The Death of Kings, the VI ASOIAF Game (Sign Up - Rules Thread)

[Dereich]

It's certainly not just you. I've been in traffic court all week (and was on vacation over the weekend) and will only be able to focus on this game starting this evening. I COULD get everything done tonight, if absolutely necessary, but I'd prefer the extension myself.

[Lumine]

I can't update myself, so granted! Friday it is. Do let me know if there's outstanding questions I haven't answered.

[Bacon King]

Thanks for the extension I'm working on a state Senate campaign nearly full time so I have so much less free time these days

[Garlan Gunter]

Good news for this ol' Eunuch too! (in real life hilariously I've just returned from christening my boy...)

EDIT: quite eager to write a PoV but finding its, er, perspective quite hard to decide on!

[leonardothered]

Every time I start a POV I reveal key parts of my plans :/

I think I have one for this turn though finally as there are two orders I don't mind sharing but I'll need to check with Lumine first

Hey Lumine, I know it's last minute but I sent you some questions last night

[Lumine]

Questions replied, I think.

[leonardothered]

Eh... Swedge hasn't been on in a second...

[Swedge]

Hey I’m here now. Busy day, I’ll get sorted within the next few hours! Apologies

[Bacon King]

I hate to do this but I just don't have the time at all any more for this game - I tried to make it work but unfortunately it's just not possible. Looks like I have to die as Quellon. good luck to Balon, if he's played by anyone at all

[leonardothered]

Wait are you finishing this turn though?

[badgate]

Can we expect any game update or POV today?

[Lumine]

Forgot to close this, I wasted yesterday and today on a personal matter which went rather badly. The turn itself can survive without the Greyjoys for now (much as I will miss BK, truly a top tier player), but Dereich didn't send orders and that would mean another two months of limbo for Ned Stark since there's no champion. That does pose an issue, since spending four months trapped is a bit unfair.

I'll wait for feedback, but the full thing will be up during Wednesday, and you'll know the selected POV's early tomorrow.

[leonardothered]

Yaaaarp

[badgate]

Did Deirich drop out or just fumble his orders? If he dropped then I'm sure Lumine can determine a champion.

That'd be fine with me.

Oh, thank god, that was seriously causing a headache. I'll simulate that and then be able to move with the writing (it's been slow, quite a hectic week).

No worries! The writing has been excellent, take as long as you need.

[leonardothered]

Also give a shout if you want a hand in POVs, Ive been itching to write one for a minute

[leonardothered]

Any word of a death toll yet?

[Lumine]

Actually, I'm very close to confessing defeat here, and I'm rather struggling with the whole matter. I'm not going to lie, I've been distracted with RL and other obligations and my realistic shot is during the weekend, and that in a context in which a lot of time has already passed.

I'll give it my best shot, but if I can get it done within a couple of days I may have to resort to something more drastic.

[leonardothered]

As pivotal as this turn was, the game may very well have reached near a conclusion .

[leonardothered]

So is it time to talk contingency plans yet? :/

[Swedge]

I suppose so.

What’s the plan going forward?

[Lumine]

Tried to fight my way through, but couldn't do it.

A few days ago I mentioned a certain personal affair, and it has sadly grown in scope and effects (won't bore you with the details, but it involves my family and it has been very distressing to me), pretty much killing my motivation. It has even affected my RL obligations rather drastically, so while I hope things will work out I'm making serious efforts to keep myself on balance as it is.

I'd like to hear from the remaining players here and see their votes, because we have the following options:

1.- Continuation via a new GM
2.- Closing through an Epilogue with Player Input
3.- Leaving the scenario open (or frozen) for a sequel later on, either mine or from another GM
