General Discussion
I thank you for your response, of which I am fully aware and I do sympathize. The presence of multiple courts was and continues to be something that could potentially cause discord if pursued without compassion or in a reckless fashion. I assure you there is no intent of that, as I generally see comparing these projects rather like comparing apples and oranges, each with their own merits. That being said, as I see it the project proposed is different enough in scope to be pursued without any worry of a "double court." In fact, with the survey results in mind and the discussions we have had with a number of seasoned rpers, we have decided to set this Roman rp in the 19th century, rather than in the Enlightenment. Further, if I have interpreted it correctly, the "Pontifical Aula" serves a fictional principality of Mont St. Bruno, and represents a jurisdiction of "sheer desire." The Pontificalis Aula, an idea I have toyed with for some time, will be an aspect of a larger project that deals with the urbs of Rome and city life, which means "court" roleplay will be only a minor aspect. Thus, a rp set in a Pontificate of Mt. Bruno and that of a Papal States can coexist without any toes being trod upon, nor any ill will or misplaced ambitions.
