Stewards or Dukes?

Seems like Michel with a typo.

actually, Michiel is a flemish/dutch male firts name.

it's supposed to be the flemish/dutch version of Michael (eng) / Michel (fr)

Ooops....

It just seemed an unlikely name from my point of view. (Which has no knowledge of flemish/dutch names.)

Ah crap...we're out voted.

This should be interesting.

My fault, sorry - for a minute, I had what we wanted but then I blew it by putting it to vote:

I forgot a basic lesson from student and office politics - if you are pushing for something, do it informally and don't put it to a vote unless you know you are going to win. Or, as TinCow might say, don't start a war unless you know you'll win it; don't ask a question in court you don't know the answer to.

To be honest, there have been some good arguments for permanent Dukes. I just hope we get Houses with some stability rather than shoals of piranhas coalescing just for the latest meal.

Meh, I'm not too worried one way or another. One of the things that frustrated me most about LotR was that I had tons of ideas about how to make it fun and interesting, but I couldn't implement them without being a player in the game. I promise, if things get boring it won't be long before everyone in the game wants to lynch me. I wouldn't be surprised if I cycled through more than two avatars this time.

I vow to create a character who can and will act decisively to keep things interesting.

It's funny how, as we repeat these WotS type PBMs, players may start to acquire certain reputations for how they will role play their characters.

When this game starts, I half expect old timers who receive their first in character friendly PMs from TinCow or Ramses may react like a Civ player who has just made first contact with Ghengis Khan or Shaka.
