But dude, there seems to be some inconsistencies. The Patriarch was there, then he wasn't, WAS it a baptism, was it something else, who knows?
Maybe I'm some deep, deep, deep undercover agent working against the dastardly Orthodox satanic figure who lurks in the background...

Please note that the "WTF" was because of the board eating my post, not anything you said.
I thought Kalameteros became a Patriokos because of Ampelas swearing to him in the beginning of 1110. If so, then the timer would run out in 1117. If it wasn't Ampelas that pushed Kalameteros to Patriokos in 1110, then what did it in 1108? As far as I could see, Asteri only had 4 land-owning nobles in the chain in 1108. Kalmeteros(Athens), Anastatios(Belgrade), Hypatios(Rhodes), What-ever-Rossah's-character's-name-is(Smyrna). In 1110, Ampelas moved into the chain bringing ThessawhateverthenameisofAmpelas'sprovince and Scopia. He then gave Scopia to Kosmas.
*confused*
Sorry if this all seems like a nitpick but if we're going to make these time-in-ranks means something, we need to be clear and consistent.
*edit*
Unless we're not counting 1110 as starting until the Senate session starts. That makes more sense. In that case, the big Asteri feudal chain change did happen in 1108. But that leaves me confused as to why the 3 Asteri people would have 2 different time-in-rank fulfillment dates. Since the same feudal chain switch bumped all 3 characters up the ladder at the same time. So, basically all 3 would have met their requirements in 1116. But Mark died and Hypatios was thrown out. So, that leaves Kalameteros.
Thank you for your patience during this giant brain dump. :D
*no longer as confused*

Just a reminder: yes I am still alive.
My internet is taking a heck of a lot longer then i had originally thought, but I am pretty sure I will be connected mid week.
Sorry about my tardiness
I cant remember exactly what it was that caused the 1108 rank jump, but it definitely happened. In 1110, Ampelas joined Asteri, which resulted in a bit of a reorganization. Whatever it was before then allowed Kalameteros to be a Patrikios, but didnt have anyone at Antypatos. The 2 people at Antypatos rank happened during the reorganization that resulted from Ampelas joining. At least that's how I remember it and that's what my Library entries said before I recently edited them, so that's what I'm sticking with.
I honestly have absolutely no idea.
I hope to be assigning Iconium and Thessalonici (which reverts to me, correct?) soon though, so that should hopefully make things easier.
edit: though currently, is it correct to say I have no vassals until rossah reswears loyalty to me? Or does that get transferred on death?

Yes, Thessalonica is now yours. Ampelas did not have a will that I am aware of, so it goes to his Lord, which is you. I have I already marked this in the Library.
Your second question is addressed in this post.
Ahem. Damn OOC threads going to the next page without me noticing. By bad. Thanks TC

Well regardless, I think you are right, though for a different reason than you state.
Ampelas joined Asteri in 1108 because the Senate session hadn't started yet. It was a weird space of time between when Ampelas posted his last report and when the session opened.
From now on, it might be good to make this clear. The year that a Senate session starts in, doesn't start until the session itself starts.
That is what was confusing me. I thought the dead space in between the last Megas report, and the new Senate session, was actually 1110.
Unless you want to claim that years begin when the last Megas report ends.
I think it would work fine either way as long as we were consistent.
Why this is important is because feudal chain changes seem to happen right before a Senate session. And the time-in-rank thing is important to keep track of since it has to do with an avatar's political power.

YLAC, I am not sure I agree with Veronica just walking out of the Senate. She was my guest, sure, but now one I am willing to just let go.

Nice stuff FD.
Just a general comment to everyone.
It would be best if people didn't take the distances from the Magnaura too seriously. The issue came up before in KotR and it far more preferable to actually attend the Magnaura personally rather than send representatives.
Please note this is not aimed at anyone, but simply a general comment. Given the large time scales involved it is not inconceivable that people can get around and attend in person. It's probably a little bit of a stretch but not too much.
Unless of course you actually want to send someone as a replacement.
The feeling of interaction is greatly increased when our characters are actually "face to face" in the game.
I'm far more likely to deal with someone if they are there rather than talk through a proxy.
Let me restate the general Throne Room rule: If you are using a character created by someone else in one of your stories, you absolutely MUST get permission from that person before you post it. It does not matter whether the character is the other person's actual avatar or just a random NPC that they have created. DO NOT USE SOMEONE ELSE'S CHARACTERS WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION. This is a very serious rule and I will not hesitate to remove people from the game if they violate it.
My deepest apologies for my long absence,
I have been absent on my holidays and I feel somewhat guilty that I have missed such a large portion of events. It took me a couple of days to digest all the recent events and am happy to return to hopefully play my part in this epic once again.
As for my holidays, I had a tremendous time touring around the countries of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Romania. I would recommend the cities of Tallinn and Vilnuis to anybody (that is not to say i did not enjoy the other places i went but those two stood out). The trails in the Carpathians in Romania were superb as well.
Anyway enough of that Nevoulas has some catching up to do.

I totally agree. I'm noticing there is a "scribe's convention" in the Senate lately. Having your proxy argue with the other guy's proxy gets old.
Having a scribe give basic information to the Senate is one thing, but having him arguing is another. Like AG, I think the game is richer if we have our characters debate in person.
Stop... trying... to... goad... me... OOC...
And Mak wouldn't care about that anyways. He could care less if Ioannis adopted random people. His beef with him IC is that he didn't checkmark a simple form.

Yes but having my character constantly walking in and out of the building, 'tired from a long journey to Constantinople' sounds a bit odd as well.
Poor Savvas will get grumpy if you don't allow him to have his secret decadent bacchanalias in peace and out of sight of his fellow noblemen.
