Padma May 02, 2003, 10:17 AM <Reserved>
Padma May 02, 2003, 10:24 AM A question about the nobility ruleset:
Will the holders of office in the main DG be allowed to have one of their characters assume that "title"? In DG2, the player who held a DG office was given an automatic title in the Peerage.
My personal preference would be to not do this, as our RPG characters have little real relationship with our primary DG roles. This would also seem consistent with the way this game has started, with us being able to overthrow "the Despot" in the RPG, while having no connection to who the elected "President" is in the main DG.
Shaitan May 02, 2003, 10:28 AM I'd say no. Just as the Pres of the demogame is not the despot in the RPG. Same with the other offices. Now a player could certainly make a character that achieved the same position, it just wouldn't be an automatic thing.
TNG May 06, 2003, 09:01 PM When there are nobles, if they give birth do all their offspring recieve the same title?
Civanator May 06, 2003, 09:06 PM Padma, what about Aza and Antonius? They are co-despots, so wouldn'y they be royal?
Shaitan May 06, 2003, 09:08 PM No. Lines of heredity would pass to the eldest son (eldest child for us since we have ladies and want to be fair). Other children were pretty much on their own but could generally get established using their noble connections. Note that even though they do not hold a title all children of nobles are noble themselves.

Co-despots? Hardly, they are advisors.
Now, I'd like to make Aza and Antonius nobles.
Bootstoots May 06, 2003, 09:29 PM Aza: I adbicated our throne to Atrous, Antonius. We will regain the despotism upon his death.
CivGeneral May 06, 2003, 10:34 PM @Padma - MY characters are listed as a Gentry, Most of them are on the Lower spectrum. Only one character is on the Upper Gentry (Noval Gontsky), but it will soon be passed down to his son.
How can I get my characters on the "Gentry" list. (I know the Despot at this point would only have the authority of giving nobilities)
disorganizer May 07, 2003, 09:21 AM Padma: should we also maintain the dead ranked characters in your list? or at least the nobles?
if yes then please add Elenora to the royal list as died in 3300BC
Padma May 07, 2003, 09:25 AM @CG: I try to keep up on the other threads, but I don't always have time to check everything. ;) It is very helpful for players to post changes to their status in this thread (with LINKS to the appropriate post!) so I can be sure to see them. The Character thread is not a good source for this, because of occasional misunderstandings of what is allowed, e.g., people have created "Noble" and "Royal" characters, even though we explicitly said not to.
Also, as Nobility Manager, IMO no one is higher than "unlanded" Lower Gentry at this point, unless and until the Despot raises people to explicit positions.
@dis: That sounds like a good idea, but I fear that as characters are born, live, and die, the length of the list might become unmanagable. I *will* keep track of deceased characters off-line, until I figure out the best way to handle them.
disorganizer May 07, 2003, 09:39 AM @padma: use a textfile as soon as the post gets too big.
you could maybe maintain a "royal genealogy" in text or graphical files...
or maybe... just use the bloodlines! make one file for each bloodline which hold the characters with birth death and relations between each other (note that "external" links to other lines are possible!). then only post the name of the "bloodline" (for example at the moment, it would be the "d'Atrou bloodline") with a link to the list of characters :-)
disorganizer May 07, 2003, 10:02 AM here is an example genealogy sheet for the d'Atrou bloodline...
(just to get an idea)
you could of course use standard genealogical programs and graphics to do it :-)
deputy despot is btw imho not a valid title for a noble... not even a valid function... advisors, grand visir, baron, count, etc. would be ok, but not "deputy despot".
Padma May 07, 2003, 10:10 AM Yes, dis, I am thinking about using a geneology program to maintain a "Famliy Tree" (or "trees") for our Noble Lines. It would help simplify tracing family ties down the ages. ;)

