(IR) IR Interlude, between Turns 3 and 4

The Black Brotherhood will pay tribute...to the monumental arrogance you've shown in asking for tribute. Congratulations, pal. We'd send you a fruit basket, but you're already fruity enough without our help.

To all Players in the IR

Edena_of_Neith here.

I need Templates from:

Alyx
Black Omega
Creamsteak
Dagger (I need your revised Template again, Dagger.)
Darkness
Festy Dog
Forrester
GnomeWorks
Maudlin
Lord Melkor (Talos)
Rhialto the Marvellous
Sollir Furryfoot
Uvenelei
Valkys
William
Zelda



Alzem, o' Skoteinos, (and everyone else needing further clarification) I will explain what a Template is, here and now.

- - -

A Template is your way of telling me how you are distributing your Power Level (PL)

You are telling me which Arms Races you are in.
You are telling me if you are sharing technology, and who with.
You are telling me if you are Advancing your Civilization.
You are telling me if you are researching 10th level magic.
You are telling me where your armies are, and how strong they are.
You are telling me which of the PL in your armies are not regular troops, but are instead Planars, Undead, Monsters, or Constructs.

Your Total PL is given in the Lists.

Here is what you do:

1:

Calculate your total PL.
Total PL is just that ... everything.
All your PL from countries plus all your PL from the Arms Races.
Your total PL is what you use to spend. Always.
No other number matters. Only your total PL.

2:

Decide if you intend to share technology with anyone.
Figure out who you will share with at this time.

3:

Figure out how many points you intend to spend, if any, to Advance Your Civilization.

4:

Figure out how many points you intend to spend, if any, to research 10th level magic.

5:

Deduct those points from your PL total.

6:

With the remainder, allocate PL to create armies.
Each army has exactly the amount of PL you allocate to it.
You may create as many armies as you wish, so long as each one has a PL of 1 or greater.
You may create armies anywhere in the territory you control.
If you control no territory, you create armies under special circumstances - in your case, Alzem, you would create them on Hope Isle, and they would subsequently move to Oerth.

7:

Look at your numbers in the Planar, Undead, Monster, and Construct Arms Races.
Change that much of the PL of the armies you have created into the beings in question, as you choose.
And remember that Planars, Undead, Monsters, and Constructs fight better than regular troops, so changing 1 PL of regular troops into 1 PL of these types increases the strength of that army.

- - -

Then, write the Template out as follows:

I am in (not in) the Planar Arms Race.
I am summoning (3 different kinds of planar beings.)

I am in (not in) the Technological Arms Race.
I am sharing technology with (names of the other players or their Powers)

I am in (not in) the Magical Arms Race.
I am spending (x number of points) in it (or, I am spending no points in it.)

I am in (not in) the Undead Arms Race.
I am summoning (good or evil) Undead.

I am in (not in) the Monster Arms Race.

I am in (not in) the Construct Arms Race.

My forces are deployed as follows:

Force #1 has a PL of (number), and it is in (name of country, or general area)

Force #2 has a PL of (number), and it is in (name of country, or general area)

Force #3 has a PL of (number), and it is in (name of country, or general area)

Force #4 has a PL of (number), and it is in (name of country, or general area)

Force #5 has a PL of (number), and it is in (name of country, or general area)

etc.

I have a value of (x) in the Planar Arms Race.

(x) of my PL in force #1 are Planars.
(x) of my PL in force #2 are Planars.
(x) of my PL in force #3 are Planars.
etc.

I have a value of (x) in the Undead Arms Race.

(x) of my PL in force (number) are Undead.
(x) of my PL in force (number) are Undead.
etc.

I have a value of (x) in the Monster Arms Race.

(x) of my PL in force (number) are Monsters.
(x) of my PL in force (number) are Monsters.
etc.

I have a value of (x) in the Construct Arms Race.

(x) of my PL in force (number) are Constructs.
(x) of my PL in force (number) are Constructs.
etc.

You may not have more PL in Planars in your armies than you have PL in the Planar Arms Race.
The same applies to the Undead, Monster, and Construct Arms Races.

The exception to this rule is Valkys, most of whose force is Planar Unseelie (and he may designate the percentage as it pleases him.)
The other exception is Maudlin, much of whose force is Undead (and he may designate the percentage as it pleases him.)

I will once more provide an example of a Template.
Here is that example:

Let us say I am the player Maudlin.
Looking at the Lists Post, here is what I find:

MAUDLIN (Planar Evil Demons/Xeg-Yi, Evil Undead, Vast Swamp, Sunndi, Acererak, People of Hempmonaland, Minions of Acererak, Scarlet Brotherhood) PL 155 + 31 = 186

1. My total PL is 186
2. I will share technology with Mr Draco / Serpenteye, Kalanyr, Forsaken One, Festy Dog, Melkor, Sollir, and Anabstercorian. And also Valkys.
3. I will spend 90 points to advance my civilization
4. I will spend 20 points on researching 10th level magic.

5. I have 76 PL left, since I have spent 110 PL out of 186 total PL.

6. I will create armies (see below)
7. I will make most of my armies undead.

Here then, is the Template I will be sending to Edena_of_Neith

I am in the Planar Arms Race.
I continue summoning Demons and Xeg-Yi.
Since I have a third Planar group I am allowed to call, and I have not used it, I am also summoning Planar Dracoliches.

