I'm really pumped for this! It's going to be my first real RP!

Can't wait for it to officially start!

[Orioni]

Looking forward to seeing how this evening goes. For me, this the first event with all you new players here. It can be a moment to create lasting allies, or a first clash with future enemies.

 

One practical note on timing. Because I don't expect everyone to be online tonight to write their replies, I suggest you use the trick of slowing down time. I used that trick last year to give all players the time to read and reply. See this explanation on time-warping:

[Magnaeus]

This is going swimmingly.

Thanks for explaining. This is also what I had in mind, but I don't think I mentioned it somewhere before. But yes, if would help if this was not considered to be happening in realtime. I can see that already some people are adding their stories which is great. Maybe tonight I can start with the events of 19:00 hours?

[Magnaeus]

Hey people. For everyone who is participating in this RP, is it alright if I move the story along and get to the Ball itself?

 

I am currently still waiting on:

- Fleur de Lys

- Sa Hara

 

Thanks for pinging me.

[Sa Hara]

Sorry for the delay. I am ready to continue.

[Magnaeus]

@Sa Hara:

Thanks Sa Hara. I like the part you added about that tent in the park. I figure you have armed bodyguards with you? Please try not to shoot any of the other guests.

 

@Everyone:

I will try to continue the story in a few hours, after dinner. I know we are waiting for Fleur de Lys, but on NS he has been inactive for the last 5 days. https://www.nationstates.net/nation=fleur_de_lys

[Orioni]

I thought perhaps this could prove to be useful.

[Sunset Sea Islands]

Are there reporters present at the ball?

[Magnaeus]

Ah yes if you like. That is certainly possible. There can possibly be some press outside the gates. And maybe some of the staff, yours or mine, is taking pictures with their phone. This story is flexible so you can add your own flair.

[Magnaeus]

Can I maybe get some other people to respond to the welcoming? Thanks. http://z7.invisionfree.com/Europa/index.ph...post&p=40003481

I'll try to ASAP. I need to prepare some images, create some text, etc. It has been a lot of fun, at least until now!

[Sa Hara]

You're given me lot of stories to work with. I like your police catching us trying to bring prostitutes to the tent. Maybe I can get some sort of scandal started to isolate my nation. Does anyone want to be the victim of some inappropriate behavior?

[Magnaeus]

@All: Thank you all for being part of this. I know it takes time and energy. The writing helps to get better. To better understand the culture and people we play.

 

@Sa Hara: Any inappropriate behavior will have consequences. Im not sure how for you want to go here. If you try to grab president Gerber you can be sure this will have severe consequences. If you want a smaller conflict perhaps someone from the staff or catering can be your victim. It is not something I like but I see how you want to create a "bad guy" image. Its not easy being bad.

Hey, do you mind if we get into an never ending war? My country is basically made up of militant atheists who ironically now worship an emperor as a god because he introduced the radical idea that man is the greatest form in nature.

 

Basically the Imperium from Warhammer.

[Sa Hara]

@Magnaeus: Ok I am staying away from your president. I have set my sights on princess Selena for now. http://z7.invisionfree.com/Europa/index.ph...post&p=40003632 Don't expect this to go anywhere. The supreme leader is all talk but no action. He is a very frustrated guy who only pretends to be a radical but is actually quite decadent. Much like your typical, hypocritical middle eastern dictator.

 

@Derthalen: You can be my enemy if it includes sanctions and big words and warnings. When it comes to power projection we don't have much reach outside our own area. It can be a war of words.

[Sunset Sea Islands]

@Sa Hara: Prince Adrian will not be pleased with that at all. But I like where you're going with this.

[Sa Hara]

That's fair enough. I don't plan on causing a conflict. Merely generating a general dislike for my supreme leader. And to bait your press into painting Sa Hara as an enemy. I said that I would be ok with playing the villain here. http://z7.invisionfree.com/Europa/index.ph...post&p=40002975 . For that to happen, I am going to need some public outrage as well. If it doesn't come from you or your press, I will be forced to RP even more extreme.

[Sunset Sea Islands]

I was thinking of suppressing the news about that, but if you want me to make the Sunset Sea Islandians hate you, that's fine by me. I can let the news spread if that's what you want.

The Orioni media will have no problem spewing their outrage on your mysogenist comments. As a age-old matriarchy, we probably don't get along. For the really negative comments I will switch to Bron Urgundy of BS News.

[Magnaeus]

@Orioni: You're the last one who still has to reply. Do you know if you can take care of it today? I want to get to the part about dancing and masks. Thanks.

[Orioni]

No time for it yesterday, but I'll publish my part today (Thursday) so we can be done before the start of this weekend.

[Sunset Sea Islands]

@Sa Hara: could we discuss about how the story develops from here on?

I'd think it would be cool if some servant gave Selena a note with a meet up spot and a time, but without a sender. This would be sent by Ewa Rohas to lure her in.
