Garbon's up.
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.

This is what you get for gambling, Sol.  Next time, take the guarantee.

:yes:

If he'd been suitably generous he could have had Elisabeth.

Also, I'm drunk so I'll be playing my impulse in the morning. Sorry kids.

Typical of the French. :frog:

Quote from: Habbaku on June 27, 2012, 05:59:33 PMDel, you need to make sure you're loading the previous player's files before doing your move, else we're going to have trouble going forward...

Right, I partly blame szmik and garbon for mixing up their files last round.

Quote from: szmik on June 27, 2012, 09:23:24 PMQueen prefers to remain virgin for now and sends her sincerest apologies to Emperor. Which is all she offers.

One downside to being the Sultan is that you do not get to be a part of deals about these things. On the other hand, you can laugh everytime they backfire.  :face:

I am surprised neither of them thought it worthwhile actually. The Sultan would have paid.

Your SD section seems to be out of order. The actual SD part of moving troops from capital occurs last, I believe.

That was my intended meaning but also wanted to include the country specific stuff, made a small adjustment, posting new file. Any other thoughts? The purpose here is first of all to simplify ftf play through cutting down on rule book browsing and secondly to help new folks into the flow of the game.

Well that was solely my fault. -_-

Why? My attempts to hold on Scotland are simply as a CP-sink for England (I've currently expended 1 cp!) If he'd taken it, that would fufill my ambitions. :D

Play coming soon! :blush:

Playing French Home Card to add wedding festivities to the marriage of Elisabeth and Don Carlos. French draw a card.

The fact that it keeps you within two keys of auto-victory surely has nothing to do with it. :smarty:

Without some sort of merc granting response event, almost a given that England takes Edinburgh in Turn 1.  Besides, Scotland will certainly have a dip check either this turn or next.

is Emperor heretic?  :hmm:
Quote from: Neil on September 23, 2011, 08:41:24 AM
That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

No, the Emperor is Russian.

The heretic is snow-Mexican.

Passed out, maybe, but didn't pass.

He is up, though, you're right.  For some reason, I thought he made his play.

The Emperor takes a loan from Genoa. No file, next person can put a -1 card marker on my power card.
