Why? They have another duchy, which contains another city. I was under the understanding that the capital changing allegiance was an allowed move.

Indeed. The conclusion of the Solaria magistrates case was

Quote
The Magistrates decline to rule on the question of realm mergers generally and the secession of capital duchies at this time, due to ongoing discussions among the Magistrates, Dev Team, and Tom.

The bug was about the last duchy switching allegiance, and that was what the rule the case was pinned on.

You posted yourself then:

If you are declaring now that #1 is to be disallowed, that is a major policy change.


Not only will it require significant code changes, but it should absolutely not be used as a reason to punish Solari for what he did, because for years now, it has been both possible and legal to change the allegiance of the capital duchy. Ex post facto laws are a bad thing, whatever your original ideas might have been.

If discussion among the Devs resulted in capital changing allegiance now being disallowed, it should announced.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

Yes: To remind the developers what they said before!

Apparently I have misremembered, and we have not changed this. Thus, my earlier pronouncement in this thread was incorrect, and it would be completely fine for Woelfy to change the allegiance of the Duchy of Balance's Retreat. I will edit the message with a note to that effect.

What did you think things where going to end peacefully so quickly.  Look at the way things are going.  I do not think its going to cool down quite yet.

Sevastian tried. What is to come is on Bowie and his minions.

How does Sevastian plan to feed BR? Does Courts of Stone produce enough food for it?

First off,  Abbigal is not one of Bowie's minnions.  Second Sevastian has not tried.

That was our original name, but some people squirmed at the reference. I brought it back for a bit during the crisis but then EVERYONE squirmed  ;D

The only difference between Swordfell and Asylon is that our nobles wouldn't squirm if we renamed the realm '!@#$show'  ;D
