I don't recall him posting anything specific, but from my end he has simply been supplying me with the list of which Scholars want which traits. I gather that he has PMed the various people to remind them to submit their orders on time, and has done me the favor of submitting them all a turn or two before any Senate session, which gives me time to implement them before dealing with the mugshots. All in all, it is a simple job, made only slightly more complex by the fact that you have an avatar that can make use of the Dean's double trait boost ability, which TheFlax could not do.

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom 2
can you explain the double trait thing for the slow learner over here? :dizzy2:
I remember he asked everyone to submit a letter to him on why they should be a scholar and then he chose the current one's. Do you remember that TC?
From the rules I have to submit the list before the end of the session up to a total of 5, including myself.

TC: Thumbs up as ever with the updates. I don' t really need to know my characters whereabouts per update to be honest. But the rest are certainly very useful, it is always nice to see how avatars have 'grown' over the years.
I am just comparing my crude notes to yours and wish to enquire as to whether one of the influences is correct:
It is highly likely it is my misunderstanding as usual but here goes:
It is concerning the largely irrelevant Makadonias influence. He is a Comes which has a influence of 1 and has been ex-megas which raises that to a 2. What is it that raises it further to 3? He does have a 9 chivalry stat but I thought a his rank would mean he could not go higher than 2.
As I say highly technical but I would like to know if there is something I am missing !!!
I have no idea about the Basileus influence so I will leave it there!!!

All Scholars get to pick one trait to improve from the list of traits inside the spoiler under the University rule (3.9). Any trait that is listed there that they already have can be moved up or down one level, as long as the level they are moving it to is also listed (most traits list all of their possible levels, but some intentionally are limited to only level 1). If the Scholar does not have the trait at all, they can instead add the trait at level 1. The Dean is exactly the same, except he gets to do it twice. You can either bump one trait two levels, or two traits one level.
Your job is to decide who the Scholars are, and then to collect their decisions about what traits they want to alter and submit them to me, along with your own choices. Here is an example of a previous PM from TheFlax:

That PM by itself was all the info I needed and was the totality of his responsibilities for that entire Megas term.

Makedonios' ranks are Comes and Ex-Megas.
Comes give 1 normal Influence and nothing else.
Ex-Megas gives 1 normal Influence and up to 1 Stat Influence.
So, Makedonios' total Influence is 2 normal Influence and up to 1 Stat Influence.
Makedonios meets the requirements for 2 Stat Influence points:
(c) 5+ ranks of Chivalry or Dread
(g) 20+ total stat points
Makedonios can make use of his 1 Stat Influence gained from the Ex-Megas rank, but cannot make use of the second point because he does not have a rank that allows him to do so.
Thus, his total Influence is 3: 2 normal Influence and 1 stat Influence.

Well only Ioannis can do that, and only to a settlement he already owns. It would cause a major IC kerfuffle however.

As he was indulging in these reflections, he found himself surrounded by a whole army of Ants, near whose nest he was standing. One of them climbed up and stung him, and he immediately trampled them all to death with his foot. Mercury presented himself, and striking the Philosopher with his wand, said, "And are you indeed to make yourself a judge of the dealings of Providence, who hast thyself in a similar manner treated these poor Ants?'

Good point Smowz.
It doesn't say in the voting thread so it should not be a votable piece of legislation, even though it is at the moment.

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom 2
Since it appears that CA 6.1 will pass, I am going to need to determine which of the previous CAs count as Rule Changes and which count as CAs which will require IC enforcement. The following list are the CAs that I think should remain as IC-enforcement CAs. Anything not listed below would be regarded as a Rule Change. Please comment if you feel like I have put something where it doesn't belong.
----------
CA 2.1 - Players may not move avatars or armies into the territory of a neutral or allied faction without the permission of the Basileus. Nor may they attack the settlements or armies of neutral or allied factions without a declaration of war from the Basileus, a Megas Dux/Exarch or an Edict.
CA E3.2:Upon their elevation to the position of leader of a house, the senator must swear an oath of fealty to the Basileus.
(If it passes.) - CA 6.5:Varangian Guardsmen may only be recruited by the Basileus.

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom 2
I think that is it TC yeah. That 2.1 Charter amendment certainly makes interesting reading, I had forgotten its exact wording to be honest.
Congratulations to Iterulde on the Megas elections. I always love examining elections, by my often wrong calculations it would seem the critical influence the Megas or Edict needs is '21', though in probability 19 will be enough to get pushed through for certain at this stage.
Erg... I seem to have somehow misplaced my copy of LotrMod 1.2. All I've got is 1.1 and the downloader for 1.2 isn't working because Mizus is down. Does anyone happen happen to have a copy of LotRmod 1.2 that they can upload to the Org Uploader?

Re: OOC Thread and Chatroom 2
The War of the Princess is a temporary name for this conflict. Any peace treaty signed for this war can include a provision giving one side or the other the right to determine the permanent (historical) name of the war. History is written by the victors.
