    There has been a proposal for a new rule for when players leave the game.

    If someone is leaving they can opt for their character either to be killed off, or left alive and open for another player.

    If there are no players awaiting avatars, the character and his holdings become the 'property' of the next character up in the feudal hierarchy.

    This was my idea - I wanted to find a way of 'clearing' characters who had been abandoned so they don't get in the way and their holdings, agents, armies etc could be of use to the faction.

    We could add a time limit for inactivity, say a certain number of turns, to cover the case where someone disappears without prior warning.

    The one directly above Vata would be the King, so the lands would pass to him.

    Hopefully someone will join the game and take him over. Also Quirl's character and even Hahold. And is there another guy kicking around too?

    @Nightbringer, I'm sure you are super busy but an update of the first post in the OOC thread would be handy if you have the time!

    Second army to fight with

    Ill have to redo my "turn" and calculations :( Unless you could let this slide as the odds was fair?

    @Nightbringer
    you know what, I realized i never actually put that in the rules, so nevermind. :/ XD

    What is everyone's opinion on that as a rule though? Should battles without any general be autoresolved? should vassals' battles be autoresolved?

    i second a time limit, three turns perhaps? Thats over a week of absence without word.

    Regarding Vassals and captains... Captains = AR Vassals should be fought imho. Perhaps complicate things and let another player fight your vassals battle? Complicated, but adds flavor if i may say so.

    I think vassal battles should be AR'd. We have just one character each and we identify with them better if they are the only ones we can control. Besides, the game is easy enough without making it easier.

    I vote for AR battles for vassals, to differentiate them from our main characters. It also adds tensions as we wouldn't be able to be in two places at once to fight our battles, and helps limit the tendency to think of multiple characters run by one person as being interchangeable.

    As far as characters being switched to unowned I'd be inclined to be generous with time limits in cases where they haven't said they're leaving the game. If we were short on characters for new players to take I could see being stricter, but as is it seems less of an issue.

    Me too - something more like a month in real time would be more suitable. Maybe 5 or more turns of inactivity without any communication from the player?
