Not really. That's a regular citizen group, not part of the RPG. If a Fanatikan Knight wants to, they can also be a Knight of the Realm by getting the title in the RPG.

Well, i am a rpg member and a knight. And i insist on having that title here without a pay as a birthright and my natural right as member of the order.
But i see we could also distinguish between "baught titles" and "inherited titles".
The Order-Knights would be the "real" knights also in the rpg, and the baught titles would be a kind of snobby elite which wants to produce themselves but have no real heritage going with the title.
Also, the baught titles should not be granted arms.
And also, the president can decide with a majority of the senate and the executive to give any citizen a title.

I'm all for the pres and senate combining to bestow titles for players with the required holdings.
I'm right against denigrating titles acquired in the RPG. The "money" paid for titles is an investment and can represent family actions in the past, family history, what have you. It's a role playing decision how the player wants to write that history.
I would accept allowing current knights in whatever orders in the Citizen groups to get a free RPG knighthood. Future knights would have to pay for a knighthood in the RPG to prevent people joining those groups just to get a freebie knighthood.

So we came to a conclusion almost...
I want 50% of the income from giving away the knight-title to be given to the order. If the titles are given away by a rpg-business, i want all of that income to go to the account of the order.

Businesses can't give away a title.
If a player wants to be knighted in an order then I see no problem with those funds going to the order they are joining. If a player simply wants to be a knight of the realm then no order is entitled to those funds.

Why not? Otherwise they puff away in the nowhere of the rpg-shops ;-)
My way, the group will be able to earn money and will surely spend it in palaces and fortifications. The group will of course not be able to give it to the members.
Remember that the more money we leave in rpg-shops (and not in businesses or with other persons), the less money we have circulating which is bad for the economy.

Monies spent for titles will be redistributed to all of the RPG players and represent alms and favors, gifts, bribes, what-have-you.
(Already thought of keeping the cash in the economy

Can a knight also sell his title to someone else?
Another idea:
Why dont we let the bank run with its own account?
* A fixed amount of money is put into the economy
* All RPG-Shop income and the "taxes" and other fees go to the bank account
* All loans are taken from the bank account
* The bank pays interest for the money people have on their account
* The bank can use this money and its own account to give loans
* Interest rates for loans are also put to the bank
If the RPG Management decides to put more money to the economy, it is equally distributed to all citizens on their account. Also every group and the bank account as well as business accounts receive their part of it.
The sum of all accounts including businesses and bank will be fixed to a specific amount. Doing this, the bank can check wrong bookings if this sum does not match.

It's a lot more bookkeeping for little to no return. We can already measure the economy by summing the account summaries.
The idea of monitoring it and keeping a certain level of funds in play is an attractive idea though...

Maybe we could sum the "active money" and the rpg management sets a limit to it (low-mark and high-mark).
If the low-mark is crossed, the management throws out money equally to all citizens in a special event (like goldrush, giving shares for public shop away etc.).
If the high-mark is reached, the management decides on an event devaluating the money, like "back friday". People will equally loose gold then until the amount goes under the high-mark again.
Of course, it would be up to the RPG-Mgmt to decide when exactly to react. It need not be directly at the mark-crossing (maybe they wait a bit for the economy to settle).
Another thing for the mgmt could be to buy out shops before they become bancrupt if they are important. The mgmt could then decide to sell shares to get the money-sum down.
