    The 7 districts in the county of Norfolk are;

    1) Norwich 2) South Norfolk 3) Great Yarmouth 4) Broadland 5) North Norfolk 6) King's Lynn and West Norfolk (sounds like royal lands to me, best not to hand that out) and 7) Breckland.

    In general, just look up the county in Wikipedia. There's a listing of all the districts, the county seat, etc. In your case, your county seat (where you'll most likely put your own personal manor) is Norwich, so you'll probably want to avoid that one as well.

    By order of the King I do hereby call upon the Knights of England, greatest of all Christendom, to heed the call of our Lord for the creation of an elite guard. Men of sincere loyalty and impeccable quality are to have submitted to me in writing [PM please], a request to serve our Liege and land. No greater honor can go to so few men, save for the Apostles themselves!

    By all means, do. Once your king's bodyguard are slaughtered or tied up on combat we will capture him and demand ransom. All though, we'll most likely have to pay you to take him back.

    That is assuming we will lose, French do not lose (we just have temporary setbacks)

    Well, I've sworn my sword to the Earl of Chester, and through him Good King Malcolm. The lemur is now the Baron of Halton.

    Strong knights will need a home for times when they are not on Crusade of smiting the smelly French. The Barony of Halton offers such knights special accommodations:
    • Free dwarf tossing
    • Every Thursday is "Ravish a Milkmaid" themed
    • Squires stay free!
    • Every knights' manor comes with a wooden privy
    • Armor polishing 1/2 off until the end of November
    • Parish priests guaranteed to pardon all sins at reasonable rates

    Frankly, I don't see how any up-and-coming man-at-arms can afford to consider any Barony besides Halton. PM Baron Lemur with questions.

    It's not too late, Cowhead. Believe me...

    We've been in a holding pattern for a while now. Pick a side you want to be on, then find somebody you wouldn't mind having as your feudal lord and text them that you want to be a baron for their county/duchy.

    Since speed is security I'm feeling pretty insecure right now. Even if this game doesn't kick off a list of rules would be nice for organizing a future game. This seems pretty ambitious and I like that.

    I just don't think I can run this game. If someone volunteered, then they are willing to take over the game.

    Barons of England! We have have come to a pivotal moment with the abdication of our King. I therefore step forward to present myself as King. The situation in France remains critical, and I promise to be a decisive sovereign who will bring down the French to their knees and gain that realm, thus enriching our barons immeasurably.

    I would have given Ignoramus's place to a English player instead of a French player, just to keep the balance.

    Wow. A civil war has engulfed England. The French king is consolidating power at the expense of his vassals. I think the Puritans must have something to do with this.
