It was meant to be equal parts megalomania and cultiness, I wasn't really putting emphasis anywhere.

Yes, but the discussion has become far more pedantic since then.

[Zayuz]

Sorry I'm late guys! Finally got it done.

I assaulted 99B and assuming that lizard jesus didn't rise up and repel my invasion it should be mine now.

[woolli264]

Woolli, so I can know for a potential writing piece how would noble prisoners of war be treated by the Onyx cultists? It seems Egan and Calvin may have ended up in enemy hands depending how losses are determined for Sir Blackhall and I'm intrigued to write a piece on their capture especially if they might be held together.

Edit: Also, my units in 115 were intended to reinforce Besina.

So far it's basically just been torture and executions public or otherwise but if you wanted them to survive I could easily allow for that. Probably they'll be kept in poor living conditions with a daily beating and then maybe some other acts of violence at irregular intervals. Then they would also have any hair burnt off and probably be branded with symbols of the Onyx dragon and similar.

99B is owned by the stormlands, so I assumed you actioned it for defense against an attack that never came. (Like the post worded it.) Just to confirm because I'm a bit confused, are you sure you actually want to attack it?

According to Mary, the Stormlands lost 99B due to resource requirement woes and she gave me permission to retake it.

[DimpleLoamsdown]

[150] The Jagalatan forces remaining within or anywhere near the ruins of the Grand Church are quickly put to death by the military forces of Besina, finding that most of those who remained did so based more on a will to escape transfirlian slavery or Onyx rule. Despite this, the field commander decides that their heads should still make for a fine greeting card to their ruler, who should likely understand that they are no longer welcome in the west.

Which Jagalatan forces are we talking about, as I do not remember sending them to the West recently...

That's a strange way of trading it, but I'll give it to you.

The point there is that any who remain are there because they abandoned their force, and not because they were ordered to be there - Not everyone like slavery after all.

Moos is correct here, Zayuz, as per info via Quinton. 99B should indeed be his now.

I've been hanging out with Aed for two years, I can far more pedantic than that.

Actually, Larimp rights within Jagalata started to be a think a while ago.

The terrain of Sonedi consists of giant caves, full of houses and training grounds for soldiers. The region’s caves are divided into giant columns, like a library, except that instead of books, there are large, comfortable houses. Each row holds the families (a relatively new idea in Jagalata) of half of a unit of Jagalatan soldiers (1000 soldiers). The soldiers rarely find themselves staying in their houses, as a result of the small number of soldiers in the Queendom.

Also, how many soldiers did Jagalata lose?

I invented pedantry because I didn't have enough to be mad about.

Bring it.

Also, Zayuz, what tech did the Vr'kx get? I think it's Trebuchets, but it's unclear.

Also also, did I claim P29 successfully or no?

[DurkBlanston]

The Cahoosa Confederation discovers region 220! It contains a [Great] resource of Slaves and a population of 648,000!

The Cahoosa Confederation discovers region 219! It contains a [Good] resource of Mammoths and a population of 636,000!

Not disputing, just confirming it wasn't missed. This is what I found with two Luck 5s? No Undefined resources or anything?

Yes to both

None, it was purely fluff based

This did slip past me - Apologies, I was rushing a lot near the end and I did explorations last. They can both be undefined because you rolled so high, but you have to promise to do something interesting with them.

I was killing your agents at the GCD.

Well he seems to have lost 3000 units in a battle he did not partake in.

...What?

[woolli264]

...What?

five jagalatan land units were mobilized in defence of transfirlia despite jagalata taking no action to do so.

I lied. If I was truly pedantic, I would have said that I'd been hanging out with Aed for only 1 year, 6 months and 11 days.

I am hosting an event this round! It is a Peace event, so please no armies.

Spoiler: Invitees

As long as the following people are the only ones who arrive through the gates of Jagalata, no blood will be shed as a result of Larimp actions. Anyone who attacks another invitee will be killed. Soldiers from the nations of which the invitees come from are not permitted through the gates of Jagalata. This is meant to be an event of Peace and unification, not an event of hostility. It is advised that guests bring a gift, no matter how small to the event, as it is the seventeenth birthday party of the recently crowned Visionary, Jelha De.

Let me rephrase the invitation:
"You are invited to a peaceful party in celebration of the seventeenth birthday party of Jelha De, the Visionary. It is advised that you only bring yourself and maybe a single servant, with you as it would be considered disrespectful to bring more than yourself and maybe one or two other people with you. Also, if more than one or two people from the invited parties were to come to the peaceful celebration, hosted by Jelha De, the venue would likely become overcrowded. Only invited guests will be brought to the venue of the event, but anyone may send a gift to the Visionary. Gifts to the Visionary will be closely examined before being brought to him.
This party is entirely made to potentially create peace between currently warring nations and weapons are not permitted in the party venue. Good luck with your trip to Jagalata!"
The invitation is followed by a list of names.
•Niran Olygricht of the Crystal Union
•Queen Zellevera of the Crystal Union
•Queen Yildiz vel Enas of Transfirlia
•Nonqaba Shoksa, Queen of Bees of the Izele Clans
•Queen Paige, the Bloody of the Crystal Union
•Lady Spring of the Aeldir Rose Courts
•Lord Winter of the Aeldir Rose Courts
•Emperor Cato Leonis
"Jelha De hopes to fix what his mother has broken, and would like to improve international relationships with other countries while doing so."
The message is concluded with the messy signature of Jelha De, the Visionary.

I will point out that even if Lord winter only brings one baboon sith he could still wipe the floor with our collective bodies and those of any guards waiting nearby.

[HalfTangible]

I lied. If I was truly pedantic, I would have said that I'd been hanging out with Aed for only 1 year, 6 months and 11 days.

In truth, unless you mean to suggest that you and Aed were handcuffed together and were linked into a shared dream state, you've only been hanging out with him for a tiny fraction of that period of time. And that's even assuming 'hanging out' is all one uniform idea. Like... did you talk about the weather? Fight? Play a card game? Plan an elaborate heist? Are all of these things really hanging out? And what of Skype chats and the podcasts? Does it only count if you hang out alone, or if you and the other person are not in the same room? On Skype it's even worse, since you could send a message and not get one back until the next day! Does that mean you've spent a day 'hanging out'? And if it does, did Aed spend that same amount of time despite his lack of knowledge that the message was there? What about when disconnections and power surges occur?

And all of that is under the presumption that you meant metaphorically hanging out. If not, then I must ask what you were hanging out of.

I will point out that even if Lord winter only brings one baboon sith he could still wipe the floor with our collective bodies and those of any guards waiting nearby.

Why do that when he can just send the Dullahan and get an even higher body count?

Baobhan Sith. A willing woman is sacrificed and she becomes an ethereal being capable of a powerful magical shriek. They are also supernaturally powerful warriors and grant Old Gods leaders +1 against assassination attempts. They can dissolve into spirits and mists as well, and as far as we know will last until the end of days (and more recently it's been hinted they slowly become more like Aeldir over time)

Essentially, they're banshees. Or I have severely misunderstood Dark's writing.

No. Aw man. That is horrible. Why does it exist? I call hacks. I know I came in thirteen rounds after him, but he shouldn't be that much more technologically advanced than me...

I could name 5 characters off the top of my head that could wipe out (and sometimes HAVE wiped out) entire units of soldiers practically single-handed, and none of them have miracles spent on them to make them nigh-unstoppable spectres of death.

Miracles, that's why.

And many of our nations CAN do that. Most of us choose not to because it's more interesting to tackle political intrigue in this game than ground-level heroics.
