[Discuss] Dwilight

Here is one thing I am contemplating about Dwilight:

I would really, really like to have at least _one_ BattleMaster world 
that is strictly hardcore proper roleplaying. FEI failed in that regard, 
we can discuss at length why, but it did.

I am seriously thinking about putting a very visible boiler plate on 
Dwilight to say that it is meant as a serious simulation of a medieval 
world.

Funny name? Badger/Doughnout/whatever inappropriate roleplaying? 
Powergaming with disregards for hierarchy, honour, etc? Any of those and 
I'll deport your character from Dwilight to some random other island.


I would be especially very harsh on the rulers. And I mean _very_ harsh. 
Any strategic secessions or other powergaming, any "I declared this war 
to appease the peasants, don't fear I'll never attack", or even not 
being upset about being called by your first name by a commoner will get 
you booted if you're a ruler.

Very hardcore from the beginning, so that after a while there is a core 
of players on the island who share this interest in playing a medieval 
roleplaying game, and who will watch out for themselves and kick out any 
disturbers.



Is it worth the try?
