(IR) Preparations for the IR - Thread 3

[Uvenelei]

Ok, I've seen the PL changes for Lyrn and Ishtarland, and they make perfect sense. I've also seen the ruling that everyone gets 10th level magic right away, and I agree it's the right way to go, even if before I felt special, being the only good aligned power with such power, but oh well
It just moves the distribution of 10th level magic to everyone up by one round.

I support the Round 0 idea, too. Just to get all the pre-IR wheeling and dealing set before the new wheeling and dealing begins.

There are 25 people in the IR.

If 25 people post just twice each to the board, that's 50 posts, GnomeWorks.

If you look at the history of the IRs, you will see just how many posts people like to pile up quickly! (hehe, including me!)

And there are still Contested Nations.

GnomeWorks and Melkor are contesting Greyhawk.
I see a source of diplomatic pressure and threats there.
Erypt is being contested between Lynux and someone else.
The Hold of the Sea Princes is being contested between Forsaken One and Lynux.
There are reasons aplenty and to spare for those 50 posts to add up.

Remember that the United Commonwealth of Toril may wish to make a rebuttal of the Sending of the Wanderer.
They aren't exactly going to be happy that they have been relentlessly and untruthfully slandered before an entire world (indeed, all of Greyspace.)

Incidentally, if John Brown doesn't show, we had better find someone else to play Iuz.
I have enough on my hands, reading posts and posting the War News (as it were, so people won't get lost in the sea of posts), and cannot run Iuz and his Empire.

Hmm after meeting and a little discussion with my allies. Retracting the claim and contest with Vecna.

 

[The Forsaken One]

Since Edena missed it:

RePost:

Retract my claim over the hold of the sea princes. I'll just come for it when we start. Why contest it when you can just walk in and grab it abit later.

And I just made up a "little" PC. The Scion Queens Proxy, a demipower of GREAT Psionic power. (with PL6). Total immunity to magic and what's cast at it get's reflected to the caster. Area effects or time effects it ignores and moves along with the casters' new time frame if it desires to do so. It's only vulnorable for psionics attacks and thinks only the innate powers of the mind are a true gift and the only true power is psionic. It really detests Wizards but even with it's detest of magic it respects sorcerers for they to wield a inborn power which their heritage earned.
It's bound to the will of the scion mother like all formians but it is allowed to think for itself, defiance of the queen mothers will isn't possbible. her control is absolute.

Live for the Swarm!!!

Forgotten One, can you make your PC a mortal?

Otherwise, we will have a PC Arms Escalation the likes of which I don't care to think about.

Vecna is a sole exception, since he comes from the official rules, and is there to throw some scare into people.

[The Forsaken One]

If you rule it's mortal it's mortal it just doesn't age that fast if you know what I mean

 

[Mr. Draco]

Everybody get 10th level magic turn 1? Jeez, there goes my advantage. Oh well, time to re-think strategies.

 

[Turrosh Mak]

Turn Zero

I like it.
It will allow some of the secret diplomacy to be brought out into the open and give so background as to why people are allied with whomever.
Great Idea

To Darkness and to Lynux

Darkness, Lynux, you are both contesting Erypt.
And no resolution in sight ... you both need the points.

Shall I open one of the other western countries for claiming, and let one of you take it?

I am thinking of creating a country, that sits on the coast between the Celestial Imperium and Erypt. Heaven knows, there's room for such a nation.
It would have a mixture of cultures between the two nations it straddles.

It would have a power level equivalent to Erypt's.

Would that do, or do you two wish to continue the Contention?

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

GnomeWorks, Melkor, you are both contesting Greyhawk.

Now, I know for a fact that Melkor will not give up the City of Greyhawk.
He's wanted it from the beginning.

I could split the Domain of Greyhawk into two parts.
The northern part, including the City of Greyhawk, and the southern part which was the Wild Coast.

Or, GnomeWorks, you can go ahead and Contest for the whole Domain of Greyhawk.
It will be a fierce war, if I know Meklor, with no quarter given or received.

Or, Melkor, you can go ahead and claim the whole Domain, and insist on holding the Wild Coast.
It will be one heck of a war, for I don't think GnomeWorks is going to back down.

It is up to you two.
