How my involvement looksI wish to state that it I did not take part in the deliberation on this subject and that I regret the appearance this all has got through my actions. It was my intention as an involved and informed player in Luthori to provide extra information when I learned of this whole case (had a rather busy weekend so I didnt look). This seems like a divide in the RPC, which I find unfortunate and was not at all my intention. My intention was to keep to my integrity and keep out of it and act and involve myself as a fellow player of this game, not as a member of the RPC. I appologise to all members of the RPC and this community, this doesnt win the beauty contest but I did as I thought was right and had no malice nor ill will in mind.
A compromise to find a suitable solutionTo be transparant, I have proposed the following compromise to all sides involved and even gave it as an option to the RPC to consider:
It is ever my view that Ian Bake has no rights to control the Orange-Villayn-Armsteads. Also I think this whole thing comes from the false belief that he can control the institution of the monarchy rather than the House that sits on the throne. He thinks this based on an old RP law which passed a bit before he became inactive after 250 IG years. He is the creator of the House of Carrington who married the House of Orange-Villayn-Armstead (controlled by Vesica and Lig) to solve an unfortunate OOC conflict from more than a year ago. This union would create a new House, the House of Sewallston. After he left shortly after this marriage and creation, Lig Rp'd that the children of Mary VI OVA would be OVA's not Sewallston. However this would deprive Ian Bake of any characters of the Sewallston line, which I think is as unfair as giving him control over charachters he has had no hand in for over 250+ IG years. Thus I propose a compromise to make it so that the current monarch is from a different OVA line so that the decendents of Mary IV and Edward III are Sewallstons under the control of Ian, but not sit the throne.
My compromise summerizedSo my compromise I propose is this:
- Lig and Vesica remain in control of the House of Orange-Villayn-Armstead and all its members and thus also the current Emperor and his heirs;
- Lig gives full control of the House of Sewallston and all its possible decendents from the line of Mary IV to Ian Bake who gains control of them and keeps any possible members of the House of Carrington (the parent house).
- The RP story and family tree is retconned to make the current Emperor and his family not decendents of Mary IV or any of the Sewallstons/Carringtons but make him a decendent of Mary IV's youngest Uncle Harry. In Luthorian history, Mary IV OVA married Andrew III (character of LuthoriFirst) their son ascended the throne (with LuthoriFirst already long inactive, but thats beside the point) he was assasinated in RP by a republican terrorist.
His son Maximillian VI took the throne. We can retcon that Maximillian VI was not the son of Charles VI but a decendend of Mary IV's youngest uncle. That line had no relations to the Carringtons/Sewallstons.
- The House of Sewallston/Carrington will become prominent senior nobles, we will give them a Grand Duchy, and two duchies (Duke of Carrington, Duke of Sewallston) and a hereditary peerage in the Imperial Senate. Making Ian Bake's noble family one of the most powerfull noble families in the realm. He can allocate those titles as he pleases to his controlled families.
The retcon visualised: Every player who wishes it can get a noble with an important title to get more RP from all involved, not just the fewWe recently passed a bill with all noble titles of regional nobility corrosponding to geograpgical locations, as discussed it is my plan to divide them up fairly between all players, except ofcourse the controller of the Imperial Family (Lig) as he got them and some hereditary titles. This gives everyone an equal involvement in the nobility, with great RP oppertunity even in politics. I hope to work with all of them to get this done, I believe this can bring great new RP to Luthori. Despite us having a well developed monarchial RP we lack strong noble RP and I believe Ian Bake and others can bring great RP to that. I want everyone involved and none left excluded.
I think this is very fair, and I leave it to the RPC to decide.