I am in the Technological Arms Race.
I am sharing Technology with Anabstercorian, Festy Dog, Forsaken One, Kalanyr, Melkor, Mr Draco / Serpenteye, Sollir, and Valkys.
Also, I have decided to share technology with Rhialto.

I am in the Magical Arms Race.
I am spending 10 points this turn on research.

I am in the Undead Arms Race.
I continue to summon evil undead.

I am in the Monster Arms Race.
I am creating undead trolls, which regenerate as per normal trolls, but are otherwise undead.
(And Edena_of_Neith increases your PL gained in the Monster Arms Race from 1 to 3 for that stunt, too.)

I am in the Construct Arms Race.
I like GnomeWork's flying iron golems. We are producing iron golems, and working on duplicating those great little monsters of GnomeWork's.

Force #1: 30 PL, in the Tomb of Horrors
Force #2: 30 PL, in Irongate
Force #3: 16 PL, in the Scarlet Brotherhood fleet sitting offshore in the Tilva Straits.

Nearly all of my forces are Undead.

( My PL in the Planar Arms Race is 6.
My PL in the Undead Arms Race is 3.
My PL in the Monster Arms Race is 2.
My PL in the Construct Arms Race is 2. )

(You don't have to write the above down. I have done so for convenience.)

3 of the PL of my force #2 is Planar.
3 of the PL of my force #3 is Planar
3 of the PL of my force #1 is Undead (Note that this is a moot point, since Maudlin has specified that all his forces are undead anyways, unless otherwise noted)
2 PL of my force #3 is Monsters
2 PL of my force #2 is Constructs

Now, Maudlin gains a special bonus.
Because he can make all of his forces undead, he gains 3 PL of additional undead, as per his score in the Undead Arms Race.
Valkys would gain a similar bonus to his Planars.
This wouldn't apply to any other player.

The additional 3 PL of undead go to my force #1.

Maudlin, is finished with his Template.

Edena, I've been busier in my real life now then I have been for a long, long time. Fortunatly, I'm reaping the rewards for my RL dedication, that that is small consolation to those in the IR .

I'm with you, I am with this war for as long as it continues, for as long as you all want me. I'll always be one of the slow posters - my location in the world pretty much makes that a given. But I'll stick with all of you.

I'll be E-mailing my template soon.

Serpenteye,


It might actually take a day or two for us to get back with you on my idea or any idea, we have yet to hear from several of the alliance. We are trying to make sure all members of the alliance have a say in the matter.

Welcome back, Alyx.


Welcome aboard o' Skoteinos. I hope you will have a lot of fun here.

Edena, I will send my template in no later than Friday morning, hopefully tomorrow night.

Guys, let us stop attacking each other OUT OF CHARACTER! This is a game. Can we be respectful to each other.

Edena, o' Skoteinos

You also a have a verbal commitment from me, as well. A modified Template is being sent soon as per your request.

o' Skoteinos welcome aboard, I have sent you an email, like you requested

Welcome back Alyx as well

Welcome back, Alyx.

A cheer to Turrosh Mak, who was one of our best players!

A big welcome to 'o Skoteinos.

A big welcome back to Alzem.

Thank you, all of you, for your support. (thumbs up to you all)

Edena_of_Neith

I'l stick to the IR.

Edena_of_Neith said:

'o Skoteinos is now the player of the Pomarj.

He gains all of Turrosh Mak's countries, PL, and everything else.

What he chooses to do, and who he chooses to ally with, is up to him.

I will add 'o Skoteinos to the Lists.

- - -

My reversal of the ruling on Forrester, stands.

I am still waiting to see of Alzem is joining the IR.

- - -

IR Interlude should not have been the name of this thread.
IR Insanity should have been it's name.

You people realize that we have lost Turrosh Mak's chatroom, don't you?
We have lost Turrosh Mak's IR Website, a disaster.

I will back up all the IR threads, but I cannot produce a website, nor can I place these threads up for reading anytime soon.

- - -

I will begin Turn 4 of the IR on Saturday, at 1 in the afternoon my time (13:00 hours eastern time, United States of America.)

This assumes I receive all of the Templates by that time, and they are accurate.

There is no change in Turrosh Mak's roster.
The name is changed to 'o Skoteinos.

Farewell, Turrosh Mak, and thank you for playing.
I really enjoyed having you in the IR.
I will miss you badly.
If you ever decide to return, let me know. You will be welcome to return.

Edena_of_Neith

Click to expand...

The chat room is still open to all who wish to use it, and the GIRA website will remain. Hopefully I will get a chance to update it. The first two IRs will defenatly be in there, The third, well that depends how big it gets. I'm limited to 25mb of space I beleve
---
'O Skoteinos, wecome to the madness which is the Industrial Revolution. I know that you have plenty of free time
---
Edena, thank you for having me. It was great fun, and I wish I could stay, but...
If you need anything, just drop me a line and I will see what I can do. 'O Skoteinos, Talk to william Ronald if you want to try and maintain your place in the Oreth Alliance.
~Bugbear, Formaly Turrosh Mak

Thayadon will ask Mystra's other chosen (on Toril) for advise on what to do.
