This is more of a communications logistics question.

I'd like to work out a way to keep separate TC's IC and OOC actions. The things he would have to do OOC to engineer this, are things we would gut a person IC for doing normally. I still want Jan to interact with Lothar IC but I don't want to be nailing him for things that are completely OOC like how TC is planning to engineer rebellions. I check the save game at least once a turn. Normally, if I see a city in red face or an army is moved somewhere I don't want, I PM the Chancellor IC and ask for things to be changed.

I guess the point is, there will be things happening that we need to pretend aren't happening. Like, tax levels, capital placement, army composition, and the like. I want to know which of these things to ignore and which to take up with Lothar IC.

I'm assuming through all of this that Lothar will very much be trying to run things as Chancellor and I would like to have Jan interact with him IC. In the meantime, I understand that there will be a lot going on OOC in order to bring about IC effects and I don't want to accidentally confuse the two.
