Then you are putting a cloud over every General in the game, making them 
fear that anything they say--*ANYTHING*--if it's not just to their 
Marshals, could get them deleted.

You are condemning them to only being able to play part of the game, by 
preventing them from taking part in any realmwide discussions, or 
duchywide discussions, or any discussions that aren't purely with their 
Marshals, because if you won't give us *anything* more than you have 
done, then anything they say could be interpreted by you as an attempt 
to circumvent the system, even if that was in no way their intent.

I understand your severe aversion to giving straight answers, but in 
this case it goes too far.  It takes away fun for many, many people for 
fear of giving some *hypothetical* rules-lawyering powergamer the 
ammunition to say, "But you said--".

And so what if that hypothetical powergamer does say that?  Your word is 
not a legal document, and your judgment is not that of a court of law. 
You are the absolute ruler of BattleMaster.  You *can* give the majority 
of the playerbase guidance, while still punishing those who try to 
circumvent the spirit of the rules while following the letter.
