Contesting

[mhale@tpgi.com.au (mhale]

Another question that I'm sure has come up in the past :

When a regent contests another regents holding (for the second time) does
all levels of the contested regents holding become uncontrolled ? Or does
it proceed one level at a time ?

For e.g. In a province rated 5/2 Guildmaster A has 3 levels and Guildmaster
B has 2 levels of Guild Holdings. On has first action Guildmaster A
successfully contests Guildmaster B's holding. (This however only means
that the holding in question cannot generate income or regency for the
regent) However on Guildmaster A's second action he contests successfully
again on Guildmaster B's holding. Does Guildmaster B's holding drop from 2
to 1 or does he loose control of both levels ? (In fact is his holding
destroyed completely?)

hmmm? Look forward to your answers.

Yep, it did. It's no problem to ask again, though.

It seems to me the consensus was that all holdings would fall, not just
lowered by one. It could seem strange that a holding (1) could bring down
the entire holding (7), for example, but one of us remarked that since the
difference between the two holdings is a modifier on the d20 roll, that
would be a feat worth that result.

Good Question.

Personaly I think It's destroyed.

The reason for this is that when first contested you can say that the
other holding ither takes all of the profits/clients/power ( same type of
holding ) or in case of a difrent holding contesting( like a priest, law or
wizard holding ) then these use there influence to totaly crush the holding by
any means posible( religious, military, magic( curse ) ).

On the second contests the holding in question is bearly holding
together and when contested the other holding goes and finds all of the
contested holdings "employes" and ither kills them or the "employes" flee.
Then the contester goes about systematical "destruction" of all
buildings/conections belonging to the now crushed Holding. The effect of a King
trying to stop this prosess can be shown by using RP against the contestion,
otherwise it can be assumed that the encounters with the law are included in the
Contestion.

That's how I picture it anyway.
