Wouldn't be able to do it all the time as I make some plays in ACTS from my phone (and, thus, have no CB access either), but it'd at least keep people abreast without CB.

Speaking of that, it is about time to say that I'm going to be out of town this long weekend but I'm planning on playing moves via a friend's iphone if I can't get wireless. Former will limit me down probably to about one play a day...though currently I've had no plays so...:lol:

:yeah:

Tamas is up to make the first play of the turn as soon as he can figure out which e-mail he receives files from.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Actually, Drakken is still technically up since he didn't make his home card selection apparent in any way.

Drakken, if you start with two home cards (which the Ottomans and the HRE both have at the beginning of the game), every turn you will need to select one during spring deployment and discard it to your power card in the exact same manner that you did your Religious Preference. 

It's not a big deal this turn since I think it's pretty clear you'll pick the Patronage card, but it will become important from turn 2+.

Yes, I figured that I had forgotten to remove my Home Card. I put the one I keep on my Power Card, or the one I want to remove?

Are Home Cards visible to all players?

Sorry if I'm confusing, I'm really trying to understand how it works and I am NOT an experienced board game player as you guys are.

They are not, no.  Anything that you place in the 'HRE Hand' tray will become 'owned' by you in CB.  The ownership prevents anyone from being able to look at it or even move it around on the board unless the owner right-clicks and hits 'Release Ownership.' We cannot, for example, peek at what chit you selected for Religious Preference because it is owned by you.  So, you can select which home card you want to use, put it down on your power card and when the time comes, 'Release Ownership' on it and flip it over to expose it.

During the next turn's spring deployment, you'll pull the used card back to your hand and repeat the process, etc..

Done. Could you have a look to see if it's done okey?

I think we may have a misunderstanding here. 

You did everything correctly, yes, but you also released ownership and flipped the card well before you played it.  The home card that you want to play in the turn is supposed to be secret until it is played.  Basically, assuming you're selecting your Patron of the Arts home card, you would just not 'Release Ownership' and flip the card until you actually play it (all while keeping the other card in your HRE Hand tray so we can't see what it is, either).

Sigh... sent. Yes, we do.

Hopefully everything is okey now, I'm not going to bed until it's done good.

Habs has confirmed that everything is now good - finally.

Tamas, you are good to go.

I am playing Witchcraft as event. Sorry no quote of card text, I am trying to catch Berkut awake from my iPad. He needs to show me his hand  and I will get to discard one card from it

I bet a million internet dollars he has me discard the one card in my hand that makes the least sense.

And Tamas never fails to dissapoint. He forces out the one card he can be sure won't be used against him.

Stop with the negative beets, man.
