New dynamic to game???

So folks... lets open up, talk about this, and remember let's be open minded and all of this is friendly.

All jokes aside... Tristan brought up some nice ideas for James to play with.  IG bonuses to factions.  I'm sure the WoW players that we have can attest to the boring action of rep grinding for faction hits.  Here, a person can get faction by RPing it and not killing/turning in loot drops.

Some people have seen the different lands now sporting colors for their vassals to wear, which is a nice costuming flavor and addition.  Helps the game and players look better, I think.

I'd like to compliment the members of Kaledonia.  After a leadership change, member recruitment for them is up and I see they are getting together more and doing more.  That is something that drives players to feel more like part of a group.

I've learned more about Travance and Alisandria after joining the land and now actually picked up some cool IG history.  So... anyone else have ideas or wanna share something positive so far they liked about the new lands and vassalships?

The evolution has been coming/developing for a few years.  I do not believe there is a need for any IG rewards to be offered.  All that will be served is an artificial creation which imo, is best left to RP.  If province X continues to do better in battles, it will attract better vassals, which is reward enough,as if stronger folk live in a province, it will be safer at night.  Reward enough, I believe.

When I chose Kaladonia in which to settle (and never considered being a vassal) I did so purely due to the physical layout - Edwin likes woodsy areas and minimal industry.  The idea of sustained forestry and related eco-business was appealing.  Now, a victim of my own success, I must live in the proper.  But my heart...

When I started in '04, I was informed that if you had fifteen people declare in game they are following a new god, after a certain time and active worship, it became a real god.

There technically was never a codified way of getting a "new" god into the KR world but yes it definitely happened a time or two in the past.. At this time the only possible way to get a new god placed into the game is directly through JamesCKimball, and even then I don't think he's taking any new lower list rules into consideration at the moment.

IG politics started roughly, ummmm, about 12years ago.

PS when James gets the bug for a new god, I call dibs. Ramular is mine!

Ramular is terribad. 

  is such a better potential IG god, IMO.

There was actually a small effort by some of the STs to introduce the concept of "demigods" that you could worship but that didn't grant prayers. It didn't get terribly far, unfortunately.
