Meanwhile, in Solaria...

Malus was ruler before, while still a priest. I don't know where the idea that priests can't be rulers came from, but that is rather silly.

Theocracies ring a bell?

Years ago, before the elections by the referendum mechanics, priests couldn't be elected in government positions. A restriction that always outraged me.

[Woelfy]

Must have been some time ago. I can't recall a time in my tenure where priests have been unable to rule. Then again, I'm not fond of the priest game, so I don't pay very close attention to it.

Less than four years ago, more than two years ago would be the vague timeframe I'd set, for I'm pretty sure the new election mechanics came after the creation of Dwilight.

Nope. It was actually about a year before Dwilight opened that referenda were first implemented.

Really?

How long did Dwilight take to be published, after being announced? Because I specifically remember making plans for Dwilight with this restriction in mind.

Oh wait a moment... Dwilight had this special election mechanic way before everyone else did, didn't it?

Not sure. I'd have to dig through my D-list archive, which I'm far too tired to do right now

It opened in early 2008, though, if you have a D-list archive to look through for comparison.

I don't think so (I think all of testing got it at the same time) but I wouldn't swear to it.

[Woelfy]

Well, Solaria is dead.

Sevastian is done with Dwilight.

Time to listen to the voice of reason (Bedwyr).

[Glaumring the Fox]

How does that happen? I didnt think last duchies could secede.

[Feylonis]

Bug exploit?

Delete Luria!

[Telrunya]

Secession and changing allegiances are two different things, but it's already being discussed in the case topic about the same thing.

[Solari]

We really should move this discussion over to the Lurias thread.

[Chenier]

You can secede now! Free capital!

[Nosferatus]

Would actually be cool to have a realm based in balance retreat, its a nice central location yet its lands unwanted by all neighbours as they can't hold it.

A lot of people have had this idea, and I just have to say that purely by the numbers it's a terrible idea. Travel times, no gold, no food. I applaud people for trying. The RP value is certainly there, but RP won't usually protect you from starvation, invasion, or monster outbreaks.

D'hara is still there.
It is possible, perhaps most players feel unactracted by the idea of having to import food all the time.
I don't think it will be any hjarder then running D'hara.

PS, how much is alley of swords producing in food?
Tranquil produces almost 500 and flying hngrs(or something) about the same.
