Hey all, I have here one copy of King of Dragon Pass. It's a really awesome game (check out my review, if ya like), and I'd like to spread the love.

So! To enter this giveaway, tell me what you'd do if you were the leader of a tribe of rowdy barbarians. The answer I like the most wins. :)

No set end date (depends on how many entries I get), but I will of course post a warning when it's beginning to wrap up.

not entering, just wanted to say thank you :) +1

oh, and I would make them all say how handsome I am every hour, on the hour - so that when they totally pissed off, we would never lose a battle :)
I'd build a liquere factory to crush MEAD monopoly, than get everyone addicted to it and conquer Dragon Pass via alcohol!

Thanks, I already have it (and it's bloody hard) so I am not in :)

edit: Nice blog you have there (arcanum and KoDP! Good taste )

If I were the leader of a tribe of rowdy barbarians, I'd make them all do cross-stitch just to annoy them. Sure we'd never get anywhere, but it'd be worth it for the look on their faces.

Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks. :)
I would find smaller tribes and wipe them out/incorporate them whilst keeping only a slightly larger than average slice of the loot/women for myself. I would make sure everybody was loyal because of how much of the loot they got and make sure they kept training.
I would also make sure my second in command was fiercely loyal to me and I would still keep my eye on him/her and keep my back to the wall.
When my tribe was large enough I would find some kind of large defensible structure such as a mountain fort or a castle near a village and take that over.
Then I would subjugate the village to attain a fresh source of food, drink and recruits.
Ruling them as I would my tribe, with an iron fist but fair. So they would be protected etc etc.
Should the tribe then grow large and strong enough during my lifetime I would expand using the same tactics. And keep that up until I died basically.

Now should I be myself and miraculously have become the leader of the tribe...
I would take a smaller than average share of the loot and the women for myself and give most of it to my inner circle, try to survive by being generous basically. Because there would be no way I could defend my position in the tribe in a fair fight.

I'm sorry it's not a funny answer, I felt like answering truthfully.

No worries, being funny isn't a requirement for me to like the answer, and I did like yours. :)
I would look at all my loyal barbarians, see who is the most macho and name him Conan (from Conan the Barbarian). I would then use Conan and my other barbarians to act out the entire movie with myself playing Conan's wizard sidekick.

EDIT: I really hope I win. :)

I'd dress all of my warriors up in leather and miscellaneous kitchenware, grab the most eclectic assortment of cars I can get my hands on, fortify a single oil well with a bunch of tyres and a piece of sheet metal taped to the side of a bus and re-enact Mad Max 2 for shits and giggles. I know I'd likely get my balls torn off by the rest of the tribe within a week, but if you ask me it'd be totally worth it.
If I were the leader of a tribe of rowdy barbarians, I'd tell them to sort it out for themselves, I'm a loner and I hate authority.
Then I would say to them: "You're all individuals."
On which they would reply: "Yes, we're all individuals."
Apart from one, who would say: "Well, I'm not."
I'd sent them to put an end to Piers Morgan once and for all.
I would ask them: What is best in life?
I'd tell them to go hunt for wild animals and make me the best damn sammich a pack of rowdy barbarians ever made.

I would start to have diplomatic meetings with the other tribes and stabilish trading with them while gathering an army to wage war against them when they lower their guard.
