Council Session OOC

Meant to post earlier, sorry!  

No worries, you didn't miss anything important.

Also, unless something special comes up, we will move to the next part of agenda in 24 hours. You have been warned.

As I said IC, how does scouting parties work?

I don't think anyone currently has a command level higher than 2, which can lead up to 4 units. (There's also the Marshall quirk, but I don't think anyone has that either.) The requirement for scouting is 5 units, or 500 men.

Is scouting done on the border of the Steppe, by not crossing into Mystmountain territory and counted as a miscellaneous action (thus requiring no commander)?

300 levies
or 200 militia
or 100 higher.

That is a maximum of 300 units.

I imagined it as a a miscellaneous action (no commander required, but it might be benefical). The intended purpose is to watch for any growing hordes so they might be eliminated or at least prepared for.

Assume you have facts equating these on your parchments.

lol you said "mood"  

We could assign the Marshall quirk temporarily to those who are Warden and / or Marshall if troop limits are a problem. That's the type of power the council has.

I would only assign it during official campaigns

The quirk should go with the office, and abuse of it will surely be met with diplomatic consequences.

Well we're only giving it out if troop limits are a problem. And even then, the authority of the office gives you power during campaigns, not during normal play

It doesnt make sense to go "oh i patrol with more units because i was elected marshal." In character the trait can be justified by more people being under your banner due to everyone working together. As the marshal is supreme commander in any united campaigns it makes sense.

Go north! A triple victory...

NEVERMIND!

I agree with everyone before me. On the Marshall/quirk issue that is. Award the quirk temporarily for the Marshal, but it can only be used during official campaigns..or risk penalties (assuming you find a good IC way of deceiving people that it is called for)

And yes, the North won the first annual Steppe Tourney.

I think I have the dates wrong... week three ends tonight, and the final week starts tomorrow, which means the election for governor should be today. Am I right?

Next week is the final week of the season, week/turn 4. I don't remember if we do council sessions in week 4 or in week 1.

If the former, then we need to elect the governor... yesterday, and begin the council today. If the latter, we elect on saturday and begin on sunday. Unless I'm confused further than I realize. >.>

Yeah we should have elected yesterday :S Sorry I am still out of whack. Ok, short council this week then!

Valdir for Governor, Treasurer and Marshal!

... I thought Council sessions were done during the first week of each season? In my mind, that is what we have done thus far (Season 1 and Season 2).

Starting the 26th of August, it will be the final week of Season 2. Thus, the council session will not begin until next week (September 2nd). This is also the information posted in the sticky.

(I assume Seasons are four weeks each, about a months time)

Dates shouldn't be this hard, heh. You are right, so meeting begins September 2nd which is what I initially thought, but I was tired and thought I had made a mistake; you have another week to deliberate.

So yes, I was having a stupid moment earlier;

Meeting : 2nd of September to 8th of September : Election on the 1st of September.

Yay! The meeting ends on my birthday!

...Not that it has any meaning.

Also, I've lost a great deal of respect for you Mordred. No excessively complimentary titles for you for a week!

What happens if we accidentally give an excessively complimentary title to the Greatest Grand Game Gdesigner in that week?

Watch it, or you'll find your own titles disappearing... or perhaps just being absorbed into my own overinflated ego. That nice like "Renowned" under your name... *poof* and its all gone.

Would't want that now, would we Baroness Laisha?  

*grumble*

Any more nominations, remember election is on Sunday.

This is so exciting! Tomorrow the game of seats(thrones) will finally start.

Will Valdir stop pretending to be a northern lord,
Did Quiris make a lasting impression that gets him re-elected,
Is Vincent finally able to secure the extra votes,
Or will Everard steal the show in his running debute?

More tomorrow, but remember: When you play the game of seats, You Win or You Die.

Looks like I stole the show

C'mon everyone, get yourself a seat and drink some wine!
