431 BCE - An NRP of the Peloponnesian War

@UltikanaRe I think you misunderstand me, and should take a look at what ArenaSnow has written; I am not going to be controlling it to the point that I essentially run the Delian League/Athenian Empire, I'll be moulding it around what you and @Louis Dabout decide to do during the RP.

Also, are you seriously stating that Athens, the home of democracy and democratic rule, had no political parties? That Perikles was unopposed in his choices, and that Thukydides himself was not actually exiled by political opinion?

I'm genuinely confused at the moment.

@Sven the Silent Fair enough, if you think you can handle it, well then I'll take your word for it, sir. :)

431 BCE - An NRP of the Peloponnesian War

@UltikanaRe I control the Assembly according to the decisions made, and achievements/defeats placed at the feet of the players, as well as taking into account the more 'general' feeling across the board; one example would be if you lost a naval battle and wanted to try again immediatly, a move likely to be blocked by the pro-peace party but supported by the pro-war supporters and so forth.

@Sven the Silent If that is truly the case, do you think it even wise to be controlling Sparta at all? If your attentions are split, and you have your own RP to run, would it not be better to give Sparta over to someone with the time on their hands to use one of the two biggest powers in the war, then take on a smaller nation/city-state perhaps?

@Louis Dabout@UltikanaRe What do you say to that?

I get the feeling that you're deliberatly avoiding what could actually be a rather good deal - or you're intent on leading a nation single handidly, in which case there are plenty of powerful poleis that are neither claimed nor Sparta or Athens; Syracuse, Korinth, and Thebes are just three examples.

Sven has explained, Louis has also explained quite accurately, in the end it is up to you.

@Sterling Not really no, I keep an eye on things and intervene when/where I see fit, then I move everything along. Until then, feel free to post, generally go about your business - I expect everyone to eventually get to the site of the massacre, one way or another.

@UltikanaRe Firstly, what are you talking about?

Secondly, you'd be the head of a political party, not a random assembly goer. This would allow you to act as a Strategos or Navarch for Athens, as well as other options.

THESE are things people should think about.

Lastly, although I've no idea what you're on about, you'd need to discuss it with Sven.

@Louis Dabout@UltikanaRe@Sven the Silent@MetalLover@ArenaSnow@TheSage

Is everyone still here and interested, say now or forever hold your peace?

Ultikan and Louis, how would you feel about co-oping - at least initially? I'm going for an actual historical solution to this - having rival political factions in the Athenian Assembly - but will you two be willing to follow it?

Sven, you'd best be good with Sparta, I don't like the idea of handing one of the two major powers to just anyone; you can assure me that it'll get the attention it deserves?

I may well be interested...give me a nomadic folk, whether on foot or horse, and I shall lead them to glory.

My numero uno tip if you want a large word count; just go into detail! As in Tolkien amounts of detail, describing what people are wearing, what their actions are, their surroundings. If you do so, you will soon find that the number of words and the post length gets far larger than you first anticipated. ;)

Now, who is next?

Star Wars - Jedi Exile - Knights of the Last Republic

@Sep U WOT M8!

Last Clan feud was in the 1600's...wouldn't want another one...

You don't know what what is?

Star Wars - Jedi Exile - Knights of the Last Republic

Ya'll got three options...choose wisely.

I will say I didn't consult with @Sep on the subject, so if he has any objections...well...tough!
