Fiona walked out with 100 GBs and a new identity and got to kill 'Mask' during the latest God-Smack Fest --- I'd say that's not squashed, but clearly what do I know ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Ha, allegedly. And that's any more than Khonceys accomplished how?

This is why I like our little talks ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
You make a statement, lose out on it and try to shift to a new topic, then you lose on that one as well, but you just keep trying to dig new holes thinking eventually something will come together and work out. It's incredibly fun and engaging and definitely helps pass the time for me![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Projecting. You spam garbage, line after line, angle after angle. And I know you're not doing this for fun, you're driven by fear, lust, and insecurity.You make a statement, lose out on it and try to shift to a new topic, then you lose on that one as well, but you just keep trying to dig new holes thinking eventually something will come together and work out.

Did you know Namel never swore vassalage? She agreed to a treaty which included her being 'considered to be' the vassal of Dhoesone for the purpose of two provinces, although it was only ever enforced in one of them. So, every province in her realm aside from that one remained sovereign--and that one remained low level, because this removed her incentive to rule it up.
In Flight, what you really wanted was to subjugate Areida, and you failed. You threw a tantrum instead, a tantrum you repeated and repeated and by all measures appear set to continue repeating throughout this game and the next. Even what you're doing now is part of your desperate efforts to either convince me and others that you're not as bad as you make yourself look, and that I am somehow worse than you, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Re: Cultue, Traits, and Evolution
You think I wanted to subjugate Areida. Rogr actually kept trying to give you holdings and lands at first, several attempts to do so. He felt sorry for Areida since she was clearly socially inept and a bungling war leader.
Not sure what tantrum you think happened then or later.
And I have no need to convince anyone of anything, you dig your own graves well enough without me even looking for a shovel to help you dig with (see Ecumenical Council and the desolation of Morionad).

Re: Cultue, Traits, and Evolution
No, he didn't try to give Areida lands or holdings. He tried to pack her army onto ships to become pocket mercenaries for him. Nice to see you veer into outright revisionism. It's novel after all the willful ignorance.
Funny how the 'socially inept and bungling war leader' managed to hang on until the end of the game while the supposedly man-who-was-not-that is the one who ended up literally at war with his own spouse.
You give the Ecumenical Council too much credit.

Re: Cultue, Traits, and Evolution
You mean this one where he literally offered to save AF in exchange for vassalage and helping AF get back on her feet again? You spin so many words you don't even recognize when genuine offers are being made.
Turn 7 was before the forming of the Grand Duchy. Had AF agreed she'd have had a province and holdings again. Well, she did agree, but if she had actually followed through with her agreement instead of turning tail when she realized she couldn't just steal the boats...
However AF's troops did not board because you realized Rogr actually was smart enough to recognize a thief and liar in advance and had the audacity and foresight to actually bring ships with enough troops to ensure you didn't try and steal the ships when we departed the Isle of Deeds. However, you then had AF and her remaining troops suicide into Corrach because that was clearly a better deal than actually having a province, holdings, and steady income again. Same offer was made to Shu Ai, and then Krake later.

Re: Cultue, Traits, and Evolution
Or maybe you meant this...
Oh wait -- this one is Krake basically saying he wants an army and a fleet to help him, but he has nothing to offer for it and so the collateral being asked for was AF as a hostage.
Dang this one doesn't show a tantrum yet either --- it's almost like Rogr wanted to help AF out, but she kept getting in her own way -- and then Krake kept doing the same kind of stuff...
There may be a trend here. The discussions were entertaining, basically you were always trying to get something for nothing and never followed through on any promises or agreements. And then oddly enough, no one ever expects you to follow through on them with any sort of regularity. It's almost as if your characters lie and scheme and claim all kinds of stuff -- and never deliver on any of it.
Hrm, I wonder if this is a trend for your characters....![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Re: Cultue, Traits, and Evolution
No, moron. AF's troops didn't board because the only circumstance under which she could board without violating her code of honour was the one in which she could take control of the fleet and use it to defend her people. You failed to describe it, so it looked like you'd sent a reasonable transport fleet. What you'd really sent was a fleet more than twice the size of Areida's army, with the excess ships loaded with marines.
Even if she could accept your offer in without betraying her people and losing her paladin status, the stupid huge fleet demonstrated that Rogr himself was a paranoid weakling who was overcompensating for something and she would have refused to board in disgust regardless. If he'd been brave enough to resist her attempts to betray him without the use of overwhelming force, or if he'd been shrewd enough to split his fleet so that Areida wouldn't get to see the ones full of marines until they reached open sea, then you might have been able to capture her. As it was, you blundered in-character--and out-of-character, you blundered by failing to adequately describe the fleet you had actually sent.
I understand part of the reason you sent such a huge fleet is because you didn't want the other navies in the area to get any ideas, but you spoiled your own game by trying too hard to win, just like always.
I was wondering what was taking you so long.

Re: Cultue, Traits, and Evolution
There may be a trend here, indeed. It's interesting how people keep expecting better from you than they actually get, but keep expecting worse from me than they actually get. It's almost like you get more credit than you deserve, somehow, and desperately try to discredit anyone who pokes holes in your alternate reality bubble.
