Personally I'd love to have made a big scene about it, when recently it 
happened in Giblot. Though as I knew OOC character that he was leaving, 
I did not. Instead I have gone only yelling at people who call me a 
TL/Troop Leader and not a noble.

Anyway when I first joined, I thought the stripping of ones nobility 
could be done upon anyone. And would change to a freeman or something, 
and not just noble. And in the process be like this Exile Option that 
was mention awhile ago.
