go.

Lemme guess from the exclamations of by the Cycle, that the main characther A.turns into a malevolent dictator, B. Kills a whole bunch of people or commits an atrocity, C. Marries his sister, D.Becomes an egomaniac, E. is heroic but dies young, F. Ushers in a golden era.

Which one is correct?

A book I really liked for its medieval setting was Pillars of The Earth, by Ken Folett/Follet(However it's spelt). :) That's a great book.

Ain't gonna spoil it. besides none of those fit exactly with Jamie. You will seriously have to read the books if you wantto know.

Yoink: its actually Follett. double t and double l. I got the book on my shelf, still didn't read it, but my mum loved it. Also got World Without End.

And if anyone looks for PC shenaningans, you need to read Flashman series.

There isn't really anyone main character.

But if we go with the "main character" then he is none of those.

Yeah, haven't read it in a while. But you should read them! They're both good. :) I found them purely by chance, and they are excellent.

CG: with respect to the MMO side of things, as much as any automatisation of tasks would help, you are right: things like corpse weapons or actions that are usually a staple of most RP posts are not easy to turn into algorithms. Besides, its only trade that causes most problems, so if any stuff like taxation, colonization and mathematically definable varialbes could be pinned under that then we could do mor proper RP'ing.

Actually these shouldn't be too hard to automate...if only i could get 4hours of unmolested time to DO THAT

Well, what you do with your time is not my thing. Besides, you are not obliged to do these things. You volunteered yourself.

Huh...it seems like that entire summary was a bad family feud. With armies....
I don't see any problem except maybe if Taricus plays as Kara...then...HAH.

I'd be more than happy to do it, i just never have the time to sit and do it. It's actually a pretty quick thing to add to our merchant sheet - provided all trades were added to the sheet each season

Epic barfight coming up
Logged
That last gobbo would stand there, missing an arm, punctured in a kidney, liver, and spleen, fading in and out of consciousness at the far end of where the drawbridge would go, and his last sight would be the drawbridge dropping down and smashing him like a bug.

God DAMN I love this game!

It's been roughly two hours since the barfight began.

Is it still going?
