Sorry, if the game is being hold up at the moment, but a close relative of my wife has been taken to hospital in a coma Friday evening... So the week-end has been rather tough... I'll try try to catch up the threads before tonight and will get to the save then...

Certainly no pressure with this, get personal stuff sorted. My best thoughts to you and your family.

My sympathies also. I hope everything goes well and take your time!

Thanks for the kind words... She's now out of the coma but remains quite weak...

I'm truly sorry for the delay ingame but will catch up soon.

SO glad to hear of an improvement.

Still no pressure from me.

Tristan, I am sorry to hear of your family difficulties. Don't worry about the game slowing down - you were moving at a cracking pace before your troubles and real life comes first.

On the inheritance issue, I understand from Braden's IC post that we have some OOC ruling from Zim? Can that be reproduced for other players' to read? I find the King's IC interpretation of the rules very odd and contrary to how I would read the rules OOC. Ituralde's IC interpretations seemed spot on to me. To say Dukes are "independent" and therefore a Duchy's lands are lost if the Duke dies intestate seems to be going way too far.

**Braden** · 11-10-2009, 12:51

I've intermated in my IC post that if the IC ruling comes via an OOC clarification from Zim I'm happy.

Mainly as I had the same understanding of the rule as econ21 and that an "independant" Duc was one without a feudal chain below him, which seems more logical to me, the King picks up the property as there is no senior Baron of that Feudal chain to pick it up and maintain it.

**Ituralde** · 11-10-2009, 13:19

Yeah I'd also like to hear the reasoning. Because I remembered that passage to be in there to prevent exactly the thing that is happening now. The possibility of Duchies falling into the hand of the King.
Also it seems we do need a definition of "independent" and "feudal chain" then as I understood them differently just from reading the Rules.

Either way I'm not against following sound reasoning. The consequence of this whole thing seems to be: If you're a Duke you better have a will. If that's the only consequence I'm alright with that.

Cheers!
