Look at the Golden Company. A bloodbath every time you need a new leader doesn't exactly facilitate profit.

Re: elections. It would be way too cumbersome to model the votes of all the members of the company, so the PCs should act as opinion leaders, where it is assumed that a proportion of the NPCs will follow their lead on who to vote for. I think we should do this based on Status.

So say there are 10 PCs in the company (all active -- inactive players would be excluded). Three are status 2, three are status 3, and four are status 4. That adds up to 31 "status votes," meaning a single character would need 16 to carry the election. From that point the intrigue rules and regular RP would prevail as normal -- if you convince a PC over to your side through persuasion, bribery, etc., the NPCs who look to him based on his status are deemed to switch their votes accordingly as well. If there is no majority in a vote, a second vote is taken the next day, and then the next, Night's Watch style.

Vhagar: probably a forlorn hope seeing as many of you probably have celebrations but just in case, chatroom open for business Jul 4, 2014 12:36:26 GMT -5

Vhagar: for those who haven't seen it, here's the link for the new game sellswordsofessos.freeforums.net/ but it still needs to be set up if anyone has time to chip in. Nov 3, 2014 14:59:28 GMT -5 *
