All the world's a casino.

Chapter 3: Abydos

As told with many pictures. And a moderate amount of words.

(All formats, fonts, layouts, and even this little disclaimer pillaged ruthlessly from phargle's
Knud Knýtling, Prince of Denmark (and other assorted tales))




1098-1099

Now that I'm no longer part of the Empire, I couldn't care less how this battle goes. Actually, I could, because I'd prefer it to go to the English, as weakening the Byzantines would be sweet. But that won't happen.

Now Abauj is slightly less completely worthless. Slightly.

Gentlemen, place your bets...now!

And if you were shorting on crazy-man and Knýtling-daughter's stock, today's your lucky day!

What's this? An alliance offer? Well, that's boring. But wait!


ScreenSave335.jpg


It's actually two alliance offers on the same day! And due to a technicality I can accept both! Hooray!

And the Civil War rages.

And if for some reason in the middle of an update you placed a bet for another stillbirth from Hajnal and Otto, you're wrong!



Seriously, betting on the lives of children? Just what kind of sick bastards are you? You sicken me. What's next? Are you going to derive entertainment from watching the slow mental demise of a less economically fortunate person? All of you make me sick. You won't believe your eyes when you read the next exciting episode of Real Men Do It Alphabetically, an AARgau!

I'll bet the island of Svalbard that the kid doesn't make it past three.

And I'll throw in Kerguelen Island that the crazy Knytling spouse has negative money when he dies.
 
And abydos remains so close, yet stays so far...
 
One thing is certain, that kid is dead… :(

A civil war in the Byzantine Empire that is good, maybe you can use that to your advantage and grab another province soon…
 
If only the muslims would go and conquer Abydos, that worked so well in Abkhazia.
 
I'm sorry, but this can't be an anonymous4401 AAR without vicious ridicule of all who read it.

But wanton cruelty is the sole domain of anonymous4501.

Careful, you're infringing on his turf, anonymous4401. And anonymous4501 is not to be fucked with. He's harder core than anonymous4402; and we all know anonymous4402 knocked anonymous4401 down a notch.

We will not speak of anonymous4402. Not after that incident, of which we will also not speak of.
