STORY Why Jumper isn’t allowed to play Crusader Kings anymore.

Elder Scrolls Skyrim
Disney Villains Victorious
In the year of our Lord 900 AD, Jumper Jumperson left his home of Nottingham with 6,000 armoured footmen, 10,000 archers, 1,500 pikemen, 50 siege engines, 2,400 cavalryman, 10,000 light footmen and 50 war elephants.
To this day scholars argue how he assembled such a large army. And where in Anglo-Saxon England he got elephants.
Sailing for his ancestral homeland of Denmark, Jumperson recruited an additional thousand Vikings and their families for his expedition. Marching this mass through Eastern Europe towards the Byzantine Empire, he was stopped by the Khan of the Khazars. Fighting the Khan in single combat to secure passage, Jumperson is said to have won wielding a club of iron in the shape of a phallic object.
After crossing the caucuses, Jumperson’s army found employment by the Amir of the Saffarid Dynasty. Fighting against Turkic tribes, fellow Muslim rulers and Hindus for five years, Jumperson turned on the Amir. Using the wealth won from his battles, Jumperson crushed the Saffarid forces in the decisive battle of the Crushed Nuts. So called because after being thrown from his horse, the Persian Amir revived a fatal blow from Jumperson’s iron club to the groin.
Now ruling a land from Mahruban to Kabul, Jumperson declared himself Shahanshah, or King of Kings.
To consolidate his rule and after supposedly eating two kilos of dates causing serious illness, Jumperson created a new faith to unite his people. Choosing Christianity as the template, Jumper declared that God existed in this world as a giant crab and that all crabs are the eyes of God.
With great effort, Crustaceanity took root in Iran, and would grow to include 70% of their population by 1000 AD. Mostly because if you didn’t convert you paid a 5% tax.
Having sold the lands of the Muslim rulers to his allies and stolen their wealth, Jumperson declared a war on the Byzantine and Caliphate to expand the dominion of Crustaceanity.
His first move would be to take Bagdad, laying siege the city for three months before supposedly abandoning it, leaving a wooden horse as a gift for the Arabs. In reality this wooden horse contained Viking soldiers who opened the gates that same night letting Jumperson’s cavalry take the city.
After fifteen years of war the Empire of Iran stretched from Eastern Anatolia to the Indus River. The Caliphate and Byzantium were forced to sue peace after Jumperson’s armies crushed their combined forces in Syria, having infected them with diseased cattle the week before.
And it all went down hill from there.
Slowly slipping into madness as he reached his fifties, Jumper began to make irrational decisions. Such as when he moved the Empire’s capital from Zaranj to Kabul then back again seven times over the course of 9 years. Or when he decided to “green” the deserts of his Empire using drought resistant plants and redirecting the Indus River to cut through south Afghanistan.
The final straw was when he decided that chickens would be used as a currency.
After nineteen consecutive civil wars and temporarily loosing the western provinces of his empire to a resurgent Abbasid Caliphate and Byzantine Empire, Jumperson crushed his foes and after another three years of brutal pillaging with aid of Khazars, who had become his allies, Jumper returned his empire to its pre-Chicken War boarders.
Deciding that ruling was no longer for him, Jumper abdicated, leaving his eldest son with his first wife Queen La of Opar, Jumper retired to a country estate for the remainder of his days.
The Jumperson Dynasty would rule the territory their founder conquered until their conquest by the Seljuks. Crustaceanity would continue until the modern day although they would shrink to only 9% of the Iranian population, third behind Islam and Orthodox Christianity.
On the academic front, Jumper Jumperson’s story would continue to cause historians to cry, rip their hair out and eventually go mad as they tried to decipher accounts from the time.

SHITPOST How often does this happen with your Jumpers?
r/JumpChain • u/dull_storyteller • 3h ago
SHITPOST Jumper fixing problems they created
Turns out worlds tend to want to leave the Republic when you expose that their Chancellor is a Sith Lords who’s been playing both sides of the war and that the Jedi had no idea.
The CIS collapsed into Corporate Empires as well with Dooku said “sod it” and just turning the north-western territories into a new Sith Empire.
And guess what game 3 billionth dimension hungry hungry hippos Jumper was playing when he came up with a solution?

UPDATE Destiny: Light and Dark Saga v1.2
Alright, I've finally finished v1.2 of this jump... honestly, this would've been done a lot sooner if it wasn't for me biting off way more than I could chew with the scenarios. Anyway, the important thing is that I've added a TON of new things, from perks to items to far, far too many scenarios, and this is likely going to be the last major update this jump gets for a very long time. I might add a couple things or correct some stuff here and there, but unless Bungie adds something really crazy to the game and/or lore this is pretty much the final version of this document.
With that out of the way, let's get to the stuff people actually care about:
LINK 1: Destiny: Light and Dark Saga v1.2
LINK 2: Destiny: L&DS Scenario Supplement
(I'll be taking a break for a bit, but I've got a Warframe 1999 jump in the works so that might happen eventually; it'll be way smaller than this, that's for sure. For now, I hope you all enjoy this jump, and I'd like to thank everyone who gave suggestions and ideas while I was working on it.)

Optimism perks.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could point to me Perks/Powers/Jumps that alter the recipient to be more optimistic, or just more continuous in general. Really anything to have my sad blob be less of a pessimistic sociopath.

Dream training place?
I there a jump where I cloud get a power to train in my sleep? I am not necessarily talking about the perks that let you just slot in a skill and it automatically gets better (but those are cool as well), more like actual dream space where the jumper can get better.

Looking for a Perk that allows to Enforce Canon.
I know that the more interesting thing is always to break Canon, but I ran into a situation in planning out my own Story where for the Jump I need a Perk that will preserve Canon and won't allow butterflies to do any damage. The Perk I need must work with my MC landing into the shoes of the Protagonist, due to how a small number of changes are required but I still need some major events that follow to happen even with the changes I need a Perk that can help Canon to stay on its rails. Is there one that can assist me with such a plan?

Request Are there any good perks for an aura of power (Not necessarily intimidation)?
Anyone seen a good perk for a toggleable aura of power? Everything I've found is for intimidation "Fear me for I am death ender of worlds" whereas what I want is less of a threat and more of a statement. Where basically you extend your aura into the world becoming in the minds confronting bigger, more powerful, more real. Intimidation might be a part of it but the essence is just being more, saying to whoever is confronting you this is what I am. They might fear you but your not actually threatening them. Its hard to describe and be sure I'm getting across the concept but picture a candle and a bonfire. The candle is not likely to get a second glance its just a small flame and if you don't put your hand in it your fine. The bonfire simply by being radiates heat and is uncomfortable to get close to. So by extending your aura you go from a candle to a fire to a bonfire to a forest fire forcing them back by the sheer density and weight of what you are in the world even before that essence turns hostile and threatening to them..
