Protesting rulers
« Topic Start: August 07, 2013, 06:42:50 AM »
So, question:

Can you protest a ruler out of office using exclusively silent protests?

In Caelum we've had a boatload of protests and about 5-10 turns straight of the ruler losing prestige and honor: he's down to 5 prestige now. We haven't had lots of public protests, however, so I'm wondering how this works. Do we have to protest publicly to get him out of office?

Absolutely. There is no special requirement that public protests be used.

It just increases the number needed by a not insignificant amount.

Sounds good. From the looks of it the ringleaders have started going public anyways, so we should get this thing sorted out soon enough.

Ask in-game or something. The Locals are locked for a reason.

Yes, you are right... but the communication is so hard in inter-realm ways!... mmm... maybe It could be helped... a gossip guild could be useful!  ;D 'The Old Tavern'... I like it!  8)

Sounds cool. Go for it.
