And the other 31 are inactive!? That's got to be a record.

It's not all that shocking in context. I wonder how many of them were OOC buddies with Mendicant and how many of them were additional, previously undetected multi-accounts. I suppose it's possible there are other explanations, but that seems pretty unlikely.

Is there something wrong with the character list? http://battlemaster.org/testing/charlist.php lists 42 entries, none of which are autopaused.

Theres 35 nobles in total and around 85% of them are sitting in capital without units and are not doing anything. There is only 4-5 nobles that are actively moving and doing stuff...

35 nobles + 7 adventurers

35 nobles + 7 adventurers

I'm just surprised that they haven't autopaused out, I guess. How long have they been sitting?

[Lanyon]

quite a while.. couple months? maybe a bit less

Grab the banhammer, and start whacking.

[Wolfsong]

You can't ban totally legitimate players, man.

I should add: if you're talking about IC bans, I don't believe you can ban people for just being inactive alone. It's an inalienable right: "Playing at your own speed, timing and activity level, i.e. logging in as often or seldom as you like, at whatever times you like."

[Indirik]

Like hell you can't. You can ban anyone, any time, for any reason. (So long as it doesn't conflict with the IRs.)

Send him a letter. No response? Ban!

Send orders to the army. No move? Ban!

Ask everyone to swear fealty to the new ruler. They don't do it? Ban!

Someone complains about someone being banned? Ban them, too!

[Sacha]

Not following orders is not an inalienable right, though. Plenty of people have been banned for sitting idly for weeks.

This is a really common misconception, and a very annoying one.

[Indirik]

Also, the IRs are not blanket protection against the consequences of your own actions, or inactions. So long as you have good, solid IC reasons for your ban, you're pretty safe slapping out the bans.

Ask everyone to swear fealty to the new ruler. They don't do it? Ban!

If you're looking for a blanket tool, I'd say this is your safest, fairest, and most SMA-bet.

And I imagine, knowing a bit about Aurvandil, that this could be an interesting RP for y'all.

I looked at Aurvandil's families, and I estimate they have about 19 legit players of the 35.

Either report your evidence to the Titans/Magistrates, or quit making accusations of cheating.
