If you only held it so my appointment of Margrave of Xavax could be accomplish, then I would be happy to take back the title.
- Dread implicates the possibility of him returning to dukeship, and clearly refers to Artimus being a placeholder here.
- If nothing is forced, the actions of Artimus are still considered to be placeholding. That is, after all, what he did, and his wrongly tagged letter to the realm after him stepping down only confirms that there is placeholding.
The idea is that Autrey should not have reappointed Dread as Duke because that just confirms placeholding, like the player himself admits in this very thread.
I personally believe the rule against placeholding is important because it allows a certain flow of positions. What happened now is a duke that was
finally removed after a very long time of holding that position, is returned to being duke. This entirely kills the possibility for others to have even a chance at becoming duke themselves.
