Yeah, but I don't want that game to die! 
I don't either...I just find the situation interesting.
I'd venture that we can already foresee the next reputation of Apollodorus (if not of the covenant) : The Jerbiton who gathered a group of lecherous, drinking pagans with dubious origins. 
Let's review some of our ([size=85]most admirable of course[/size]) qualities... 
-*- Jormungand, Fieltarn, Fiona : three Ex-Miscellanea from decidedly non-roman Tradition.
-*- Jormungand, Fieltarn, Korvin : Pagans. And quite the merry pagans we are, with each of us having at least 2 in Carouse, as Alexei Von Kroitsau does.
Onesiphorus is also a Charm(3)-ing fellow, who I remember not being against another cup wine served by the generous Alexei, at the first Council meeting. And while non pagan per se (I think) Onesiphorus also has the "Pious -2" personality trait, so he's probably not the one who'd be disturbed by some of our clergymen jokes. Combined with Fiona's Distilling talent (whisky)+3 and "putting people at ease" Charm specialty (not to mention her/Peregrine_Bjornaer's occasional lusty jokes), Apollodorus is gathering quite the jolly band!
-*- Jormungand (Carouse:Sex, Charm:Women), Alexei (Charm, specialty "maidens"), Korvin decidedly "lecherous", Fieltarn being a "student of primal behaviors", Apolodorus having a secret sex life with Tria (both using Ulrich's education as a pretext to do it in other magi's Sanctum, I bet)... no doubt that at our next council meeting someone will put forward a motion for hiring [i]more /i servants, if only for the poor girls' health. Perhaps Apollodorus might send word by Redcap that the next Tribunal meeting should expect a lurid and passionate congregation from Mons Erecti... err, Electi, sorry. "For the sake of your covenant's maidens, have them watched by their mothers. watch the mothers too".
And I'd speculate that with a bit of luck we'll even be visited by a not too stiff quaesitor sometime soon, one who has barely hidden his regret (frustration?) at not having enjoyed yet one of Apollodorus "lavish dinner parties" (his words). But even if I'm not mistaken in my reading between the line of Proctor ex Guernicus letter to Fiona, I believe that he has no idea how "very social and active" Mount Beuvray is to become. 8)
The humor will serve you all well for the dark times ahead.
And don't forget young Ulrich: Venus' Blessing and Lecherousness. He'll fit right in, huh?
Hmm...who's going to take advantage of all the springs and a little CrIg and build some baths?
Alexei is quite an enjoyable fellow no doubt, but he ain't no Pagan!
That's why we needed an Aquam Summa.
@Peregrine & qcipher : of course. 8)
qcipher, do you want someone to play your grog in your story...
Oh and I changed the name of the thread... 
That'd be great, we have 2 available, though I'd prefer Michelle to be run instead of the Page.
Page has a red shirt on him, just in case anyone gets an idea...
This is open to anyone who wants to do it, new players, too. Until someone instills a lot of personality into a grog, I consider them to be utility players able to be run by anyone.
Oh, and if you think it's a lot to read up on, you can start on page 6 of the thread. Everything before that is not related to the story that's underway.
So who wants the red shirt of uh...honor?
Not every red shirt died. Scotty did very well.
Did I misunderstand, you want to run Michelle or you want someone else to run Michelle?
Someone else could if they like. Otherwise I'll just keep puppeting him.
Ok, go ahead and advance the story until someone steps up. And in this case, I'd expect Alexei to talk since they are together.
Hitsumei, jebrick and chicoazian: there will be a Tribunal in summer of 1221. Let me know if you want your characters to attend. Also there is a tournament, with various games (as detailed in The Lion and The Lilly). Also let me know if you want to particpate in any of the games. You can enter as a covenant and sort out who's competing for which game at a later time.
If you're interested in Certamen, check out an Unfriendly competition and the Coming to dinner threads, the 2nd and 7th place finishers from previous years are there, and Alexei dealt with #7.
Yes, Fieltarn will attend, certainly. I'm interested in politics too.
As for the games (I don't have tL&tL), I might be interested too. Either as a participant (depends of the nature of the games) or as an enthusiastic onlooker; After all, this peculiar custom of Normandy is surely the occasion for magi to reveal some of their usually subdued/hidden urges. (and no, no dirty thinking here, not this time 
)
Sneak peak at year two...
1221.1 A Turbulent Matter -Alexei
1221.t All Politics Is Local -Tribunal
1221.2 March of the Primi -Korvin (this one happens after the Tribunal and Tourney, but in the summer)

1221.4 Hazy Shade of Winter -Jormungund
1221.5 You Put Your Big Foot In, You Put Your Big Foot Out -Fiona
