Quick recap: I’m trying to ignore the urges this game inspires in me and everybody else, and be lovely, kind and noble at every possible opportunity; unless I catch anybody being in any way immoral, then they shall feel my pious wrath. After losing every square inch of the kingdom of England with a speed that I almost feel I should be proud of, I moved on to Jarl Isleifur of medieval Iceland. My jolly nature has won me a friend named Yosi… and bandits running rampant throughout my realm thanks to my lack of ruthlessness. After going on a pilgrimage hoping for a bit of deus ex machina, I am now returned, holier than a wagon full of Swiss cheese but in debt thanks to the costs of my travel.
The money situation is swiftly and easily dealt with when I reluctantly ask the pope for some gold. We’re on very good terms, me and Alex, so he totally understands and retains a very positive view of me. It’s not all good news, though, as Count Sigfus – a vassal I’ve been trying to win round for a few years now – still doesn’t think much of me. Then I remember that he thought I was planning to nick his gold when I warned him it wasn’t very well guarded, and I messed up his library when I tried to help him organise it. I was only trying to help! No good deed goes unpunished, etc.
