    OK, so we can avoid unintentional faux pas', I thought we should dedicate a thread to this.

    First, Invictus titles are used with Invictus, not others.

    Formal address is the Title of Esteem or Tribute + Title of Function with the last name.

    Informal (but not familiar) address is the Title of Esteem or Tribute only with the last name..

    Familiar address is the same as Informal with the first name.

    Intimate address is the first name only.

    *** BE CAREFUL WITH FAMILIAR AND INTIMATE FORMS ***

    There is some confusion about Titles of Esteem and Tribute. They are NOT combined. As per page 42, a Title of Esteem is used if the person has no title of Tribute.

    Let's go through examples:

    Formal address:
    The Right Honorable Alder Asa Clarke, The Marquis of Sacramento and Judex

    Informal address:
    Alder Judex Asa Clarke

    Familiar:
    Alder Asa

    Intimate:
    Asa

    The Title of Function, Judex, supercedes his City position of Prince, within the Invictus. Outside of the Invictus, or in mixed company, he is referred to by his City position, Prince Clarke.

    If any of you have questions about your titles, post them here, and I'll has them out.

    IMPORTANT: If you have a question about what form of address you think you should be using, ask OOC instead of making a terrible mistake IC.

    I had a conversation with sdog about that recently. I don't own the Invictus book, but he gave me the information I needed. I guess Madam Aimée is the correct title for me? I haven't earned any other titles..

    Yes, you would be Madam Aimée Noel, or Madam Aimée, if you have no Title of Function (job description).

    To help, would it make the game smoother if all players of Invictus members post their titles within their sigs? Just a suggestion.

    Good idea, actually. I just pity all those people whose title takes up a whole line or more.. so unaestethic. :P

    Well, either put it the sig or the first post of a scene. So long as its there for ease of access.

    I've always had trouble differentiating between Mister and Alder. At what age does it change from the younger Mister to the elder Alder? I need to figure out Arnold's titles.

    It's basically a function of age and Blood Potency. Here, at TV, BP4 is when the 'Alder kicked in, since most of the population was BP 1-3.
