Here's my theory on my good friends Addy and Gandy:

Addy and Gandy

Who am I? Be fair guys

[Dirty Chai]

Heh. Possibly this guy?

EDIT: That could also very well be Pink.

[Gandalfus]

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

You are John Cleese's character.

[Dirty Chai]

Hehe, yes.

[Gandalfus]

Oh confound it, that didn't work at all.

[Dirty Chai]

It does if you add that onto a youtube URL

[Trot]

Ditto; we should encourage newbies to pick more capable houses when they come calling; ie, the difficulty bar in CK2

Man I really need to get ck2.

[Bonez]

Anyone have any ideas what rank my characters should be considering the background?

The History of House Fang

House Fang is a fairly new house having risen in 100 AL after saving an influential lord from a hunting accident. This second generation of the house is almost lord less as one pair of twins was born and neither wants to other to rule, while no one can remember that which was older and the father died without a clear will. This has caused an enmity between the two brothers and neither converses with the other but twice a year. One is their birthday when they meet to get so drunk they pass out and wake up remembering nothing, and the other is at their father's keep to make sure their taxes are put together and paid while they fight over who should get the entire area. Their father passed away 2 years ago and so far they both look after about half of his land while fighting over who should control it all. As the tax keeps coming and they do not start all out war on their land the lord paramount hasn't intervened.

I think both would qualify as Bannerman if they split the money.

[Dirty Chai]

Which is not allowed in the rules

[jakev2]

I'm considering joining again as House Royce, but I think their levy needs to be large at least. They are considered the most powerful bannermen of the Arryns.

[Dirty Chai]

Likely nerfed due to gameplay reasons probably, but I think we can fix that....

[Bonez]

Which is not allowed in the rules

Where does it say that? At current I have it set as them with equal rank and splitting all income.

[Dirty Chai]

I have no personal problem with it, I just assumed there was a problem with that similar to how one can't transfer money between characters, even if they're in the same family.

[Bonez]

Oh, well I'm just going to go with it for now. Since the money of one never touches the money of another I'd assume it was fine.

Bonez out.

I have always had a problem with that rule. In lore Twin used the wealth of casterly rock to get Jamie the best weapons and armor available. I always thought if they weren't the same family it should be allowed.

[Pinkerton]

It is in the Lore yes, but sadly it can be exploited

E.G: I make a family with 5 mains (the maximum), but I only roleplay one of them and I use the others just to farm them.
At the end I get one massively rich character, while the others are just to get cash. Which is seriously unfair to the players that only have 1, or 2 chars

I don't think you can transfer funds but I mean a lord should be able to buy there heir armor and a sword. After all they are the only ones getting any real income. I mean last game I was savings up for a set of plus six armor on one of my sworn swords and I didn't get there by the time we did the warp forward and he lost 90% I found his income meaning it will be more weeks before I could get any decent armor or weapons. Meanwhile my lord could of got it in a heart beat. Say what you will but I don't think that's exploiting the game. It is a trade off. Lord buys armor and weapons for heir but doesn't have as much money for say castle upgrades.

[Pinkerton]

Well, actually the only one that should have an income is the Main Lord. The others shouldn't have a damn cent because they have no land to tax

[Trot]

True that might be a way to handle it. Most pepole give there heirs sworn sword income. Although they really shouldn't get anything. On the other hand it is the only way for an heir to get any weapons or armor without breaking that rule.
