ALEA IACTA EST: A Roman Republic Game (Rules, OOC and Sign Up Thread) (CLOSED)

[Lumine]

Right, I have the results ready and I'll be writing through the afternoon. Heads up, gentlemen, **** will hit the fan most violently, and two players have reached a game over.

[Huey Long is a Republican]

I pray that I ain't one of the two.

[windjammer]

I have been less busy and would like to rejoin the game if that is possible.

Excellent news, Windjammer! Welcome back, I'll let you know who is available after I post the results.

[DKrol]

Dear God, Lumine. I'm going on a brief vacation, so I'll have spotty access for the next 24 hours. If I die....

Rip.

Worry not, Dkrol, there will be ample time to switch characters or welcome new ones after the results are in.  I'm not saying who died (at least one player did), but the nature of these game overs means the game will take a turn in a radical new direction.

If Vercingétorix is available, I would gladly take him

Certainly. Vercingetorix will be yours in the next turn (52 BC, Part II).

[Lumine]

Turn results up. Remember the next turn has not begun yet, and it won't do so for two or three days more.

My condolences to Dkrol and Kingpoleon, both excellent players. I hope both of you will continue to play as someone else!

To recap the current cast:

Orodes of Parthia (Leonardothered)
Ptolemy of Egypt (Garlan Gunter)
Cotys of Thrace (New Tennessean Politician)
Crassus (LouisvilleThunder)
Cato (Dereich)
Cicero (YPestis)

Caesar (claimed by JacksonHitchcock)
Vercingetorix (claimed by Windjammer)

Available characters:

Pompeius the Younger (priority for Dkrol if he wants him)
Gaius Scribonius Curio (popularis heir to Clodius)
Artavasdes II of Armenia
Burebista of Dacia
Pharnaces II of the Bosphoran Kingdom

[Huey Long is a Republican]

If someone chooses Pharnaces II to help me stay alive, that'll be great.

And here's a preview of the map for Late 52 BC:

I might've bit off more than I could chew with Dacia but it was the only way I could expand

[DKrol]

Gosh dang it

Gosh dang it

You can always join 'A House Divided'

[Garlan Gunter]

I promise to reveal what Catullus has been making of all these developments in a few recently discovered fragments once I have finished, ahem, translating them!

[DKrol]

I'll take Pompey Jr.

[Lumine]

I'll take Pompey Jr.

Great! Next turn will be up tomorrow night.

[Lumine]

Which areas am I controlling?

Those in purple, whereas green is controlled by Ambiorix and the Belgian tribes. The most dark shade in southern Gaul are the Romanized areas under the control of Caesar and his armies, and the lighter shade across Gaul is the Gallic tribes now allied to Caesar.

[Lumine]

I'll take Pompey Jr.

Great! Next turn will be up tomorrow night.

The turn is going to be up, but it will be up very late during in the night (as in, almost dawn).

[DKrol]

Do I control the dark blue in Spain and Portugal?

[Lumine]

Do I control the dark blue in Spain and Portugal?

Yes, Pompeius the Younger (may just call him Pompey Minor for short) has the loyalty of the Pompeian commanders in Spain, plus Cisalpine Gaul and Illyria as the "legal" replacement for Caesar (and Umbria and Picenum as his father's inheritance). I decided to paint him and Caesar in a different color than the land under Senatorial control to showcase the relative influence and power of both men.

I'd be fine calling him Pompey, Jr. That may not be historically accurate, though.

[Lumine]

Have fun. The turn crisis are brief because this takes over a smaller period of time, this turn only covers the second half of 52 BC and not an entire year.
