Thank you for reading, Judge!

Yes, at least I have some manpower... this prevented the Pope to kill me during my playing test!:D

Tomorrow night, for me, only until about 22h (20h or 8pm to you). The guy who splits the bedroom with me usually goes sleeping by this time, so it is not good to be using the computer by this time. We already fought about it once... :p

But, from Friday afternoon/night to the whole weekend, that's fine for any hour of the day (or dawn)!!

I think that, for having no problems when talking about the time (I mean, the hours), it would be nice if we talk on the GMT clock. So that other people who see our discussions may get what happens.

My time zone is GMT -3:00 and I suppose that yours is GMT -5:00. Just in case.

Forgot to say. By this, we say that we want to start our playings at 4:00 GMT, which is 1:00 for me and 23:00 for you.

Hm am I spotting an upcoming Holy League against the Turk here? Well Vlad could need some help and Genoa has some unstable possessions in the Black Sea so why not.

The advantages for Naples is perhaps harder to grasp but later on Naples could use some friends when trying to conquer Sicily from Aragon.

Genoa more beautiful than Rome or Venice
:D

Yes, Judge. Thank you for reading! Naples is a difficult play at beginning. They start with almost no money, low support limit, small army of most infantry, no navy... and the Pope most always DoW Naples in 1420! But I have already figured out how to win as Naples. It's not that difficult, it's more like a gambit when you play chess. You give up some initial security, or good position or situation, in order to take an advantage of having some breathing room at start.

But... let's see when we play it!:D

Our first play is planned to be on Saturday at 04:00 GMT.


EDIT: spelling errors

Thank you, Alexandru. We're working up to the game...a little back story and all that good stuff...now if Anibal can just get his proxy server issues solved we'll be good to go...

Nice little plans you are making up and I must say that the description of the dinner was magnificent.

Unfortunately I read it before my lunch and now in comparison my unpretentious lunch will seem like something that a tramp would not even touch:D

Thanks, Judge. Sorry about that...but such a dinner should be magnificent, shouldn't it?:) Besides, sometimes lunch should be unpretentious, keeps you humble...:)

Thanks Judge...We had been hoping to play on Friday Night, but reality decided differently. A setback, but one we shall recover from. The Fallback position is tonight, but we will all have to wait and see if it works out.

New update in the AAR. Unfortunately we were unable to play either Friday or Saturday night due to Nalivayko having some server problems and Anibal still having some proxy server issues.

nalivayko may have gotten it fixed, however. LordLeto and I did do a play test on Saturday night with myself as the host. It went fine until a crash after about ten years.

The hope is that next weekend we will indeed be able to truly start playing. At least the background story is moving along nicely.
