He's not harassing you. He's just trying to clarify probably the most important part of your app.


I did clarify it. I even edited my message to make note of a little bit of what happened. I didn't want to get too specific, because then I'd get a warning from the mods. The von Hart are not nice people, at all.

Plague outbreak + nobles in one place due to meeting called by the von Hart + poisoned water supplies = new era for France. That and some other forms of warfare were taken part in :/

How would you get several hundred different nobles from two different countries to gather in one place?

If this is an indicator of an extremely high-content post coming along, I would like to say that, in my experience, getting out multiple alright posts can be of greater value due to advancing the story further, as compared to a single excellent post per day/night.

Who said anything about two countries? They hired mercenary ships to block entrance to France, and keep the other nobles out long enough to usurp the throne.

Isn't this your second post like this? And, yes, I know, they chat waaaaaaaay too much. They don't post enough xD. Three paragraphs per post isn't hard to type out unless you're in a funk :/ I can write out several of those a day, when I'm feeling up to it, anyways. Maybe they are just in a funk, and need to chill for a day with all that's happened? 100 pages of OOC means that they probably need a break (that or there were 80 pages of OOC before the IC :c)).

That's roughly 20:1, if we don't treat the 2nd IC page as a full page.

Hopefully people will start posting more. I'm going to post tonight. Usually I do one per day.

That doesn't even make sense, how would they be able to hire a mercenary fleet big enough to blockade the entirety of France (which somehow doesn't get destroyed by the French fleet)?

I agree with this. As I just said, I find it better to get out multiple alright posts instead of one good post simply for practical application, for what is excellent storytelling if it moves at a snail's pace?

>_> You obviously haven't gotten the point that the von Hart are diabolical. And who said anything about the entirety of France? Some mercenaries were hired simply to stall other nobles, instead of assaulting their ships. Now, I'm done with your questions. This is how it is, okay? Good.

D'aw. So cute. Don't worry, we simply extracted your philosophy, and spliced it with other extracted philosophies. *Nods.*

You said that they'd block enterence into France, by doing so that would necessitate blockading all 3,427 km of French coastline. That isn't even diabolical, that's just stupid as blocking everyone would drive them bankrupt. Why not just be an actual dynasty?

Because I don't fucking want to be. Seriously, you're on my last nerve. This is an AH, the events you're talking about happened over a century before the events today, and I can have my own dynasty if I want to. For Christ's sake, France is part of a Federation with Aragon, and they both lead the Federation. Netherlands, and Belgium, and other client states aren't part of the Empire. The French aren't the most powerful force on the planet.

Do you really think the leadership matters at this point? I don't want to do the amount of editing required to completely change the face of French-Aragon, because it would no longer be the same nation. There would be no Federation. The currencies would be different. The Empire would likely be at war with most of Europe. That change is bad for everyone.

It still doesn't make sense to have killed every single claimant to the French throne in France, you keep saying these absurd rationalization as to how you killed a few hundred people at once.

This whole thing is just reminding me of how in Europa Universalis 4, Navarra (Basques) can form both Spain and France

The Netherlands(including Belgium) aren't your client state.

Stop getting mad at Cabana, he is bringing up good points. Part of rping is talking to and receiving constructive criticism from others. And this isn't even criticism.

I'll take Italy's recent post as justification to have She-Who-Sees-Yesterday debate Italian colonial policy and legitimize Karankawa claims to Africa.

Or not. You know, whichever.
