The OOC Thread

[Zeus Almighty]

True! I got dynasty warriors tactics a LONG time ago and loved it. I don't think ive ever seen the other ones you speak of.

[The Stig]

Guests really seem to like this game.

[Zectorman]

This makes me want to play crusader kings so bad right now....in fact!

Of course I hope i get to take part in this!

[Pontifex Maximus]

There appears to be a dearth of clergy.

[Lucius Malfoy]

Yeah we only have three active chars of clergy

[Ganbarenippon]

There are a few of us about Ponti. But we could use more.

[╬Ritterbruder╬]

Understandable if you think that we are RP'ing a TW-like campaign: priests are there for morale boosts, not to serve on the front lines. And I doubt there will be many theological discussions coming up (even though that would be nice )

[Pinkerton]

All you need is Saint Lawrence

[Jokern]

Father Johannes is around, but he's more of a secondary char roght now. When we have an empire up and running, I hope I'll be more active woth him then.

Pax per biscum

[Pinkerton]

Pax per biscum

As a novice latin student,

What is biscum?

[The Stig]

Peace through biscuits?

[Pinkerton]

Peace through biscuits?

Let the biscuit unite the nations of the world

[Lucius Malfoy]

Cristoforo laughed. "Look around you and speak to the man with the shiniest armour," he joked. "But really, you should request an audience with De Lusignan. He's a descendant of the King of Crete, a grandson I believe. He was elected our leader, even though a large minority didn't think that was a great idea."

Adamat, its King of Cyprus lol. And more like a relative than grandson lol

[Zeus Almighty]

Would it be more apt to post Ricco and his men in the war counsel thread or the war camp of the franks thread? Idk if we were considering them in different camps

[Adamat]

Adamat, its King of Cyprus lol. And more like a relative than grandson lol

Oops lol

[╬Ritterbruder╬]

What do the nobles speak among eachother, btw? Latin? French?

[Adamat]

Mostly French, I think.

[Dirty Chai]

The Lingua Franca is of course Medieval French.
Italian and Latin are just as good however.

The use of 'Latins' in the RPG as an 'ethnicity' is only due to the fact that the Roman Empire referred to all 'Franks' (Western Europeans who carry Charlemagne's pan-Frankish culture) as 'Latins'.
Edit: Most sources however describe the 'Latin' term being applied to Catholics, but I find the need to define it more specifically to 'Franks'.

[Hengest]

It's correctly "Pax Um Biscum (Peace Be With You)" but became Pax vobiscum and even Pax per biscum in the vulgate. There is also the pretty cool Pax per bellum, which was used similar to Deus volt as an excuse for sword drawing. But biscuits work too, actually French for "twice cooked" though
