Okay, here is how it was explained to me that it should work...
Family A is the first to reach 200k (cap) - takes MHF.
Family B reaches 200k - nothing happens.
Family A loses honour for any reason - family B takes MHF.
Family C reaches 200k - nothing happens.
Family B loses honour for any reason - Family A and Family C's bankaccounts are compared, and whoever has the most is awarded MHF, where they stay, until they lose honour for any reason.
This is obviously not what has happened - in this case, family C (d'Murani) reached 200k and automatically got MHF. So either my understanding is wrong, or there is still a bug somewhere.
Possibly every time a family reaches 200k, there's a the comparison of bankaccounts among all families at the cap, with MHF awarded based on that -- This could do with confirmation. If this is the case it is a stupid way to do things. It basically would mean that people have to funnel huge amounts of gold into their family bankaccounts and not only keep it there forever, but constantly add more. If this is NOT the case, then I don't understand why Ysav'rai is not MHF.
Edit to add... actually it doesn't seem like it does re-evaluate whenever anyone hits the cap, or it's not doing this any more, as we had padded our familyaccount pretty well last night before Kalas got back to 200k... and there was no change when they did. So unless d'Murani has a truly obscene amount of gold stored up, that suspicion is probably unfounded.

You are failing to account for Iasmos being a member of the Talnaras, having an obscene amount of gold, and having nothing to spend it on.

Bankaccounts, really?

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here. Are you suggesting that it is correct that the wealth of a player who sold a very popular system publicly for several RL years should be the point around which we balance the family system? Or simply that if the Talnaras ever make it back to the honour cap that you are content in the knowledge that they can literally buy back MHF? Who should be MHF right now has nothing to do with the Talnaras, or Iasmos' gold...Aramel2011-08-02 23:30:28
I think Kialkarkea was joking!

Apropos of nothing, Iasmos has a lot of gold. Oh, I get it now. Hilarious.
