Given current RL events, it's better for someone else to take control of my assets on here until I get things squared away.

This includes Ireland, the Isle of Man (Mannin), and the County of Edessa (and Irish "colony"). Within these are included the Brotherhood of Saint Patrick and the Old Catholic Church (Celtic Catholic Church). Conflicts are looming with France and the Genesian Catholic world.

Whoever thinks they're up to it, please speak up.

I can watch over the County, as its an imperial vassal anyway, but I don't think I can add to much more to my plate.

Alright. That makes sense.

I suppose it might make sense to split the other parts as well. Someone can take the actions of Ireland and Mannin, while another could take on being the Old Church. They aren't actually supposed to act in tandem, they just are for the time being.

When Stiofan finally dies, things are going to change. I'm not saying anything past that.

You wouldn't be taking it; you'd be RPing in my place. That means executing Ireland's foreign policies and the like.

Okay, here's the deal.

If you know Irish history and culture well, please speak up. You're who I need to RP Ireland.

If you know the Catholic Church well, please speak up. You're who I need to RP the Old Church.

I'll fill in a few gaps before I hand over the reigns to make things simpler.

I'm finding it difficult to generate excitement for one country at the moment, but I do know my Catholicism (Born, raised, and schooled, plus additional research). If nobody else steps up, I could take the Church.

Sed asked me to step in. Here I am. Not entirely sure about everything he's involved in but hey...

Alright, I'm going to write a few things to fill in gaps.

The High King is going to get sick, so Nag will be ruling as Prince William.

Abnar, if you take the Church, that will take the load off Nag, so I gratefully accept your offer. I'll PM you with details.

And of course, RD will be overseeing Edessa.

Everyone remember, I'm not expecting massive activity, but if you think you have a good idea that you would like to do, go ahead and do it.

I'm not sure how long I'll be inactive. I'll check in every now and then.

EDIT: I went ahead and put all my gaps fillers in as a report by the Irish New Network. I think that should work well enough.

Would anyone be able to take the Church for me? Some serious stuff just came up, I'll be on as much as possible, but not enough to keep up with a major RP like Atticus'.

I will if no-one else will. Being (part) Irish and (christened) Catholic and all...

Can't be that much work, denouncing heresies all that jazz. Been there, done that.

Does anyone find it ironic that RP in the British Isles exploded just after Sedulius leaves? I bet he would have liked all of this.

Yeah. And he knows his commitments better than I do. :P

By the by, what have I missed here? Because this is the state of play as I understand it.

On my end:

Edessa is also dependent on the Empire. Its an odd situation. But it serves as the only "on paper" connection between the Empire and the Ireland, though the two are close allies.

France and the Empire have a seriously tense relationship right now, which is playing out in various aspects.

France and Ireland have tensed relations due to the Irish support for rebels in Brittany.

That's what I can think of right now.

Got an interview on Friday... but on Saturday (assuming graphics master TC hasn't beaten me to it) I'll put together something that looks good. Sharp neat lines. National flags. Parchment background. All that jazz.

Yeah, I wish I could be active right now.

I made Mannin in my spare time. This page provides a lot of information:

Mannin

I'm not ready to make a full return, but in my bits of spare time I'll make comments as the Manx king.

Job interview, or med school interview? Either way, good luck.

Since the situation in NW Europe is changing so fast, I'm holding off working on the diplomatic graphics for the time being.

I'll go ahead and take control of the Old Church again. No one's doing anything with it, so I'll move it along as I can. Anyone wanting to RP clergy can do so. Just remember, the Old Church is old-style Catholic, with the Celtic Church specifically adhering to the Catholic teachings in Ireland at the time of Catholic revival in the Dark Ages. These guys aren't extremists, though there would certainly be a few. The Order of Saint Patrick isn't extremist (at least not to the extent that the Templars and the Teutonic Knights are).

It's been a good short run if I do say so myself, but the time has come again to turn my duties over to others. I'll explain in the Absences section of the forum.

I will be able to make posts from time to time from the library, so I won't simply vanish. I will attempt to keep certain things going myself, namely the Russo-Irish relations.

I would ask Nag to once again assume the role of Prince William while the High King is busy with other things, since he was really good in the role before.

The Church is pretty easy to run. The Irish want an elected Pope in Rome, and don't want anything heretical to be added to the Church. That's left to the better judgment of who runs the Church.

The League of Free Nations only needs Devin Wire to sign, and then we are pretty much ready to go with that. (He was to be one of the founding members.) Where it goes is up to the founding nations, and possible new council nations.

Mann is my IC door in while I'm "absent", so don't worry about it.

I'll work on Kandy too.

I humbly ask for volunteers.
