HOW DOES ONE BECOME A DISTRICT LEADER (D.L.)?IN CHARACTER: This is not so easy, as the District Leaders don't often meet together, and it can be a congested process. There are a few ways to go about it, the easiest being to contact the City Ward, as it is a fixed neutral headquarters, but this is a very bureaucratic solution (though the most correct) and might not appeal to all. Another method is to gather support from the District Leaders independantly, and to gather their support. This is more useful for those who already have a strong contact with a D.L. or are better at networking. The last method, and the most hostile, is simply to claim a section of the city and then grow from there. Keep in mind that other District Leaders as well as the City Ward might take exception to this and interfere with your plans. The levels of hostility vary depending on whether your character uses an unclaimed or claimed territory to make their stand.
OUT OF CHARACTER: If claiming territory without going through a 'process', send a PM to Satyr and Existentially Odd, letting them know which character is going to make a move (and how they go about it - doesn't have to be detailed), and the boards will reflect the defined area.
WHAT HAPPENS WITH MY DOMICILE?IN CHARACTER: If your character resides in neutral territory, they fall under
Ward Law. If your character resides in claimed territory, then they are automatically constituents of that District Leader. It doesn't matter if the D.L. is of a different species, they are still your ruler. Those who dislike this outcome are welcome to move. If your character owns two or more properties, then wherever they are living becomes their recognised district.
OUT OF CHARACTER: If your character moves and you don't want to go through the 'process', post a request for a new forum and its location in Domicile Requests.
