Some ideas...
Some ideas...
So, people. I am thinking about what to do about Brookshire. I have a couple of ideas.
1. Abolish the baronies. The Duchy will only be organised into counties and no person shall hold more than one county. Baronies may be created on a case-by-case basis.
2. Abolish the Kehl. The council isn't used anyway, so why not? I can rule by decree only.
3. Rename the duchy. I'm tired of the name "Brookshire". Any good ideas?
4. Institute a duchy tax. All accounts in the duchy shall be taxed once a week. The revenue will go to a specific duchy account to be used at the discretion of the Duke.
5. I'm also thinking about moving the capital to Mortis Mercatoria.
So, what do you think?

Re: Some ideas...
I suggest New Feudalism.

:: Formerly just "benkern"
:: Rook Sentry of the Order of the Vorpal Blade
:: Count of Mar Sara IIRC
:: Former Baron of Absentia AFAIK, before that Baron of Vorpmadal TBH; also Former Duke of Yardistan IMHO
:: Dux Emeritus of the Order of Mischievous Intent
It takes moo to mango!

Not at all. But some of those things may be instituted.

I outright object to 1 3 and 5.... well.. outright object to 1. 3 and 5 could be negotiated, though I'm not keen.

Re: Some ideas...
It would be nice to kill off the last few Warcraft names here. I know I objected to Elwynn becoming Froyalan, but that's because it was done foolishly and hastily. I suggest something that preserves the name without the obvious plagiarism: for example, changing the spelling to Elwinn or Elluin (pronounced the same). We could change Khaz Modan to Chas Moedan or something, and no one would ever know.
The only problem is Brookshire. Brookshire is Brookshire. No crafty respellings possible there. It would be up to the Brookshirerithians to decide what they wanted to do with that.

Re: Some ideas...
I've often considered changing it to Berkshire...(I've seen it in RL... I think it's a stree in Vallejo...)

Re: Some ideas...
Berkshire would be weird...because it's a place in England...and also a place in Massachussetts...where WarVoid lives. Also, Berkshire Hathaway is Warren Buffett's investing company.

Re: Some ideas...
Yes.. but it sounds close to Brookshire, and the fact it has RL usage make it not seem as much as a WarCraft cop-out.

Re: Some ideas...
In my opinion, we should keep Brookshire. It's a lot more generic than 'Elwynn' and 'Khaz Modan' which might do well with a bit of tweaking.
I just searched Brookshire on Google, and got this, among other results. If it's OK for the Texans to plagiarize Warcraft, I'm sure it's fine for us.

Re: Some ideas...
What about Hillshire, or Woodshire, or Rivershire, or Rivenshire?
The Hyperboreans call this whole area Rainorikoth (land of Raynor). Maybe something historical along those lines?
Or ERIKSHIRE! Might as well make it official!

Re: Some ideas...
Also, Raynor is stolen from Starcraft. Jim Raynor was an awesome character in it...
