Why are you so worried about how you come across to the rest of the town?
I'm answering your questions... Because I apparently missed when you previously asked me a question.

This doesn't make sense as a response to the question I asked.

At some point "town" might be stating what they think of me.. Right now, only you are asking, and I'm quite clearly doubtful of your motives. Giving you benefit of the doubt, still, but...

Clearly, and I'm doubtful of your own. Which is why I'm asking the questions... I don't like having doubts.

Why are you not doing the same? Normally I would think it was because you prefer to rely on the night game, but that doesn't work as an excuse in this one. Reliance on something you claim ignorance of seems a pretty stupid idea.

Why did you not respond to the rest of my post?

What do you mean "interesting to see who is most incensed by the concept"? Are you alluding to someone in particular?

If so, instead of theorizing on your own, why not ask the person you allude to why they seem "incensed", and in doing so maybe generate contents eryone else can use in their own deliberations? It is a team game, after all.

I apparently thought that's how much space is left in 't warehouse. I have no idea why I thought that.

At least I got it right the way I thought it was :p

Not much point in keeping suspicions to yourself, bub. We've got nothing else to go on.

Starver: this was an implicit "maybe talk about your suspicions with the rest of us?" byraway.
Your own "Looks like you're fishing for something there." post doesn't look like what I'd expect someone with question marks knowledge to say.

But there could be something else in it, like you putting forward your own message which I've missed.

Mostly just worrying that the question marks thing was not a Town-wide thing and limited solely to me, and apparently FoU. I didn't think it was a good idea to reveal to the Evil role that some town didn't know anything about their role, but it's difficult to tell people not to reveal something without revealing what it is they shouldn't tell.

I guess there's nothing to say the Evil role didn't already know about it, but it probably wasn't very clever to reveal it at the opening of the Round.

Call me paranoid, but a secret message for later revelation does imply you know something worth sharing. Given the excess of question marks, one does wonder how you came across this information.

Nothing worth sharing. I just took the opportunity to guarantee that I could back-reference a future claim, as I was too late to get in there and do a "yeah, me too on the question marks" through the impatience of EP to state publicly what Fallacy was saying.

OTOH, because of that I consider both EP and Fallacy probably allied Townies. Fish could have taken the hint, or really was claiming true.  But that's just noise in the probabilities at this point.

A future claim?

You've implied you're in the same boat as everyone else. Setting up a future claim would require knowing now what you need to claim later. These two sentences cannot co-exist. Schroedinger's Starver?

Perhaps you'd like to expand, or are you more worried about the state of the cat? /rhetorical flourish

There's a secret ('cached' for possible later revelation) message elsewhere, but that was just opportunistic. No action triggers. Whether you believe me or not about any of this.

Well they were kinda crippled after Versailles. To go from that to being able to hold their own for 6 years isn't too bad.

It's kinda funny how much WWI affected WWII.

I first played CKII on my wife's non-gaming laptop, about two years ago. She had bought it for school at least four years prior to that.

It didn't run particularly quickly, but it was playable. At least 'til later in the game when things big down a bit... I can't remember the specs of that off-hand, and it has since entered the end stages of its life so a I can't look, but it worked heh.

So... question regarding raiding.

There appear to be times when I can't raid my neighbours, and I don't understand why. I have the raiding thing set, I don't have a non-aggression pact with them, and I raided them not six months ago, after I took another one of their provinces. I wait for the various holdings to not have the "recently raided" or whatever thing, and then I'm not raiding.

Anyone know why this isn't working?

Edit: It seems to have fixed itself. Uncertain if me going to war with someone else, and them also being at war with them and thus making us mutual enemies was a solution, but okay.

This has been an issue before, though. If anyone knows why this happens I'd be quite happy to know why, as it has happened a few times before. Usually I can figure out why (non-aggression pacts, ceasefire things after a war, things like that) but sometimes it's just ???

hector13: Do you have question marks in your role?

How likely do you think my answer is going to be "no"?

A better question to ask might be how town figures out what it can do. If you have an ability that generates results, then it's pretty clear what your ability does. If you have a role that receives no feedback beyond "action was completed" it's a lot less simple.

Do we effectively waste a night trying to figure that out, in the hopes the Evil role doesn't do bad things, or do we just wing it and hope the Evil role is as in the dark as everyone else?

Nah, all we need is a multitude of Alexanders and Temujins. History is of the cycle of people uniting, disuniting, reuniting, disintegrating, regrowing, extincting, replacing, rebirthing and so on

Then have the various groups led by Genghis Alexujin fight each other? That's just continuing what we're doing now.

No, it's just that the wrong people have been treated as enemies. When the right group of people has become the target, then things will be good and equal! [/sarcasm]

This is why the world needs an Independence Day or The Salvation War scenario. Either the human race dies or we unite as one people. It's a win-win.

Uh... I'm curious how death means everyone wins.
