While We Wait: Boredom Strikes Back

In what sense do you need to watch Blackadder I in order to get the rest? I've watched II, III and IV in their entirety; so what have I missed out on?
 
For one Baldrick and Blackadder's roles were significantly altered, switched even really.
 
For the most part I agree with what Dachs said about Blackadder I not being up to the other three.

However, I must also point out the presence of Richard IV.
 
on a similar note: anybody have general opinions about the Flasheart character? didn't think he was particularly funny myself tbh
 
My opinion is that I should re-watch it. But I don't recall him making that big an impression on me one way or another, unlike the Red Baron.

How lucky you English are!
 
Considering wiki tells me he was only in 2 episodes, I doubt anyone would really remember him...
 
The Red Baron was in one, and he is easily the most memorable part of Blackadder Goes Forth for me. :p

For us, it is a mundane and functional item; for you, the basis of an entire culture! :lol:

Nonsense. Everybody remembers Wellington and he was only in one.
 
I am sure you have started NES before.. so why would yours be called ChuckNESI ?
 
Looks interesting Abby, although I have to say that running in MjMNES on the same time makes me think about joining later as, say, an European barbarian tribe, if it's possible.

It'll be a fresh start for my NESing.
So far, I've Moderated:
Fantasy Fresh Start "The Central Valley"- Dead on Arrival
The Great War 1- 7 Turns, Dead of Lack of Player Interest
Chuck's Return to His Roots: 8 Turns, Dead of Lack of Player Interest
Note: For the ones I updated, my most constant players were Forum-Gamers back when we were almost completely separated communities.
After that, I made rule sets for The Great War II (World War II Tech "Fresh Start"), "King NES" (A Succession high-resolution fuedal game of families, choosing NESers as heirs, and personal attacks) and a Daft-styled alternate timeline experiment (death by failish graphics, and way too few players to make the world alive.) Everytime I post a new ruleset and ask for interest, no one responded.

So; instead I will use an old Classic (or an Amalgam thereof) ruleset with the Old Classic NES: The Earth Fresh Start. As this will be a Fresh Start for me; not trying for new rulesets and all, actually trying to be semi-serious, and working on my consistancy, I will call it ChuckNESI: or maybe TerraNESI.(TerrorNESI :p)

As for the actual Ruleset, I am thinking of taking MjM's ruleset and fiddle around with it, add in the Three Cities Economic system with normal cities giving 1ep Urban and rural towns (blocks) giving 1/2ep rural/base income. Not sure how I want to split the economy into Urban/Rural/Trade ect, but I like the economic status I've been working on. For the Map, I am torn between the Classic Jason, the North King Map, or FC's beautiful terrain map.

For the game itself, I am thinking of not having BTs or ITs at all; just adjusting the turn lengths as we progress through history. I am thinking of starting at 3000 B.C. going 100 year turns to 1500 B.C. or 1000 b.c., then cutting it down to 50 perhaps.

EDIT: Oh look! Another short answer-turned ramble :p
 
Can anyone remeber what NES recently-ish had a player developing bear cavalry?
 
It was SKILORD in Eltnes.
 
Bear Cavalry were all the rage during the times of RTOR and "cartoonish" light fresh starts.

Don't choke on that Rhinoceros Armored Division.
 
There are bear cavalry in my nes. Players have yet to find them yet.
 
Oh all that kind of thing should be possible, its just incredibly hard. An there is not much to say, given the wrong roles, your bear cavalry will revert to a bear and dead soldiers situation ;)
