Congratulations bright, shiny, northern neighbor. :)

Goblin Squad Member

Kabal and Tavernhold should totally become Chaotic-Awesome.

This is the final week, and everything gets locked in Sunday right?

Goblin Squad Member

Ayup.

Difficult? You get to recruit from the most commonly picked alignment right now.

Little bit harder for some of the 'less desirable' alignments...

...but then again sometimes the challenge is half the fun.

Lawful Good is the most commonly picked alignment for settlements? Huh. I hadn't realized it.

I am not saying that it is the MOST difficult. Nor did I say that it was in the top two. I DO understand a bit of your troubles. Being bitter about it won't get you too far though.

Just saying...

Goblin Squad Member

Neutral Good is the most common and is allowed by Lawful Good settlements.

Also, not the least bit bitter, sorry if I came off that way.

I can understand. I really can. Recruiting people and Companies at this point is REALLY hard. For some Companies in Ozem's Vigil right now, there are members (of those Companies) that will have to make sacrifices of their first choice/preferred alignment, when alignment comes online.

Maybe the stars lined up just right for Ozem's Vigil, so far. Sure seems that the stars took a lot of pushing though.

Most credit goes to Full Metal Syndicate and to Peace Through Vigilance for getting a great, positive concept going.

You are right that it is a challenge and a lot of work. :)

The good news is there are only two officially evil settlements on the board at the moment, so the odds of new recruits are pretty good.

Those who work hard and stubbornly for their cause will inevitably be called "lucky" when they finally attain their goals.

Goblin Squad Member

I am still using the wrong terminology (at least for us). It may read like "spin" but if you really mean it, it will get across.

Instead of "recruiting" or calling out for people to "join", try offering "Partnerships".

I think it is because we both now have our own taverns that they don't want to join us. CG is quite welcomed in Kabal [still in the process of naming our settlement so if you join this week, you will have a hand in naming it] :-)

Though if we could get them to join us and we put the taverns on opposite sides of the settlement, we can have a fun drinking game played only in our settlement. You drink a big mug of Dwarven Ale at one tavern then walk to the other tavern and drink a big glass of Elven Wine, then walk back to the first tavern and drink a big mug of Dwarven Ale. And repeat until you are unable to continue walking or pass out. The last one to do so, is declared the winner!

Have to come up with a cool name for it though.

Goblin Squad Member

We can still do that. You just have to walk across monster infested badlands instead of the settlement.

Goblin Squad Member

But you would probably sweat all the great alcohol out by doing that and no one would win. :-)

Goblin Squad Member

Last one to die of dehydration wins. Ahhh, the games immortals play....

On a fun note, I'll be able to get legally drunk when I head to Chile over the fall. I can't wait to drink unhealthy amounts in unsafe areas with no designated drivers! Gon' be grown up an' stuff! :D

Yeah, yeah, my friends already made the same joke—"You're not drunk already?"

In Korea we called this a Thunder Run. Of course it involved a lot more bars. ;)

Cool.

Does beta start Monday?

Goblin Squad Member

It will actually be genuinely interesting to see how the established larger groups fare in game compared to the ones created in the last few weeks from a disparate mishmash of smaller companies.

Goblin Squad Member

No human organization is monolithic. The "established larger groups" are all made up of smaller groups anyway- they are just a disparate mishmash that has aged for a little longer.

Goblin Squad Member

Let's see, according to the ideas thrown out here, Ozem's Vigil is in the best spot, with the coolest alignment, and we are still recruiting companies and free agents. Stop being jealous and join us!

Goblin Squad Member

Kabal just hit 55 members. Who is next on the list? Aragon with 57. And they are where?

Although I'm certain you guys can get to 58, if you bumped us and more importantly got stuck at "X", well.... "X" does mark the spot!

Besides, we are very, very happy with our top 5 choices and we have the numbers to take any one of them.

* Note, not the current listing, the one we will have late Sunday night.

Goblin Squad Member

There is only one Week 10 play left. Which hex will Kabal call home?

Goblin Squad Member

We've chosen one of a possible 30 settlements hexes.

