Credits and Outtakes - OOC Transition Thread (E3 -> E4)

[von Streusser]

So who takes the duties of the MDIS? the President?

Individual ministries were not folded neatly into the new cabinet positions, just forget the old ones and look at the portfolios of the new ones to see who does what. Defense, intelligence, all that is listed on the post Hawk linked to.

Also, Phalanx, I intend to respond to you later tonight. Back in law school this week, so life has been a touch busy, but I'm finishing up the week in about...4 hours, so should be free by then.

 

[HJ Tulp]

The Naval Quartermaster is the one that manages the Naval supplies and such right?

 

[von Streusser]

(the times and locations were provided but making up dock names and times would just complicate things unneccessarily unless the mods really want me to make up names )

See, now you're thinking like a mod. Long as you two are communicating and understand the important bits of the situation, we don't care.

 

[Amric]

Amric is on the move....No way is he going to let Levarge shut him up. Nope, no way.

 

[Voshkod]

There is some good use of drones in the current crop of IC posts; I point to J-L's secretary and Sterkarm's friends. However, J-L's boat driver is getting a little toward the edge; he's causing an action that J-L is not present for.

I don't say this to pick on J-L, just to give you all an idea of how we're going to play the drone rule. We think it will help bring some extra life to the game, but we recognize the possibility of abuse, and we will be watching. Screw it up, and we'll warn you. Screw it up too many times, and you will be prohibited to use drones for a while. And if too many people screw it up too many times, we will be forced to change the rules.

Good work in the IC thread, and thanks.

Just trying to get amric to my yacht with a logical back story. And ML can't take any chances since atm levarge doesn't suspect a darn thing from him. Not sure exactly what you mean by causing an action I am not present for? Can you specify the problem for clairity?

Well, we're sort of in a gray area. We don't want drones to take over the game. For the most part, we want them to be background setting, bartenders, secretaries, security guards, etc, and we want them contained within a single thread. That's why I said yours was sort of toward the edge - probably allowable, but getting close to too must autonomy. All I ask is that you all work with the mods on the drone issue, as we all find a limit we're comfortable with.

I had to type a little extra to stress the point that ML is being extra cautious on this whole deal. Atm he is not even a blip on the radar and thats best where he can help people. Didn't want to be completely passive so the ongoing display of safety is carried forward.

 

[Amric]

In my mind, Amric, O'Floinn, and ML look to be positioning themselves as people who wish to resist Levarge. There are others, but those 3 seem to be about to do serious collaborative conspiracy to get rid of Levarge. Of course over time I would expect the three to attempt to bring in others as well.

As Voshkod said, things have been moving fairly well and people are doing some very fine work...

Ya the key is the trio must take it cool and avoid any overt actions till they prepare, thats if time doesnt run short

Don't be so sure. He might not have been quite as vocal as some other folks, but he was Speaker of the Assembly when Levarge carried off his coup -- and like everyone else in government, he lost power and prestige and has a good reason to want revenge.

unlike many he wasnt poor nor famous solely cuz of politics, he didnt lose his prestige

 

[HJ Tulp]

What? Not a single reaction on the press statement? I'm insulted

 

[unmerged(10397)]

In due time my good HJ, in due time.

 

[Voshkod]

Guys, the GMs want to make something clear - there will be new elections as the second major event of EU4. New parties, new candidates, and all that.

Just an FYI.

 

[HJ Tulp]

What? Elections? Allready? Dammit

Time is passing quickly during the transition. We're already a couple of week on, if you read my last "state of Eutopia" post. GMs hope to have EU4 running very early in September.

But I don't want elections! That means freedom fighter Roger Forbes/Rick Blaine/Humphrey Bogart won't get to fight the fascists!

Hey Guys...just got back from a week of R & R.

Scanned the rules, quickly. Like what I see.

Let me know if I can be of help.

Look forward to Josephus' state funeral.
