[Discuss] "roleplaying island"

[Jonathon Taylor]

We don't need to "bribe" some one that's not existent in terms of game
mechanics any more to get the Lordship of a region, all we need to do is
bribe a Duke to get us the region or simply go through with the bribe with
in character diplomacy, rather than the accumulated gathering of gold which
has taken months by our family to vanish into thin air into some one that
doesn't exist and can't be disputed unless something random decides it
shouldn't work.

"Duke, give me the title of the region of [Blah], if you do, I swear, by
this 100 gold pieces I am sending to you now, that I will send you 80% of my
regions share for 2 or more weeks to the Duchy."

Why does Family fortune have to even come into it? The new tax system and
hierarchy system should replace the old "Buy Title" or the possible new "Buy
Claim" feature entirely, at least with the above, perfectly in character,
non-power gaming methods of buying a title it's in the hands of the games
community that the title can be reputed, refused or accepted perfecly.

Just remove the option, the new tax system can be used as a bribe, black
mail or as a bluff perfectly.
