This Is Madness 2 - Imperium Sine Fine (Interactive Mega Campaign)

[Ponce_The_Great]

I never though there would be a AAR so good it would induce me to create a account. I LURK NO MORE! I am here to join the madness, and I'll have a senator soon. Perhaps a lowly arastoi from a tiny peninsula with a gift for gold...

More sacrifices for the Khan I mean...welcome friend. Join the Reds, we have purged most of the crazy and heresy and we will save the Imperium or kill everyone trying.
Question for the game mechanics, are there three centers of Angelodulist reformation working on the Imperium now or do they travel with her?

Since if there are three centers of reformation working full speech on the Imperium I feel like we'll be mostly converted in a matter of years

I'll post a more lengthy response when I'm not on phone but I think I speak for everyone here with this response:

Is the Imperium truly in the darkest timeline, or is there a universe in which the imperium is even more screwed?

 

[DragonOfAtlantis]

The darkest would be the xenoi ruling the world.

 

[Mach Twelve]

Is the Imperium truly in the darkest timeline, or is there a universe in which the imperium is even more screwed?

For starters, the OTL, because in 1453 the Queen of Cities got the works, and its no ones business but the Turks...

 

[House Doukas]

Then the Horde attacked.

On 4 April Anno Domini 1565 thousands of horse-lords poured into the lands controlled by Moldau.

Czo, I think you reposted the previous screecap here

 

[CzokletMuss]

Czo, I think you reposted the previous screecap here

Goddammnit... Fixed - there were two reposted screenshots in place of these:

Perhaps I should've postponed the release by a day or two to avoid such silly mistakes. Oh well.

[Attalus]

I think you wanted to say Egyptians instead of saying twice Italians
E: also it's time for the Whites to shine. Such an opportunity will not be seen for decades to talk about RELIGION

 

[CzokletMuss]

Nah, it's good - basically I present you with two ways of dealing with this (Synodos or trial).

IMPORTANT
As I promised few weeks ago, there will be an important change of the Senate rules of procedure which should be announced tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Considering how many of these resolutions concern the same topic in a different way (for example 2, 4 and 5) I forsee a great divide in the next session.

I think you wanted to say Egyptians instead of saying twice Italians
E: also it's time for the Whites to shine. Such an opportunity will not be seen for decades to talk about RELIGION

I wonder when the whites will lose the label of the religious Demes, considering that it took quite a small place on the agenda of the last senators...

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!

But this will be really interesting to see which way the senators go, and to see what our friends in the dynatoi will want us to do.
Not to mention we've got a number of Italians in the senate...

 

[Attalus]

I wonder when the whites will lose the label of the religious Demes, considering that it took quite a small place on the agenda of the last senators...

Well I think most people here will agree that this whole affair is primarly interesting for the Whites who while not as religious as the first were, are certainly the Demes the most closely linked with the Church.

[DKM]

I hope the Angeloi host an ecunemical council to adopt the reforms of St. Sophia Angelos.

 

[Mach Twelve]

I hope the Angeloi host an ecunemical council to adopt the reforms of St. Sophia Angelos.

I hope the synod (without the heretic and her followers, of course) will rightfully condemn the new teachings as heresy, and we condone the imprisonment and trial of the Lightbringer to have her purified by the flame. We will not need the archons and the patricians of Italia present during either of these affairs for they are only the concern of the Emperor and the Holy Church so they alone will be present.

 

[CzokletMuss]

I hope the Angeloi host an ecunemical council to adopt the reforms of St. Sophia Angelos.

Well surely the Synodos will-

St. Sophia Angelos

St. Sophia Angelos

St. Sophia Angelos

 

[DKM]

Meh, you're the REAL heretic for having a meme of a guy associated with a holiday made up mostly of pagan traditions. All hail the Angeloi! All hail Saint Sophia!

 

[zenphoenix]

No...we are all heretics.

 

[Mach Twelve]

No...we are all heretics.

Who must be purified with fire. For the Imperium.
