Shireroth

Call them Thanes. or Earls. Possibly Marquis. Blindness Is A Blessing

Thanes indeed It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.-Andrew Jackson

I like Thane. It suggests leadership rather than direct rule, and we've used it here before.I would be glad to mentor any new citizens from my timezone, or something not very far off it.. Wil Nider to the HyperboreansEoin to the restZirandorthel to the ages

Actually, we've used marquise before as well. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Here is what will probably be decreed in a day or two unless someone has a better idea or a good objection.I will be seeking commoner volunteers who have free time, a good knowledge of Shireroth, and instant messaging programs, and pairing them up with two or three of our new citizens each.It will be their job to keep the new citizens' attention, help them adjust to Shirerithian life, and generally make sure things turn out okay for each of them. While they are doing this, they will get a non-noble title still within the feudal ladder of some sort, similar to how Count works right now. Suggestions on the name?If, by the end of my reign, they have kept their new citizens here, then as part of the decrees I will be making upon abdication I will promote the group to a Barony with the current commoner as Baron. I need comments, suggestions, objections, a name for the rank I'll be giving out, and, most importantly, commoner volunteers for the project. Edited by: Kaiser Los III at: 9/5/05 16:38

I'm not a commoner, but if your running short i'll volunteer There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

please dont use marqueeit's bad enough having counts below barons, but the second highest rank (marquee) being below the second lowest (baron)? please no.

Good point that Beckford, Shireroth's feudal system is suspect enough.. Wil Nider to the HyperboreansEoin to the restZirandorthel to the ages

Fuedal systems don't HAVE to be an exact simulation......... There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Knight Errant? Sounds like a cool name to me, although it's probably totally wrong in this context. They call it a signature, but no one ever signs their posts...

Quote: Fuedal systems don't HAVE to be an exact simulation.........no, but atleast dont be dumb with the names

how should we do it then, without being dumb with the names? There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Bill, that just hurts....BUT, if you want to impress me, upload an image of what you just typed out, in normal mathematical notaion. *throws grenade for the hell of it*BO0O0O0O0/\/\!!!!!!

Does newbie count as a variable or a multiple there?It is integration by parts, yes? Wil Nider to the HyperboreansEoin to the restZirandorthel to the ages

neither; newbie is a function of shireroth. You would need to know the actual function to integrate it.

So if Shireroth is (x), newbie is (3x + 5), or something? Wil Nider to the HyperboreansEoin to the restZirandorthel to the ages

Shireroth is the variable, and "newbie" is a function on that variable. Sort of like N(s), if you insist on 1-letter variables and functions. *throws grenade for the hell of it*BO0O0O0O0/\/\!!!!!!
