No, the in character stuff is taking place in private conversations.
If there is an in-character announcement that a player wants to make to everyone, it can be done here. I feel as if that situation would be so rare that an IC thread would be redundant.
I'm... Just gonna leave this here.
Greasus the Great (deceased) (Age at death unknown, estimated in his mid to late 40's)
Strong (Mighty, even by Moblin standards...)
+1 Diplomacy, +2 Martial, costs 25
Brilliant Strategist (...he was a terrible warlord...)
+9 Martial, +2 stewardship, +2 Intrigue, -1 Learning, costs 17
Aggressive Leader (...with a thirst for blood...)
gives 5
Gluttonous (... matched only by his hunger for consumables.)
-2 Stewardship, gives 10
Stubborn (Exactly as pig-headed as you might expect...)
-1 Diplomacy, +1 Stewardship, gives 5
Slothful (... he largely preferred to bully others into doing what he wanted...)
-1 all stats, gives 10
Wroth (... but when his fury was roused, all around him trembled.)
-1 Diplomacy, +3 Martial, -1 Intrigue, costs 1
Architect (He enslaved the Gorons of Rolling Ridge, that they may build him an unassailable fortress...)
+1 Martial, +2 Stewardship, costs 10
Arbitrary (... and from this perch, his tyranny and wickedness knew no bounds.)
-2 Stewardship, -1 Learning, gives 8
Brave (And yet, when the Royal Labrynnian Army came to depose him, he did not falter. Even as his lesser kin fled he stood his ground, bellowing hatred and defiance as he slew dozens of men with claw and cudgel.)
+2 Martial, costs 12
No, I did not kill him this turn, if that's what you're thinking. He died hundreds of years ago, but his actions are having a ripple in the present...
So why am I posting it here? Because I made this and was so damn proud of it that I wanted to show it to people. Plus, who can say for sure there won't be a Greasus the Second one day?

So... We're not going to get to see the results of each turn? It's all going to be personal chat? Okay, I'll unwatch then, was wanting to read the quest, not watch the debates, or scroll through pages of myriad conversation topics to see results.
Good luck running the quest. Shame no one else will get to see the results, or the potential story of the participant characters.

General results of major events that affect multiple countries, such as character death and wars, will be posted in the main thread. However, things like military alliances and trade deals will not be posted. The reason being so that if we run into a scenario wherein, say, if two countries decide to form an alliance against another, the defendant will not be warned ahead of time.
This is a reminder to get your actions to me today. The turn results will be posted tomorrow. If you do not give me any actions, the turn will proceed as if you did nothing.
So, after much thought, I have decided that I am withdrawing from the game. Out of general lack of knowledge on the Zelda-verse and my indolent nature getting the best of me, I believe that Lorule will be better off with a more active player. If this hinders anyone that has made deals with Lorule in the past, I apologize but I believe this is for the best.
I am getting Breath of the Wild soon, so hopefully that will help out in better knowing the lore.

MARRIAGE!: A royal wedding has occurred between King Sidon of the Hyrulian Zoras and Lulu I, the former Matriarch of the Terminan Zoras. A special election to replace Lulu on the Terminan council will be called shortly.
BIRTH!: A healthy baby girl has been born to Prime Minsister Oscar Plen of Labrynna and his wife, Alicia. The couple have decided to name her Natalie.
Players, Turn 2 begins now.
Please have your actions in to me by Saturday, November 18th, 2017.
Please advance the ages of all of your characters by one year.
If anyone has a character who is Wounded (not Maimed, Scarred, etc.), I forgot to calculate the percentage chance to see if their wound was healed during Turn 1. Please send me a PM in our respective conversations stating the characters who are wounded as well as their current Health Score with the wound (their chance of healing is dependent on their Health score).
Hey, all, I have a little something-something for you.
If you are still playing Breath of the Wild and are looking for things to do in it, I wrote up rules for a challenge run for it a while back, and I pretty much forgot about them. Gonna drop a link here so that those that are interested can see it: Breath of the Wild Enforced Class System Challenge
As of right now, I only have 4 out of 8 players who have locked in their actions for Turn 2. With that being half of the player base, I don't feel entirely comfortable moving on to Turn 3 under those circumstances. With respect to that, and with the fact that this week is Thanksgiving (and many of us will be occupied with that), I have decided to extend Turn 2 to this Saturday. This way, any players who have not locked in will get an additional opportunity to and those that have will be able to enjoy Thanksgiving without any interruptions.
If you have already locked in for Turn 2 and would like to do something to help the campaign, I would ask that you see if anyone would be interested in playing either Lorule or Spiritia. Since these countries are major players, I would prefer that they be in the hands of a player so that they can take a more active role than they would have under my control. In addition, if you already have your Turn 3 actions planned (which I know some of you do), you may go on ahead and post them, but I will most likely not calculate them until after Turn 3 has started.
It's Wednesday and I still have no lock in from the countries mentioned above. As I mentioned, I feel uncomfortable moving on without these players to have performed an action. At this rate, it doesn't appear that they are going to be getting their actions to me in time, which is an issue because some of them are major countries central to the story of the campaign. So, I would like to put forth some options of where to go that I have considered and ask you guys for your opinion on them:
Continue the game as intended with these countries having performed no action. The issue here is that now we have several countries that essentially become non-issues, or I have to initiate their actions (This would bring up my cache of NPC major nations from 2 to at least 4, which I do not have the time for).
Rearrange current players to major countries and have a smaller campaign with no player-run vassals. (As we have 4* active players, this would most likely mean that the countries in the new game would be Hyrule, Labrynna, Holodrum, and Termina.)
*More if I am mistaken on this front.
Attempt to recruit new players to take over the NPC countries.
Put the game on hiatus until such time that it is more condusive to all of our schedules.
I thank those of you that have been active players and have been patient and forthcoming with me on how this game is run and their opinions on it, and I apologize for some of the poor ways in which I have handled things. I would love to be able to continue this campaign, but I do not believe that it is practical to do so in its current state.
Again, thank you for your understanding:
Algernonab
Well, seeing the you consider the first option to be impractical, I'm leaning towards the third option. I'd rather not go with the second option, but I'm willing to in order to avoid the fourth option (since something that's on hiatus can very easily wind up dying, at least I my opinion).
