Nation Building BeckonCall's Fantasy Nation-building RPG thread

[Heyitsjiwon]

Take ye time. There's quite a bit of diplomacy going on.

 

[Beckoncall]

Don't talk smack about our campaign! Nothing shitty about it, I'd say!


If you have ideas or goals, you can post them here or in PM and I'll see about Baez or Haakon taking them forward with your authority.


ie: if the colony's forces shipped out but you weren't around, I would contrive a reason for him to hang back, while one of your subordinates moved out... unless you expressly gave me other parameters.


RELAX, and let me know how I can help you enjoy the game more than worry about it.

 

[Beckoncall]

Processing What looks like more High elf and Aymaran actions... then moving on down the line pretty much in order posted.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

Hey, hey. I would never insult YOU or this RP like that, my post have been sub par at best since we made landfall.


So what am I dealing with?


Dock, more war shit right? Imps, possible territory dispute, colony security, heathen religious shit? and anything else?

 

[Beckoncall]

you seem to have a pretty good grasp of what's going on -- and you are often the harshest judge of your own stuff. if you have objectives for any of those problems your subordinates can field it.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

Dock, they built it right? Going to need to sort that out myself I feel, encroaching on mah beach an' all, but I dont not want it and dont want a war either.. so thats a difficult one. I mean my people are pumped up with war so I feel that they may want to kill the Imps... but Maeder would try to dissuade them. Territory shit probably need to find time to do myself too, security shit I was thinking of making it more official with the Annotolians, like a 'security Guild or some shit. Heathens well.. Dont think the others would let me burn any so might have to ignore that one.......

 

[SpiralErrant]

The public poll on whether or not to attack the gnolls is a little up in the air at the moment so The Exiles could hold a swing vote on that and shift things.

 

[General Deth Glitch]

My vote would probably be to slaughter them..... The 'Exhiles' are Hardened criminals and Maeders men who grew up from generations of fighting off the Muurdaan and a history of fighting eachother.

 

[Leusis]

Well between all of us we have like 300 soldiers, so I'm thinking that would be plenty if we decideed to attack.

 

[SpiralErrant]

Though Lothar does bring up a good point, scouting out the masked elves would also be useful. Though I reckon they've been badly weakened as it seems they've lost about three skirmishes since we encountered them.

 

[Heyitsjiwon]

Walks In Cull is probably worth at least 20 soldiers though...

 

[General Deth Glitch]

You dont want to pretend to be awesome, Maeder will win pissing contest through sheer determination.

 

[Elendithas]

Not 20 giant croc-folk.

 

[SpiralErrant]

I was pondering over the idea of getting folks to contact him again. By the sounds of it the gnolls have got their own warrior culture going on. Calling him out for a 1 - on - 1 fight might be a possibility and send a clear message to any future threats.

Maeder would fight that fight.

[QUOTE="General Deth Glitch]Maeder would fight that fight.

[/QUOTE]
I feel like a lot of our characters would want to fight that fight

 

[Elendithas]

Tocxhol volunteers as tribute.

 

[Leusis]

Giant croc vs giant hyena

 

[Prince Vaethorion]

I've been missing out on all this good OOC chat! I need to check in here more often.


interesting dynamics so far. I like all the intrigue between the races and factions. I am very new to this type of RPG, both by post and nation building, so still getting my feet wet. It is by reading the rest of your posts that I have been getting an idea how to play this from.


I think our GM is doing a great job in creating this world and I love how dynamic it is. It's like a choose your own adventurer/multiplayer.


I have some ideas how to fight the Gnolls, but the real threat (in my mind) seem to be these Titans, Dark magic and whatever genies y'all be poking at trapped in the bottles our GM has left about! (just saying)

 

[Beckoncall]

I've seen some stuff that might be overstepping the bounds of one player on another players agency... This will be fixed. If any retcon is needed or feathers Ruffles, I'll settle it.


As a general note - DO NOT tell other players what their culture is like, and Dont use obvious direct derivative stuff when something original will do... If you want to know about minotaurs in this game, ask that player in PM or ask ME in pm what you know...

Fair enough, I thought I might be overstepping, but if you read carefully, I am explicit in saying this is what the Elves knew of a race similar to this, not that this particular race, but I am very guilty of plagiarizing and using obvious derivatives. I did so to demonstrate this was from an Elven book, but yes, I was lazy and could have been creative instead of copying and pasting. I will gladly edit out what I wrote and modify it. I apologize. I thought I was clear that this was NOT the Tyran I was speaking of but of a derivative Minotaur race. Again, I was lazy about taking from a different genre which I had not realized was off limits.


Sorry.

 

[Beckoncall]

Not a prob, don't make a mountain out of a molehill. GMs are referees, and the main thing here was my concern (even though spiral "liked" the post) that establishing culture or history should either come with approval of that faction, and while some music, pics, and other stuff may color the world, we don't need chunks from established IPs that aren't the same world... Once you open THAT can of worms it's hard to put the genie back in the bottle.


Don't sweat it. I ret-conned what you'd have gotten checking for lore.

 

[Beckoncall]

Argghh... "Fixed" the post only to get it unfixed by accident with good intentions. I'll try to fix it again when I get home..., I really want to get up to date processing actions so it hurts to lose progress!!!

 

[Leusis]

The pain of losing progress when you're already behind, it sucks.

 

[Leusis]

Hey, maybe everybody should calm down with posts for a bit. Give Beck a chance to put together a reaction before you pile more on top of what he was already working on.
