I'm happy to administrate this one. 1. Meserach 2. nife2o4 3. Kalle 4. deadbuffalo 5. chequers 6. QuantumBit Post below to claim slots! Kalle is new to the game. Settings wise, Rectification on, Infernal Census on (unless anyone really objects). Open to suggestions on the map, other than probably doing something different to the Infernal Divide from the last game. Pace-wise, I'll aim for one turn a day, barring exceptional circumstances, although in the event turns happen to come in more frequently I'll certainly process it asap. As such, any and all timezones are welcome. I'll use Dropbox to administrate save-shunting. How about it? Nate ? chequers ?
Heh...well...I did just sign up for a fourth game of Dom3... I just don't think I'll have time. Thanks for the invite, though.
I'm in for another, I think the other game only has one turn left for me to process for Saccaroa and kat anyway. the one thing I'd request mapwise is no lake of fire. The palace of fire can be too unbalancing.
I'd like to request that you all continue writing up your turns, because reading the other thread was wonderfully fun.
Any game I'm in, I'll do my maps and my writeups. I've learnt a lot about Photoshop and I'm pretty quick now.
Fuck it turns in this take 10 minutes, I'm in. e: Now I just have to figure out how to download the client again.
Just to let you all know, I'm accepting applications for blood vassals now. Please list two character references and your last 3 groveling positions. Interviews will start later this week.
Ah, man! I totally missed this thread. That's probably for the better, I'm going to be a single parent for the next few weeks. Next game!
I assume Deadbuffalo is still starting another game soon? If not, I'm up for doing a third once this one is underway. (/me maps furiously)

Turn 3: Come at me, bro! I got my own mini-pandemonium. Also stuff I learned about reinforcement: It happens before the healing phase, and if your unit is damaged, you do not get it's max hit points, only the current ones.
Events of Turns 1-5 as narrated by His Munificence, Baron Meserach, Rightful Ruler of Hell Foolish worms, Let it be known that this is the true record of events in the Great Succession War for Hell. The Infernal Throne has been vacated, and all is turmoil. The Conclave will convene in due course in its wisdom and will proclaim a new leader, or else the throne shall be seized by force. In the mean time, all of Hell's Great Houses must work to prove themselves. But all they shall prove is their inferiority to me, Baron Meserach! Initial movements are much as to be expected, the pitiable scum all rushing for territory. The immensely corpulent one, Marquis nife2o4, is the first to seize a Place of Power, his Slaves (N1) flopping heavily onto The Summit of Mount Erebus (P6). Pfah! I never wanted it anyway. On the following turn, three more archfiends lay claim to Places of Power; bull-headed monstrosity Baron Kallicus takes the Great Wheel of Pain (P2), horse-headed Marquis QuantumBit claims the Pillar of Skulls (P8) and equally horse-headed Marquis Deadbuffalo seizes The Garden of Infernal Delights (P4). If they seek to intimidate me with these paltry shows of power, they have failed. Archfiends also move to shore up their military positions. Marquis Deadbuffalo hires the Fulminata to reinforce his Stronghold (SD), recognising his feeble legions will not be up to the task of preventing assaults on his stronghold. Baron Kallicus clearly feels he has something to prove, hiring two legions, The Crimson Reapers (K2) and The Darkwing Legion (K3). Mere numbers will not win this war, friend. The Bazaar sees more action than the fields of battle, with Relics the Reliquary of False Prophets (which grants a trickle of Prestige and adds to the healing rate of the controlling Archfiend's forces) and The Iron Maiden of Insatiable Thirst (which grants the ability to command more legions and receive better tribute), and the Artifact the Meretrix Sigil (which boosts the Infernal stat of a legion and grants it the ability to do a portion of infernal damage in successful Ranged and Melee combat rounds also) all being sold to sundry Archfiends. Your various little trinkets will not save you when I come into my kingdom, fools. Finally, Baron Kallicus makes a demand of Marquis QuantumBit in the Conclave. The Marquis proves himself as craven as his elevated rank would suggest and concedes to the demand.

Events of Turns 6-16 as narrated by His Munificence, Baron Meserach, Rightful Ruler of Hell Pitiful maggots, The progress of my rightful and glorious installation as Ruler of All Hell has continued, slowly but quietly, beneath the notice of my feeble rivals. These imbeclies and toadies who consider themselves my equals or betters have no inkling of the fury I am ready to unleash. Owing to the execution of several of my infernal secretaries in fits of boredom, my notes of the last ten turns of events are scattered and incomplete. Nevertheless, events as I best recall them: I seized the Theater of Sloth (P3) early on. No other additional palces of power have yet been claimed or changed hands. The Conclave announced a tax whereby Archfiends were to pay a tribute card for each legion they commanded. Those who failed to comply lost Prestige. Marquis QuantumBIt and Baron Kallicus have entered into a state of some enmity with one another. QuantumBit threw the first demand, which Kallicus conceded; Kallicus made a demand in answer, which was also conceded; a second demand made by QuantumBit was just refused. It remains to be seen if QuantumBIt claims vendetta An impertinent and laughable demand made by Marquis nife2o4 of my august self was refused with all force, and thus far the MArquis has pitiably declined to seek any kind of satisfaction. Articles purchased form the Bazaar in this time have included: The Legion of Woe (D2), by Marquis Deadbuffallo Relics the Bowl of Abject Darkness (which gives a small Prestige income per turn and prevents the decrease of the owning archfiend's attributes from events or Machines that might otherwise damage them) and the Talisman of Greed (+2 to Tribute Rolls and a better chance of finding Manuscripts) Artifact the Tent of the Flayed Apostates, which provides the owning Legion with the ability to provide its full combat statistics in support, rather than half. A number of manuscripts, including the Manual of Defense (for training Praetors in single combat to be more adept at avoiding damage) and the second volume of the Rite of Impure Sacrifice (a rite that, if all the volumes can be located and used, will boost the owning Archfiend's Charisma by two points).
