Proposal: Making Disownment Matter

Timed out 2 votes to 3. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 18 Dec 2023 09:58:54 UTC

In “Claims” after

An Heir whose name is on the Disown list for a Claim is never considered to meet that Claim’s conditions

add

nor are they considered to be an heir for any other heir satisfying the conditions of that Claim

 

Right now, even if we successfully disown someone from a claim, other people won’t be able to claim that claim. Which seems wrong to me.

against Seems fine to me for the Disowned Heir to be remembered enough that their replacement still has to actually outscore them - the Disowned Heir is just blocked from taking the Claim. If you want to knock someone out of the running, you can Assassinate them.

against per Kevan and I think this wouldn’t even make e.g. the second-eldest heir to get the Eldest Claim if the disowned heir still has the single highest age

@DesertFrog they disowned isn’t an heir so they would have the highest

Oh I read it as “nor are they considered for any other heir to be an heir satisfying the conditions of that Claim”

But if they’re not an heir it would surely break something

only for the conditions of satisfying the claim. Meaning they don’t count the “have the highest Age among all Heirs.” but still count for all other Heirs