Kabal is not interested in X.

Unless you want to be heavy into recruiting new players, it is only good for SADing the road. It is better than AC. Need I say more. Main value is part of NC. It is a valuable property for NC, because it is core to them, not for what is has but who they are.

If you want to have prime recruiting, PM me.

Goblin Squad Member

If Kabal advances do we get F back? :)

Goblin Squad Member

Probably.

Provided that you kept "F" as your first choice and someone else larger did not set "F" to their first choice.

I look forward to finding out, after week 10 closes, that Kabal's weekly draft order was determined by shaking up a Boggle set.

Shadow Lodge Goblin Squad Member

I'd imagine that any non-UNC group would be Terrified to displace Aragon simply because that would put them smack in the middle of Xeilias controlled territory as a non-allied settlement. We would feel compelled to crush them in short order just to secure a contiguous border for our nation.

Goblin Squad Member

1 person marked this as a favorite.

You probably shouldn't have said that.


I wonder...if we imply that T is impossible for Kabal to get ahold of, think they'd go there?

Oh, no! Kabal's been infected with the T virus hex!

Goblin Squad Member

I think you'd have to do it just right.

And probably not telegraph by wondering out loud if you can do it.


True, true...okay, I'ma try it in a few hours. I intend to deploy reverse psychology I learned about in my Communications 218 class to deceive Kabal into doing my bidding.

I can't imagine why. Its not as if we have any designs on that space currently. Aragon is a member of our non aggression pact and thus not a target. Anyone with half a shred of critical thinking would come to the same conclusion its not as though i'm giving away state secrets here.

Goblin Squad Member

Sorry. It was a pathetic joke that Sunnfire is most likely to do something exactly because someone said they'd be terrified to do it.

He probably made the assumption that you would face the same pushback I faced for making a much less confrontational, but somewhat similar statement.

Goblin Squad Member

I think Kabal will end up exactly where everyone expects them to land...Right where they are/have been. (Now crosses fingers to see if by making a statement of anything at all, it changes the course of the future and they instead change their minds to something they have never taken before and end up right where I want them.)

@Caldeathe I realize I may not have conveyed the right tone there, no need to apologize. I just meant that any prospective stakeholder in the landrush will probably think twice about displacing aragon. Because, unless they have an ally with the numbers to displace Golgotha as well, they will end up in a direct line between Callambea and Golgotha. That would be a highly desirable settlement for us (not in the landrush but in EE warfare) should our Pact members find themselves suddenly elsewhere.

@Nihimon, Eh people can pushback all they want. In the end being surrounded by hostile forces is not something anyone likes. If on the other hand, someone took that hex with the intent to petition the empire for membership, that would be a different scenario. A political ball of wax that i wont speak to as I am neither a leader nor an ambassador and have no desire (nor power) to say anything that would upset the UNC.

That would be a poorly based assumption, to expect that groups like Golgotha, or Aragon would respond in the same way as TEO / KotC / TSV would. I won't speak further than that for Golgotha, but for Aragon's PvP oriented companies, I will speak frankly:

We would become Murderhobos and visit upon the new holders of "X" a reign of grief that would defy all rationale thought.

But, I don't threaten this action out of fear if it should happen. I'd equally welcome having the opportunity to dash headlong into an insurgency. In the weeks that followed our loss of our settlement in Darkfall, that was the most fun I had in that game.

In PFO it would be even more fun, because there is that notion that PFO will somehow be different than the other Open World PvP MMOs, and this would give us the opportunity of showing how that will not be the case.

* edit for "if" to "of" and fix of last paragraph.

Shadow Lodge Goblin Squad Member

Yet another reason to be terrified to displace Aragon. Well played sir!

It's always enlightening when you speak frankly...

I find the notion that anything in a game should terrify anyone amusing.

That being said, if we finish week 10 in X, I will personally deliver a kick in the crotch to every single citizen of Aragon, and then hand them a map from their new hex to X and tell them the stew is on, if they can get to it.

I meant an in character sort of terrified. But also an "all my hardwork has gone for naught" sort of terrified as well. But I like to speake in hyperbole.
