Just noticed new "commit a suicide option"

[LYNCHY]

I'm ok with the option being there, I just don't like how it's implemented. It shouldn't be some arbitrary decision you can fire off as soon as your character gets sad, it should be an event chain that fires randomly; where your character has time to contemplate it, decide what to do, and if he or she decides to go for it members of their court could catch them in the act and try and stop them

yeah, i think this is a much better idea, aswell as a large prestige/piety hit

I think that these days, just "savant" is preferred.

Because people are idiots. Savant is someone who is good at something. Idiot Savant is autistic... essentially, someone who is a genius at one thing, but an idiot all around.

I agree with that suicide should cost piety. Taking your own life is one of the greatest sins.

It was very much frowned upon I seem to recall

Kill yourself, your Byzantine Empire goes along with it D:

Suicide was a serious crime, to the point of not being distinguished from homicide until well after the middle ages. (Dante, while not contemporaneous, actually had suicides punished worse than murderers). As such it should come with a pretty serious hit to your dynasty as a whole.

it's not compulsory.

it should be for inbred hunchbacked, clubfooted imbeciles. especially when their heir is an attractive, virtuous military genius.

Suicide is annoying when you're playing the Arthurian mod as Uther Pendragon and suddenly Arthur gets depressed and kills himself, leaving the throne to Mordred.

Suicide perhaps is not limited to players only.

PLaying today, I noticed in the notifications two people commiting suicide at the same time. I do not know who they were, but I guess they could have been lovers or something and did a suicide pact... wonder what event that could be

and I agree that suicide should make your character lose piety (to blemish the dynastic prestige at least a little) Suicide was murder of the self. It is worse than murder because you cannot repent for the sin.
