It's sick. Whales are sick.

We just witnessed a rare first two TET pages triple post, by the way.

Ninja’d. Make it quadruple.

Yep: when I get the student loans, when I get to go to class again, and when I have something to do besides piss my time playing CK2/NS/whatever.

It's a TET I prepared probably about a year ago. It was just before Blaat left the team. It would blow NSG's collective minds! I can't recall the title anymore though...

You're just looking at the negatives, man, you gotta thinking about the cool, brisk air, the leaves turning their colors to to pretty passions before their deaths, and the pumpkin. spiced. everything. What haven't they pumpkin spiced yet? How can we push the pumpkin spice boundaries in 2018?

Alternatively, it's a nice embrace of cool weather and cool leaves doing cool color tricks before wishing the season of death that follows would just pass by quicker than it is.

1) Don't have the original.
2) NS2's dead for years. I only recall making an account for it back when I was very young/lurking about, and then forgetting about it once I was done! :P

I'm sure we could handle it, now I'm just certain the mods are unjustly depriving us of this beautiful spectacle of a TET thread.

Currently the Piasts from 1066. Managed to not only create the Wendish Empire, but have expanded north into Finland, south to around Moldova, west to Lubeck, and east to... near Azov.

The hardest thing right now is trying to not lose the Wendish Empire, since I've actually been overthrown once: got the fucking usurper overthrown a couple months later, but he still kept Krakow.

*sigh*

And to make things worse, because they imposed gavelkind on the Kingdom of Poland, I had to give *that* title to someone else, since all I have are daughters.

There’s a thread for Paradox related discussion, but I’m gonna tell you right here.
If you’re very unpopular with all of your vassals, go full tyrant. Reshape your Empire. Imprison everyone you can. It’s always best to find a diplomatic solution to your internal problems, but at a certain point you should just say “Welp, they can’t hate me any more than they already do.”
Just don’t be too reckless. This strat can either save your dynasty’s status or destroy it. It will either send your Empire into prosperity or many years of civil war.