disorganizer May 07, 2003, 02:58 PM Atrous should define their rank. He must state it ;-)
Civanator May 07, 2003, 03:15 PM He did. We are Nobles.
Can I create a family house? Like DeAntonius?
Padma May 07, 2003, 03:29 PM Atrous did refer to them as being "Nobles", so I have included them under the "Nobles" table. But without any further specific titles, I am leaving them as just "Advisors". In any case, they are unlanded Nobles.
And yes, Civanator, as Nobles, you may create family houses.
disorganizer May 07, 2003, 03:29 PM well, which kind of nobles? Marquis? Earl? Viscount? Baron?
that is the point :-) defining someone noble is not enough, the rank inside nobility has to be defined also ;-)
Civanator May 07, 2003, 03:35 PM I'd like to create The House of DePaolo
Padma May 07, 2003, 03:45 PM Certainly, Civanator. Either post, or PM me, the members of that house, and their relationships to each other.
Civanator May 07, 2003, 03:48 PM House of DePaolo
Antonius "The Great"
Aurelia (Wife of Antonius)
Anthony (dead) (Father of Antonius)
Nicole (dead) (Mother of Antonius)
Padma May 07, 2003, 03:52 PM A little more detail, please. ;)
Aurelia = Antonius' spouse?
Anthony = Antonius' father?
Nicole = Antonius' mother?
Edit: Beat me to it. :p
Bootstoots May 07, 2003, 04:44 PM Promotion to Noble is legal, right?
disorganizer May 07, 2003, 04:55 PM the despot can promote people to nobility (but hey plexus! he has to define the title!!!) and take it from them. nobody else can.
Plexus May 07, 2003, 06:23 PM My heir is Tasius, he will be rightful despot. But, until Antonius and Aza die, he will not be the ruler. It will be a joint ruling until their deaths.
I would like to promote Izcoatl and Breifus Lifespanius to nobility.
Izcoatl will be teaching my children and Breifus will be thier bodyguard, along with a contingent of loyal Rouge.
Noldodan May 08, 2003, 12:55 AM The House of Taurnaina
Poldohtar, current head of the family
Maltatari, wife of Poldohtar
Laitatan, son of Poldohtar
Nambanoldo (dead), father of Poldohtar
Perianoldo (dead), father of Nambanoldo
Stuck_as_a_Mac May 08, 2003, 06:12 AM Bodyguards get nobility?
Hey! Aza! Lauren DiSaaMuel needs to have a talk with you!
disorganizer May 08, 2003, 07:06 AM Stuck: Aza is not in the position to place nobility... at the moment
Padma May 08, 2003, 10:45 AM Plexus: Could you tell me the Titles Atrous is granting, please? "Nobility" isn't really sufficient. And if you don't really want to make someone a "Baron" or "Earl" or whatever, consider making them Upper Gentry instead, with a title like "Grand Vizier", or "Head of the Imperial Guard", or something.
Civanator May 08, 2003, 02:12 PM Padma, My name was DePaolo. Sorry, but people spell my name wrong all the time. Drives me nuts :crazyeye:

I believe overseeing the children's welfare would fall under the term Godfather more than Bodyguard, Stuck. But maybe that phrase hasn't been coined yet, who knows...
disorganizer May 08, 2003, 02:26 PM And i believe Beifus has a real hard time as both children are a bit lively and use him as a big "toy" rather than a bodyguard. Especially Elenora has some of the traits her mother had... and if she kicks you, she kicks you hard :-)

