And why include the notice about the new advy starting in the first place? It 
would be a possible embarassment to your family that there is a commoner 
running around claiming to be part of your noble bloodline.

I think it's a good idea to include stuff like that in a family history. Just like my 
suggestion to include a notice about your advy being killed by a champion. As it 
is, my family history shows nothing to distinguish between my advy who got 
killed by a champion, and someone else's advy who got deleted because the 
player got bored with them.

You see? It's like I've always said: You can get more with a kind
word and a two-by-four than you can with just a kind word.
