Power: The Empty Throne (Closed)

[Brother Shatterstone]

Nooooooooo.. What I said was that people who couln't handle receiving e-mail from one more source (the DM of this game) shouldn't have an e-mail address. And that was before I admitted that people who use a non-web-based e-mail would have a genuine problem.

That might have been what you wanted to say but its not what you said:

I can understand why Gomez, as the DM, might have a problem with handling individual "threads" by e-mails, as it would mean 16 different people to deal with, but any player having any such issue really shouldn't even have an e-mail address.

Not nearly as kind, not nearly as understanding, and quite possible for someone to take offense to. (Which I really didn't.)

Let's not make a Tarrasque out of a kobold here. Let's wait for the game for that.

I agree. I just wanted to help you out before you honesty offended someone by accident.

Well, if you read the whole thread, and take quotation marks in context as well, you'll see that there is no difference between what I "meant" to say and what I actually said.

But whatever. Let's get on with the game, and fight it out -there-!

Is their? As requested all of your words in the post in question:

Anyway, I don't really mind how it's handled, so just let me know, and let me know who I'm playing.

I don't see anything that changes what I said... and I don't see anything that backs up your change of words/heart until a few posts later. but whatever.

But whatever. Let's get on with the game, and fight it out -there-!

Why would our two character's fight? Doesn't it seem a little metagamed to let an OOC discussion influence our character's IC actions?

Well.. The goal of the game is to become emperor.. There's only one.. So no matter what, we'll be "fighting".

And all I said was that we could handle the personal "threads" by e-mails. By that, it's pretty easy to see that I meant an exchange of e-mails between the DM and the players (which, for players, would only mean e-mails from the DM). Then, I granted that it dould be a problem for people who use non-web-based e-mail. That is all.

It’s very near sided thinking of not aligning yourself with at least someone in the beginning… and that’s were we are starting. (or you all. I’m still an alternate in this game and doubt I can really join till after the 27 or so.)

Again what you meant to say and what you said are two different things... (I'm taking of the very first post you made.) Again what you said could be seen as being rude and I would hope you would gain something from this experience. Double check your words and be quick to apologize when you make a mistake… Nothing more nothing less.

Alright. You are right, and I was wrong.

I understand that there can only be one. So all past freindships may be thrown out the window. But ......


Do you have any basic guidlines as who is/was friendly with who? And who is known by whom?

There are 2 admirals and 2 Generals. Will/where they cohorts or bitter rivals as they climbed the ranks?


Are any of the Admirals/Generals heros of the general populace?
