Can you put what you wrote somewhere in the rule book? Sounds like a good explanation of what placeholder is for.
What I don't get about placeholder not really intertwined with SMA is why do you need to take lordship seriously outside of Dwilight? Or any title for that matter? People took lordships seriously during medieval period because it was going to be passed down to their descendants. BM doesn't have that system since you don't really pass your title down to your family members often. Do you want people to take it seriously to prevent them from making it too gamey which might ruin some people from immersing themselves in SMA? Can't you just give up your lordship so you can get a better one? I am having a hardtime seeing a solid argument on placeholder except when people use it to maintain their unmaintainable realm size. When would you say you can leave your lordship for somewhere else?
