I could see people using training matches instead of duels if some minor changes were made.

Then head over to the Feature Request board for a request to modify it.

I think it was duel rings.

And now things get a little more interesting as some nobles are protesting against Victus, including one of the dukes.

Bwahahaha! Tinder, meet match.

Ravenice made an excellent point. No one in the realm has built-in automatic loyalty to Victus or the government. The realm is too new, and his nobles do not share a common background. He probably would be catching more flies with honey, but that just doesn't seem like his style. No complaints here; the conflict is entertaining.

I have given up on making feature requests until the doctrine conversion is over, though I do support ones made by others that I think are good.

Knights Protesting   (6 minutes ago)
Protests against Sir Victus Draco Tanos, Grand Prince of Caelum, Ambassador of Caelum, Duke of the Meshian Plains, Priest of Church of Humanity are increasing, and result in a loss of a point of prestige for him.

Knights Protesting   (6 minutes ago)
After loud protest against his actions, Edmundus has been forced to step down from his judge position. He also loses a point of prestige and 12 points of honour.

The way it's written is kinda vague and it was likely written before Training Matches were introduced. (Sorry, I was too lazy to look it up before, but I knew I'd read it somewhere.) I mean, I guess a random duel is okay... if it's a reputation deal and it's stated.

Personally, I've never understood why dueling for sport isn't allowed, but I figured there was a reason.

I don't think anyone enforces the policies...? I always thought of them more as recommendations than actual rules.

@gustav: my comment had nothing to do with you.

Victus declares that he will restore Edmundus as judge, despite the fact that he was protested out of office. Then Victus announced that the troops from Old Grehk are only leaving for a refit, and will soon return, so we had better not even *think* about protesting him out of office!

Protests against Victus continue unabated.

The northern rulers just got a report from the baron of Kraake. This will turn fun (hopefully)!

Actually, I'm about 95% sure he can't do that for at least a week...

Yes, this will be fun...specially when playing on both sides. Now all those years playing RPG with more than one character will pay.

This would be just internal if Victus had not given the opening to all of us to talk to the rulers...

Let´s see how things goes...

Hey now, you cant know which side Scherzer has yet!  ;) The only thing I saw was that Victus ignored Scherzers letter 1 week ago, unless you continued in private... Does Scherzer have more sources than so?

There was no private letters...he ignored me...

I have one more source from inside yes, there is not just me.

This will be interesting how it turns out. Victus and Edmundus, and others, have declared things like the treaty is just a guidekine, it has no force over us, we didn't sign it, etc. Victus has announced that he has received confirmation from the signatories that the treaty is indeed a guideline, and that it is not intended to force Caelum onto a specific path, or regulate the realm for all time.

Yet now that Viictus is being deposed, he runs to Old Grehk for help. Instead of working with the realm nobles, he yells at them, ordering them all to shut up, and threatens them with the force of Old Grehk's armies. Paraphrasing: "depose me and Old Grehk will put me back on the throne".

So, what happened to going our own way? Determining for ourselves how we will be ruled? Setting our own course? Apparently that's all just bunkum. Or it only applies so long as Victus is on the throne.

Oh yes, this will be fun. Perhaps this could trigger the northern war?

YOU ALL ARE A BUNCH OF IGNOBLE AND HONOURLESS TRAITORS!!!... Good!... For a moment I thought you all were ready to chicken! At this point, it would had been totally incoherent! (would had been? it is even correct?)  :P

IMHO if a 'medieval' noble reach the level of 'personal insults' there is no way back. It would be surreal to work as if nothing was happened with a man who has insulted your honour a few days before... I can understand even a educated-row solved with a duel... But if insults are throw, and the 'proper respect' is lost, then only one can stand in the end.

This is the reason Edmundus never had insulted anyone, even with Onamont, he only throw back his own insults. For me, to insult in this way, in a medieval atmosphere, means 'total war'. Only one will get out alive of this matter!

It's a shame Edmundus was a council member, if not, He would happyly duel all this bunch of traitors and honourless nobles to death!  ;D

The only thing I can't understand is the fast and hard reaction in defense of Onamont... You all were from the same realm, or army comrades, or something?
