Mandate of Heaven:The Middle Kingdom [Faction|OOC|Open]

[Novas Arcanum]

OP, I am asking why the trader wants me to do it and not the enforcers that collect the debts from the peasants.

??? There's no debt to be collected from peasants, he's asking you to escort a trading caravan to Gaoyu. Ever played Mount and Blade? This is a escort quest.

How many copper coins is 1 silver coin?

Ten copper coins equals one silver coin.

I'm basically asking why me and not the tough guys?

Oh will he believes you'd be a good candidate for the job.

[Lisbane]

You couldn't accept just one more character? Looking for an RP and this one seems active an interesting, not much else in the Multiverse I'm afraid.

Then could you edit it, please?

Yes two players haven't posted at all so their spots will be purged. I'm reserving one spot for GAmetopians so you'll take the other empty one.

Then could you edit it, please?

I don't believe that's necessary he's already implied that he believes you'll be a good candidate for the escort and already discussed payment. Your character just needs to accept or deny the job.

Name: Boladjin Khan

Apperance:

Gender: Male

Biography: Born to the ruler of the Taichi'ut Clan, Boladjin was born into power. Growing up as a boy on the border with the Civilized Middle Kingdom, he trained in the Taichi'ut ways, taking a horse as a young boy and living with it for all his life, sleeping next to it should the need arise, feeding himself and it with game he hunted and fruits he foraged, and he learnt how to wield a sword, shoot a bow, and stick a spear in a man's heart. Groomed from his childhood for leadership and war, when the time came and his father died he took his rightful place as Chief of his Clan. However, chaos stirred in the Middle Kingdom, and Boladjin - literally meaning "man who works with steel" or as the westerners might call it "soldier" - took his chance, when the Great Wall fell and news reached him, he uprooted his clan and started the march south. In his march he united tens of tribes, by marriage or conquest, and was named Khan of the Tribes he had united. A man of honour, of loyalty, and of justice, Boladjin does not seek to destroy the Middle Kingdom, he seeks to take what is his by right of conquest and maybe one day, lead his clan to rule the North.

Archetype: Horde War Chief

Starting Items: Nomad armour, scimitar, a horse, a recurved bow, a black horsehair banner, and 3,500 Horde Horsemen.

[Pentapolitan Kyrene]

I've got to respect these peasants for not giving up. Should have gotten out while the getting was good, though.

Well it seems to be heavily influenced by China and the surrounding cultures. So now they are.

[Ralnis]

Lisbane,if the OP says the Mongols don't exist in the RP then they don't. You don't get to overrule what Novas said on his own RP he created.

[Lisbane]

Lisbane,if the OP says the Mongols don't exist in the RP then they don't. You don't get to overrule what Novas said on his own RP he created.

Yes, of course. However, he just accepted my application. He has made the Mongols a thing, not the same as in RL, they only share a name and some customs. But they are, by the OP's Law, a thing.

[Lisbane]

Of course, if he says I must edit out the Mongols, I will do so. Probably replace it with the word nomad(ic) or tribal.

Yes but I haven't added you to the rooster not to mention the game is technically closed so this acceptance is by no means official. There are no Mongols you'll have to come up with a different name.

Of course. Like I said, will probably replace it with just nomad, not very good with names.

Edited, may I make my first post?

[Novas Arcanum]

Added ye to the rooster Lisbane.

[Novas Arcanum]

Alright purged Rodez's character. For all ye lurkers, you may now apply!

[Novas Arcanum]

So updates will come either today or tommorow.

[Novas Arcanum]

Hmm, so I've been thinking about making a Warlord app myself.

I've also been thinking of rehauling the province system to a more gamelike style. Provinces have a standard pop of 20,000 so you would divide that pop by five into blocks of farmers,scholars, bureaucrats, soldiers, and artisans.

1. Farmers would farm the land, supporting the province's food supply.

2. Scholars would research new technologies and ideas.

3. Soldiers defend the province from other warlords and bandits, and also could be sent on campaigns of conquest.

4. Artisans would lead construction projects to build walls, granaries, roads, houses, etc.

5. Bureaucrats would increase taxes and productivity.

Thoughts? Would this improve gameplay or are things okay the way they are?

[Novas Arcanum]

@Tau Ima needs longer posts with more depth from you one liners are okay from time to time but it's getting to the point where such actions will be penalized.

Personally I love more complexity - but that system wouldn’t apply to most characters, would it? I don’t want to exclude folks.

[Novas Arcanum]

Oh no any player can become a warlord. Except for dao monks but I might retcon that.
