It's hiding inside of stress, disappointment, and depression.

I have no qualm with you overthrowing Rone, Cale, but do not underestimate the level of hell I can rain down on you if you declare yourself overlord from far out of your reach. You've not so much as a rowboat to your name.

Uh, he has noble blood, because he's a son of a 'Lord of Therral' who is a vassal to the Overlord.

I didn't say he had common blood, I said he said he didn't have 'the right' blood, i.e. he isn't a Trisch.

Lord Solterra has no relation at all to the Overlord except that he took interest in Solterra and may or may not have possibly saw him as a rallying support, which turned out to be the opposite.

The only reason why Solterra was given the title of Lordship was literally because his blood line came from another royal family from another land (and he also had considerable riches inherited to himself) and that was the only reason why Rone had any sort of first thought to his even existence.

That is why Solterra is a Lord. And that is why he has a chance at the throne.

So... I don't think Helen would be happy if you declared yourself as Overlord...

That's something to be discussed with Flooby, but my men outweigh yours. While you can dwindle them, possibly with Nexerus' assistance, but Solterra will kill your Lord in the end.

And? To put it bluntly, your Lord is not a threat to Solterra. If metagaming was allowed, he'd probably hate your Lord. For each Lord that rises against Solterra, another army forms with him. One god damn bloody battle this will be, I can already see the OOC swords.

If you can ever reach me. We don't share even a secondary border.

You have some very severe delusions to work through before I'd feel comfortable calling you sane.

So already, you have Vearin, Trisch, the Church, and Aaldoranfeald, and Jorvik against you. You're going to win...how?

No, but if you send all the men through a grinder, their won't be anything blocking the path.

The Trisch has little to no military, killed by Bikriki's armies. The Church has nothing to blink an eye at in comparison

I'm as sane as any society would label. But first off, before we continue; I still haven't made any personal insults towards you or your actions. In fact if you really feel compelled to use this banter as fuel for your war, go ahead. Secondly, I would not be labeled insane or crazy in any sort of psych evaluation. I study Psychology, and not that the personal evaluation was made by myself, but it was reviewed by others who had the same point of view.

I am not an insane man, Nexerus. I'm blunt, paranoid, sometimes frightened or intimidated, but most of all I am stressed beyond repair and have a heart so big I am a grown man that cries over pain and anguish from others or myself, because you see, my mental state is affected by others. I have wild and uncontrollable emotions. Now while you may wish to call me a child, I have my own set of skills.

While those skills may not be mathematical, historical, grammatical, or even the simple... control, my skills are most heavily weighed in facts. I am stronger than you in ways as you are also stronger than me in others. You see I am very sane, and while you continue to slander me and harass me, I forbid it to lower myself to your inhuman standards.

Say what you will, say everything, spit it out. But at the end of the day, Solterra has a chance at that crown, and you'll just have to deal with me. Now, you will become slightly happier as I make this next decision; I'm done. Public talk is over, any relations or hostilities will be handled ingame. For I have to prepare Solterra for a random battle to happen without true reason. Spittle everything you have out here and now, if there really is more to say. But I will not speak in OOC again. I am tired of the hostility, false accusations, insults, and hollow grudges.

Alright, if that's how you feel.

In case anyone is holding their breath, the update is to come on midnight tomorrow. I apologize for any confusion!

Guys, let's be more nice to each other.

Don't encourage them. I like it when they're at each other's throats.

EDIT: The orders so far, they fill Flooby's heart with joy. I simply cannot wait for the next update. . .

Sometimes, I am concerned at all the crazy that surrounds me, but I guess that's just what the "Birds of a Feather" is for.

Flooby, should we declare our succession laws openly or via PM if they deviate from the assumed standard (agnatic-cognatic primogeniture)?

PM me about them. Nobody needs to tell me exactly how their succession works unless their Lord dies. Usually, I'll just send a PM to confirm how their succesion works, or otherwise who they named their heir.

Succession law should be public. Otherwise, political instability en masse on ruler death.

Mine is agnatic primogeniture and IC you all know that.

So, finished my Mercenary app.....

I'll be reviewing/accepting your sheet tonight, and including you in the update most likely.

Last thing before I head to class, I wish to rescind an earlier decision I'd made in regards to discipline: so long as a levy is raised, and they aren't patrolling, or doing some other action, they will be considered to be training inefficiently. If they are just chilling in a fief where there is a training ground, then they will receive the full benefits of training and its discipline bonus.

This is something I think is more fair to the people who have a standing army, as a standing army that has never seen combat is still likely more disciplined than a rabble of peasants who never fought another man, let alone got organized for a battle.

EDIT: As for announcing succesion types, it sounds like a good idea actually. Would everyone mind do that now, please? Or at least naming your intended heir.
