Getting "a Good Mark"
« Topic Start: June 18, 2011, 09:43:35 PM »
"Good Mark Received"

I haven't played for many years so some game mechanic things are new to me. One of my knights just recieved "a good mark" by his liege. Does this have a function outside of roleplaying? If so, what?

If you have three good marks, you are immune to action from the Judge, and your oath cannot be dissolved unless you have three bad marks.

Cool, so who can you get good marks from? Only your liege or other people too? Can you get several from the same person?

Only your liege can give you marks.

Something that I have been wondering about these marks - is the entire realm informed of them, or only the noble who receives them?

Lords can see how many marks their knights have. It's listed on the Politics page under You Knights, or something like that.

The only way the judge can find out if someone is protected is to try and punish them. At that point he will either know that the noble has enough to be immune from punishment or not. He can't tell the exact amount.

No one else can see how many good/bad marks someone has. A knight can't even tell how many he has, unless he keeps track himself.

play-politics -> OathView has the "Your standing" field. Under it is your +/-

The only limitation of the knight is he can't know what marks other knights have.

More people should use good marks. ;)

There are very little incentives to, unless you are expecting trouble with your judge.

Also, I await for the possibility for dukes to grant good and bad marks to their lords.

I do it mainly for RP purposes. I've also found that a bad mark generally gets one of my knights to stop ignoring me.

At some point in the past rulers could give bad marks to dukes. I got a bad mark from Arden Fury when I was Duke of Rettleville. It was lols.

Ahhh the Fury family. I remember when Arden showed up in PeL and lectured us on how our "legal" system should work in the realm. I think the dispute was about him simply joining the realm so he and his little group could drain our RC's in their attempt to found yet another colony.
