I have long thought it was only the "combat" skills that would get you individual Fame Points,
Nope.

Hm.

Sorry, allow me to clarify. I was asking if there is a point for a single exceptional skill, and a separate point for the triple skill? Or is it just one point for the triple skill?
I'm guessing the bounty fame is for a bounty in excess of 1000 gold, making the minimum threshold... 1050 gold!
then the "Well Rounded" point for having three skills above 50%?
Shadowdale has picked fights with Nivemus, Caligus, Eppy, and Sirion but Eppy needs to 1v1 them....?
I get that too. But I don't see why a standing alliance in your mind is the only reason to get involved into someone else's business. Sometimes you're not allied with either side but you're pursuing your own interests. In this instance - making sure Shadowdale does not get too powerful and dominate the region. I think it's legit. I also liked that they coordinated a pincer sneak attack instead of just mass-declaring/dogpiling on SD.
It just seems to me that controlling how alliances are shaped and then absolutely confining all group conflict strictly along the alliances lines will lead to stagnation. We have war island for that sort of gameplay, where politics are decided by game mechanics. I don't play on war island and I don't want to.
I don't know, maybe you did not enjoy that aspect of the game when you actively played BM. But you can't deny it's important for many here.
Wait, no. "you have nothing to do with someone" just because he's not your mechanical ally any more? This is not human. This is Age of Empires level of diplomacy.
Both Sirion and Nivemus have a clear geopolitical interest to see Oligarch safely in Eppy's hands. I would probably want to do the same to get Shadowdale out of Commonyr. I am sure other nobles in Sirion share the same sentiment and nothing will change if you keep banning their leadership. They will just grow bitter, fearful and more passive aggressive. Or leave.
Guys. What Sirion, Eppy and Nivemus did should not be illegal. Coordinating a sneak attack to stop a takeover they all didn't want to happen should not be a wrong way to play the game. It was good intrigue.
Wait, what? I don't recognize the username, my apologies. Which missive is this in reference to?
Hey, I don't think it's cool to share cherry-picked in-realm IC messages on the public forum, even if some of them are fairly old.
What did I even do to you?
This is why so many sensitive discussions these days happen among a few trusted nobles, while most new players get cut out of the fun. Too many players think "to everyone in the realm" = public.
I will put this as simply as possible - you are saying the discord and the zeitgeist it presents has zero effects on the game?
In the case of Sigrid, that I didn't read on discord "someone talk to Sigrid so she can flip Bruck"?
I am curious what the official directive is on the limits of this. As long as the note is written in BM proper, anything is justifiable?
The second point also concerns the devs so I will present it - I have never claimed you are at the beck and call of a tier of players.
I will say when the devs can put a "give feedback" button on the account pages to get a broad perspective, why wouldn't they? The question is not an attack.
I have never said you are opinion less and totally manipulated. I've asked are you infallible and immune to persuasion?
My final point was elaborated on by Gildre. I urge everyone to take a moment and think about it. What has been written on discord already about this?
