Hey Keftios, can we see an update on the IC thread please?

[Keftios]

Sorry for keeping everyone waiting. It's entirely my fault this time. I'll have the IC post up in just a moment. I'll try to keep on top of this from now on. I'll also make some additions to my factbook so that players will have a better idea about what Mallia is like.

[Routcher]

No worries, friend. We all have lives outside of NS

[The Arks]

I apologize for my recent inactivity. I have been very busy with my regional military and have not had time to formulate a quality post because of those activities. I will make a quality post tomorrow.

[Keftios]

I'm afraid I have some bad news, everybody. Something is wrong with my laptop and it won't start. I'm writing this on my phone. I also have a tablet that I hardly use, so I might be able to use that once I get it charged. Unfortunately, my laptop contains my only word processing program that I am aware of, so this RP may have to go on hiatus for a little while.

[Routcher]

That is fine, I hope you get your laptop back in working order soon. In the meantime, everyone, feel free to make any rps you want engaging in diplomacy with one another.

[Keftios]

Update: I tried my tablet but it's a piece of crap. It is very slow and unresponsive and browser keeps crashing. Still no luck with my laptop. I'll see if I can get it fixed tomorrow.

[Arkeyana]

is a steampunk theme allowed?

As cool as that sounds, sorry, no.

If, however, you felt so inclined to start your own group, I'd happily join it.

Know what, that's a pretty good idea, I'll make an RP like this but with steampunk as a theme.

This thing stagnated.

[Routcher]

We need an NPC invasion, a group of reavers, natural disasters, game of thrones.

Natural disasters eh? I guess I could hit Nerak with an earthquake or something.

The dude that make the feast is MIA. Why not to kill a NPC from Nation A by assasins from Nation B and start a peloponessian style war.

Kill someone off, got it.

[Routcher]

These are great ideas!

[Kennlind]

I remember someone mentioning making a map, but they only appeared in the interest thread & hasn't signed up their city-state here.

City-State Name: Eyripeas

City-State Government Form: Monarchy

Ruler's Name: Ahiram IV

Brief History: Eyripeas was once a large confederacy of 14 cities located on the coast, using it's size it amassed a huge wealth and the people lived in relative peace. Built up by the great King Ahiram II, with his death instability began to develop. A series of barbarian raids resulted in the confederacy losing half of it's cities, and most of it's wealth had been lost. Within a decade of Ahiram's death, they were down to just the city of Eyripeas. The economy was plunged into turmoil when barbarians raided Eyripeas proper, torching farms and massacring civilians in the outskirts of the town. The city proper was barely saved, and most of the farms were left in ruin. Over the next two centuries, Eyripeas has been left in peace, and she adopted Christianity in the 12th century.

Describe the area around the City-State: Eyripeas is mostly surrounded by hills and mountains to the north, however to the south and the east there are plains and multiple rivers that converge into Eyripeas.

Briefly describe your culture: Eyripeas has a culture similar to a pre-Islamic, ancient Levantine/Mesopotamian culture such as the Phoenicians. It's language is similar to that of the ancient Semitic languages, using a unique script, also similar to the Phoenician language.

Other Information: Eyripeas has a small army but a rather big navy, mostly consisting of trade ships.

[Keftios]

Hey everyone! I finally got my laptop working again, so I can come back to this. I'll write replies for the feast RP as soon as I can.

[Routcher]

That's great! Sorry, this week has been hectic.
