Most Importantly:
I'm looking for players who won't quit playing, even if they are reduced to one province or have been ousted from their home province. There is no shame in getting wiped off the map by a force of 100 Jotuns with an Astral-9, Nature-9 bless. At least that's what I tell myself in my morning affirmations. Every player who joins must take a blood oath to play everything out, no excuses. (Nose Bleeds do count, i guess, although mindless nubile virgins will do). Also, any diplomacy, non-aggression pacts, etc. are completely used-car salesman style, nothing binding. Lying, cheating, stealing, and tricking your opponents while you reign victorious is completely acceptable, and, in fact, encouraged. But winning isn't the only objective here, watching lots of epic bloody battles is. Let's make this fun.
