Current Sometimes it doesn’t matter too much what choice you make, as long as you make it quick and stick to it.

You should laugh every moment you live, for you'll find it decidedly difficult afterwards.

Bio

Hey there, I assume you want to know about me so here it is...

The name is gowia (g-ow-ee-ah) or Alex. Or anything else you come up with, I'm not fussy.

I am a 25 year old male, though comfortably I'll play anything as a character.

I am a Brit born and bred and so that is my lingo, I use British words and love my slang, and if I don't seem to make sense I may simply be using English idioms that don't translate outside the rural country abodes I swan around.

I enjoy all sorts of things, I am an avid football (soccer) player and supporter, adore music, and live for a good story. I am in love with history. So you will always get a decent plot or conversation out of me on that subject.

If there is anything else you need to ask, feel free too. I swear I don't bite... much.

Lord Jakob Frey, Lord of the Crossing Jakob smiled as the Martell princess left. Hower inside he was scowling, she was a powerful friend and Jakob hadn't expected the Lannister so quickly. SIghing he decided that the group present was still one with a single interest at heart and so now was the time to plot, or at least plan. If what Khailey said was true then a chance like this could skyrocket a man such as himself. Or it could kill him, in which case he would want to be the one hurling these thoughts into the ground. Another action that could bring great reward. The group was silent for a moment as the Hand was announced. The Stark boy, it seemed the King was a fool indeed, the Stark boy was no politician. Jakob had never really wanted the role either, but he was still a better schemer than the Stark and he recognised the opportunity the King had lost with other candidates. Gwayne Tyrell would beside himself, Jakob thought. Perhaps another man I must speak too again tonight. Bringing himself back to the present he led the small procession of the Baratheon and Lannister out of the main feasting hall. Turning a corner he spied an empty room that looked as if it had stored the tables. Perfect. Stepping inside he turned on the two companions and started to speak. "Let's make this brief. A person such as myself, and a Baratheon may not be missed at a party like this but a Lannister will. Ser Vernon, I had the fortune of bumping into Khailey earlier. Lovely girl, unfortunately she made some troubling remarks about her, or more specifically the Lannisters, thoughts on the King. I'm not here to beat around the bush, and I am sure the Baratheons are no fonder of this King as you are. You will need friends in the coming weeks. Friends who hold some power. If there were a war I could promise you that the Starks would rush to the Targaryens, the Tyrells will be a wild car now and Dorn. Again I am not sure about them. I have a feeling that the Baratheons, and so the Stormlands, would follow you against the King. The question is the Riverlands for me. Myself, the Tullys and many other Houses have suffered under the Baelish house. We would not oppose a new King, though nor would we support one that supports House Baelish. I shall meet with the other Riverlords tonight to discuss this but first, I must know how you plan to change the Riverlands, IF you came into power. And more specifically how you would benefit a messenger who brought an opportunity. Such as myself."
<Snipped quote by gowia> I think the confusion happened here: <Snipped quote by UltikanaRe> He thought that he had not taken into account the starting four points, while when I was trying to help him out, he (I presume) did not notice that I did take that into consideration. Also, while we (or I) have your attention, do I need to take a certain trait for a Tercio-style army, or could I just say when I ask for rolls: "Could I have some Pikemen and Cavalry added to my army", knowing fully that such a request will reduce the number of my musket-clad soldiers?
Even so, taking into account the starting 4, his points equaled -4. I understand that happening and so apologise for the manner of my point however my point stands. The rolls are void and new ones will have to be made. Thank you for apologising though @UltikanaRe, I shall make re rolls soon because the fact is that there were extra positives in there, I would do the same for any situation that meant a change in traits, no matter how small. Population I will keep the same however as that is quite an appropriate pop and traits have little effect on it. Thats more about your description. Only just got up. In regards to taking outdated army, normally you would get arquebusiers and a few musket armed men however if you would prefer I can replace some of the musket armed men with pikes. So you get a mix of pikes, muskets and arquebusiers. Cav I am leaving out for know as it is just another thing to work out. And I am short on time as it is.
@UltikanaRe Your traits equal -4...your rolls are now void. Sorting out rolls takes my time and effort, which is valuable to me, so you have one chance to change your traits. Otherwise im not gunna bother myself it. Bitch over.
The lore isnt massive. Its a different future of the world in the wiki so we have some room to wiggle.
Yeah post into CS tab and IC is not open, I put up a quick check so people can easily see each others and their own stats
KK, is it ok if I change my pop to 4716300 since it is only a few thousand off? It fits my demographics and that population does not quite fit.
The population roll is a rough number, you can assume its slightly less or slightly more.
Well firstly you have ships of line which not everyone will, you have an average roll for frigates, barques are good number and there is a pitiful number of brigs. Your galleys you have a fair number but galleys are outdated now. Its in order of power too, to clear things up with ships. So SoL is best with Galley as the worst.
Army: 10,000 Pikemen 5,000 Longbowmen 12,000 Croosbowmen Navy: 3 Ships of Line 5 Frigates 10 Barques 3 Brigs 5 Galleys GDP: 71,000,000,000 ($) (Fairly Wealthy) Population: 4,750,000 Stability: Slightly Stable @UltikanaRe There you go, there are the rolls. May want to edit your cities populations.
Haha yeah I guess it is...anyways, finished with the traits???
