Age of Glory, 1504 Alternate History RP, OOC/Signups

[The High Guardians]

Scotland's alliance's - France, Portugal, Spain, Japan. - France and Spain seem pretty willing to invade England from the South while I kick you from the North

You missed something there, friend. How the hell did you even know Japan existed? Thats not what you missed by the way.

Japan is on the future list once I discover them. I've missed nothing.

I have a feeling the sanitary measures I ordered in a while back should help me somewhat, along with the construction of the old Gaelic steam houses in the major towns. If people reported the plague returning I imagine leaders would take extreme measures to try and reduce infection.

Step 1 : All people are made visit the steam houses and bathe at least once every week
Step 2 : All infected must leave the city (camps would be built in a rural area)
Step 3 : Release the cats!
Step 4 : ???
Step 5 : Profit

So, Ireland, you're not in the silly Anti-English Alliance, eh? Just in the Passive-Agressive to England Alliance?

And Guardian, thats what you think. You've missed something important.

People being made to visit the (I'm assuming Public) steam houses and bathes are one of the WORST things you could possibly due during an outbreak of Plague. XD

Uh, isn't Kahlenberg the Quality Checker? I'd seriously look at Portugal's last post. It make me cry a little.

What,because he rejected your trade? hehehe.

No, because look at it. Look at that. Just look at it. You are allied to that. What even is that. I can't even. What language is that. What I don't understand is why is Portugal allied with Scotland? Portugal and England have had an alliance since 1373...

This won't end well for one side in this argument(war?)... I know, I have the secret knowledge granted to me from the old gods! I see the future, I see! It comes to me in my dreams! I SEE! I SEEE!

The one who knows the Illuminated Truth of the Crazily Arranged Stones

Um, I know this's been debated already, but the whole timescale thing isn't all too good. It just creates some weird situation, as with the 3 months=1 OOC day, that means that Prince Mauritz and the Irish envoy have been in my castle for just about half a year. I mean, unless for some reason there is this time pocket inside Ulvenserregord, and everything moves very slowly, it just seems kind of strange. While with the 2 IC pages=1 year, this whole thing with Prince Mauritz and the Irish envoy could have happened anywhere within that time span of a year. Also, considering King Harold is in his 60's, and I want him to live about 20 more years till his 80's, I get to only kill him off in about February, as it would take 80 IRL days for 20 IC years to pass.

So basically, is there any way you guys (OP's) could consider reverting back to the 2 pages=1 year thing? It really seems to work a lot better.

[The High Guardians]

No argument will happen here.

And Guardian, thats what you think. You've missed something important.

I was actually quite hoping with the King of Brittany in Ireland, if he leaves the castle that he gets mobbed by peasants and killed. That could stir up some bad relations, heightened by an invasion not five years ago, we could have another war on our hands. And with the two Kingdoms relatively evenly matched in terms of population and military sizes, it could be a tight one. Wouldn't that be exciting?

[Pharland]

No argument will happen here.

Even though it makes no sense in the slightest that Portugal would ally with the Scottish instead of England? Seriously, the Anglo-Portuguese is the oldest alliance still in force today. Today being 2013. But you catch my drift. Portgual and England have been allies for over a century and a quarter at this point.

Well, the meeting on the embassy I was planing on saying that its in the interest of our Isles to keep all foreign powers off, so if Brittany invaded you I would punch him in the face.

I'm not blaming you, we all have real lives outside of NS to attend to, but this could be fixed with some more activity on your part. I am quite happy with the current time scale.

I'm simply offering better terms than you?

Alternate History RP, i am playing as if Portugal and England never have had an alliance and formed good relations with scotland instead.

*Before bed*
I disagree. That system is much more flawed... Nothing could happen for days, or two people could take up a page and a half with their transactions and leave many with nothing to get done the entire year.

Personally I prefer a system of pre-agreed upon events, with people making time leaps in the RP when needed, taking more time when there's a lot to do.
I faced a similar problem and I just posted ahead of schedule and went back to those kinds of posts with "A few months prior" disclaimer.Worked a rough understanding of what would happen OOC. *Now to bed! Disappears mysteriously*

[Tribea]

Battle Thread is causing IC Thread Lag. The Inca can't respond to me yet because the business in the South isn't done with and people don't know Sapa Inca is alive, despite that considering the time that has passed IC they should by all rights know... I'm having a similar problem, my Battle Thread posts are at least 4 or 7 battles worth of content behind the IC and that's with the OP allowing me to write my own battles and him review them.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Decide the fate of the battles before hand. Simply progress time in the IC as normal, with the decided effects of the battle already known about. In the battle thread, simply put the date/time of the battle above the post as proceed as usual.

No

I second this. I hope this RP goes on for an insane amount of time, eventually getting up to date. And at the current rate, that would be August 8th, 2019.

[Pharland]

No, because look at it. Look at that. Just look at it. You are allied to that. What even is that. I can't even. What language is that. What I don't understand is why is Portugal allied with Scotland? Portugal and England have had an alliance since 1373...

Who breaks off an alliance of over a century on such a whim?

Dude, don't be rude to him.

Someone who has noted that I have a large professional army while England is relying on conscripts still?

I'm off to bed folks.

But that isn't how it works. it is 3 months per page.

Don't worry, King John will die in Ireland, either by killing him or by disease. But don't choose the first one please. I really want him to die peacefully & I'm Avoiding war to build up my Military for no reason. Also I'm in good relations with Burgundy & I can call on him to order the pope to kill you! So don't even try. Or Maybe he commits suicide

Edit: why would you Invade someone who has good relations with you & culturally the same as you? (This is for England)

Because of the Alliance to protect Ireland and the British Isles from foreign invasion that shall be made soon.
