Happy Holidays (Or whatever vague politically correct greeting you prefer)

I got suitably spoilt this year- and received ff my Girlfriend the collection of MASH and Dad's Army. I have some viewing pleasure ahead!

Hail Gaius, welcome and wassail!

Here the halls are nearly deserted, but the True and Honorable still roam among them. They chase me all over the place. We have a new influx of delightfully spicy spambots to keep us occupied, and while many of our former denizens have moved on with the Progression of Time and Aging, some have also returned to share their exploits.

It does seem a little quiet but that's to be expected sadly. Spam threads give a poor impression I have to say.

All well otherwise. Bought a house, changed job and had a wee kid in the space of one year so lots going on. Really getting into the diy thing now!

Good to hear that you're doing well.

I found having a house certainly adds to the variety of everyday things you need to know how to do, though I can't claim to be enthused by DIY!

When there are more Spambots than posters, that does look a bit bad.

Sounds like you've been quite busy, Gaius, and glad to hear you're doing well.

What games are you all playing? Got rtw2 cheap in a humble bundle but not all that enthused with it. Played stw2 recently. It's okay. CK2 is the one that keeps pulling me back.

I bounce back and forth between Oblivion and RTW (the original), though lately more in Oblivion than Rome.

I do like to use the custom battles of RTW to fight out the battles that form up in my customised version of Oblivion. I do a lot of RPG in that, and as my chracter advances through different mods, sometimes battles come up that will kill my computer. RTW to the rescue, followed by some cursor commands to make it right!

I just couldn't get in to RTW2.

I've taken a bit of time off over Christmas/New Year, and in between trips to the hardware store I've been re-visiting some old favourites such as ETW2 and LA Noire.

I'm contemplating re-installing MTW2 as well.

Edit - 15 posts to the end of the party thread. Surely it won't stretch into 2017?

It is ridiculous isn't it

CK2 is the one that keeps pulling me back.

I can't abide Crusader Kings 2, there I am trying to build a nice tidy empire and shit just keeps going wrong. Too realistic for me!

Going on three and a half years now. Definitely a record for us

I've been playing a lot of (modded) Total War: Warhammer lately. I started a historical fantasy story for NaNoWriMo last year so I've kinda been stuck in a 'fantasy mood' since then. Been thinking about reinstalling MTW2 as well to play the Third Age mod.

That's why I play CK2 in baby mode.

Also if you don't mind getting bumped back down to count, it's no big deal.

There have been weeks where nobody posted.

I was away aviking, collecting gold tribute and the maidenhood of fair damsels, so I had a good excuses. Viking dragonships are not equipped with either keyboards or wifi.

We are coming perilously close to the end of this thread.

Is there anyone out there who recalls how to set up the next one?

I do recall there was something about Rules, One through Five, then Seven and above.

And a theme. Have to have a theme.

And the countdown begins.

After three and a half years of puttering along, this Holy Roman party seems about to breathe its last.

Who shall claim the mighty prize?

The suspense is so thick one can cut it with a butter knife.

Or battleaxe, whichever is handier.
