Blood and Gold (Medieval, Open, OOC)

[Rhanawyn]

I can't really tell; does anyone else have any territory in/around the Byzantine Empire? I mean, I would knwo what to limit to, exactly, but I'm not sure at the moment...

Edited my Application.

Haven't RP'd in a long time, would be fun to get back into it.

Plop.

As fo the Papacy, it's part of what i'm claiming. But there's still the Vatican and Pope and everything, because then it wouldn't be Medieval. But if someone wanted to RP as the actual states, I'd be fine with giving up that bit of land around Rome. It'd just be a extra fun step in The New Roman Empire anyway~

Grey Wolf I can be co-op if you want.

[Alto Mantovano]

Greetings.
I see no world map in the OP, so I'm doing it the quick way, as I am on my phone:
Which lands remain unclaimed?
What is the average size of a nation? I'd like to start small.

Most of Europe and its surrounds are claimed, dunno specifics. India is claimed by me.

Meh, if I were to join with just northern Italy I would be far too small to compete with the other players, so I'm not that interestes. Also, why a WORLD map, I thought this was set in the Medieval times?

Well if anyone wants to rp Aztecs I guess that's what it's there for. Actually, I intended to crop the picture to only Asia, Europe, and Africa, but I forgot to and just linked the picture.
Size doesn't matter. If you were to join with only North Italy, it wouldn't make you too small to compete with the others. It depends on your military, economy, and organization.

Looks the same lol.

Accepted, I'm not familar with Italian geography, and you'll have to take it up with the map maker.

[Adenian]

I already claimed Italy and Sicily, the OP still has yet to tell me whether i'm accepted or what I need to change to be accepted.

Edited my Application.

[Alto Mantovano]

Great, I will provide flags and CoAs once I'm on my computer.
Same goes with the Map.

[Adenian]

Well this is a little irritating.

[Alto Mantovano]

Well this is a little irritating.

Apologies. Although, I.m only claiming a small part of Italy, above Rome, basically. Historically, Aragon only had Sicily, Sardinia and Naples, and that much later, if I remembef correctly. Perhaps we can work out an agreement?

Except Venice and the upper half of Italy is Capitol lands. And i'm not Roleplaying as Aragon, just using the Aragon/Sicily flag and arms, for lack of finding an actual historic "Italian Kingdom" flag. I could've used the Venetian flag, come to think of it, but... Hmm. I have two Ideas. One, you can be a vassal state and have the northwestern quarter of the peninsula, including Corsica and Sardinia, or you can stage a rebellion in the area with a little help from France and conquer it yourself. Both options are good, and the latter has some really decent RP value.

Allen, you mind being a co-op? All I need for you to do is help me sort out the apps and accept them.

[Alto Mantovano]

Ah, I see... Being a vassal would certainly help, due to my small size, but I suppose for equality, bein "independent" would be better.

I don.t know, I let you other guys decide, or whatever the OP says about the situation.

[Verdum]

Italy taken?
Or Venice?

[Adenian]

Ah, I see... Being a vassal would certainly help, due to my small size, but I suppose for equality, bein "independent" would be better.

I don.t know, I let you other guys decide, or whatever the OP says about the situation.

If Grey Wolf or Allen do accept me, I can see three scenarios happening that i'm all willing to do.

You get the North half of Italy unconditionally and I end up moving my Capitol to Rome and DIssolve the Papal States but keep the pope in Rome. (No RP Value)

You Be a vassal state and hold the north half of Italy, I move my Capitol to Rome, and you Retain a sort of autonomy like historic Medieval France of this era (Lords wage private wars, both with foreign and domestic lords), and enjoy the protection of the rest of the Kingdom (Ideal Compromise for me)

Or you can try conquering the northern half (Would let you win, but wont have more than half of the north) and have your new kingdom live with my Kingdom breathing down your neck with Casus Belli (Legit Reason for War) to kick your butt once stronger again. (Decent RP value, but not as ideal)

I'm more than willing to let you have some or all of what you have, if there's RP value. But if the OP or Co-Op forces asks me to just hand it over, I will.

Also, All of Italy is taken/contested. It's what we're discussing now.

Your app is accepted.

Then all that remains is what to do with the land north of Tuscany and the area there.
