Hello, everyone:
I have been busy, and will submit by template submitted soon. I will try to do more roleplaying posts. My life is getting busier, so I just got caught up. I think we need to pace ourselves a bit. I am enjoying the game, but I will have to figure how often I can post. I will try to work on a few stories from Al'Akbar.
Rikandur, I was not ignoring your ambassador, but I do have limits on my time that I did not have in the 3rd IR. I will try to work within them.
I kind of prefer to keep everything PG-13, as this is EN World. I am not a prude, but I don't see much of a need for explicit content.

"The Treaty of Ekbir Organization is proud to announce its two newest members
PUBLIC POST:
Caliph Xargun of Ekbir announces the following.
"The Treaty of Ekbir Organization is pleased to welcome its two newest members, the Miranda Alliance and the Empire of Lynn. We hope that other nations that have common cause with us will consider signing the treaty. Ours is a defensive alliance. The Malkuvah Baklunim respects the territorial rights of others, and asks them to respect our rights as well."
"Emperor Al'Akbar is still waiting on the ambassadors who are waiting to see him."
SOLLIR
[sblock]The ambassadors answer the great Mercane's question about requirements. "The gifts are yours regardless of whatever decision you make. We would appreciate an alliance with you.[/sblock.]
ELUVAN , but public as everyone knows about it anyways.
[sblock]From a time when I announce the Treaty of Ekbir.
"Emperor Al'Akbar would like to offer the Treaty of Ekbir to the League of Athyr. We see the treaty as a way for good and neutral aligned powers to cooperate. Existing members can vote on new members. All member nations should have a voice in matters considered by the Treaty of Ekbir Organization. A long-lasting alliance is one where there are shared values and interests, where more than one voice is heard and considered."
"While we do not consider the members of the Treaty of Erheli-Cinlu to be necessarily enemies, we are somewhat concerned that the Baklunish Empire was not asked to sign the treaty. Also, it seems that only one or two members set policy for the member nations. Perhaps this is a misperception. Mind you, the Baklunish Empire will stand with the TEC and any nation on Oerth against the Whispered One."[/sblock]

ANABSTERCORIAN AND PUBLIC POST
[sblock]Caliph Xargun also makes another public announcement.
"A nation which has maintained trade relations with the Baklunish Empire has asked for a treaty against perceived threats. It is our hope that diplomacy can perhaps prevent the possibility of conflict between two neighbors. Indeed, their combined might may be needed to face common threats."
The Greyhawk Defense Pact.
Whereas, the City of Greyhawk and its environs are a major trade center, the undersigned nations pledge to protect it and its environs from attack by the > forces of the Whispered One and Iuz, Lord of Evil, should either seek > to cause harm to either the Domain of Greyhawk or the Empire of the Brightlands. In exchange, the Triumvirate Rebellious -- Lord Rary, Lord Eli Tomorast, and Lord Robilar -- pledge to use their military and magical might to aid signatories if any of the signatory nations are attacked by either the Whispered One or Iuz, Lord of Evil.

"Ah, Zagyg is on Oerth and apparently Murlynd as well. I hope that they will be ready to stand against the threat that is to come. For in these times, no place on Oerth is safe. I believe Greyspace will have need of them both in the days to come."
"If I had time for a vacation, I might visit Aestia. Sadly, there seem to be no end to my responsibilities. I will send a brief letter to Murlynd in his new identity requesting an embassy and trade mission. The carving on the totem pole is excellent."
The totem pole is placed in the Ekbir public museum along with a brief note on its origins.

OOC: I'll try to be back in the afternoon or evening my time to react to things that haven't happened yet. (Tons of studying to do.) Serpenteye, you might want to check the Mega Post for information on the World of Greyhawk Calendars and the months of the year. This may help in tracking time in the game. Possibly the four week long festivals outside of the months (one per season) might occur during the between turn discussion threads.

Arden considers, but only briefly. It does not take long before he speaks again to the ambassador. "I thank you for your kind offer. We live in dark times, and that darkness is growing and deepening daily. A steadfast ally is a valuable thing at the best of times, even more so in this age. As the forces of Evil grow in strength and boldness, those who stand for justice and virtue must stand together or fall one by one. On behalf of the League of Athyr, I accept your kind offer. We would be proud to count Miranda among our allies."
Sollir:
[sblock]Having put some serious thought in, I am not sure that direction will be a problem. Whatever I try to initiate, I do not think I could ever be left standing idle: it seems a given that Iuz will try to take Furyondy in short order, and there's no way I'm going to let that happen. I also have concerns in Geoff, and I suspect the Wolf God may make work for me. I certainly do appreciate your offer, though, and if you have a proposal I would be very interested to hear it. Bear in mind that all the 'private' tags in the world won't stop some people form reading sblocks so if you really want to communicate privately, feel free to email me.[/sblock]

All diplomacy and other role-playing is free-form, the only rule is to keep ooc-knowlege separate from ic-knowlege.
Eluvan said:I appreciate the offer of help, Anabstercorian.
But... what can I say? I'm muleheaded I guess. I need to do this myself if I'm going to enjoy it, I think.
So you don't want my help with the template?

Well, Vecna doesn't have any parts to get his ya-yas with (whatever that means
), but I see your point. The solution: I rule that all explicit sexual content shall be hidden be sblocks with a XXX tag. Like this:
Public, XXX

Me neither, truth be told. But some situations call for it. As long as its safely hidden noone need be offended.
William Ronald said:
No actual game-time passes during the discussion threads. They are just for discussion player to player, and not for interacting with NPCs. Nothing actually happens since no time actually passes, though your deals and treaties are still of course valid.
Those festivals do seem like a convenient time to start/end a turn, though.

Announcment:
Edena has asked permission to manage Thomas' faction until he returns, to play the faction independently of the Drow as a "good guy". I have granted his request, and believe that the faction is in very good hands.

Now I just have to figure out, if I'm being considered a threat or the weakest one.

FROM EDENA TO ALL IN THE IR
I have requested to play Thomas' power on Turn 1, and Serpenteye has granted permission.
Therefore, I cease being a player, and become a defacto DM.
A player does not play opposing factions. Only a DM can do that.
I did this in order to protect Thomas' power, so that his power would still be there on Turn 2, and the IR would still be a viable option for Thomas, when he returns to play ... and also so the IR will be funner, since it would be funner with Thomas' power still around.
Otherwise, given that Thomas' power has had no chance to negotiate, join treaties, or even know what is going on, it stands little chance on Turn 1.
Consider that all the powers around Thomas' main holdings in Aliador are TEC Pact members, and all of them except Nyrond are enemies.
Celene is threatened by both Paxus and by Guilt Puppy.
The Lendores are threatened by Guilt Puppy, Devilish, and Knight Otu, and also by Melkor.
The Yeomanry is threatened by Guilt Puppy and Paxus.
Someone needs to work with Thomas' power until he returns to play it, or until another player successfully claims it on Turn 2.
I, personally, think it would be very boring if his territories simply got eaten on Turn 1 without a fight because the player could not be present to negotiate, make treaties, and protect his powers.
Don't you?
The drow I am playing: you know what they are doing. They are all busy building the Great City. They are not being aggressive ... and if you look at their situation they have enough to handle right now.
If your powers attack them, they will of course respond.
But I think it only fair that the elves of the Flanaess (outside of those being played by Xael) have representation. Don't you?
So I will run Thomas' power on Turn 1 and maybe Turn 2 also. Unless a majority of players cry foul, and demand that it remain in Serpenteyes' hands.
I'll return to being just a player on Turn 2 or 3, playing the drow.
