I'd second such a thing.

Can I have my say in the matter ?

I disagree with Ramses that it is an IC event, it is rather an In Game event and therefore OOC event...

But if IC consideration come into line, why not say that popular acclaim forces the Basileos' hand...

I like the way TC wrote the second version of his CA leaving 2 slots free for the possible children of the adopter...

Anyway, don't mind me as I am biased by the fact that Methodios got that first MoH offer...

The Emperor idea is decent too. It removes the random element of the game's benefactor choice, and we have been following the policy of the Emperor having the say over the family, such as the case with princesses. So, I'd second 2.x, although if all three go up for a vote, it might split the IC vote, so the ICers should probably agree on one, and I'm pulling for the Emperor now as opposed to my initial proposal.

The thing about the game giving out this reward is that it only looks at the numbers. I mean, what if Methodios goes alone with his bodyguard and destroys a whole Papal stack and gets a crusade declared on us? Do we give him a triumph because the game tells us to? There is an inescapable IC element here.

It's impossible to separate IC from OOC aspects as Tristan has outlined, and others for that matter.

Honestly in a situation like this, given we are blazing a new path on the OOC rules, I'd go with letting Tristan decide for himself now, as a reward for skill, good timing and a small amount of luck. Then hand it over to the Emperor.

It's not as unwieldy as weighted voting in the family and removes both the adoptee and adopter from the equation. It's another nice thing for the Emperor to handle and makes things a little more interesting if you think about it for just a second. Therefore it's a third party deciding and that solves many issues both IC and OOC.

When it comes time to vote, I will put all three current Amendments up and make it a multi-choice poll. I'll request that everyone vote on all three, and only vote No on a particular one if you really don't find it acceptable. If more than one passes, the one with the most votes will be implemented. If they are tied, there will be a simple either/or second round vote. I think that if we do it any other way, none of the Amendments will get the required 2/3.

Law and Politics...

TC you really under utilised.

Sounds good to me.

And now, I'm wondering : why did I post two saves ?

I should have accepted the MoH offer and it would have made precedent...

Damn, my chivalrous avatar must be getting to me...
