Code: Select all: [i]The queen stands up in the middle of the court and shouts, [b]"The time has come!"[/b] All across the room men in plain noble clothes start pulling out hidden daggers and swords, ready and willing to fight if given the order. King Huskar orders his guards to arms and they do . . . only to draw and place their swords to his neck. Tension begins to fill the room as nobles with confused and fearful looks dart their eyes around the room, wondering what comes next. The queen sits back down, content to draw out the suspense as she delicately cuts into her chicken dinner with a sharp knife that worries her king. "So. Did you think you could hold your precious title for this long, my love? Did you think that I would not hear of your misdeeds? Killing the poor and downtrodden down in Derbyshire so you wouldn't have to see their misfortune? Seeing to it that my friend, Western Pacific Territories, received a barony instead of the ducal title that he rightly deserved? Sending our son, Herargon, to that creepy Irish count Ifreann for 'study'?" *calm voice suddenly turns to shriek and shrill:* [b]"SLEEPING WITH THE MAIDENS IN TRANSOXTHRAXIA'S COURT!?"[/b] *sighs and lets loose a nervous little giggle, a touch of insanity is heard in it* "While you have sat there in your throne, decadence on display, I have been working against you. I have them all wrapped around my fingers and work to strengthen the realm. Under my shadow rule, I was the one who coaxed Roma Byzantina into granting YOU the right to claim the Kingdom of the Danish Confederacy. It was I who calmed the tensions between Duke Wolven League and Duke Shaggai. You saw Nightkill off of this throne, but I was the one who ordered his assassination so he could never come back." "In spite of everything, I do still love you. And because of this, I will spare you the block. You are to be taken to the Great Expanse. You will still serve your country by taking the White and protecting the realm from the Dark Crawlers." The queen gives her King one last kiss before ordering the guards to take him away. The king struggles with futility, yelling obscenities and vowing revenge her way. The queen sips her wine with a wry smile across her lips.[/i] [size=150][b][color=#BF0000]This is the Paradox thread.[/color][/b][/size] Here you can find the Karlings, Abbasids, French, Nazis and Blorg everywhere.

Inferior to my cutlass-weilding Guyanese, that's where we were.

Also, You didn't even mention me in the OP, Bralia? That hurts... *taps heart* right here.

You and I weren't mentioned because we're in the far-away lands of Blobistan and Kebabia, respectively.

I feel somewhat the same, but I really don't post here that often as I am too busy pillaging and burning across the steppe.

I'm lucky I was as close as I was to the end of the thread. I was legit busy making this happen and I exited the game expecting to go to sleep. Wasn't sure how fast it would end.

All people named in this OP have been chosen randomly, based on frequency of activity and/or being associated with the loyalist/traitor factions from Huskar's previous OP. :geek:

. There is absolutely no bias in this OP.

Speaking of, who named me a traitor?

*looks at OP*
Wait, I'm friends with Bralia?

*checks relationships tab*
I am friends with the ~~King~~, er, Queen, sorry.

Anyways, liege lord, may I be granted that Ducal title, lord of the Stepstones? It's quite a nice vacationing spot and I have a 'Strong' claim on it.

I can not tell you how satisfied I was with the Hungary HOI IV gameplay today. Best WWW to date. I need more.

- Reatra gains the Ambitious trait.

- Reatra gains the Sexy trait.

- Reatra proposes to marry one of the queen's daughters.

So here's where this thing has migrated to now, eh?

Anyway, I kinda have a North (from latter of the pre-conquest starts) game of CK2 ongoing (I say kinda because I haven't played for a while since my earlier king's son took over) in which the north in addition to the usual invasion of riverlands shenanigans
a) Conquered Qohor. Yep. You heard it. The little lad on the throne is king of the North, Riverlands, and Qohor. The latter is actually only a king-tier title in contrast to the former which are the empire-tier ones.
b) Started conquering the wildling settlements beyond the wall and handing them out to Starks to settle in. Sadly one of them, I think a nephew of my last king, then turned Wildling, so I've got that going for me.

But the real most interesting part here is what I managed to have happen after convincing a northern Old Gods-believing Lord Commander to bend the knee and then pissing him off.
Absolute Monarchy, go go go?

For an atomicist 'physicist,' he's one of the smartest men in the world right now. Perhaps too smart.

Second would be pikemen.

Kill him.

Sooner or later he will make a robot army and try and conquer the world.

I second this so-long as Viking Football Players or OPCataphracts are also added.

So, we're back for round V.

Also poll needs Unsullied, a.k.a the most OP unit that you can get en masse in any mod.
