“ Though Cantonus was an initial supporter of John I, who came to the throne in 1526 with the demise of the Savoyard dynasty, the Emperor’s closeness to Augustus drove him away from court and into bitter obscurity. ” Cantonus died far before John I (poisoned by his enemies). Perhaps you mistake the support with that of Grand King Uldar Irongut?

His Eminence Josef Franz bestows his vote to the monk, who then scurries to where he has placed the rest. --------------------- From within the council chambers, the hooded monk begins to count the votes, reading them aloud. "Rory of Karlsburg" "William of Metz" "Rory of Karlsburg" "William of Metz" He pauses for a moment having difficulty reading the handwriting of the final vote. With a grunt, he casts all the votes aside and calls for an immediate revote. The Cardinals repeat their votes without question and resubmit their votes. "Rory of Karlsburg" "William of Metz" "Rory of Karlsburg" "William of Metz" ...."William of Metz" The votes are cast into the fires of the second chamber; a High Pontiff named. From outside, white smoke wafts to the heavens from the Cathedral of Metz as spectators rejoice. The hooded monk points to the white smoke, stating clear, "It is done."

[Posting on behalf of Soren] Onfroi raises a folded piece of paper, offering it to the hooded monk who takes it away.

Upon the hallowed grounds of the Cathedral of Metz, the five of the College of Cardinals convene together. A lowly monk, sullen of face, permits them entry but bars their exit. Only he holds the key to the Synod chambers and is expressly forbidden to grant it to any of the Cardinals, who must remain in council until a new High Pontiff is named. "With the death of High Pontiff Adrian I, a new High Pontiff must be named among you. He must attain a majority vote among the Synod, three votes of five. The voting will continue until a Cardinal rises to the bear the golden laurels of Horen; write your vote on a slip of paper and grant it to me, and we shall cycle through until the Creator's hand names one of you Pontiff!" The Cardinals come together, beginning to discuss and debate who should rise to become Vicar of GOD... ______________ ( Please only post if you are Boiendl Soren Eddywilson Jonificus Tirenas [myself])

I would appreciate if this did not occur. 4.0 was a good example of why this doesn't work.

That's certainly a fair concern, but moreso in the domain of the Game Moderation and Administration teams. On the Event Team, our goal is to bring roleplay to the widest array of players and thus it is not exactly beneficial for us to make a 'ranking' system to prevent newer players from having fun. I for one, recently held an event, and found that people were willing to change up how they were emoting in order to better follow the flow of the circumstances.

I think bounties with aforementioned PK warnings are fine. As for the rest, it's mostly been implemented. ET ought to just make sure that they put a lot of thought into the RP and mementos acquired from events, which should sort out your other concerns. The ranking system is pretty unnecessary as it hinders dynamic roleplay; people who go to bounties unprepared will not succeed.

I believe that, provided there is consistency, coups are a basis of dynamic RP and important to be held as an available option. To suggest that the only forceful method of acquiring a region from a primary region-owner is through a war-claim is odd. Coups are meant to be a test of the primary region owner's available national manpower and of his/her right to rule, though I do recognize that this isn't always clear cut.