Plexus May 08, 2003, 05:01 PM Antonius and Aza will be granted the titles of 'Marquis'.
Brefius and Izcoatl will be 'Barons'.
Stuck_as_a_Mac May 08, 2003, 05:18 PM Aza has a fancy title... Lauren wants some nobility for her and her two sons.. Aza!! Where are ya?
Plexus May 08, 2003, 05:25 PM Atrous: My advisor has no abilitry to grant titles, Lauren.
Stuck_as_a_Mac May 08, 2003, 05:29 PM Ah, well be it. My time will come soon and my duty will be passed on to my sons, Walter and Brian. Perhaps they may one day recieve titles..
Plexus May 08, 2003, 05:35 PM High Guard Tiberius Herius Sparticus (Herius)
I am submitting my high guard to the upper gentry. (This is it for a while, Padma)
Bootstoots May 09, 2003, 04:23 PM I would like to announce the creation of the House of Peesea. Here are its members:
Stuk Aza Peesea (father of Honorius, Quintus, and Agrippina)
Honorius Peesea
Quintus Peesea
Agrippina Peesea
Also, Civanator, Antonius is not a co-despot as far as I can tell. He is a Noble, but not a Royal.
Cyc May 09, 2003, 10:03 PM I would like to announce the creation of House Lifespanius. The Noble family of Baron Briefus Lifespanius can be found here. (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?threadid=52206&pagenumber=2)
naervod May 10, 2003, 03:19 PM I am announcing the creation of the House of Decimus.
House of Decimus
Marcus Decimus, Deceased, Father of Romana, Husband of Nirvana
Nirvana Decimus, Deceased, Mother of Romana, Wife of Marcus
Romana Decimus, Deceased, Daughter of Marcus and Romana.
Caesarus, Deceased, Unknown Man, Father of Sentana, but not Romana's Husband
Sentana Deciumus Head of House, Daughter of Caesarus and Romana Decimus
Note: More characters will be added shortly, and Marcus is not a PC or NPC, ust their for Romana to have a father and Nirvana a husband.
Noldodan May 10, 2003, 07:22 PM Padma - I am in open revolt against the Despot Atrous. As such, I request that Laitatan be promoted to the rank of Noble.
EDIT: seeing as how Laitatan is dead, this has been rendered void
disorganizer May 10, 2003, 07:39 PM Padma:
Caia Atrous Helena was now married by Diutius Lifespanius
as such, please rename her to Caia Lifespanius Helena.
As she is a princess now, what will be her future title? And what will be Diutius'es title? Note that his father is a Baron.
I believe that Diutius will now be known as Prince Diutius. And if his father gives him the title of baron as heritage, he may also be baron (and helena baroness) at the same time?
OOC:
note that our royal family tree gets more and more complex :-)
naervod May 10, 2003, 07:44 PM I would think they would be known as Caia Lifespanius Helena, Princess of Fanatica, Baroness of the House of Lifespanius and Diutius Lifespanius, Prince of Fanatica, Baron of the House of Lifespanius, but I may be wrong.
Plexus May 11, 2003, 03:42 PM Lauren (SAaM) shall be promoted to noblitiy, she shall be a Countess.

Cyc May 12, 2003, 02:53 PM Padma, You have misspelled the first names of both my characters on your lists. Diutius is spelled this way, and Briefus is spelled this way. Just thought I'd keep you on your toes. :) Thanks!
Oh, and btw, Briefus and Katra are still alive at age 35. :D
Padma May 12, 2003, 03:17 PM Fixed. :D
Given all the changes I was working with today, if those are the only mistakes, I will be happy! :crazyeye:
disorganizer May 12, 2003, 03:48 PM Hy Padma, shouldnt Helena now be listed at the house of Lifespanius? Or at least Have a link to that house?
Also, how will the houses "combine" if diutius and helena get children? Will those be listed in the house of d'Atrous or the house of Lifespanius?
Stuck_as_a_Mac May 12, 2003, 03:50 PM I would like it if Jackie and Bob were added to the DiSaaMuel house post. they served as parents to Walter who is a member of the house.
Padma May 12, 2003, 04:16 PM Saam: I'm trying to figure out the lineage there. :D I though Walter was the son of William & Julia, and raised by Lauren. Where do Jackie & Bob come into the picture? :confused: :crazyeye:
Dis: I'm working on how best to show the "linkages". I will be working on graphic "Family Trees" tonight/tomorrow, so that should help.
As to Diutius' and Helena's children, they will be listed under House Lifespanius, as the most common system in use was/is patriarchy.

There've been a rise in the birthrate recently, especially with a few twins.
Sir John May 13, 2003, 02:59 AM Any Chanse of Ceasar Nero to become a noble or a upper gentry for inventing the throwing axe??
@Padma: I have done a lot of genology so I know how to use genology programs. I would be willing to help you if you, well, for example promoted Janus Nero to upper gentry :D
disorganizer May 13, 2003, 05:30 AM The Royal line of Lifespanius would like to announce that they expanded their family with 2 new twins:
the first born girl "Diutia Lifespanius Bellona", and the boy "Praeditus Lifespanius Maximus"
The parents were Helena and Diutius.
Also take not that the succession up to now will be the folowing:
Bellona will inherit the land her mother owns from the D'Atrous clan as well as the title of "princess"
Maximus will inherit all his fathers titles and functions.
OOC:
bellona will be "controlled" by me, Maximus by cyc.
Cyc May 13, 2003, 12:55 PM I am happy to announce the wedding of Mellita, my daughter to Brian, son of Lauren. This will join the house of DiSaaMuel with that of Lifespanius.
The wedding ceremony will be short and private with only a few friends in attendance. May the couple be happy and live long. :)
Stuck_as_a_Mac May 13, 2003, 01:10 PM Yes, there is to be a weding. I just truely hope I can be able to attend, for I may be out hunting for barbies.
If not, I wish my son and his new wife all the best.

