Shaitan- your grandfather clauses confuse me. Am I a count by default?

The grandfather clause is only for knighthood. It applies to players who had joined the knightly orders (citizen groups like the Jedi, Fanatikan Hawks, Fanatikan Order) before we started the titles system.

then what is it about deputies and departments heads as barrons?

Officials are given a title for the duration of their office. After retiring they get a permanent title one step lower.

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

Okay, then. Im constantly bank head. Does this mean anything?

Hmm... Shaitan, when did you change the VP's title? I again am Duke Octavian X of St. Mark's Point, Earl of the Mount Doughnut (-2,-2)!

That also means I earn 5g more a chat...

 

[Shaitan]

@SAAM - Yes, that is why you are a Duke at large.

@Octavian X - You became the Baron of St. Mark's Point when you retired from the Judiciary. You'll need a different aspect for your appointed ducal title from the VP office. There is no additional income for this ducal title as you are drawing VP salary. You do still draw as a baron as that is now a permanent title.

Shaitan,

I want to be sure I'm clear on this.

I am currently an Earl, due to my position as Culture Leader. When I retire (or am kicked out by election ) I will be Baron of Kultis.

In addition, I have recently purchased the "County of Mara". (Tile 0/-3)

In order to include Count of Mara in my titles, do I need to simply pay for the investiture, or is there something further necessary?

 

[Shaitan]

@Padma - The other requirement for Count is a Mansion or better. Your new castle more than qualifies. You can pay the investiture straight out or find a personal way to get that spread out to the populous via role playing. For example, I paid most of my investiture for Earl by having the Great Hunt. I'm now footing the bill for the Grand Tourney and will use that for another investiture.

 

[Shaitan]

I am claiming additional titles that reflect my family's growth and placement in Fanatikan society.

Titles Claimed:

Prince of Vanir
Duke of The Sands
Count of Lankrensee

Investiture Total: 2400g

Investiture from The Grand Tourney: 2437.5g

Beverages: 675g
Food: 562.5g
Purses: 1200g

Investiture Due: 0

 

[Octavian X]

How long before he proclaims himself ?

 

[Grandmaster]

Yeah, Shaitan, at what point do you raise an army and overthrow the government? You only have a few steps to go before being a king, I think.....

 

[Plexus]

lol, two land tiles away...

 

[Grandmaster]

Can they PI you for attempting to launch a revolution?

 

[Plexus]

hmmm... not sure...

 

[Shaitan]

Who? Me?

 

[Shaitan]

I am paying a 200g investiture to make naervod a Squire of Vanir.

 

[jdd2007]

hes gathering his army already!

 

[Shaitan]

I could use another squire or two jdd2007...

You want to be on the winning team, don't you?

 

[Eklektikos]

I think I'd better make another of my rare forays into RPG-land and lay claim to my crown, just in case Shaitan is finding its presence on his shelf a bit too tempting

I hereby proclaim myself King Eklektikos of all Fanatika

Just to be safe, you understand...

 

[Shaitan]

Drat!

Ah well. Welcome to the Peerage, Eklektikos.
