More Bloodlines Submod - v3.0 Now Out (AGOT 2.2 compatible)

Sigh.... this is what happens when people try to be witty and make smart alec remarks when they aren't as smart as they think they are... Particularly when they jump into someone else's conversation and go "Oh wait..." thinking they just dropped a bomb on things when they only screwed their own argument, instead of just being polite. You really need to be more secure in your position before trying to show your ass and attempt to play people online... Because you'll find out that some people know how to bite back, and they would have just been kind had you been polite. Here's why your "logic" is sheer foolishness.

YES of course there's a saying - but "Words are Wind" is also a saying, and for damn good reason. Their actions do not reflect the saying. That's the point. Whereas in the mod, their actions do, because having a negative modifier, causes them to actually act differently. Also, Dany having a negative modifier to her own children making sense? Have you even seen her personality? Have you ever even met anyone who has a person with madness in their family? That's not how it works. It is other people who have the issue and look at them with suspicion, typically commoners, not educated people who know better.

Regardless, you make very weak points. Especially when in canon there are still Targ loyalists. This, despite the saying about the gods flipping a coin. If you actually look at which Targs suffered the madness, (there's a rather helpful list on the wiki) it was only around five or six, which is crazy low considering how many Targs existed. Which is the entire reason why they only get suspected once they show a hint of actually being affected by it. Because there were far more Targs who showed no issues at all. This is why I suggested making it a revolt risk rather than a reputation risk because commoners, having low opinion of you, doesn't matter in the mod, because they have no armies, no money, no nothing. Only revolt risk actually makes the commoners do anything, and the nobility, has been shown over and over again, to not really care about the risk.

See, the nobility didn't actually give a damn that Aerys was mad, they cared that he was being tyrannical. They cared that a Lord Paramount had his daughter (supposedly) stolen, then was killed and so was his son. Nobles are typically insulated against tyranny, but finally, they weren't. That's what they cared about, not madness. Which is why they immediately put someone with Targ blood back on the throne. Because they figured Robert wouldn't be a tyrant. At least not to other nobility. You can be a tyrant to the commoners all day long. And nobles know that tyranny doesn't run in the blood. Unlike the Targ madness. So it still doesn't make sense from a Lore perspective, which is why they kept supporting Targs, up until Aerys and Rhaegar finally went too far, (prior to the whole Lyanna thing, they were having meetings talking about replacing Aerys with Rhaegar because Aerys' madness was becoming apparent, they only revolted once Rhaegar also started fucking up, - in their view - by "stealing" and "raping" Lyanna. If they'd known it was all consensual... no rebellion. At least not by the entire realm. Maybe just the North and Stormlands, if that.) and even then they let Robert have the throne, specifically because he has Targ blood! So they still aren't worried about Targ madness! Unless you think that they were just sooooo worried about that Targ blood that they thought the closest living relative would solve the issue? Seriously, literally every aspect of the story disproves you. Hell, Robert actually very likely has the madness given his personality. "Fear and Blood" being what keeps the country together? Awful close to "Fire and Blood" the very words of the House. His insanity against any "dragonspawn" and so on? Yeah, he's probably got a bit of that rare Targ madness showing.

Furthermore, to counter your point about people being suspicious of each other if they all share the bloodline? When people do actually have negative modifiers against people for their bloodline, those with that same bloodline tend to stick together seeing it as "them against the world" because everyone else is treating them like shit for something they can't help. It's no different than any other form of discrimination - people resent it, and they form tribes because of it. Particularly when the people being mistreated are few in number, and so need each other. So again, no, people of the same bloodline disliking each other because of the bloodline rather than for some other reason, still doesn't make any damn sense. Except in the case of one or more of them actually showing that they are affected by that bloodline in the negative way.

You can't disprove a point by picking at a single bit of the whole wildly out of context. That's not how logic works.