Sorry i didnt see that before
Padma May 13, 2003, 03:51 PM I added Jackie & Bob to the house, but I still don't know where they fit in. ;)

Plexus May 13, 2003, 11:50 PM GenoPro, some free program. It is okay, but, understandibly, it doesn't do BC dates...
disorganizer May 14, 2003, 04:44 AM @plexus: you forgot you grandson, Praeditus Lifespanius Maximus, in the graph :-)

Order of birth is shown by their order on the chart. Left to right is earliest to latest.
Sir John May 14, 2003, 08:00 AM Here is my suggestion for a family tree. This is quite crude and could ofcourse be improved. This is just an exampel...
Link to pic (http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads4/helenafamily.JPG)
Shaitan May 14, 2003, 08:01 AM Link does not function, John.
Sir John May 14, 2003, 08:04 AM Now it does
Sir John May 15, 2003, 02:01 AM BTW: When commoners or lower gentry marries a noble, will they become nobles as well? Or will they continue to be commoners but theyr children will be nobles? How does this work?
disorganizer May 15, 2003, 02:42 AM the caste level is a family thing. so an example:
family a is common, consiting of person 1,2,3,4 and 5
family b is noble, consisting of person 10,11,12,13
if now person 5 marries person 13, then person 5 will be a noble (not: not the rest of the family, as 5 married into the family of 13).
the children of 5+13 will all be noble
note here:
maybe a good idea to reflect this would be if the "lower" casted character would "adopt" the name of the higher casted one, even if the higher casted one is the woman.
i think this way is wrong though...
we should propably change it:
my proposal: the caste is bound to the family name. on a marriage, the 2 can decide which name they will adpot. depending on which name they take, they will receive the appropriate caste setting for them and their family.
example:
as above, 5+13 marry.
if they both will carry the family name of 5's family, they will be common. if they adpot 13's name, they will be noble.
more specific example for my proposal:
at the moment, the lines of lifespanius and datrus are royal.
if the daughter of helena lifespanius wants to marry the commoner alfonso nobodicus, then they can choose between 3 methods:
1) alfonso may adopt the name of lifespanius, and with that he and his children would be royal.
2) bellona (helenas daughter) could though choose to be namen nobodicus and decline her royalty, on which bellona would become common and her husband and her children also.
3) bellona could also choose to adopt her husbands name and still keep her birthname as second name. this would mean she would be known as bellone lifespanius nobodicus... her children and her husband would then stay nobodicus and thus common, but she would be a royal.
Cyc May 15, 2003, 02:54 AM I don't like the idea, Dis. If we applied that to the Diutius/Helena Marraige, we would both lose our Royalty titles to one of Nobilty. Even though some of the men of the Roman Empire would have done that (I'm guessing at this because you like to stick to historical fact...), real men wouldn't give up their name to lick the boots of Royalty. Besides, I think I've let you claim all there is to claim in our marraige already, you greedy little girl :) .
disorganizer May 15, 2003, 02:57 AM nah, cyc, diutius was given a royal title by atrous anyways ;-)
he IS the prince of gorina... independant of the marriage.
as such the house of lifespanius was "created" by the despot to administrate lifespanicia (i just invented that name :-P).
as such we would both keep our royal title...
the despot always has this possibility
Cyc May 15, 2003, 03:48 AM Ah, so right, Dis. Good point. I guess I would have to keep my name based on some macho, neandertal reasoning. :D
Civanator May 15, 2003, 07:12 PM Padma, can you kindly add Antony and Achilles DePaolo to The House of DePaolo?
Cyc May 16, 2003, 07:54 PM Padma, correct me if I'm wrong, but now that the Despot has passed on, wouldn't Helena and I move up to an Imperial family?
Bootstoots May 16, 2003, 08:46 PM Cornelia and Julius Peesea have been born and may be added to the House of Peesea, and Agrippina died during childbirth.
Cyc May 17, 2003, 01:55 AM OK, Padma. Let's take a stab at the new Family lines...
The Royal Lifespanius Line of Gorina -
King Diutius Lifespanius - Ruler of Gorina
Queen Caia Lifespanius Helena - wife
Prince Praeditus Lifespanius Maximus - son
Pricess Diutia Lifespanius Bellona - daughter
The Royal Lifespanius Line of Noshuret -
Lord Marcus Lifespanius - Senior Centurion
Lady Ribeena Lifespanius - wife of Marcus
Prince Schola Lifespanius - son
Prince Dexterius Lifespanius - son
Children are twins
The Royal Roberts Line of Noshuret -
Lord Walter Roberts - (Deceased)
Lady Mellita Robetrs - Head of Household
Prince Draculus Roberts - son
Briefus and Katra Lifespanius are deceased as well.

