This isn't actually taking as long as I expected. Creating a tech tree will be time consuming, it seems, but after I finish that I should be good to go. I'll aim to have this up and running by the time TC's game is finished. |

Well I wrote my description first.... Also German Lutheran is different than Swiss Catholic.... And I didn't see your post when I wrote mine. Besides our characters can have a nice little conflict of personalities.... Also I don't give a carp.... |

Might as well post a character here as well. I feel it's probably a little one-dimensional, but I have a lot on my mind at the moment and I can flesh him out over the course of the RP. Spoiler: click to toggle

TC, was the Spanish Inquisition active in the Spanish Netherlands during this period? |

Hmm...I'm not sure, I will look into that. I'll have it continue to persecute NH's character Jesus Rodriguez though, since he comes from an old family and the King was particularly incensed by him :lol: |

Actually the reason I asked is that I would like to play a Spanish Catholic inquisitor active in the Netherlands, if that is feasible. |

Ok; your question had caused me to look at the relevant wikipedia articles, which have contradictory accounts of the Spanish Inquisition's level of activity in the Netherlands at this time. For the sake of the current game we can definitively say that the Inquisition was active in the Netherlands, so you can use that character concept. |

Ok, I want to play a Spanish Inquisitor in his 40s at the Medium difficulty. If you can create the rest of the character, I would appreciate it, but if not, I will do so soon. |

Is mine acceptable? or do you want to do it.

Araam, what difficulty level do you want to start out with? From Melech's background history it seems to fit an Easy or Pansy difficulty level, which should make a significant difference because I'm going by the rough guideline of Pansy = 10 times more starting advantages than Easy Easy = 10 times more starting advantages than Medium Medium = 10 times more starting advantages than Difficult, etc. I recommend Pansy for Melech so we have a diversity in difficulty levels and at least one player starting the game on a "grand strategy" scale immediately. ***** Ive started a new thread containing the information for the RP, http://s3.zetaboards.com/nationstates/topic/7407576/1/ Edited by Tristan da Cunha, Aug 22 2010, 09:37 PM.

That's fine. I'm not too proud to play at Pansy difficulty. At least it will keep things interesting. |

In the historical sense. The landscheckts were imitators of the highly reputable Swiss Mercenaries. EDIT: I'm wondering if I should switch from Difficult to medium, syphilis is pretty nasty. Hey, I thought syphilis was for extreme. Is it possible for me to switch, or is it to late? |

Well, that's why I indicated he already has a family; he has an immediate heir if he succumbs to the disease. If you want to switch to Medium that is fine too. That goes for everyone, if there is anything in your profile you wish to change then it can still be changed; these are just preliminary outlines. I'm too lazy to rewrite entire profiles though, so I'd prefer if individual players themselves modify their own character sheets if they wish to change background histories, and I'll specify resources based on the rough guideline: Pansy: 10,000 doubloons Easy: 1,000 doubloons Medium: 100 doubloons Difficult: 10 doubloons Extreme: 1 doubloon Selected price references- Medium Galleon: ~400 doubloons Heavy Galleon: ~1500 doubloons 100 mercenaries: ~50 doubloons per year 100 colonists: ~1,000 doubloons Note that colonies are able to attract population free of cost once an initial settlement is sustained Spoiler: click to toggle Spoiler: click to toggle

Oh, this could be a lot of fun. I will have to begin drawing up complex flowcharts to determine the myriad uses my fortune will be put to. First on the agenda, I believe, will be bathing. Bathing in doubloons. |

TC, thanks for making those changes. In particular, the bailiffs will be useful in tracking the myriad infidels and heretics wandering the setting. Also, I have an idea for a game of this sort in the future, though I won't mention it now, since TC's game and Araam's game should occupy us for the time being.

TC, when do you want to start this. Also, shall we move all of the characters to the AU forum thread? |

Sure, if you could move all the character posts to that AU thread that would be great, or if that is not what you meant by moving all the characters then I or we can repost the profiles. The game can commence effective immediately, in the AU forum. Notes: --This is a quasi-freeform RP so you can make any type of thread or post and you can specify the outcomes of your decisions, including how much resources you earn. I will be mostly laissez-faire as a DM because of time constraints on me, but I'll try to respond to every thread/event with at least one post in order to maintain a quasi-historical nature to the game and to decide outcomes of battles between players if needed. --The RP can commence immediately; you can make a topic and can put words and decrees into the mouths of any NPC in the entire world if that will help construct the RP narrative for your character. The only NPC's that a player cannot write for are the Kings of Spain, England, Portugal, and France, the Holy Roman Emperor, and the Pope. Other than that you can make posts stating that the Emperor of China did this or that, or some beggar on the street in Mexico City did this or that. But at least try to be somewhat historical when you make posts involving NPCs, and you can't suddenly transfer huge amounts of wealth from an NPC to your character, although you can post about business deals and other such things that are preferably RP'd out. --"Rags to Riches" stories are allowed and in fact favored in the RP, as are "Riches to Astronomical Riches" stories, this being a historical time period where between the looting of cities, pillaging of farms, trading of spices, and buccaneering of the Spanish Main the most brazenly wealthy group of people in the world came to be. --Death (as in Death-by-DM) can visit your character at any moment, striking you down with or without warning. Make sure you have an heir who can continue the game if your character dies. If your character is alive, you can of course also at any point kill off your own character, whether by natural or unnatural causes. --Tomorrow I will try to make a thread with some events to nudge the RP along but anyone is free to start at any time. |

I'll make a post on the information thread with all of the character profiles tomorrow. Or you should make it if you want to be able to edit it. If that is the case, tell me; otherwise I will do it. |

I think I'll join this. Don't know how much time I'll have, though. I've been watchings movies like "Black Robe" and "The Mission" (one of my favourite movies) lately and I think it'd be interesting to RP a Jesuit. Spoiler: click to toggle
