Spamage, is there any chance of me joining back in as Denmark?

Good to see you back, Kingpoleon!

(and sorry to interject, but since Denmark has taken such losses perhaps it would make more sense if you returned as a larger nation like the Papal States or Rev. Poland?)

The Pope shouldn't be playable.

Unfortunately, as Lumine stated, Denmark has been heavily crushed at this point. It's standing army is in tatters and Norway is lost.

I would allow you to rejoin as Bavaria (though they're already in the War of the Grand Coalitions alongside Austria), the Durrani, or perhaps some other power (I am open to suggestions, though China, Poland, Japan, and the Papacy will remain NPCs).

Alternatively, you could wait until some sort of deal is reached in Scandinavia and rejoin as Denmark once the situation is a bit more certain.

Kingpoleon:

-Bavaria is a Dereich ally
-The Durranis are located in India and are fighting against me.


Just to give you more details

Is there anyone I can rejoin as?  I'd prefer the Papal States, but if it isn't available then I call dibs on Bavaria.  The Papal States would be ideal though since I could lay a bit low if I had an especially busy week and then pick back up when I had more free time.  I'd really like to be Pope again and lets be honest, could you possibly ask for a more entertaining Holy See than the one I gave you last time around?

Good to be back, thanks!  Maybe this time I'll actually end the world lol

It's always refreshing to see how complaints from players can be so easily ignored with such a fashion. I can't say I'm surprised though as 2 players already threatened to leave.

Complaints?

What do you object so strongly to about X becoming Pope? There's certainly precedent, considering he was already Benedict XIV earlier in the game.

Actually 3 people have threatened to leave, lest you forget. To be frank, I've been trying to balance the desires of more than 12 separate players for 12 turns. Whether it's disputes over army sizes, actions of NPCs or some of the most minute details, I do my best to remain neutral and solve the issue as diplomatically as possible. I certainly don't want anyone to feel like they're being ignored or not heard, so if you have any concerns contact me personally.

That being said, I'm not going to unilaterally exclude someone, especially when I've had trouble getting active players as other nations. These games tend to end when interest dies out, turns get too long, or activity slows. If someone wants to join and will be active, I try to make room for them, as I have thus far.

[windjammer]

This is not about excluding X, in fact I'm happy he's back. This is about *anyone* playing the Pope. The Pope has too many powers, and if he screws up it could have many consequences for many players.
Religious players shouldn't be playable.

[windjammer]

Anyway,
I considered that a bad idea when he was first appointed Pope, and I still consider that a very bad idea about him being appointed Pope a second time. Not because of *HIM* because he's indeed a talented and high energy player, and I would be more than happy to have him back. But the Pope? It could have *many* *many* consequences, just imagine if it triggers a schism etc etc. Not intentionnally etc etc, but mistakes happen. We all have made mistakes that have had big consequences, I really fear that smething tragic happening with the Pope's character would be catastrophic for the game.

Anyway, I'm not going to be a drama queen, let's move on. I won't obstruct the game of that. Let's continue to play.

My apologies if I have offended anyone.

[Kingpoleon]

I understand Denmark is in tatters - I had an idea.

But, if I could wait for it as another nation, the Finns look interesting.

[DKrol]

When does this turn end? I'm rather sick, and may need an extension.

[Dereich]

When does this turn end? I'm rather sick, and may need an extension.

Wednesday, presumably 8:00 EST or so.

[windjammer]

I will post my turn tomorrow, I won't have any problems with the delay.
If anyone needs delay, I see obviously no objection

[windjammer]

For the record, X can confirm, we're fine now. Sorry for all the drama.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Confirmed

[Spamage]

Glad everything worked out.


I haven't recieved any official delay requests yet, so for the time being the turn will close on schedule. Get those orders in!

[Lumine]

I'll be writing them tonight.

[DKrol]

Orders in, don't need an extension.

[Lumine]

Orders in.

[windjammer]

Orders in!

[Lumine]

Just curious, when does the turn close?
