Thanks. The "edit time" is misleading.

Edit: Okay. I'll go for Seigneur Confident (aka Gontran de Linars)

Edit 2: I'm going to call him Gontran de Loins

2 Chivalry, huh? Don't know how that will sit with your friends in Aquitaine. I don't think showing mercy towards your enemies is near the top of their to-do list.

I show mercy toward their widows.

Chivalry is sadly very easy to lose, but if he wants to keep it, Vladimir's character is very welcome to join the Order of the Fleurs de Lys - as is any other like minded player.

My chivalry has contributed to the loss of many fleurs along the Lys!

Pshaw, let's not take those chiv/dread points too literally. We're all playing killers, just some of us are more rule abiding killers than others. I take Louis' most dread-tastic trait to mainly manifest as an utter indifference to the lot of the peasant, a quality I dare say he would have in common with virtually all the nobility of the period.

Aquitaine is not the exclusive realm of the dreadly types. All are welcome to come enjoy the wine, wenching, and wrenching away of our enemies' lives and wealth.

Ramses is just trying to sell you his Duchy Vladimir.

Ignore him and come and join the chivalry and merriment of Brittany.

**ULC** · 07-21-2009, 08:38

Yes, join Brittiany

Or better yet, Lorrainne

I actually don't consider the ranks in chivalry or dread to have any impact on my RPing. The building blocks I started constructing Christophe on were his two less-common traits: Cruel and Cunning and Plain. The descriptions of the traits themselves are far more useful in creating a character than counting the number of skulls or helms. There are plenty of traits that give dread due to battlefield actions which would very plausibly be done by 'chivalrous' avatars as well. I think the game will be far more interesting if the characters are judging each other by their actions rather than by simply counting the chiv/dread ranks and notching a person up as good/evil. That's not how the world works.

Good points TC.

If anyone does that with me, they will have a hell of a time keeping up...because in my view they are only a guide.
