Hi buddy, i played along with yout latin story telling part but then getting called "court jester" and the message "Shame on house soni fluctus. My blade will be all your house will have left to endure at this disgrace." gets me the idea im unwanted here. Im sure you understand.

Feel kinda bad about it, i congratsd you even about the tourney but its pretty clear im unwanted here

Was Definitely not the case, but probably for the best at this point. Best of luck again

[Devante]

Going to guess this is a language barrier thing, unless there is history. I'm thoroughly confused by any offense lol

Yes its history...

stupid history if you ask me but yes some history..

"Expression latine, elle est littéralement traduite par "L'âne frotte l'âne ". Les ânes, réputés pour leur imbécilité, se frotteraient donc l'un à l'autre lorsqu'ils se reconnaissent. Deux imbéciles qui se côtoient auraient donc tendance à se congratuler entre eux." It does NOT mean "donkey rubs donkey" lmao

So "The donkey rubs the donkey ". Donkeys, renowned for their imbecility, would therefore rub against each other when they recognize each other. Two imbeciles who rub shoulders would therefore tend to congratulate each other."" is the translation..

"Ass rubs ass", Pig's Ass Rubs pigs ass (for the record it does not mean somebody enjoys rubbing your ass, or, thinks you enjoy having your ass rubbed or something..

It just means both say to each other they are so great because both are too stupid to do anything else..L'âne frotte l'âne = one ass rubs the other ass (in english : french 'rubbing the ass' means 'sucking it up')

The stage is set, the players have been named, the ground has been chosen, the scheduled battles have been dictated. Bellum omnium contra omnes can begin, A war of all against all.

Your king has graciously offered up the battleground, which shall take place on the Kings conquered lands. Lands that were expanded on by my predecessor, but of which is ruled now by Kings Court the second. The lands of former Houses Cirth, Doriath, Ecthelion, Finwe, Beoren, Gorgoroth, Aldudenie, Jaroman, Ingwe and Hareth is where we shall battle. These houses were once strong noble houses, but they conspired against your King, much as your noble houses do now. They were destroyed and made weak, and now fall under the Kings Court realm. Let us see if you will suffer the same fate.

The time for Para bellum is over. No, that time is long past. War has been knocking on your doorstep as each of these sixteen houses raised their banners and cried out “ad victoriam, aut neca aut necare”. You have been busy little bees, buzzing in corners and planning in shadows. Waiting for the moment to let slip the dogs of war. Waiting for the moment to cry out as Julius Caesar once did; “veni, vidi, vici”. Your king and soon to be emperor welcomes the challenge.

To my loyal soldiers I simply state:

"We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalog of human crime. That is our policy." These houses will not stand when we are finished. That is what is required. "Shall we allow our audacious enemies to violate with impunity the territory of the Republic? Will you permit the army to escape which has carried terror into your families? You will not. March, then, to meet him. Tear from his brows the laurels he has won. Teach the world that a malediction attends those that violate the territory of the Great People. The result of our efforts will be unclouded glory, and a durable peace." aut cum scuto aut in scuto.

Very well then. Let us be on with it…

[Devante]

Games are sent so check settings to make sure they are right before accepting. There are two games, one for each house settings. Except for Josko.ri vs Swimmerdude99, says josko is banned. I'll have to look into this. In the meantime a reserve is welcome in case he cannot participate.

May your battles be gloriously bloody and filled with tension, enjoy.

[Devante]

Looking for one more noble house to take over a player's spot. I will throw in some princeps fives for the player willing to take the spot of our very recent conqueror. Let's go...

[Devante]

And House Trafalgar Lex draws first blood against House Della Venere

[Devante]

Still looking for a replacement player for Josko if anyone wants to hop in

[EagleByRob]

In Please

[Devante]

In Please

Thanks and Welcome. House Aquila per Rob rises to the challenge

[EagleByRob]

Thanks and Welcome. House Aquila per Rob rises to the challenge

Casa (EagleByRob) - Poly 3, No Spoils, Chained, Fog, Trench

[Devante]

First set of battles is finished and was quite interesting, your king is pleased. Yet this is only the initial step towards this merry slaughter we are partaking.

Houses Mirabile Optimum Semper, Periculum Interfectorem, Trafalgar Lex, Domine Invertitur, Occisor, Gallico Donelladan, and Cardinalis Pixar, all managed to claim victory in both their confrontations. Yet a single battle won does not guarantee victory in war of course. House Aquamagnus Domus and House Aquila per Rob managed to claim victory in their homestead but not at eachothers respective battlefields. Houses Negotiationis, X Viarum, Calceus, Stabilis ad Victoriam, Della Venere, Generalis Bax, and Venter Fuat, failed to hold on during this first encounter. But it is said the best guests typically arrive later to the party. It would be foolish to underestimate these houses and I expect great things will follow from them.

Well fought to all you noble houses. Your positions forward in rank have been noted and updated for the peasants to see. Now onto the next set of battles shall we...

[mr_inverto]

Not sure if its just me, but I can't see who I'm meant to be playing next...

[Devante]

Not sure if its just me, but I can't see who I'm meant to be playing next...

Risk_Killer_1 is your opponent. He didn't accept the invite. I'll resend.

[Devante]

Seems he's left the site. For those scheduled rounds with him opponent gets a break to regroup and get their houses in order

[mr_inverto]

Thanks, I'll start working on the garden

[Devante]

Thanks, I'll start working on the garden

May have to hold out on that comrade

[Devante]

The king was most displeased with the abandonment of Casa Periculum interfectorem (Risk_Killer_1). However, a worthy challenger has stepped up. Casa Testimonia Scott Erit Iecit (Nut Shot Scott) will challenge the other noble houses. Preferred house settings are Poly 2, No Spoils, Chained, Fog, Trench.

Casa domine invertitur (mr_inverto), unfortunately your garden will have to wait. A chalenger has stepped forth.

Casa Negotiationis (traffic133) has been offered a rematch for the first confrontation of houses as well, in order to keep the overall noble house advancements fair for all in the land.

May your women be merry and your battles bloody

[mr_inverto]

No problem, I will fertilise my roses with the blood of my enemies.
