[King Henry VIII.]

So, because this forum, the people and the seperate storylines are at some point confusing for me; I would prefer more lists. So I know, when I need info, or anyone else can just look at that thread/list and see whatevr he wants to know instead of searchig through the conversations and thread to get the info.

Like a thread for "Titles" Where everyone is listed, and his title if he/she has one; and since when he holds it, maybe why he got it?

Then "Household of the King" and "Household of the Queen" where every position is listed and who of the forum owns that position.

[Of course the lists are always updated if someone receives a new title or position. This will also combine all the seperate storylines at the board to ONE big storyline, making the board itself more like a court itself.]

then a thread with all the Relationships currently going on here on the board. Meaning everyone is listed and his partner/love interest/wife/husband/child whatever.

also a family list, who is related to who and how.

I know these are many lists and can be quite work, but of course I would help and create some lists of my own like the ones with the titles and positions, I just don't know where?

What do you guys think?

[Jane Seymour]

Yeah, we definitely need something like that. Maybe we need a "so far..." type of thread. And, each member could give a brief summary of what happened to their character so far. Because some people are taking liberty to bend the historical facts, it would be easier to see what people have done with their characters and such.

[King Henry VIII.]

errr that is not exactly what I meant! But if you are searching for that particular thread, it already exists! It is here tudorssaga.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=previouslyon

[Jane Seymour]

Oh. lol. sorry. Yeah, that definitely helped. Thanks

[King Henry VIII.]

No need to apologize!

I really like that idea, so far we have a forum dedicated to what acts were introduced and at what time they were passed, so what you're saying is you'd like something where all the titles of the courtiers and other such people are listed, as well as somewhere we can list the relationships here (family and relationships could probably be tied into the same forum), right?

It won't be such a tough job if everyone contributes to it, for example i would of course add all of my character's titles, Wyatt's ones are of no trouble, he didn't have so many titles as he had tasks given to him by the King, so that's fine. Mark's ones are a bit sketchy, i know he held the position of a groom of the privy chamber, at least i think (you, of course, can correct me on that, your majesty ), his others were as a musician and music tutor to the Princess Elizabeth. My other two characters (the two Mary Tudors) have either already occupied positions, currently are, or will in the very distant future (Princess of England x2, Queen of France, Duchess of Suffolk and Queen of England).

[Thomas Cromwell]

It's a good idea and if you want you can start that project... For some character's exists already such "career-list" for example Cromwell. But ya, it would be good if we would have all in one... But it would take a while, because there are a lot of characters with positions and so on... So, a bit patience would be great.
Maybe we could make a collective thread where every member has to write his character's position/family/and so on and then we can make an thread with all informations.

The best place for this thread would be "About your character" or so... Later we can open an extra section for this overview.

P.S. Why is Reggie always faster than me?

[Mary 'Rose' Tudor]

Ya, i know i've listed Thomas' on his profile alright, currently he's esquire of the royal body (which is a position held by a prospective knight, before, of course, he's knighted), he's also commissioner of the peace in Essex, and should be under the patronage of Thomas Cromwell at the moment too. I've also listed the relationships such as his father, mother, sisters, wife, son, as well as the children he will have in the future, but it would be better to have all that information in the one place alright, i agree. And i agree with Nad as well, we could start those in the About Your Character section, open a thread for the timebeing and see who contributes, and then compile them all together

P.S: Only faster because i posted on the wrong account

[King Henry VIII.]

yes yes yes, you got what I was talking about! It's just, I as the King, need an overview, I need to know who has which title and who I can give titles to because he has none and who is in my household and holds what position and so on. That was my thought behind it; because often the king addresses his subjects by their titles and positions, barely to never by name. and that would be kind of embarrassing stumbling something.."eh...you...you ehm with the dark hair and chain, yeah you!" because I dont know the title x'D

But only the CURRENT title/s are necessary! Not the past ones and not the future ones, I think we can update that list everytime someone receives a new title from moi

Maybe Create a new [whats it called? forum?] Below "Acts and Laws" like..."Positions and Titles" Where we post threads as "The Queens Household" "The Kings Household" "The Princess Household" "The Titles" (of everyone) etc. ?? Is that a good idea?

Yeah the family and relationship thread I would post at "Your Character's story" ?

[Thomas Cromwell]

Alright, I agree with both, Your Majesty...

[Mary 'Rose' Tudor]

Brilliant idea your majesty, but surely it might be a good idea to list the titles that our characters should be getting quite soon as well, so you know to give them out, rather than receiving several messages to notify you of 'oh, Wyatt should be made a knight quite soon, and don't forget, Cromwell needs to be titled the Earl of Essex as well', so we could have a list of what titles/ offices they're currently holding, and the next one they should receive, and when they should receive it? I can understand quite well you need to know that stuff, hence the reason i added a timeline to Wyatt's profile when i registered as him.

[King Henry VIII.]

An admin has to create that forum and yes, good idea! We should add the future titles too, looking up everything [of so many characters that are on here...can be difficult xD] I just want to know my courtiers and all about them

[King Henry VIII.]

Shall we post the title... blah thread in "about your character" as well, as the family thing is now? It would be easier I think

[Thomas Cromwell]

Ya, at first we should post the titles there too, later we can make an extra section like "Acts and Laws"

[King Henry VIII.]

Yes! Agreed!

PS. Yes, Mark is my Groom of the Privy Chamber. He was made Groom this year, 1532. And also from thereforth received £20 a year and two horses for his own use.
