(IRR) The Rokugan Industrial Revolution (OOC) (Turn 1)

[Knight Otu]

Is there a chance that we will see the map at some time?

 

[Creamsteak]

It kinda depends on whether or not the IR ever catches up with itself. I may not be posting a whole lot of answers all the time, but I don't see much reason when more than half of the players don't have anything to say or do about anything. I'm going to wrap up this turn soon just to do it, and hope that turn 2 goes better. If it doesn't... (foreboding flash)...

Definately, I've finished everything but the "Europe" part. Though I am having some ideas about the area they are not really very creative, they are too stereotypical right now.
The drawing of the map is completed, I'll just have to add a few borders and I could do that in 5 seconds once I've decided what to fill them with. I could e-mail it to you if you want.

It will... I have plans...

 

[Creamsteak]

Eh... you'd be very surpised if I told you what my "schedule" for this turn was going to be. The one I had planned out for multiple months before I recieved templates... Very surprised... but I never actually found the ability to initiate it. The second I would do so... some of you more diplomatic players could have quickly prevented me from commiting my forces to that particular area... but now I'm in a hole for PL next turn because I didn't really construct too much...

Though technically I could still follow through, and I'm considering it up until the last minute...

Heh! That was the situation I and Draco faced against the OA the last 5 turns of the 3rd IR. How does it feel to get a taste of your own medicine? (Grr, that Lone Heath- debacle was soo irritating )

Btw. how much remains of turn 1?

Yes, that is the big problem.

I guess I'll send a character to the Scorpion as a sign that I'm ready to judge their actions. Hopefully both Macbrea and Tokiwong will be ready for it....

Heh... what I hated most about being in the OA was the fact that I could never get a solid vote to attack you. I could have gone in alone, but the alliance always spent too much time politically analyzing an attack on you. It would have been REALLY nice had I done it on turn 3, when most of your power was locked up...

I'm still coveting my huge attack plan against the union, I cut out the section of the map that we would be fighting over and blew it up to the size of the normal map, then put in little arrows and symbols to direct the attack... would have been fantastic if I caught you at the right time... dang political types! Then again, during turn 2 and 4+ any attack would have resulted in my forces getting put down... so my decision wasn't all that bad...

I'll tell you the amount of time left as soon as I know it . I'm basically thinking of canceling the contest, as nobody has posted anything too it since WR posted... well almost nobody...

 

[Lichtenhart]

Maybe I'm wrong, but WR said he was ready to judge the Jade contest, which still needs a duel chart, while the Emerald contest just lost a candidate, which, if I'm right, means there are 8 remaining so so we could choose a simpler way to handle it. I haven't posted yet there because my first duel was against myself () and it wasn't the first in the schedule, but I'm still interested on it.

 

[William Ronald]

I am ready to serve as a judge.

Creamsteak, I was more than willing to support your attack. Part of the problem was that I could never convince kaboom to make any strong military commitments. (If you, kaboom, and Zelda had moved against the Union in Turn 3, let's say that you three would have to argue over how much land to take. That and I think Sollir could have waited a while.) The headache I had in the IR was trying to get some of the OA members to be more agressive while I was fighting every turn.

I have tried to catch up on the threads and the IRR is enjoyable. Mind you, I don't have the time to play.

Serpenteye, good job on the country descriptions. By the way, how surprised were you when we dragged out the Oerth Alliance -- complete with a flag?

 

[Creamsteak]

Glad to see see that. Yes, I remember quite well what was going on, now that you reminded me. Everyone was so caught up in themselves (which is oddly like real world politics) that none of them were concerned with the Unions power, or even the Red Goo until it was on top of them. Bravery didn't earn us a whole lot of respect either, until someone's own country was bloodied.

And serpenteyes work on countries is great, and interesting. I'm not so sure about where the contests are going, and since I don't have a game tomorrow: I'll try and update all of my threads. I didn't get online till 11 PM tonight, and I'll be unconscious very soon .

Try looking up "creamsteak" or any other IR names on Google and you can find the Gira Site. I always thought that was interesting...