Padma May 18, 2003, 11:35 PM Consider the above posting of Noble Houses, etc, to be enacted. This week has really taken its toll on my game-time. :(
I will update the appropriate posts as I have time.
Cyc May 19, 2003, 12:34 AM Thank you Padma.
disorganizer May 19, 2003, 02:22 AM ah, and cyc: your family already was royal as you were declared prince of gorina by atrous ;-)
Cyc May 19, 2003, 02:27 AM @ Dis - I meant to say all those related to me no matter how distant. I wasn't speaking of those in my direct household. But thanks anyway. :)

They wouldn't become Imperials, because we don't have the tech for that yet (Feudalism).
Despot = Emperor. Imperial government had nothing to do with Feudalism.
disorganizer May 19, 2003, 03:35 AM shai: padma has a different interpretation though. we shouldnt even be royal normally, but there was no fitting case-setting for it otherwise :-P
Shaitan May 19, 2003, 05:34 AM Royalty also was well before the concept of Monarchy. The Monarchy technology represents the concept of a formalized relationship of power sharing by the great families of a nation.

I would like to announce that Julius Lifespannius is Diutius's 17th cousin twice removed. ;) Does he get to become royalty now? :p
Cyc May 19, 2003, 07:12 AM Hehehe :D He was removed twice for a reason :lol: j/k

shai: padma has a different interpretation though. we shouldnt even be royal normally, but there was no fitting case-setting for it otherwise :-P Actually, I just haven't differentiated Royal from Imperial yet in this thread. Yet. As I re-read some of the other rulesets, I do see where it does affect lifespan, so I should make it a point to specify. My apologies for any earlier confusion.
The Despot and his immediate family are Imperial. Other Princes/Princesses are considered Royalty.
If we become a Monarchy, the King will be Royalty, as will any other "Petty" or rival Kings. If some character becomes a "High King/King of Kings/Emperor" (i.e., a King holding the fealty of other Kings), then that character and his immediate family will be Imperial.
Padma May 20, 2003, 12:44 PM Peerage and Noble Houses partially updated.
Sir John May 20, 2003, 12:53 PM I have a question. When you put someone in your noble house, do they become nobles??
Shaitan May 20, 2003, 01:13 PM No. Children of nobles will have noble blood but illegitimate children, wards, adoptees, proteges, etc, would not be noble.
Sir John May 20, 2003, 01:13 PM BTW: When you get my house up there just put the Nero House. I was going to have it stand Nerano House since it sounds better for a house but I changed my mind...
Sir John May 20, 2003, 01:57 PM My charc Janus Nero is a Baron. When he dies, will his son inheret the baronship??
Civanator May 20, 2003, 02:17 PM Padma: Can you kindly add Ariadne DePaolo (Deceased, Antony's wife), Allegra DePaolo (Deceased, Achilles wife), Antonio DePaolo (Antony's son), and Achilles DePaolo II (Achilles' son)? Thanx Padma. Also, Antonius and Aurelia are Deceased.

