And the last turn of the grace period is about to begin. Who here was actually playing when the first RoE kicked into gear? Was there a grace period in it, as well?
And if so, was the turn following it as hideous as I imagine 65 will be?
-
When i joined first game it was already part way through and as WD in Coeranys I had to struggle hard to even have a realm.... But I will say that the PvP action was fairly intense with what are only currently "frictions" during grace breaking out quickly into bushfires and then firestorms that threatened to engulf the whole of the continent. And that is not even including the NPC's and Bad guys all of which added to the mix.
I am both excited by and dreading turn 65 and the chaos that will ensure. Be prepared to baton down your hatches and whether the storm should it get driven past or over you :)
-
The DM's are discussing to remove the grace period as of now. Any thoughts before we decide?

NOOOOOOOOO.... :o

Apart from the fact that I have already written my turn 64 turnsheet and now shall have to largely rewrite it? (And yes that was just in an attempt to make up for being SO late last time due to real life....)
IMOSHO removing grace now should be fine; there may be one or two players who have geared actions assuming grace would be in place this turn but I am guessing they are likely to say so publically in case it exposes their cunning plans but I personally would have no issue with the gloves coming off - after all nasty is the nature of some of our games. Alledgedly ;)

I take it you wish the grace period to be removed ;D
-
I think I would prefer for it to stay on... Though I am not sure. Some carnage to shake things up could be fun :)
-
I think I speak for everyone currently invested in npc wars, when I say that removing the grace period would be somewhat.... testing.

Funnyily I committed to that action forgetting there was a grace period; I would not have chnaged any of my actions so far with or wothout a grace period :)

Yes, all the more reason for you to get your butt back home eh.
-
Ah yes... Now, if only I didn't have this notion of following up on promises :p

I'm Ok with it - I mean really we're pretty much burning Mieres to the ground down hear anyway ;D
-
Me, I'm just battening down my hatches and preparing to ride the whole thing out. Feel free to run the "grace period" out another year or two, as far as I'm concerned.
-
Ending the Grace Period now, or in the future, isn't of a huge deal, I think. Besides, it makes all the current long-term endeavors suddenly far more interesting and dangerous. I kinda like that idea...
-
I think it would be best to keep it as originally announced; generally speaking I prefer changes to rules to be announced in advance whenever possible and so especially those landed domains that have geared towards a four season grace period should, in my oppinion, not see all their cunning plans get twarted by this sudden change.
That said IHH can live with it

Well... you caught me :P . Seriously now, my character has not invested in that period. In fact he has longterm plans that are not dependent on the 4 turn grace period window that you allowed us. So it won't be a huge deal.
After all our characters have no idea about the grace period (in character), so that announcement should actually change nothing in terms of long or short term planning.
On the other hand, 1 more turn of peace could do wonders for most of us I think.
-
No matter about taking off the grace period...
if DM are pondering about removing it in this turn probably they have good resons to do so

Well tbh I, this turn, had 3 seperate military actions in play.... I hardly feel like I am in a grace period :)
That and it may well be building a false comfort level for some of us.....
-
Now, when I messed up so nicely, I would really appreciate 1 turn of peace before all the vultures descend upon me :)
-
The end of the grace period would also mean an end to NPC domains not taking major action against you; so far all events have been fairly minor or PC-generated. That will chance, and NPC will be played to he fullest. There will also be more severe events. Just so you know ;D
-
Bjørn please clarify; above post tell what happens when the grace periode stops or mean that this happens now and grace periode stops ???
EDIT: Grace periode stops now or turn 65?
-
Well ... the only difference for SRT will be the "Everyone panic" regent action I reserved for turn 65 will be used a bit earlier ;D
-
Egads... I'm guessing a fruit-basket and some complimentary hair-products from Medoere won't be enough to change the feelings of Boeruine and it's allies towards lil' old Kaven and his liege lord? ::)
Heck, how about some nice free bundles of velvet for the Spider and his minions? No?
A silver-necklace for the Red Wind? ... Another no? Darn... :D

I'd prefer if the deadline is not moved as a general rule... Some things would "better" if handled while the grace is still in effect.
Not that I'm paranoid or anything, but I AM going down to visit Osoerde this turn. :)

Look, Royce was an anomaly. Statistically speaking, fairly few of the regents who visit us are slaughtered without warning, reason, or mercy. ::)

A reasonably significant Anomaly though. Enough to make one concerned for one's own safety!

Note, OoC, that Royce was not killed by Osoer ::)

So you say! Perhaps you are in fact part of the conspiracy! ;D

Gasp! Pontiff Isilviere was actually Marlae Raenech-Roesone in a mask all along!
"And I would've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"
-
Hey this IS OoC!
I did get away with it!
Who will be Marlae's next victim? :P

Slaughtering regents with mercy. Now that is an interesting concept. ^_^

There is many a tale of the noble, maybe last on his side of a battle, begging the victorious enemy to face him, to give his bloodline the honour of death in defeat. Begging the enemy to have mercy and not let him be the only survivor of a lost battle. In the mind of a true noble, his life is nothing without honour.

...and then you have "Coup_de_grace"
Merciful slaughter indeed :-)

... yes. But I would not call it slaughter.
Slaughter is the brutal or violent killing of a person.
Perhaps you could say dispatched in a merciful manner? ^_^

Assuming that he's stopped chatting up elves and fey cadavers and gone home anyway...
One would hope however that there are some social mores about casual murder - sneak in and that's another story, but a formal visit known to all should be safe unless dealing with a madman. Otherwise no-one would go anywhere and the game turns into a turtle fest.
