Rise and fall of houses

[Kaiser Ikol II]

Erik (as designer of the House system) and Malliki (as local law expert and generally a good person to take advice from) what's the recommended procedure for dealing with Minor Houses that have gotten down to one person or thereabouts? Do I disband them, do I demote them to Very Minor House status and take away their Baron title, or do I leave them be until they can get back up on their feet?

[Malliki Tosha]

Since there is nothing written regarding this, and no precedent, my recommendation is based on my own reasoning. Either disband since we aren't supposed to have one-person Houses, or demote to Commoner House for a period first.

[Erik Mortis]

Demote, remove titles. I don't think they should get a forum either. I would encourage them to find another house to join with. With the loss of title would also come the loss of the lands tied to that title. 1 person isn't a house. They only get their personal lands, and personal title.

[Kaiser Ikol II]

All right.

Tessier-Ashpool, you're on notice. Lady 3Jane hasn't shown any signs of being active in Shireroth (if she even exists) and Ari's gone now, so that leaves you with only one person. I'm giving you a week or two to get a second person (you might want to try recruiting our new immigrant) or I'll have to recommend the House for demotion.

Annexis, you're not quite on notice because you still have both Greg and CJ, but given that Greg is on LoA you're walking a thin line.

[Malliki Tosha]

I bet 50 Erb that Lady 3Jane will miraculously reappear...

[Erik Mortis]

I'll see that wager.

[Icebreaker]

LOL

[Lady 3Jane]

Oh, hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on in a while, summer's been really busy over here!

I just got a message from Ice to come and check in. I didn't know there were laws and stuff saying you had to do stuff to keep your spot!

Can someone show me where it says what the minimum activity level is so I can be active? I can do that, at least!

[Malliki Tosha]

Well, there is no law saying that, but five posts in 1½ months is hardly active.

[Lady 3Jane]

Lol, I know, I said I've been busy!

So the minimum number would be...?

[Malliki Tosha]

There is no minimum number. We can just tell when someone is active or not.

[Lady 3Jane]

WELL WHATEVER, THIS IS GETTING SORT OF DUMB ANYWAY.

[Malliki Tosha]

You mean your totally transparent double login? Yeah, kinda boring.

[Lady 3Jane]

YOU LOVE THE AVATAR THOUGH, ADMIT IT

[Malliki Tosha]

It makes me hard.

[Lady 3Jane]

TO BE HONEST I HAD MEANT TO MAKE IT SO IT LOOKS LIKE SHE'S WEARING A PINK DRESS, THEN AFTER I HAD UPLOADED IT I REALIZED IT JUST LOOKED LIKE SHE WASN'T WEARING ANYTHING. ):

[Malliki Tosha]

You use the feminine pronoun very loosely I notice.

[Erik Mortis]

Still lack of IP matching... But I haven't checked for proxies...
