I don't have an issue with there only being ten minutes a day of stuff 
to do.  The issue is that the ten minutes of stuff is, for my simple 
knights, almost all 10 minutes of boring stuff.  I would like ten 
minutes of interesting stuff to do.

Another way to look at it is this: the options are good options if, 
while I am away from the computer, they give me something that I can 
plan/think-about.  A General can plan strategies.  A Marshal can plan 
tactics.  A Ruler can consider diplomatic options.  A Lord can decide 
how much to tax people, and what to do with the money.  A Knight can...

There are a few ways to end that sentence that people have suggested 
(thanks for the ideas, those that have).  The problem with many of them 
is that they are very underhand types of things - spying, lying, 
generally causing trouble.  Which is not something that a nice-mannered 
noble would do.  Do we all have to play conniving nasty people just to 
make things interesting?

The other frequently suggested one is to change realms.  But it's hard 
to know where is better - and as a newbie, not only is it harder to do 
this, but you're unlikely even to be aware of the vastly different 
experiences you might find in other realms.  And each change puts you 
back at square one of networking and getting to know your realm.
