I just invaded Navarre (btw since nobody is going to take such a small irrelevant kingdom who is going to Rp that? I could do the whole thing myself if necessary.)

Its small so do it yourself just to save time. And do we have a NPC RPer? Okay so an ultimatum or just kick him. Anyone else want to add anything? I want to get all of your guy's opinions.

Why not just have us all vote to see whether or not the thing is realistic, and if the majority vote that it is not, just have Lithuania post ICly him changing his mind?

France and Russia are inactive you should kick them while you're at it.

Yes. I will TG him and if he doesn't post in, say 3 days? Thats sounds reasonable, he will be removed to open up the Russian Principalities for play.

Okay. So firstly. On the current poll the majority vote was Yes on me giving gifts you can use ICly. I will remove that poll and give them to you guys tomorrow or maybe later today. And I will create a new poll for some current situations we have.

Musket? The arquebus is anything but a musket. Muskets do not exist in the 1500's, arquebuses do, they were the father of the musket. Did you even read the article? Arquebuses are not Dutch either, they were used in the Ottoman Empire, Japan, Spain, and a long list of other countries. Hernando Cortez conquered the Aztects largely due to the arquebus. Next time at least read the article before you bring out the arrogant sarcasm.

Actually, according to wikipedia, there indeed were muskets in the 1500s, and the Ottoman Janissaries were famous for using them. Just saying...

Inesea applied as Lithuania.

If he is converting to Islam than he would have the support of several Islamic factions.

Still. Its very unrealistic and will not pass.

Here is the quote of wikipedia article on Janissaries and the one on Muskets

"By the early 16th century, the Janissaries were equipped with and were skilled with muskets.[19] In particular, they used a massive "trench gun", firing an 80-millimetre (3.1 in) ball,[citation needed] which was "feared by their enemies"."

"16th-century troops armed with a heavy version of the arquebus called a musket were specialists supporting the arquebusiers and pikemen formations. By the start of the 18th century, a lighter version of the musket had edged out the arquebus"

The 16th century version of the musket was huge and unwieldy weapon, not the sleek, lighter muskets used by forces in the 18th century.

Is the King of Lithuania seriously trying to convert to Islam?'

That would be near impossible and serious grounds for a crusade.

Improbable, but still possible. An Islamic minority could stage a coup against the king, take over the government, and make Islam the new state religion.

And then promptly fall to massive unrest and rebellion.

So Val, can I post a rebellion post?

Just a crusade. No annexation. And Inesea lets give the poll a few more minutes

How many Islamic people would be living in Lithuania anyways? Surely less than 1% of the population would be muslim, how could they even try to stage a coup against the 99% Catholic population and huge army?

At this point Poland and Lithuania were in a union and Poland simply didn't annex Lithuania out of fear.

Or they could declare themselves one nation as the Polish-Lithuania Commonwealth like history.
