Please describe exactly the order of events that led to this situation (ie, when you became ruler, duke, and lord, and by what means).
Here or in a bug report?
I'll do it here since I have to wait for an answer anyway.
- 2013-02-15 Appointed as Earl of Anost
- 2013-02-18 Elected as Earl of Anost (results from the triggered election that started before I was appointed; just a reaffirmation as I didn't lose the position in the meantime)
- 2013-02-25 Duchy created, promoted to Duke of Anost
- 2013-02-27 Anost taken over by Darka, lordship lost
- 2013-02-28 Elected as Ruler of Coria
- 2013-03-08 Anost taken over by Coria.
- 2013-03-14 Elected as Earl of Anost
- 2013-03-17 Duchy of Primapares dissolved, title lost
- 2013-03-17 Duchy of Primapares reformed in Anost, title gained
As you can see, in the three days between being elected and figuring out the workaround, I was not removed as Earl of Anost. I held a Duke title at the time, as well as Ruler. I expected the code to kick me out of the lordship the same day, so I was freaking out that I couldn't change Anost's allegiance to the Duchy of Primapares (empty at the time). I thought the option might be available only when I am physically in the region, so I traveled there, hoping to beat the script. I still didn't see the option, so I dissolved my duchy, hoping to reform my duchy with Anost (after all, I
know you should be able to change duchies). Originally, Anost didn't appear as an option, but refreshing the page a few times made it reappear. Anost is now the only region under the Duchy of Primapares.
Is this adequate detail? Should I be including anything else?
I still don't know where I'm supposed to change to which duchy the region belongs. Is it in the "Change Allegiance..." link? It gives me a message that I can't do that due to being a ruler. (Which would make sense in all situations I can think of, except ones like this where you need to move a region you lord over into your duchy. Unless, of course, we're now trying to make it nearly impossible for a ruler to also be a duke, unless he was already.)
