While We Wait: Part 2

[Symphony D.]

And what the hell good does that do me when you're one of if not my primary markets? Off the record I did it for PR (OOC) and because it was the right (IC) thing to do.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Meh, it's simply weakening a rival, that's all. And giving me a potentially upset minority in the case that you and I would ever start fighting for some reason (though I can assure you, it wouldn't be I who fires the first shot in that conflict. I (OOC) know better than to pick a fight with Sym and (IC) am a fairly peaceful nation anyways.)

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Bah. You have no sense of humor, any of you. Or of history, methinks. The classical reference is to a sort of demon that would appear to overeager summoners or diviners during the Middle Ages and tell them gruesome details about their future. Guess what then happened.

A more recent reference for "bad stuff will happen to you and there is nothing you can do about it and I will be your doom", etc, is available here.

Edit: And so that I don't double-post...

You fail to realize, Erik, that a player who is successful manipulating others will do it well enough that you will have no idea what is going on, thereby rendering this entire list useless.

After all, you can't see what happens in the shadow unless you are deeply entrenched in it yourself You would have to be in on every little "diplomatic nasty thing" for this list to be even half accurate.

You want to talk about "entrenched in the shadow"? This is outside the game, and using anything I say constitutes metagaming, so I can reveal that yes, I've been planning things that are either illegal, or openly hostile, or in violation of a treaty or promise I've made, with everybody but the USC, Huris, and Wrath. The USC comes at the top anyway because Symphony is playing it, Iggy has confessed to being a poor plotter, and Wrath is a warlike, xenophobic faction that doesn't plot very much. So I think my list is correct.

(Anyone who doesn't remember plotting with me can ask for a reminder.)

So BJ mentioned 7 wars.............any ideas on the what/where/who on them.

I can think of the Italian War, A Military Action I took against an NPC, Greece v. Ottomans, The German Wars, The War of the Isles, but what are the other two...?

He could be putting the war with Bohemia-Hungary as seperate to Bavaria's expansion, there could be someone else attacking Greece, the Crusades could have picked up again, Thailand (bite me, Alex, I'll call it Thailand or Siam til the day I die. ) could be invading someone...the list goes on. I can't think of anyone who doesn't have a military action they might want to start.

But if you want proper speculation, I'd say the other two have something to do with the New World, and India. Probably Spain vs Everyone over in the Americas, and Silver vs Everyone in India.

This update has evolved as it was written. Some events have overwhelmed others. My original war list has changed. Europe as usual is a mess, but we do have a few other hot spots now.

The anticipation is killing me

 

[Abaddon]

The update, it comes!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I always used to think that 'party' had a meaning between colons.

Should I tell you to get back to work or something?

 

[Abaddon]

arty: then!

I know what the phrase party,party, dance-dance means in my head.

Yes you should tell me.. its getting a bit ridiculus how much little work i have done compared to how much i should have done the last few days

 

[Swissempire]

What time EST is BJ's time?

And I really AM going to have convulsions! I have my AP European History final exam tommorow at 1, but i'll stay up until the update is up.

[Shadowbound]

He's in New Mexico, which is two hours ahead of me. It's 11:00 for me now, so about an hour to go.

 

[Nylan]
