All updated, enjoy.

All updated, enjoy.

Will Doran be getting a status update as well? I saw the army update.

What do you mean? Your turn crises are up along with the others.

[Mycool]

Whoops, that’s what I get for reading too fast. Disregard my previous post.

[Lumine]

Lord Mace Tyrell has been released as per the terms of the latest declaration. Windjammer is Lord Tyrell once again, standing outside Storm's End with his released vassals.

[Dereich]

I'd like to join as Lord Estermont, if possible.

Sure thing. I'll add you to the turn as we're just starting this one.

[Lumine]

Turn updated, adding Estermont and Tyrell.

Any interesting roles that have not been taken?

Any interesting roles that have not been taken?

I'm afraid the more relevant ones are taken already, save from Houses like the Yronwoods or Daynes, adventurer characters like Oberyn Martell or Jon Connington, or Magister Illyrio.

If we want to add a new dimension to the game, I suppose we could make one of the Free Cities of Essos available to give the game a twist.

Oberyn sounds fun, go have some adventures, poison folks, maybe make some more Sand Snakes.

Oberyn is reserved for you then, you'll begin at the start of the next turn.

There has been some talk about Great Councils, so I want to go a bit more on detail on how this mechanic will work. While you are all free to form your own informal versions (at the risk of your Great Council being ignored by many in the Seven Kingdoms), for a formal Great Council to have full effect and legitimacy (to the benefit of the decisions made on it) it will require a special process:

For a formal Great Council to be activated, at least seven players (thus a majority of the 12 member player base) must post the following in the Gameplay Thread:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

You are also welcome to propose yourself or others as host. Upon seven players stating their support the game will move into a special phase to simulate the Great Council (with its own timetable and rules), with players outlining how they will participate (or if they will join the Council in case they haven't signed). It is assumed Houses will send individual representatives or the lords themselves, you're free to choose if you go yourself or send someone else.

Should there ever be the seven given signatures, I will then explained the rules for the Great Council. For those of you who played by Fear and Loathing in 1972 Election Game, it will work in a similar manner (in terms of gameplay) to the heavily contested Democratic National Convention and its multiple balloting.

[Lumine]

Given that the upcoming Loyalist talks in Highgarden are not a Great Council per se, do the players want me to simulate a larger event (for example, creating a special thread) or they prefer public negotiation amongst themselves?

Thanks for proposing that Lumine but that won't be necessary. I suppose that PMs talks will be enough to settle (or not) the Targaryen succession).

[DKrol]

I wouldn't be opposed to a special RP event, but if no one else wants it, I think we're content to work it out amongst ourselves.

[windjammer]

Oh, I mean, if you want to make a roleplay event, I'm fine with it. But I really don't think opening a new thread is necessary.

Oh my goodness, that will be fun. Though that convention was one of the most stressful things I've done in a game, it was super rewarding.

How much longer is this turn? Until the next weekend again?

[Lumine]

Turns are set to last a week, so until Friday.

[Garlan Gunter]

I’d rather have a special event!

Life overtook me over weekend but will hope to make up for lost time and spin some webs...!

[leonardothered]

Yeah I prefer a special event and it's own thread. The main thread should be primarily for special declarations and Lumine's turn updates.

[badgate]

When are orders due?

[YPestis25]

When are orders due?

I think this evening, though I don't know what time exactly.

[Lumine]

Seven hours left, gentlemen. Make them count.
