1. We can't do anything for him anyway, we're still in shitty shape thanks to the Colymar.

I was gonna try to update tonight but sooooooooooooooo not feeling it after working all day. orz

Soon, a Taraling delegation arrives, demanding wergild for the deaths of their two weaponthanes. They ask for forty cows*, the customary amount for two slain thanes.
(*note from me: pretty sure we pay this in goods despite the shortened phrasing.)

1. Agree to their demand.
2. Refuse their request.
3. Offer them twenty cows instead. Remind them that Brandig never received wergild for his father's death.

They have more of a case against us than we did against them. (1)

The Taralings dislike us even more now; failure to pay wergild will bring us closer to a feud. (1)

In the sagas, full-fledged feuds between clans can continue many years.

Maybe I can talk them into settling for less. (3)

They have a case against us, but we also had a case against them.

We can afford the werfild, if we want to pay it. (1, 3)

They have no real case against us. (2)

Oh hey it's a very rare sub-choice with its own advice! Sorry for such a short update after a day skipped, I genuinely wasn't expecting Brandig to not be a fuck-up (and forgot that we're in the last event before Sacred Time anyway, though I forget if being raided would happen after or before this event if it's gonna happen. I think after).

THAT A BOY. See, this is how you handle personal problems. He didn't go whining about them on the internet, he got some dudes together and fucked some shit up!

3 seems good to smooth shit over.

Sagus · « **Reply #578 on:** June 24, 2013, 03:45:39 AM »

Holy mother of hell that was some hardcore vengeance.

Let's try 3. If it doesn't work, go for 1.

1 or 3. Might as well be nice.

Dead Princess Sakana · « **Reply #581 on:** June 24, 2013, 06:06:36 AM »

3. As tempting as telling them to shut it sounds, might wanna try to at least be a little diplomatic.
Also we will have to note that "Do this yourself" apparently means "still drag our weaponthanes along with you >:|"

Wergild never works.

Sho' 'nuff, but what ever happened to the art of swapping their powerpoint presentation images with Playboy scans, dipping their hand in warm water while they sleep, or just slashing their tires before they go out for poker night?

3. We should pay for Dramadig's barbeque, but him going crackers isn't our fault entirely. Pass the A1 please.

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #584 on:** June 24, 2013, 11:12:53 PM »

OK FINE.

On the bright side, they actually did take this in cows! (Generally yeah you'd rather hand over goods, goods don't make you food. We'd be nearly out of goods right now if we had to pay 40 though, and we've got shrines to maintain come Sacred Time.)

Eonislara, whose betrothal to Jorator of the Blue Spruces was broken off after her seduction by Korol the Poet of the Zethnorings, is now pregnant. Eonislara is very happy, but her kinfolk see her pregnancy as a reminder of an embarrassing chain of events.

1. Encourage Jorator to marry her.
2. Encourage Korol to marry her.
3. Leave this matter to her kinfolk.
4. Scold Eonislara for being careless.
5. Scold her kinfolk for being unreasonable.

Eonislara has broken neither law nor custom. This is a private matter, and should remain so. (3)

It will be easier to force Korol into marrying her than to force Jorator. (2)

we should be worried about improving our temples instead. (3)

If we try to force a marriage, we will offend the unwilling groom's clan. (3, 4, 5)

Good King Oskul was born outside the marriage bond.

Eonislara has not broken the law. (3)

Eonislara's kin are being unreasonable. They need a good talking to. (5)

Jana · « **Reply #586 on:** June 24, 2013, 11:30:10 PM »

3 Seriously, why are they bugging us with this when we have raids to prepare for? ;-;

3, sounding suspiciously like a Civ II fmv advice dude there Harsaltar.

"No my liege, the people want entertainment"
I haven't needed entertainment for 1000s of years so don't question the immortal god-emperor you Elvis impersonating fool

Sagus · « **Reply #588 on:** June 25, 2013, 01:56:00 AM »

Maybe we should create a "Petty Problems Division" for the Circle and let them handle this shit :V.

Anyway, yeah, your problem, dudes. 3

Von Stein · « **Reply #589 on:** June 25, 2013, 02:04:34 AM »

I'unno, I am actually leaning towards smacking the naysayers around a bit. They give her shit over this? The girl did what she felt like doing, let her have fun. She's even happy! 5

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #590 on:** June 25, 2013, 02:16:19 AM »

Upon FURTHER REFLECTION, Eonislara's personal problem is a serious issue for the clan :|

VOTE CHANGE TO 5, her gossipping kinfolk should be SCOLDED for wasting the ring's time with this nonsense. Inform them that such petty affairs are FAR BELOW the Ring's notice and that they should stop harrassing the poor girl!

Iced Fairy · « **Reply #591 on:** June 25, 2013, 02:57:49 AM »

5 Seriously. These idiots need to stop whining.

Presumably this involves telling them to go screw.

Seriously you guys, deal with this stuff your own damn selves.

At least it's not the Colymar?

Even sorely weakened, we still roll Elkenvali face. So there's that at least.

...and while writing that I forgot to actually screencap the results showing we roll Elkenvali face. Basically, we beat up like every guy they had with no harm to ourselves.

It was a rough year but I think we got through it about as well as could be expected.

So what's up next?

Stuffman · « **Reply #595 on:** June 26, 2013, 12:29:08 AM »

If we put points in health, will our injured dudes get better faster?

EDIT: Yes it does. Get some of that.

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #596 on:** June 26, 2013, 01:52:16 AM »

So I think the Elkenvali want killings again. So do the Zethnorings. Beyond that, yes to health and magic.

Iced Fairy · « **Reply #597 on:** June 26, 2013, 03:44:06 AM »

We need dudes so we can kill other people's dudes.

Janitor Morgan · « **Reply #598 on:** June 26, 2013, 04:01:22 AM »

We're also kinda low on food, judging by how we ate ~460 more than we produced. If we have the magic to spare, stick a dot in crops, maybe?

We've normally been good but we've just got soooooooooooo many injured farmers.

Plus crops is literally the first thing I put points in and I always max it so this goes without saying. :V
