OOC Thread and Chatroom

I brought the issue of adoption up in the suggestions thread, I thought Ibn-Khaldun agreed with my point about giving everybody a fair chance to get on the family tree. Obviously I didn't read it right as even if he did agree a motion to change the rules didn't take place. Somebody just suicide my character in a battle.

I'm sure they'll be no need for suicide, whoever is your adoptive parent (I think its hax?) may have agreed anyway.

also, my bad, I know a few other game chancallors only bother checking once, If timmy ever becommes chancallor will have to check it repeatadly.

Let's not get that far! The reason I didn't change the rules is that if you want rules to be changed you must do it in the Council Session by proposing a Charter Amendment.
And yes I agreed that everybody should have a fair chance to get to the family but person who is the benefactor should be able to decline the offer if he wants and I think I said that in the suggestions thread too.

Why would the benefactor want to decline?
also is it up to the parent who gets to use his son as his avatar?

Benefactor may decline if he have some IC grudge against the other avatar.
And it's not up to parent who gets to use his son as an avatar. When FM becomes of age but there is no player for him then they will be stored in the capital until we find a player who wants to join the game.

hmmm I think until the son is found a player, he should follow the father. It would make a bit more sense that way.

i just got a MOTH scroll for me and i have no idea who the benefactor is, or how to save it without closing it...

edit. its rodriko stak. I accepted it cause i didnt know how to save without closing it.sorry.

and i saw something quite peculiar... classical hoplites in makedonian phalanx formation... wtf?

you can save without closing the MOTH pop up by quicksaving (ctrl s). The pop up is diminished, though still there and you can save the game normally.
