Part of what Cecil just said is one of the substantial negotiation points I am following.

Without force of arms you're going to be in a spot of bother post crisis. Everything you just said is an attempt at resolving that OOC.

An Imperial County did exist...as part of it's original creation...not as part of leaving a House and trying to become one...that is what I thought would be an interesting part of the IC attempt to leave...and that is AGAIN another part of my strategy.

It was my view that Becker does need to accept that he could fail on both these fronts and have to rejoin the house...by the sounds of these few posts, it seems as if that is not an option in a few eyes.

And just a small jab...now that Jan is dead...will that affect the advise Becker is getting ...you know IC issues have changed...or has Jan a ghost that can take over...

So as econ says...is this purely IC or not?
My example was purely to show the mechanics of an Imperial County. I did not intend it to be seen as circumventing IC negotiations.

As for the advice to Becker, I had Jan give that in the beginning of the cataclysm. As for what advice Alfgarda gives, that depends on how tethered I want to make her to Jan's old plots. I don't want to play the same character with a new skin but I do want to stay "plugged in" into some of the "meta-plots" that Jan was part of.

You can assume that Jan left Alfgarda with a massive amount of knowledge about the politics of the Diet. How Alfgarda will use that information is to be determined.

I'm not the only one that has used a new character to further an old character's plots. OK used Elsebeth to link Matthias to Otto's agenda. Gibson has had Peter carry out Erhart von Mahren's agenda. Cecil has had Becker tied pretty tightly to Sigismund's plots. GH admitted he had Dassel kill Hans partly because of something that happened to Jens. Elberhard has continued some of Henry's stories such as Dusan.

I figure having a new avatar gives you an opportunity to start fresh or stay plugged into meta-plots.
