[Mithridate]

Apologies for taking so long.


Fair or not, death comes for us all - I shall but be his emissary.
War declared on Genoa, you have been tolerated long enough.

The pope is dead and we have been reconciled, long live the Doge!

If an image does not cut it for you, have some good music to drive it home. Lyrics are optional

Everything is said and done
Everyone has had their fun
Time to make my exit from this
FairyTale
My departure was foreseen
From the very beginning
Assume life of iNSaNiTY
Sayonara~

Hello nice to meet you seem familiar have I met you before
Goodbye sweetie nice to see you
Haven't talked in quite a while
So

iNSaNiTY, the weight of the air is torture
Psychopathy, don't know who I am anymore
iNSaNiTY, the illusion of ignorance
Captivity, why don't you take a chance?

iNSaNiTY, the weight of the air is torture
Psychopathy, don't know who I am anymore
iNSaNiTY, the illusion of ignorance
Captivity, try to stop it from corrupting

I was never meant to be
This paintings main centerpiece
Hidden in a corner
My outlines are fading
The Days have turned into Night
Darkness has consumed the light
Assume life of iNSaNiTY
Sayonara~

Hello nice to meet you seem familiar have I met you before
Goodbye sweeetie nice to see you
Haven't talked in quite a while
So

iNSaNiTY, the weight of the air is torture
Psychopathy, don't know who I am anymore
iNSaNiTY, the illusion of ignorance
Captivity, why don't you take a chance?

iNSaNiTY, the weight of the air is torture
Psychopathy, don't know who I am anymore
iNSaNiTY, the illusion of ignorance
Captivity, try to stop it from corrupting my heart
Why wont anyone
Notice the torment
This madness is causing
Terror of my own
Self-conscious Minds
Persecution
I wont survive like this

Sanity, the light is peeking through the darkness
Purity, cant feel anymore of the stress
Sanity, Its already fading away
Cruelty, there's things controlling me

iNSaNiTY, the weight of the air is torture
Psychopathy, don't know who I am anymore
iNSaNiTY, the illusion of ignorance
Captivity, why don't you take a chance?

iNSaNiTY, the weight of the air is torture
Psychopathy, don't know who I am anymore
iNSaNiTY, the illusion of ignorance
Captivity, the corruption has taken me~

Portugal up !!!

[Lord Luka]

Castille!

[Vipman]

Aragon http://www.mediafire.com/download/ie..._Aragon_16.rar

[Mithridate]

Bumped le one responsible

[Riverknight]

I have asked vipman to sub, if he cannot then I'd like Luka to.

[Mithridate]

I was Guys ally and could sub, I am after in turn too. Though after having temporarily taken Palma,
I'd understand if the current Aragonese rulership views us with a degree of hostility.

It is good to know that Castile and Aragon are now butt buddies however.

I am trying to prolong Aragons existence by being as neutral as can be.

If you were to sub Aragon, you'd see Castille and Portugals troops, cities and there garrison.

[Vipman]

Sorry for the delay, Sicily up http://www.mediafire.com/download/j8..._Sicily_17.rar

[Mithridate]

Genoa was destroyed as they no longer have any regions inside the border.


Blood is spilt while holding keys to the throne
Born again, but it's too late to atone
No mercy from the edge of the blade
Dare escape and learn the price to be paid

Let the water flow with shades of red now
Arrows black out all the light (light)
Death is riding into town with armor,
They've come to grant you your rights

Hail to the king, hail to the one
Kneel to the crown, stand in the sun
Hail to the king (Hail!Hail!Hail!)

There's a taste of fear (hail, hail, hail)
When the henchmen call (hail, hail, hail)
Iron fist to tame the land (hail, hail, hail)

Iron fist to claim it all!

Good game Dur3x and well played, you did a great job with the poor hand dealt, becoming the third strongest faction with bloody Genoa.

[Vipman]

lol.. seriously...

[Mithridate]

lol.. seriously...

You never got back to me regarding that NAP, no?

[Vipman]

But Genoa is up... So what happens now... Genoa plays or is turned AI?

[Dur3X]

I'll play today on both HS.


Portugal UP !!!

Real men will fight to the end.

GG Mith, you're the best......after me.

Considering I sent this below to you and Riverknight and that Venice was turned AI when they did not have any regions inside the border ( as per rules ), I don't see why this should be any different or why I'd not be allowed to play accordingly when having asked to avoid precisely this.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Genoa up, but they have no region inside the border, so like with Venice the faction will be turned rebel?

If not I request being allowed to replay me turn, lifting the siege of Barcelona.
GG dur3x

Can't say I'm very happy or that I think this can stand.

I've even poked Riverknight on Steam where you have also been repeatedly online, writing a reply takes less than a minute. Wtf?

[Dur3X]

Genoa now has a region inside the border and can be turned into rebel from the next turn and we are done with it.... Please don't try to be annoying

[Vipman]

Considering genoan army was besieging Barcelona I think it should be allowed to continue playing, I guess Venice was turned AI because it had no important army left. As I think it's not right how the game destroys the factions if they don't have settlements left but they still have armies.

But if Sicily could defeat that Genoan army maybe a replay should be allowed. But it's questionable as you tried to benefit from this thinking Genoa would be turned AI/destroyed so you didn't defeat the genoan army, right would have been to consider Genoa as human till the end and fully defeat it with the army included, not get away avoiding to fight his army because you took his settlements so Genoa should be declared dead.

Just some thoughts the admin should have in mind when making the decision IMHO

(Note: I have edited a few things)

Make up your mind This sums it up:

Vid contains gore, excessive violence and profanity ( and loads of awesome )

Everything I ever do is questionable, I try to be open and I am deceiving, I say nothing and I am covering up
Oh, and Venice had an elite stack and their entire fleet left when they were made rebel.

I considered Genoa dead just as any faction is when all FM or regions are lost, as per previous events. Not seeing why I should not play accordingly and it is very annoying that my attempt to avoid this was moot due to Riverknight imo, failing yet again.
