Okay so real quick do you guys actually want a formal system of couping back in LOTC for Atlas and if so, what changes do you think we ought to make to them? The previous version of coup rules created by me and Nazdus can be found here;

 

 

Leave feedback, thoughts, discussion etc. and make sure to +1 or next Your View will be on RP default.

I plus +1 so don't go bringing that rp default in here. My issue with coups though is they get into a massive **** all thing and end with people hating gms for bias. I don't know how to impliment this idea but could you perchance find a way to remove this variable? Perchance two gms have to watch the coup one that each side would believe is "bias" towards them not against them. Ex. A coup in the dwarves being over viewed by a gm that works often with one side of the coup and another gm that works closely with the other party so neither side can claim that bias stuff

How would this work for communities without any GMs like the halflings or Kha?

Or we could just have them happen in roleplay? Ie, if a large group within the nation splinters and kills the nation leader one night that should be a coup no?

I don't see there any way of doing this without being extremely annoying and extremely badly implemented.

 

Don't bother

Coups should only require 1 region owner, and coups on Freebuild settlements should be slightly difference, depending on the occupation of the build.

Coups should require RP, not a region owner. IE, if X noble from X kingdom in Renatus decided to assassinate or imprison the entire hierarchy then that should be a coup and should be able to be done regardless of them having OOC ownership of the tile/region. Let's stop implementing OOC barriers that **** on roleplay and prevent people from getting anything done. 

 

Edit:

 

Region ownsership being required also means that PRO's can simply remove every region owner from a region and then no one can coup. Additionally, if they were required to have a region owner they could have a trusted OOC friend take that position and no Coup would be possible even if there were a legit RP reason for it. This typically leads to region sniping, snakery and other nonsense like that time in Vailor where Vege got region sniped by Diblius and Draeries.

I believe that a group can only coup if they have a RO supporting them.

 

I think that as long as the PRO is online and in the city, the coup can go through. None of this “all the RO’s need to be on” stuff.

An old version of coup rules allowed you to coup a region/nation if you were either an RO or a Significant Government figure, Commander of the Armed Forces, a high up Noble, etc.

Moved to The Great Library. It shall be sorted into the appropriate category shortly.

 

If you feel this is a mistake, please contact myself or any FM and we'll restore it.
