No problem. I can always write in a 'Foscari suffers a massive heart-attack' post, then lock the thread.
Is that anything like the animator sufferng a fatal heart attack, and the Black Beast was no more?
Honestly, I think Foscari is done for the moment. He's not really a hands-on sort of guy, unless Sforza is attacking the city and certain allies of the FC have had their heads put on a pike at the city gates...
Shawn, I'm sorry I didn't catch that one at all
Seasons of what?
LD, are you going to set up the location when you move ahead?
I'm caught up in "Wife's birthday" duties most of the day, but I'll get up a Frederik post later, depending on whether Cosimo is going to react to all his guests

Sorry, I got confused with all you Dutch types chatting. Timothy was the one who mentioned it.
OK, post is up. It's now May 31st, 1440. That should be enough advancement to have people where they are supposed to be. Due to the nature of travel time, and in the interests of having the various delegations moving around from city to city, I'll likely advance the timeline rather frequently, so I'll ask that we don't jump around with the dates too much to avoid confusion.
Now, where is everybody?

V,
Babylon 5.
Am I the only one who thinks the first season of Babylon 5 sucked big time? Wooden actors and inane plots. It turned me off so bad that I didn't watched it again until the second season was almost over. I was pleasantly surprised at how much it had improved.
I was a pretty regular viewer after that but I still shiver at the memories of that first season. Joe
Joe,
Season 1 wasn't as good as the 2-4 perhaps. But wooden? Nope. As for "inane" plots. The first few episodes were "get your feet wet" types. But by the time Mr Morden made his 1st appearance in "Signs and Portents," it was doing well, IMHO.
I always enjoyed Boxleitner as Sheridan (shocking actually, probably the only role I ever liked him in). But I do admit to a certtain curiosity about just how the series would've played out if Sinclair had stayed commander of B5 the entire series (as was originally planned). And I did think Michael O' Hare got the shaft by the execs on that. The funny thing was, when he went away in Season 3 to become Valen, those same execs were wishing he'd got more air time.
LD,
Sean's collecting dirt on Venice's intent.
Robert's in the tavern, or out in the field practicing.
Gatta's massing troops on the border of Mantua to retailiate for the horrific masssacre of our innocent citizens.

I'm just aroun the corner, living in Zaandam. De flop van de Randstad.
Babylon 5 was broadcasted so irregulary here it was impossible to tell what season was running. The serie would dissapear from tv after 10 episodes or so, only to suddenly reappear.

I stand corrected.
The plots were all right but the scripts were a problem. Some of the dialogue was so bad I groaned out loud at times. However it was as you say "get your feet wet" time. The first Star trek episodes had the same problems. Of course the special effects were first rate from the begining. I'm not sure how I feel about the last season. I still have mixed feelings about it.Joe
My opinion on Season 5 was it was a bonus. The story got told (aside from a couple minor elements and "Sleeping in Light") at the end of Season 4 because of JMS' fears of cancellation. It did set up the groundwork for the ever-popular rumor of the feature film nicely however. Especially since the long-established subject for the film would be the Telepath War.
I'm going to wait a bit to see where things stand with the Venetian plotting before I move to Gatta. And I'm waiting to see which way Cosimo jumps in a post before I have Sean feed him the intel.

Craig, I'm sorry for assuming too much on Cosimo, but I needed to get out of the standstill of the 16 of may, let me know if you need an edit.

All right, I think that brings most of my characters up to speed
Frederico is still in Venice awaiting order or punishment or whatever.
TheF, don't worry I had only just posted it, no hurries.

Arrgghh!!!
OK, I don't know how it happened, but I really goofed.
The ruler of Mantua at the time is Gian Francesco (1395-1444), the Marquis of Mantua. He's a Gonzaga. Apparently at one point they married into the de Medici family, so maybe that's where I got my info wrong.
Overall, it doesn't change much, beyond the supposed tie between Florence and Mantua. The situation becames strictly political, now.
I'll have to go back and edit a couple of my posts.
Sorry for any confusion...
