Should Royal of Keplerstan be replaced by Prince of Keplerstan?

(1/3) > >>

Vita`:
This is something that has occasionally crossed my mind from time to time, yet have not developed any strong opinion upon. This vote is non-binding upon any decision and is merely to sample a portion of the community's opinion on the matter.

For newer players' awareness, Keplerstan and Evilstani are often used as example realm names in BattleMaster, much like cryptography has Bob and Alice.

Wimpie:
I believe I'm not having enough background for this.

Where is 'Royal of' used exactly?

What use does this have?

Antonine:
Royal of [Realm] is a title given to all former rulers of a realm who ruled for a significant amount of time. It means you can't be banned by the judge and it's a higher ranking title than knight.

I'd be in favour of making it a realm government setting so realms can choose what the title says. For example, Royal of Highmarch doesn't make sense because it's a democracy, but Statesman of Highmarch would. Similarly, Prince of Luria Nova might make more sense than Royal of Luria Nova.

Chenier:
Not Prince for everyone, that's for sure.

But some alternatives to royal for non-monarchies? Could be fine if decent enough suggestions are made.

Thank you, I'm very much aware of the functionality though.

What my question actually was, is Vita proposing some kind of naming-flexibility of the 'Royal' rank (which you proposed), or something else?

If so, I'm not against giving realm the choice of seeing how they would name their 'Royal'.
