Great Transaction Uncertainty

The Great Transaction Uncertainty was a period in which the owners of Inutilia, @Teppic and @Ptraci, were both inactive. They chose the worst possible moment to do so, as several new people wanted to join the RP. As a result, both their profiles were flooded in requests and offers for the country to change hands.

@Ptraci was at least moderately active at the time, whereas @Teppic was entirely offline. Therefore she received the responsibility of handling the influx of messages. Many of them were months old and there was no indication of whether or not the offer still stood; and not being aware of the political situation in the game made things difficult. As a result, nobody was sure of who owned how much of Inutilia and Humerland took advantage of the uncertainty by invading the northern part.

Eventually Ptraci simply accepted the last message she received on the subject, which was from the owner of Praenuntium. She requested that Free Inutilia would become a vassal of herself and Teppic, but would not be required to pay up until the two eventually decide to rejoin the RP. The payment necessary will be negotiated at the time. If Teppic and Ptraci decide they will never rejoin the RP, Free Inutilia will become an independent country.

Interestingly, a similar event was happening with the transaction of the RCM. The latter transaction was much simpler as the decision was simply made by admin accounts on behalf of the inactive owner.
