that is not what this topic is asking for. there are many cases in which the content of a message is specific to the group it is initially sent to and will continue to be discussed among those same people regardless. it would simply make it easier and more convenient for players to have the ability to reply all in such cases, which for those of us who are busy is a nice thing. it will facilitate quicker discussion in such cases, which will occur anyway, enabling those players to move on to other things or to implement the ideas being discussed, which is good for activity either way.

you also may want to have less ideas and more implementation.

no one in xavax ever said anything about rebelling against you, although the more blog-posts i see  putting up internal discussions on forums, the more that ultimately pointless exercise becomes tempting.

most players play this game for the wars. some just for the rp, some like the priest game, whatever. it's not hard to have a little something for everyone, but if you don't have war you don't have a realm real quick.

chill, my dude, just chill. be like the fonz. what's the fonz like? he's cool  8)

because in the real world nobles could be set upon by their enemies and tossed in prison for any or no reason.

saying "the only way he could have ended up in jail is if he committed a crime (because game mechanic)" is bad rp.

If he was looting in the region and people got a report of it, I guess then it's fair. If it was pure RP, then I agree that it was rather lame to use it.

There is still hope in BM though. In Luria Nova for instance I did something similar. I was arrested for attempting to assasinate the Judge, said he came only there to inspect the destruction of a temple of my faith and that he beat me up and arrested me without cause because he didn't want the investigation. I had even informed him beforehand that I would come. The Emperor of LN accepted the explanation and no action was taken, although I had also hoped it woul spark a war which it didn't.

Some people will abuse RP's, that's true. But I believe that enough will also honor and enjoy them. If a King 'disrespects' RP, then you should easily find an IC excuse for a rebellion for betraying his country and his countrymen.

A king who listens to peasants before he does to his own nobility is a traitor! Bye bye!

This is how we tried to spin the Sundar situation, but people kept right on RPing as if game mechanics determine the potentialities of RP. "He is in their jail, thus he must have committed the crime" was said, and I'm damn near quoting.

LN, if nothing else, at least sticks up for its own against foreign parties no matter what...well most of the time, they did totally abandon that one Kenwood infil. Xavax apparently does not, but like I say I am not surprised.

Sadly rebellions have largely gone the way of the dodo in this game, most people are just drone soldiers who take the path of least resistance now. Ducal secessions are pretty much the only way to shake things up in a larger realm.

except that they would be too far from any realm that has actual wars to be a mercenary realm, and surrounded by monsters.

Alexander the great would have totally been removed as ruler if he'd played BM.

Being forbidden from naming places after people makes no sense, it has massive historical basis.

totally agree with glaumring here. people rp their characters' internal monologues all the time and send them out as messages. everybody's going to be a mind reader now?

i was pretty pissed at how the sundar thing was handled, but after playing this game so long you gotta know that, aside from a very small collection of players, most BM players, especially rulers, play this game extremely conservatively and will sell out their realm mates in a second just to not look bad. even when the people they are looking bad to are totally inconsequential.

we (shulee, geg and I) campaigned pretty hard for sundar but in the end we were met by a chorus of "he is in their jail, he must have done it, and he totally could have destroyed xavax with his horrible actions!"  ::)

piss poor rp all around and disappointing reaction to a potential conflict-sparking action.

I disagree with mentors being island wide. Makes no sense for a new player's closest relationship to be with someone in another realm.
