Cross, Quill and Sword

[wilcoxchar]

Hey guys. I'm in DC right now but my mom brought her laptop so I will be abe to play on Friday. Although I'll probably not play the entire session since that's 10pm to 2am here, but I'll most likely play the first two hours at least. Also, I'll be playing from my uncle's DSL connection so there shouldn't be many problems. So, I'll most likely be there unless I post otherwise. Cya then.

 

[Ccbasin]

Wilcoxchar,
Any time you can make will be good. Also, I saw your RTW AAR on Blood and Iron. Interesting, especially since I do not have the game.

 

[Kujy]

Ello boys, might be late a few minutes today since I have to, erm, wash my hair.

 

[King of Men]

Ack, that does it. I give up.

 

[Ccbasin]

KoM, we all do after tonight.

 

[Sid Meier]

that was rather crastacular. Hoepfully next week things will run smoother.

 

[wilcoxchar]

what happened?

 

[King of Men]

We crashed, mutliple times.

 

[King of Men]

Wait, CC, you aren't implying that our game is disbanded, right? I only intended to quit for the night.

 

[Ccbasin]

KoM,
No, I didnt intend that. If it came off that way, I am sorry. I just meant that I was done for the night too after all that frustration.
I have to admit, when it works, CK is a very fun game. You just have to work through the bad parts.

 

[Justinian_A]

Yeah, that was one blood-pressure raising experience. I hope vnet is more stable tonight, because I was extremely irritated last week.

 

[Ccbasin]

Wil, Kuhy, care to join us??

 

[Justinian_A]

Hey Sid -

Where's the save? I asked you to upload it to your FTP thingie after the game.

 

[Sid Meier]

The new save is now up srry had to go to teh bathroom.

 

[wilcoxchar]

Well, I'm gonna be gone the next couple weeks, and I might be able to get Villamar to sub for at least some of the times I'm gone, but I'm not sure. Anyway, have fun while I'm gone and if I'm AI hopefully I won't implode like I usually do normally.

 

[King of Men]

Well, speaking of implosions... Ouch! I must admit, though, as Kujy pointed out, that was really poetic justice. I don't know if you noticed, but that vassal of Kujy's that I annexed had not lost his Rebellious trait. It was him that gave me Realm Duress. If I hadn't grabbed that province, I would still be the second most powerful empire around. As it is, I've re-established control of the lands around Novgorod, and am preparing a campaign to crush the rebels in the Ukrainian plains. In fifty years I may have recovered most of my power.

 

[Kujy]

That'll teach you to steal my vassals dang it!
Oh, and happy birthday, I was too lazy to post in the OT thread so I'll just do it here.

 

[Sid Meier]

happy birthday KoM. I have no idea why 20 assasination attempts didnt work.

 

[Sterkarm]

I hate to invade another thread, but KES is desperately looking for subs in 40 minutes, please post in the KES thread, PM me, or IM me on AIM at BigEgoSteveo if you can sub, even if it's past the 40 minutes.

 

[King of Men]

Thank you kindly, gentlemen. Kujy, I suspect you of quite deliberately making a poisonous vassal and hanging him out for me to grab. I'm going to get you for that.

And ye gods, he had Int 3, no spymaster (and exiled a bunch of worried Rurikoviches over the matter, too!) and he survived twenty German assassins plus one event. He finally died of an illness. At least he didn't get excommed. I suspect I'll be reduced to the borders of Rus by the time this civil war is over.
