KotR Out of character thread VI

[Warluster]

How long d'you reckon this thread will last? :)

[TinCow]

From now on, can we have all Charter Amendments put straight into the rules? I've been keeping them in the Current Legislation section of the Library, but it's starting to overflow with them. For reference, here are all the ones that are in effect but are not in the rules:

Charter Amendment CAE1.1: econ21 will be authorised to give AI factions extra florins; for example, by gifting them a lump sum every 10 turns or so.

Charter Amendment 6.2: Medifix will no longer be used and in its stead, FactionHeir's trait and ancillary fixes will be implemented. He will also take full responsibility of any issues regarding these files, however unlikely these may be after extensive testing.

Charter Amendment 6.3: Dukes may bestow the title of Count on Electors without avatars.

Charter Amendment 6.7: Any decision that would lead to the excommunication of the Reich has to be authorized by a Diet vote, requiring a 2/3 majority. In the event of a conflict, this Amendment supercedes Rule 3.3 and Charter Amendment 5.1.

Charter Amendment 8.1:
Clause 1: Amend 1.4 by adding: If no build queue is posted for a settlement, the Chancellor can build what he likes. The Chancellor may upgrade a settlement at any time (ie upgrade the walls regardless of a build queue), unless such an upgrade is forbidden in advance by the governor.
Clause 2: Amend 4.7 by adding: If a Duke resigns, the Kaiser appoints a successor.

Charter Amendment 8.2: In addition to the Kaiser, an Emergency Session of the Diet may be called by the Prinz, or if three of the four House leaders (Dukes or Stewards) agree to do so.

I would like to ask permission to join this PBEM in the service of House Austria.

Welcome Cecil XIX, you are free to join the Austrian House we do not have a free avatar at this time there has been a wait for some with the Austrian House members but you can still participate.
However, if you wish there are some other free avatars in other Houses. If you haven't read up on some of the House threads do so and get a feel for what is going on. If you still want to join the Austrian House you are most welcome and can participate by being an Elector and have your say in the Diet and House thread.
econ21 will get you official signed up with the House of your choice.

[FactionHeir]

I think Franconia still has an avatar overload.

[OverKnight]

@TC, if they're passed and legal, I don't see why we can't put them into the Rules, earlier ones are already in there. I guess it's up to econ though because he's the one who'd have to edit his own posts.

No one has taken Lothar (of the Hill People) yet, so in summarizing the edicts, I put him in as your avatar. If that changes, I'll edit.

I think Franconia still has an avatar overload.

Aye, and we seriously lack the people playing them. Especially if the Von Mahren family moves to Austria.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Ah, now this is what I've been missing. There's nothing more fun than a good old-fashioned argument in the Diet.

[econ21]

I would like to ask permission to join this PBEM in the service of House Austria.

Welcome - I suggest you take one of the von Mahren sons; there is an amendment to make that family Austrian which should pass.

Pick either Erhart and Sigismund von Mahren; you can see them listed in the table in this post:

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showp...81&postcount=1

and they should be in the library.

Tincow - I've updated the rules, but only the amendments in the last Diet were not already incorporated.

[TinCow]

Ok, I think I've got every last thing in the library up-to-date. Please let me know if you see anything that is wrong. At a minimum, check your own Biography and the House info posted in the Family Tree area. I am particularly concerned with making sure I've got all the Titles right.

FYI: I have completely eliminated the Military Rank info from the Bios since it is largely obsolete. If someone has been Knighted, they now simply have an extra title: Knight.

As far as I can tell, the following avatars are currently unassigned:
Helmut von Hamburg
Jan von Hamburg
Harold von Dassel
Fritz von Kastilien
Ehrhart von Mahren
Péter von Kastilien
Sigismund von Mahren

We will also have 4 more males come of age in the next Chancellorship (Siegfried von Kastilien, Markus Steffen, Matthias Steffen, Wolfgang Hümmel) and we will have no less than 6 daughters of marriage age.

Odds are that the following avatars will die in the next Chancellorship due to age: Henry, Leopold, Otto von Kassel

This means that we will have, at a minimum, 11 available avatars by the end of the next Chancellorship and we will only have need of 3 new ones. That leaves 8 extras. As a result, I think now is a good time to start recruiting more players for KOTR. I don't like the idea of having so many extra avatars sitting around doing nothing.

Welcome - I suggest you take one of the von Mahren sons; there is an amendment to make that family Austrian which should pass.

Thank you. After careful consideration, I would like Sigismund to be my avatar.

[FactionHeir]

Talk to your new Duke and jump right into the running diet session then :)
Oh, reading what has gone on there and in the house thread might be useful before you do.

[StoneCold]

Stig, the storyline stuff are not suppose to be known to the general public, so you can't used that in the Diet. And also Warluster killed the wrong prince anyway resulting in the story not really logical.
