[Shaitan]

Donovan, I welcome you as a Squire of Vanir. By the morrow you will have a fine steed and the armaments required for service as a fighting man of Vanir.

 

[Donovan Zoi]

Thank you, Shaitan. I will work my hardest to ensure that you don't regret your decision. If I may, I would like to keep the horse I came with. Intrepid and I have come all the way from the Gem Mountains to join this great land and I would hate to part with him. Upon his back, I will always be one of the first to the fight. I will leave it to the Academy to show me what to do once I get there. Oh, and of course, here is the 200g for this opportunity.

 

[Shaitan]

Ah, no, Donovan. Wrong on two points. Although you may surely keep Intrepid, you need a fitting warhorse to train to be a knight. And the investiture for your equerryship is paid by your sponsor (Vanir).

A private missive will be sent giving you the details of your position.

 

[gunning1]

I would like to become a squire until I get enough money to buy a larger house and more tiles.

 

[Shaitan]

gunning1 - Do you wish to sponsor yourself or take service as a Squire of Vanir? We have one position still open.

 

[gunning1]

What would you do at Vanir?

I am sponsoring gunning1 to squiredom as a Squire of Vanir. 200g investiture paid by me.

 

[Padma]

I was going to role-play this, as it would be more fun, and get the money out to the other citizens directly, but time issues have prevented me, so I will simply purchase the investitures with straight cash.

Investiture as Count of Mara: 600g
Investiture as Duke of Omalu: 800g
-----------------------------------
.......................Total: 1400g

I will, of course, retain my title as Earl for my duration as Culture Leader.

 

[Shaitan]

Congratulations on your new titles, Padma. Welcome to the ranks of people with really, really long signatures.

 

[Plexus]

King Shaitan, I am here to claim my new title as Deputy Governor of Bohemia. I will now be known as Sir Plexus; Baron of Zimt; Knight of Strandberg; Hawk of Cinnamon.

I pledge my full allegiance to you, my leige.

 

[disorganizer]

please take my baron title away (im no ambassador any more)
also, please change my knights title to "knight of lancre"

 

[Shaitan]

@Plexus & disorganizer - Got 'em.

 

[gunning1]

I am now deputy for 2 positions, so what do I get?

 

[FionnMcCumhall]

ok titles hmm so if im domestic deputy and a governor what the heck am i

 

[Shaitan]

@gunning1 - You may be either a Count or a Baron.

FionnMcCumhall - You are either a Duke or an Earl.

 

[Octavian X]

Shaitan, could you please update that second post to say 'Octavian X, Duke of Doughnutia, Baron of St. Mark's Point?' You should also probably update it to show your kingship...

One more thing: Why can't VPs be princes? I'm next in line should the king be 'killed.' Generally, the person next in the line of sucession is a prince. For example, the sucessor to the British throne is the Prince of Wales.

 

[Shaitan]

@Octavian - The changes are made. Thanks for reminding me of my Kingship.

I think that's a fine idea for the VP. Send it around to BCLG100 and donsig. If all 3 of you agree we can change that rule.

 

[disorganizer]

@all:
please nobles participate at the tournament:

@shaitan:
shouldnt prices and kings be listed under "royalty" rather than "nobelty"?

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

Hey Shai, any more room for a squire of vanir?

If so i would like to become Gonzo, Squire of Vanir.

Born of a secret past of great rulers, I am starting from nothing to relive the glory of my ancestors. One day the name Gonzo shall be etched into every wall, kids will one day hear stories of my fury and cringe at the thought of such power.

You wan't that on your side don't ya!?!?!?!
