So he doesn't have a IG generated Royal title then.

Point being? If you play in a realm for 2000 days, and then got deported and comes back two weeks later, the game won't count these 2000 days in your in-realm count. Should everyone roleplay you as a fresh noble who has never been in the realm longer than your return?

The game is, *gasp*, imperfect. It runs on a ton of mechanism that do various checks in order to apply certain rules. However, there are many cases in which these checks fail at spotting what the most basic common sense would oblige.

Realms are free to RP "royal" as meaning different things, but medieval standards dictate that royalty is in your blood, the blood you share with your family.

If people had to rely on nothing but game-generated titles, actions, and statuses, it would make for a very boring game.

Medieval tradition also dictates that inheritance of positions is based on the blood links, which doesn't happen in BM which would suggest that BM doesn't follow that particular standard. The title Royal has a specific meaning in game, it relates to a character that has held the position of ruler. To RP otherwise to me is to attempt to have RP trump mechanics.

[fodder]

That 25% gold share sent to the realm? That won't be possible anymore, will it?

now.. what are the chances of high food prices to facilitate gold transfer from cities to rural?

fat chance.

It's an adjective. Just a word. It would trumping game mechanics if he was trying to convince a Judge that it would be abusing a bug to ban the character. It's not abusing game mechanic to hate a realm because they tortured the little brother of their ruler.

It is an adjective with specific and significant meaning within the game mechanics. It would be better, and remove much potential for confusion and misunderstanding to use a term not significant in this way, such as calling your blood relations Prince of the Realm or something.

When a noble calls an adventurer his brother, we ridicule him IC. There is no reason to call this an abuse of mechanics. It's the same here.

[fodder]

it's different, because the advy is clearly labelled advy. the noble gets ridiculed because he's claiming the advy has noble blood. which by definition he doesn't as he doesn't have the noble tag.

fat chance.

Chances are 100% if the rural lord actually has the guts to do it. One of my lords consistently sells his food for 50 gold/100 bushels. The other? Is just sitting on the food for now, but winter has begun...*evil laugh*

[fodder]

yes.. but you see.. in a realm of having dukes tax rurals and sending tax on to realm, so realm can send gold to nobles... as opposed to using food trade to shift gold around, that's like... time travelling/magic.

So this new estates system is killing me. I cant change region allegiance!

Uh, what?

Politics -> Change Allegiance -> CHOOSE YOUR DESTINY

No, you fool, the feature was down for a while when the estates system was put in place. you could see the options of which duchy to change allegiance to, but when you clicked on one of the options it had a notification saying it was "Still TODO; check back in a day or two".

It was put back online two-three turns ago.

Two things.

Firstly, there is no need to be so aggressive.

Second, that's good to hear. I wasn't aware it was disabled at any point.

[Chenier]

I have a hard time picturing anyone saying "you fool" as being overly serious and aggressive.

I never intend offense when I say "you fool". Rather I imagine Gandolf shouting "Fly, you fools@" in Moria..
