I'm the current Judge of Thalmarkin. The Grand Marshal in this discussion still shows that he has an active ban from my predecessor. Just out of curiosity we're going to leave it in place to see what happens if he ever steps down or gets voted out.
On a related note, has anybody run into the situation where a knight has been awarded enough good marks to gain immunity from all punishment, and his Lord is a council member, who is also immune? There seems to be no recourse as a judge to punish either the deserving party or to pass on the fine to his Lord. Essentially this means that the knights of council members who are also region lords can run amok with impunity provided they have enough good marks to protect them. This has caused a problem twice in our realm and it seems like a broken mechanic as it renders the judge powerless against a certain group of nobles who aren't even on the ruling council.
