BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

In the rule Ribbons, change the bulletted list as follows:

* Ribbon of Letters: Have the Estate with the best Furniture.
* Ribbon of the Sword: Have the Estate with the best Romantic Gifts.
* Ribbon of the Bell: Have the Estate with the best Food.
* Ribbon of the Robe: Have the Estate with the best Art
* Ribbon of the Chancery: Have both the highest Prestige and the highest Power.

Remove the sentence “If a Nobleman is the only Nobleman to meet the Requirement of a Ribbon, they may (after removing it from any Nobleman who already holds it) hold that Ribbon” and replace it with “If more than one Nobleman could plausibly lay claim to meeting the Requirement for a Ribbon, then any such Nobleman may Take Umbrage to Assert their Claim.”

Reword the rule Umbrage as follows:

As a daily action, a Nobleman (known as the Claimant) may Take Umbrage by making a story post to the blog titled “Umbrage: *name/s*” where *name/s* is the name of one or more other Noblemen (known as the Disputants).

The post should outline the Claim that the Claimant is making, which must be an actionable change to the gamestate, and why the Disputants are implicated. Such a post is known as a Royal Complaint.

Each Disputant may make one reply to this post defending themselves against these accusations. The Claimant may then make a one further response.

If the Royal Complaint has been up for at least 24 hours, and no comment has been made by the Claimant or any Disputant for at least 24 hours; or if all permissable replies (as detailed in the paragraph above this one) have already been made, the Royal Complaint is said to be Awaiting Judgement

If a Royal Complaint is Awaiting Judgement, Louis XIV may issue a ruling by doing one of the follow and making a comment on the Royal Complaint declaring which option they pick:

* They may side with the Claimant, in which case the Claimant is permitted to enact their Claim, and the Disputants each lose one Prestige;
* They may side with one or all of the Disputants, in which case those Disputants who have been found in favour may enact the Claim and the Claimant loses one Prestige;
* They may decide that the case has No Merit, in which case the Claimant loses 1 Prestige;
* They may decide the case has merit but cannot currently be resolved, in which case nothing happens.

In any case, the Royal Complaint then ceases to be Awaiting Judgement.

A single Nobleman may not be the Claimant on more than one Royal Complaint per week whose Claim involves the award of the same Ribbon.

If a Royal Complaint is Awaiting Judgement for more than one week, it ceases to be Awaiting Judgement and is as if Louis XIV decided both sides have merit.
