Here Languish Stands game thread

[Viking]

I advanced the turn...

[Solmyr]

Will send the file with winter moves and other updates in a couple of hours. Negotiations can: begin.

I am reachable on Facebook for fastest negotiations. Protestants expect a card draw from France and are interested in talking to whoever might have the Schmalkaldic League card.

[Solmyr]

Sent out the file with turn 1 winter from the rest and turn 2 additions. Current board also includes Ottoman SD (Viking jumped the gun there a bit as SD takes place after negotiations).

Btw, a couple of SB counter-moving tips for sbr and others:

If you want to select a stack of units quickly, you can drag-select an area where they are, and then in the counter list you see on the left side Ctrl-click those counters you need. Press Ins to deselect everything else. Or alternately, Ctrl-click the counters you don't need, and press Del to deselect just those.

Also, Ctrl-F brings all currently selected units to front and Ctrl-B moves them to the back. Can be useful to drag your selection on the map more easily.

I'm a bit confused about mandatory events. As I understand it, it doesn't matter who holds them, they must be played as event, correct?

[Solmyr]

Yes, at some point during the turn. You can choose exactly when, but you cannot pass if you have mandatory events in your hand.

Remember, they also serve as 2 CP worth of ops for the side playing the card.

It's not like I'm not going to invade hungary and its not like any diplomatizing is going to do anything other than have people wait while they wait for me to SD.

Who knows, maybe Suleiman suddenly embraces peace and love. After all he follows the Religion of Peace.

Well, peace be upon the hapsburgs and the pope.

Is there anybody still diplomatizing?

[Maximus]

I believe I'm done.

[sbr]

Is there anybody still diplomatizing?

I just sent a response to the one person who contacted me and I don't think I have anything to talk about with anyone else.

Please, for the love of both God and Man, when you're done, just announce and the rest of us will catch up.  The "I'm done, are you, are you, are you?" phase is one* of the worst parts of HiS.

*The worst part, of course, is the inevitable kvetching about how Player X is going to lose the game for Player Y if they don't do exactly what Player Z says.  Usually starts in turn 4.
