Why is it out of the question IC?  If they bought one title what makes 
you think they are even a noble?  Purpose they got that title through 
ill-gotten means as well.  Perhaps they really are a pig farmer.  Why 
would it be a shady deal if you buy it and then everything is ok?  It is 
supposed to be a shady deal.  And he would have been treated better had 
he actually said something, he had no role play foundation 
what-so-ever.  I respect very much a good role play.  Anyone on FEI that 
has ever caught my infiltrator doing an act knows I always try to role 
play my way out of it.  It's never worked (almost did once except for 
Conan grrr).  Mainly because people ignore it but that I've talked about 
many different times.  I liked very much when One claimed that he and CE 
had planned a strategic succession.  If he had come up with something 
like that when he was still in the realm he would probably still be the 
count of Hidale.  But if you give me nothing then your story should be 
very easy to break.  As I've said in the realm probably 2-3 times now 
and I think once on here, I'm going to give you back what you gave me.  
In fact, I gave One back A LOT more then he gave me.
