That is not the point, the Paradox Forum screwed up my account. This forced me to jump through hoops to regain total access to the site. Because of that I ended up missing a lot of stuff, this included. It is annoying and frustrating, and finding out I missed something I was looking forward to being a part of just opened up a wound.
No worries - it's not your fault after all, so if you want to attend the Synod just post the statement like the others.That is not the point, the Paradox Forum screwed up my account.

Sure. But pls no OT (current political matters for instance), in particular SW spoilers. You are free to discuss everything Byzantium-related as wellCzoklet, we're allowed to speculate the story you're writing on thread, right?
Fixed.((I do not appear in the excel as attending the Synod @CzokletMuss ))
Use the Senate link in my signature.Can someone repost the Link to the list of the participants of the synod? I can't find it at the moment.
Fixed.
Use the Senate link in my signature.
Also if anyone is interested - here's a very interesting paper on history of Byzantine Ravenna.
Nice.Sure. But pls no OT (current political matters for instance), in particular SW spoilers. You are free to discuss everything Byzantium-related as well
Nice.
So, Mandromenos' dagger interests me. At first glance it just looks like plan B if I botch the duel, but if Colombo actually dies, that would be redundant. Chekov's gun and all that. And unlike Komnenos' one which can be just symbol (is it? Can Colombo pick weapons?) it was practically forced on us.
Then Nokas turns toward you and suddenly you see a dagger in his hand.
- Your first task will be to infiltrate the Blue Demes. You will join them, spy on them and gain their trust. Whatever you learn about their plans you will report to me. And in case it will be necessary... - he hands over the dagger - ...you will dispose of anyone who will become an obstacle if and only if I give you such order. Do you understand?
So this means this dagger is not necessarily even used. Maybe I'm overthinking this. And it's Mandromenos who has it now, it's his decision. But why waste it? Are there other glaring targets? Di Capponi, heretic Arrius... Nokas? Nicky himself? Because giving someone power means it can be used against you.
Or maybe it's a trap. Just because Nokas gives a dagger doesn't mean one is free to walk around with it in Senate. I could see Mandromenos arrested in instant if president gets alerted.
Any thoughts?
Well, maybe you had something special. It was very civilized meeting, no one hit the table to drop the secret messages or anything.I have a theory that the Blues, or at least I, wasn't supposed to side with Dalassenos, and there would be a pre-prepared scene in which you stab me at the Blue Demes meeting, which is why the Blues didn't get anything special.
Or because Czoklet hates the Blues/me, which I think is the more likely answer by far.
I do agree with the Chekov's gun analogy. The dagger should have some significance. That doesn't necessarily mean it will though.
No worries - it's not your fault after all, so if you want to attend the Synod just post the statement like the others.
That statement would be???? I am unsure as to what I am looking for since the last page that I got a notification about about was 370 or so.
Before the Blue Demes, I would like all players to declare in this thread whether their characters go to Ravenna or not
Please use this template to make your intent absolutely clear:

That's my thought exactly. Nokas's words imply that I am exempt from the Senators can't harm Senators rule. I can kill whoever, but there will be consequences if I do so without permission.
As for who dies.... well they all are doing to die. Purging of the Blues 2: This Time, We All Die!
Someone better frisk the senator to make sure he doesn't fill the basement with gunpowder and decide to purge the Synod.
Duly noted.Senator of the House Mojmirid attends to Synodos in Ravenna
Hey, it's no fun to be guessing if all we do is think same thing.That's my thought exactly. Nokas's words imply that I am exempt from the Senators can't harm Senators rule. I can kill whoever, but there will be consequences if I do so without permission.
