**OOC** The A & B Team Boast & Taunt Thread.

[Alwin von Arlt]

Yeah if I would of found a place to put a colony, heck ya I would of, but my explorer didn't find anymore, not much I could do but set something up that one day would be able to expand us out some, plus have enough manpower to destroy our enemies colonies near by... plus... our 3rd COT... and all that with no additional BB... the area isn't the richest, but with like 5 years, I tried what I end up doing in my Irish/Scottish games, and it worked out =)... not as well as it does sometimes, but overall I'm satisfied with the reign

 

[Peter Ebbesen]

Just noted the A-team's Loredano's world map of 1521. That's a rather smallish Venetian presence in Europe, really

 

[unmerged(4007)]

Yeah, I know. No Ottomans, unified Italy, only 1 province of Hungary, and the rest of the Balkans unified except for one province that is a vassal.

And of course, we don't take things on the "Repeat conquest plan" either. What enters the A-Team's Great Venetian Co-Prosperity Sphere stays there.

As opposed to certain B-Team conquests, which have to be repeated on a nearly annual basis.

Wait and see....

Btw what's so impressive about a 1 province Hungary or a unified Italy?
And I'll consider the reign of the madman Agostino an aberration

 

[unmerged(4007)]

OH, we know you'll make some conquests. But they'll all be released as vassals or lost outright via rebellion within 10 years by your successors.

Wait and see.

As for aberrations, you haven't been reading the AAR too closely have you. Anyone recall STEIERMARK?

*shudder*

Hopefully not

I've completed my turn now and decided to peek at the B-teams BB as it was when I took over. At that time it was 99. I daresay it is higher now

There is no reason whatsoever for the B-team to consider BB points now, 100 BB or 200 BB, it is all the same to the AI, and if they manage to lose my few conquests on normal/normal I'll be amazed. It will take a truly momentous dosis of bad luck - or incredibly bad rebel management skills. (Such as an inability to check the ledger and sort the Venetian provinces by controller)

I sure hope my successors won't be such warmongers though, since Venice needs manufactories, conversions, and infra5

As for aberrations, you haven't been reading the AAR too closely have you. Anyone recall STEIERMARK?

That doesn't count. It was an act of God!

Another disposable post...

PE, your PM-box is full...

EF1,

Pls check your in-box. My PM's are starting to get moldy in there. Just wanted to discuss the handoff between our Doges for the storyline I'm working up.

Thanks

Erm... check my... wha? I have an "in-box"? What/where is it and what's in it?

EF1

~I know I'm usually a wise-ass, but I'm being serious this time. Don't get used to it.

You're serious

In that case you deserve a serious answer: user cp/private messages.

pm = private message

(you can also get there by other means such as linking from the main forum)

You've got a total of 20 message-slots divided between inbox and sent mail. Check your pm-inbox once in a while, and delete stuff when you are approaching 20 messages.



(And if, against all odds, you weren't serious.... Then await the Exquisitors of the Order of the Lamp Martial when you least expect it)

 

[Edgar Francis I]

Heh... um. Found it. Thanks, PE.

Hey, did you guys know you could send messages to one another as an extension of this very message board? It's very handy. I recommend you all try it.

Apologies to Warspite and Backpack. I wasn't ignoring you, honest.

[Faeelin]

Hehe.. this is a bit embarassing, but I've lost the list of emails. Could some one send it to me again?

 

[Norgesvenn]

The A-team are sh**ting themselves...

Good going, Monsieur Ebbesen! I, for one, is looking forward to disbanding the army and release Europe as vassals in my three year-reign.

No, wait... that's a different game.

 

[unmerged(4007)]

BAH! The A-Team has no fear. As I said, we only need to make our conquests ONCE. Thanks you.

Soon, we will be embarking on our glorious crusade to free the Holy Land. Why?

HE WILLS IT!

Ah, so you're prepared for the Intifada revolt risk for the next 2800 monts (command = revoltrisk which = 118) ??

I'll hold the crusading until there's a game about crusading. Like "Crusader Kings"...

There's something you've misunderstood right there. The Transcendant One thinks that an A-team Invasion of Jerusalem for purposes of ethnic cleansing and possibly genocide is very unserene.

 

[unmerged(4007)]

Ethnic cleansing? BAH.

Conversion to the TRUE FAITH. YES.

HE WILLS IT!

Revolt risk, schmrolt schmick. We're far more stable than OTHER versions of Venice I could mention.

HE WILLS IT!

 

[kurtbrian]

hmmm, I think I have a hunch where what you next reign will be about

kurtbrian,

Only if my predecessor leaves me the freedom to maneuver. (PLEASE! PLEASE!)
