Current Remember, nobody actually enjoys roleplaying if there isn't at least five shameful fetishes uncovered by the 2nd page.

Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

To be fair, I would have done Cthulhu as well if it wasn't already taken.

Speaking of which, I still gotta finish reading my Lovecraft collection. I'm like 5 stories away from Call of Cthulhu. Impatient me is impatient and ran off to start 3 other books.

The Jarl won't let the Thalmor into Whiterun.


It shouldn't matter what the Jarls want, they're bound by the White-Gold Concordat.

Irileth: "Was it cowardly then to accept the White-Gold Concordat?"
Balgruuf: "This again?! That was different. Was I given a chance to object to the terms of the treaty? No. The Jarls weren't asked. We were told. And we had to like it."

Source

"The White-Gold Concordat was the official name given to the agreement signed that ended the Great War of the Fourth Era. The Great War was fought between the human-dominated Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion comprised primarily of Altmer of the Summerset Isles. Although the exact cause(s) of the conflict aren't specified, the Elven Supremacist government, the Thalmor, as well as a few quotes throughout Skyrim suggest the Elves were the aggressors. The events of this occurred after the Oblivion Crisis (the events of Oblivion) and before those of Skyrim. The treaty was the only means to end the conflict for the Empire and heavily favors the Aldmeri Dominion, who would have otherwise crushed the Empire. Among its legislation was the outlawing of the worshiping of Talos, disbandment of the Blades and giving free reign to the Thalmor to move throughout the Empire and to hunt down any worshipers of this outlawed deity, and the slaughtering of the last of the Blades."

Bolded to highlight relevant section.

"A large tribute of gold would be paid to the Aldmeri Dominion, the Empire would give a large portion of southern Hammerfell to the dominion, the worship of Talos would be banned from the empire, The Blades would be forced to disband, and the Thalmor may have free reign in Skyrim (including the Thalmor Embassy) to stomp out the worship of Talos."

Source.

Since the Jarls are bound by the White-Gold Concordat, which allows Thalmor Justicars free reign to hunt down and arrest Talos worshipers, Heimskr should have been quickly found and detained with Jarl Balgruuf unable to speak against it. The City Guard can deny the Alik'r Warriors access to the city because Hammerfell and Skyrim have no formal treaties to honour, so the Jarl's laws can be enforced in that case.

It's actually in the game files that if the Empire takes control of Whiterun during the Civil War, Heimskr was meant to be arrested and taken to the dungeons. It was never actually implemented.

I imagine the reason Riften's been spared from Thalmor presence is because Riften sided with the Stormcloaks, which as you know are rebelling against both the Empire and the White-Gold Concordat.

Same idea, different words. :']Good post. :] Gives some direction.We should be doing that distress thing soon. Does it matter who writes that up?


I don't think so! I imagined the gist of it being Captain going "Attention, priority distress signal located from your mom. Intervention is requested" or whatever.

Yeah, guck paying an extra hundred for a half broken peripheral that I don't even want. I'm leaning really heavily towards a PS4 right now since I saw some BF4 footage. It's freakin gorgeous. Plus, more than 24 players per map! I'm down to play whatever tonight, but I leave for work in a few hours.


I have a gaming PC and I have like 70 hours logged on Battlefield 4. I care not for PS4s or XBones.

Oh, wait. I thought you said you were free tonight? Laame.

Considering the Thalmor are actively trying to track down and arrest Talos worshipers, they kind of missed the elephant in the room.
