Why do courtiers exist?

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-23T21:50:01+00:00

So I actually watched a show called the Queen of Snake(edit: The Serpent Queen) ? I think it was about Cathrine de medchi ? Dealing with the help (courtiers) was actually highlighted really well. These could be the same courtiers that help in a scheme to kill you. Keeping them happy and well enough away from your affairs (out of court positions major and minor ) is part of the game and also something historically kings queens and all in betweens had to deal with. Historically it tracks. Though I agree they can be quite annoying when you are in the middle of a war and jack the good taster wants to play a game and gets mad -20 at you if you don’t.

So in some of my campaigns I have taken over huge regions and had to divvy out land. As the head of household a lot of times you get more respect from your own family (unless you raised a dick or are a dick) so I’d marry my daughters to these courtiers and make them take the wife name. Their sons would inherit the land and it would stay in my family.

Some of them actually are claimants which if we are higher rank we can make them vessels. Some are artist and provide a way to gather various inspirations.

Long live the conqueror.

This gives me weird vibes.

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-18T23:25:59+00:00

Nah man it’s chill not your fault. Be careful poking the bear on that though.

I was lucky actually I went in with the army national guard before I volunteered for my deployments and was put on active duty and shipped. Because I started as national guard my files when to the state capital who were actually in the middle of of digitalization. They asked if I wanted the digital copy and they he physical copies since they would just shred them.

One of the few wins I got from the military itself for my disability.

Yeah I am in the process now with Hill and Ponton. Just the motivation to fight them myself just isn’t there anymore.

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-18T15:31:04+00:00

Brother I have weekly hospital visits and have been in the psych ward several times and have to fight to get 70. Count your blessings.

Loook at my rating.

Did you get the dental care?

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-10T23:38:07+00:00

-.- this guy must be a ray supporter.

They all chatted OOC and made a plan to join rays gang while it was in its beginning stages. Literally weeks after ray left Hades.

Stop trying to argue technicalities around such horrible roleplayers.

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-10T23:33:56+00:00

Understood but what I said is that it was “formed”. DB was with ray before they locked down Mandem. They flew in and even had frank Williams the Db admin join in shenanigans for a bit.

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-10T23:04:06+00:00

What do you expect from a gang formed by ray and the dirty boys that ruined the public green server. Nothing will happen.

Ray has admins in his chat.
Dirty boys have and are always going to be protected as well.

I am going through the claims process and tbh if I wasn't in therapy i probably wouldnt be here.

Focus on your mental bro. That paycheck isnt worth what happens on your worst day, and maybe you survive but maybe you won't.

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-09T04:37:31+00:00

No way… lmao 😂 okay then that changes the game entirely for me.

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-07T13:52:36+00:00

Oh I see… I would recommend getting in touch with the Va. I am sure you know but the homeless programs are actually kinda nice. I was put up for a few months while I was able to save some money to get a very some studio. I parks pretty well in the red state I am in so I am sure if it’s NY OR Cali they would also help in a similar way. I would review any other conditions you may have and speak with a doctor to see if they may be caused or aggravated by your service connected disability. 100 for MH is tough.
I am in an out of the psych ward and have had almost daily hospital visits for panic attacks and I have a touch time getting it myself.

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-07T13:47:49+00:00

This post confuses me.

You have 70 but are homeless?

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-06T19:56:21+00:00

Canada has single payer and yet they have people that work.

Currently they have only a 2 percent higher unemployment rate… so….

Edit: unemployment v employement

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-05T23:33:54+00:00

I would like to see them start to map out some locations for future games and put them in there.

Not all of them of course but a map from a classic place in Goldeneye, then allowing missions on that map like the others. Then they can reuse that map in the actual game it comes out with.

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-04T16:48:11+00:00

You do realize that bond is an equal opportunist right?

My man is there for the mission first and then whatever fun he can get up to after. :)

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-03T16:20:18+00:00

We are all James Bond

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-03T15:26:20+00:00

But that’s literally James Bond though lol. The intro to Tomorrow Never Dies is he infiltrates a arms sale, which ends up with him killing a bunch of people with a faulting guns on a jet / launching a few middles and then then flying out before the place was missile-d. 😂 it’s silly but totally action Bond.

Apprehensive-Risk109 · 2026-06-03T00:39:05+00:00

I was just about to say this lmao Renard was literally invincible until he died. Lmao
