Cataclysm Mechanics Draft

[econ21]

That's a good question, Warmaster Horus. I think we need a kind of scripted end to the cataclysm - I have an idea that I will PM to TinCow. I doubt TinCow will want to run things beyond 10 turns - what he proposes is far more time intensive than what I have been doing and I am devoting an awful lot of time to this. So what I suggest is that we have a scripted return to normalcy in 1340. If rebellions etc continue beyond that point, then I will oversee them as gamesmaster but they will have to contend with a fully functional Chancellor, Diet and Charter. So it will be in the rebels interests to get things sorted out by then.

Another point on the post-cataclysm stage. I am pretty relaxed about tearing up large parts of the Charter. If people want a Fifth House, want to move their avatar to a different House, want to make their Counties in to "Reichsgrafs" that are independent of any House etc etc that is all fine by me OOC. The only constraint will be that such changes will need a Charter Amendment - ie 2/3 support. Elberhard may even support such changes, if they buy peace, and weigh in with his mighty two influence.

The joys of being shamelessly lewd, huh?

(3) Ducal succession. This is a fairly pressing issue given that Hans is getting on a bit. Factionheir has indicated that he wishes to take Ruppel as his next avatar and make him his successor. I am happy for him to take Ruppel (that's why I adopted the chap) but am leery about allowing players to tie up the position of Duke throughout generations. It does not seem quite fair and also risks making things rather boring.

That's lame, dude.
