I vote that Cricket rides an actual cricket.

But to answer your question: you don't need to fill out a sheet or anything to give your character a mount. You can just say, IC, that your dudette is riding on one. Most of the writing and worldbuilding here will be done IC- I'm not the type of GM to make you fill out sheets for everything you wanna do. You can just give her a mount.

@Tortoise

Roter probably has a horse or is hitchhiking on one of the caravan's wagons.

The Ghosts of Napoleon

That a non-negligible number of people in Egypt were cutting off their hands, fingers, or blinding themselves by dripping rat poison into their eyes to escape enlistment in Muhammad Ali's army or corvee work system, or emigrating from the country all together, and that by and large you control the lands that Muhammad Ali controls now, who would be inhabited by people not at all happy with the fact that now all their shit can be confiscated as the centralized property of the state, his state.

@Dinh AaronMk

I like it, especially the latter part. So basically, another rumbling of popular discontent like in the Palestinian Revolt.

Bee, you're god modding with posts like the one you keep trying to put out.

@Dinh AaronMk

Yeah, it's unintentional; I didn't mean anything ill.

Hmm, want to help me brainstorm ideas for what I can write about instead?

You again prove you did not read it, or read it very well. Neither did you understand it, if you did.

@Dinh AaronMk

The French are planning to grow cotton elsewhere as a long-term solution; I got that. I just thought they'd buy from Egypt in the short-to-medium term (which granted, might have been wishful thinking on my part).

Edit: That said, my thought processes have been getting erratic (again) lately. Sorry for the inconvinience.

1) you didn't actually read it

2) no, he would have to be an agent of the state. The regime of Muhammad Ali wouldn't have the power it has without forcing people to do shit for it.

@Dinh AaronMk

1.) Sorry; let me do so right now.

2.) I'll delete what I posted.

3.) Read it. So the French will only buy cotton from Egypt if Egypt lowers its rates to below what the English give?

The Ghosts of Napoleon

@Letter Bee

Bee, under which circumstance do you think France is buying Egyptian cotton.

And secondly, under which circumstance would a private merchant be operating in Egypt when the Egyptian state acts as the sole purchaser and seller of all goods in the Egyptian realm, as it is also the sole land-owner of all Egypt.

@Dinh AaronMk

1.) For the War with Russia, with Egypt selling for lower prices but at greater bulk.

2.) Oh, my god; I forgot about that. Damn myself. Perhaps he could have been allowed to lease out the land from the state? Or I can retcon him into being a state official?

@MagusDream, so, your thoughts on Roter and if Ark is willing to be friends with him?

Edit: I hope the question wasn't tactless!

<Snipped quote by Katakuri>

If it's at all relevant to anyone's characters, my dude is dying. Like, literally dying. He's cursed and will continue to grow weaker and sicker until he passes away one day, possibly during the course of the RP, if I decide I'm ready to move on to another character.

So, there's always a potential roleplaying opportunity with doctor-y characters, since he might need medicines or magical painkillers or whatnot from them.

@Tortoise

It's relevant to my recently-posted OC, too.
