The Solitary Throne [OOC | Closed]

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

I will wait for the update to be edited before I post IC but I really got to spell it out again: I would prefer development & cooperation, but if people insist on trying to make me roll over, I will martyr this archduchy if it means doing harm to those attacking it. What do you think 'Flagellant' means?

I won't need to ask for help from Sovator, I don't need to ask for help from them, their existence is enough of a help. The more the Kingdom of Thrun commits to fratracide, the weaker it becomes realtive to it. This is a mutually assured destruction detterent & I'll make use of it without restraint.

Ok, now I'm curious, who's attacking you? (I get you don't know, but what unit?)

House Fox attacked the first time. Said they were passing through. I said thry could, but if they raided us I'd make it my mission to destroy House Fox. Then they asked to sleep over. I told them I aware that this could be a trick but I'd allow them in anyway. Then they started to loot the chapel & take a clergmany hostage, so I attackrd them & drove them off.

Now next House Black has tried to sneak troops from off the main roads to head toward us. I detected them, messeged them to say that we'd been attacked & if they wanted to pass through they needed to be unarmed & do so quickly. They said they were heading to investigate 'potential treason.' & to demobolize our troops.

I said that this seems like an obvious trick, we're going to ramp up mobilization to let it be known more pagans are coming to raid us & that if they want to investigate they can send a small non threathening force or we're just going to fight them off.

I have a question: how did you make enemies in one move?

Huh? Sneak off the main roads? I didn’t provide any such instructions to G, maybe it’s just how the geography works out. I’ve been very direct in my dialogue so far, and am willing to reach compromise. I have my instructions, but blood is bad for business.

I hadn't done anything before House Fox started raiding my stuff & every single thing since has been people coming after me for no reason.

What kind of mess is this, who attacked whom and on whose side is His Majesty?

Excellent news. Was a tiny bit worried you had wandered off.

Look, it’s quite complicated - soldiers are still in motion at the moment.

If I have to issue official decrees, it’ll be in the IC. Still waiting for some dust to settle.

Damn, I had the opportunity to rob a couple of villages near noble houses under the cover of noise, but it all seemed to pass me by

Yeah, that probably would have actually worked

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

I have no idea whose side the King is on & it'd make zero difference in how I proceed. I'm not trying to be disloyal here. But I'd be entirely unsurprised if I get backstabbed.

It should be plainly obvious I have no intention of siding with Sovator, it'd be very bad for my legitimacy & nobody respects a turncoat. There's zero benefit to it, even the idea of investigating is absurd.

Do not worry, I was just busy IRL, but I’ll take time for NS.

Bruh, we were just resting on your lands for a day and suddenly arrows start flying at our men? From which archers I don't know? As far as I know you don't have any, and the only one who has archers and isn't House Black isn't from our Kingdom. And who were the rest of your friends? I only retaliated after my men were shot at.

Fake innocence all you like, there is something rotten in the state of Ewart.

Wait, so where is the Archduchess Faucher? If she's at the capital, you can request help from The King, no? I think she is from IC post but I don't know.

Of the 6 provinces you border, 4 if them are unexplored. Raiders can come out if them at any moment. You should be focused on being ready to defend Thrun in the east & west. Yet you decide to send our your men at arms half way across the map. The idea you're there to defend the border is such a dumb excuse, you are literally the furthest away from the Svoator border of anyone, there is nothing that's less your business.

Its obvious you assumed I'd be a soft target because I start with spear militia instead of men at arms. The consequence of that is that I am now irreversibly committed to destroying you & raiding my chapel gives me more than enough IC justification for that stance.

Returned as soon as she learned of the raid of the chapel and also let it be known that is why she returned on her way back. She made the request for the land & loans she wanted, but she's not going to fail to return to her holdings when they're looted. If that costs her, it was never worth pandering to get anything & she'll just make do with what she has until she can enforce justice.

I notice you still aren't addressing the 'mystery' archers. If they aren't House Black's, as you are clearly now being hostile to them as well, then it doesn't make it hugely complicated to work out whose they are. I am very committed to protected Thrun from raiders wandering the lands. You seem to be committed to working with them.

G, where are you getting this artwork?

G, where are you getting this artwork?

From the seasonal update, or the map?

The former is just internet pictures. The map is my own febrile scribbling.

The map is really good !

The 'mystery archers' are random hunters that can in from the countryside to help evict your troops. I am being Hostile to House Black because I'm facing an idiotic accusation of treason after having faced a similarly idiotic raid on my territory from an idiotic house.

A poor excuse from a poor house. We sought to rest and pray and were fired on. We only took action after being attacked.

I’ve sent the king with a small detachment of men to get to the bottom of the matter. And once that’s been resolved, I believe some new laws regarding inter-kingdom warfare may be required.

[Cybernetic Socialist Republics]

I just want to get down to building libraries as soon as possible, not dealing with jumped up bandits cannibalizing the Kingdom from the inside out.

The first task of any government is enforcing basic order, which is why after House Fox is erased I'm committed to erasing whoever it is whose doing to robbery on the edge of my territory.

Nevermind the 200 men at arms that have decided to show up.

I currently have a herald telling the new arrivals “yo there’s an ongoing investigation here, leave or my army will be defending the province too”, so they shouldn’t be an immediate issue at least.

House Rogerik is next up on the list of bandits I will never do diplomacy with & will commit to destroying entirely.

Look this is not going to be my reaction to all oppostion but you people are land pirates & pirates are considered the enemy of mankind for a reason. You haven't even declared war & certainly don't have a reason to attack & you're pillaging.

You're not even getting enough nobles from this to cover upkeep costs & out of it you get a perpetual enemy. This being even slightly worth it depends entirely on me just letting in slide and obviously I won't. You guys need to be erased if for no other reason than the fact you're clearly too inept to make good use lf your holdings.


Like I can deal with backstabbers but I can't deal with people who are too dim to identify their best interests. They're too unpredictable they just have to go as soon as possible.
