Kinda funny because I wanted to be Lyonnais, then I got moved to Poitiers, then back to Lyons.
germanicus12 can have Dijon, I'm not sure I'd be able to participate in this NES at the moment.

@Germanicus- I'm not sure why I put Iggy in stead of you in Dijon. The list was hastilly made, unfortunately, and I even forgot 1 duchy (Anjou) from the list. Iggy's abdicated, and you are back at Dijon. I apologise for the confusion.
@Tyrion- I completely forgot the Duchy of Anjou, where you were supposed to be. Sorry about the confusion.
@Everyone- If you read that last conversation with Yui, you'd see that he talked me into speeding up the pace of the NES considerably... After further ponderance afterwords, I remembered that the reason for my slow pace was so that the players and myself wouldn't have to kill themselves every day to get in orders/fully update. 1 day=1 month allows for 5 days of smaller updates followed by a larger update on the sixth day (Every 6 months taxes are collected).
If every day=6 months, that would be a full update every day which would take it's toll on both myself and the players, as I've seen from my previous NESes. Every NES these days have a complete update every week and a half or longer. Having smaller updates every day, followed by a bigger update on the sixth day should be enough to please all involved.
The question of "Well, dude... We've never going to get to the crusades!" I answer with, even at a pace of 6 months a day, the time it would take to get from 900 to 1096 would be a full year, and some change. For this we have a few remedies. One of these remedies is for me to make a BT after the NES has been open for a few months, and pass over a hundred and ninety years. The medieval times were rather slow paced times, with progress taking time.. Hence, there were many with great ability during these times, but no charlemagnes after the first.
Thus, I'm going to stick with my earlier decision to keep each day to be 1 month, and keep it manageable for both myself and the players.
EDIT-All this being said, I almost have the NES launch-ready.

Spanish March? There is a March in Spanish? Interesting.... oh unless you meant Spanish Marsh? Ahh now that is understandable. 
In case you did not get it, it was a joke. An English joke... I know a bad one so sue me.

Ok, ladies and gentlemen... The NES is pretty close to launch time. If you'd like to get pumped, be my guest. I'm going to launch an unfinished version of the NES, and complete stuff as time goes on. Unfinished like the map won't show alot of the cities for foreign countries that you guys have no fear of enteracting with untill way later.
Also, I've thought of an alternative to my 1 day here=1 month in NES. 1 day here=6 months, as Yui had requested, and every 3 years we collect taxes. This would allow for the NES to age much faster, and would also not kill the moderator/players, because there would still be 5 filler updates followed by a 6th full update. I look forward to feedback on this.

Sounds like something to revitalize my intrest in NESing 
On the turn amount: Sound good to me. Suspension of realism might be a bit required in terms of sieges, as I doubt you average castle can hold on much longer than three years against even a disintrested force. But it will keep the NES moving at a steady pace.
On a completely different account, I'm going to Italy from March 25th to April 4th, so chances are I'm going to be hooped for the whole period.

Excellent solution and what I wanted all along.

Alright, sounds good.. Well, I've got her ready to launch, but I'm wanting to start it at the begining of next week when I have more time to devote to the project. This also gives me more time to jack around with some stuff. Expect it to be posted Sunday. Remember, there will be 2 threads for the NES. One for updates, which only I will post in, and one for the diplomacy and stories of the NES, which we all will post in.

I still need for Crezth to fill out a template, and for Masada to put descriptions for his dudes. Otherwise I'm ready to launch. I could post stats and map that I've got thus far.. Is that in demand? Or do you guys just want to wait 'till she's posted?