Bootstoots May 20, 2003, 04:33 PM Will you kindly add Julius, Cornelia, Julia, and Fabian to the House of Peesea? Also, Honorius died in the dungeon of Gorina, and the Peesea family is now royal, now that they have ascended to the throne of Nar Shaaddaland.
EDIT: Oops! That's Julius, not Janus.
Stuck_as_a_Mac May 20, 2003, 05:34 PM Please denote that Lauren is dead and Kaite has had Smith and Fortuna. Kaite is also Baroness Countessa Kathrine DiSaaMuel. (the titles will go to Fortuna after her death)
Sir John May 22, 2003, 07:30 AM Are we allowed to be high nobles? Or do have to wait for monarchy?

Kaite is a baroness again.
Also- Lauren is dead. Fortuna and Smith DiSaaMuel were born.
Sir John May 23, 2003, 04:53 PM Alexander Nero requests Royal status for him and his whole family line. He does this because he is the despot of Neronia...
disorganizer May 23, 2003, 05:19 PM ANNOUNCEMENT:
we at this moment announce the marriage between bellona lifespania and caesar jade.
the names of both were changed:
* Flavinius Jadius Lifespanius Caeser (Caeser Jade)
* Diutia Jadius Lifespanius Bellona (Bellona Lifespanius)
Note that both will receive imperial status. The new despot is Caeser.
Note also that the Lifespanian line will stay in Royal status (Helena, Bellonas brother etc.).
Note also that the imperial status will only be given to the direct descendants of Bellona and Caeser.
Note also that the Children will be named after their line. If they belong to the Lifespanian Line (Bellona will define that) they will be called "Jadius Lifespanius", if they belong to the Jadian line they will be called "Jadius".
Stuck_as_a_Mac May 24, 2003, 10:23 AM Kaite is dead, and the title goes to Fortuna. Baroness Contessa Fortuna DiSaaMuel

CivGeneral May 24, 2003, 07:59 PM Despot Caeser Jade
I would like to make Omar Veers and Mara Jade III be placed in the Nobility rank.
Mara Jade III (Jadius Maraus) would get the title of Contessa
Omar Veers (Veerus Omarus) Would get the title of Count
I would like to create a House for the Jade (Jadius) Family.
House of Jade
Mara Jade III (Jadius Maraus III) - Cousin of the Despot Caeser Jade
Omar Veers (Jadius Veerus Omarus) - Husband to Mara Jade III

I would therefore like to start House Strummerus, which so far consists only of Jospehus. Thanks. :)
Civanator Jun 02, 2003, 05:53 PM for future reference:
All the Nero Characters will be at High Nobility at Lord ranking. Julia Peesea will recieve Duchess(Duke) at High Nobility. Anyone related to the Nero's will recieve Marquis and Marquessa. They can accept if they promise not to attack Fanatica.
disorganizer Jun 03, 2003, 03:18 AM all members of the lifespanian family are dead except:
rubinia (daughter of bellona)
she just married neo disaamuel, and as such will be renamed to "Caesaria DiSaaMuel Lifespanius Rubinia"
i dont know the exact status though...
the status should be royal at least...
she is the daughtr of caeser jadius, so it may even be imperial until he dies and another despot is coming...
note to the status:
neo disaamuel keep his caste status
each of the resulting children will be given rubinia's or neo's status on a case by case decission (rubinia's if the child is a lifespanian, neo's if its a disaamuel).
Sir John Jun 03, 2003, 03:36 AM neo? I think stuck is going crazy... :D
disorganizer Jun 03, 2003, 09:52 AM @padma:
note that rubinia died on giving birth to 2 children. my new character, vendetta lifespania, will take controll of all ownings and claims royalty as she is the aunt of rubinia and thus legitimately inheriting the caste and title from her as noone of her direct successors is left in an adultish state.
disorganizer Jun 03, 2003, 05:40 PM @manager:
note that the 2 children rubinia lifespania gave birth to before her death were:
Lucentio DiSaaMuel Lifespanius
Elizabeth DiSaaMuel
As seen from the name, Elizabeth will belong to the DiSaaMuel Family, whereas Lucentio will be officially adopted into the Lifespanian Royal Line.
The 2 only member of that family alife at this moment are Vendetta Lifespanius and Lucentio. Vendetta leads the clan at the moment.
