So, someone makes a character, claims a distant (really distant: cousin 9th removed).  In practical terms, this means nothing.  My 5 greats uncle was the vice president of the CSA.  I'm also descended from William Bradford.  Does this mean anything practically?  Nope(.jpg).

Yet, the first thing someone posts is a "I checked in the records" (which a player cannot do!) "and you're not there."

If someone is claiming to be the daughter of Heth, or the Empress or any other key character, fine, yes, call BS.  But for a relation that removed?  That sort of thing, in my completely unhumble opinion, is godmodding.

Actually, claiming such a heritage is godmodding as well. Reasonable godmodding, sure, but godmodding none the less.

Then again, 90 % of any character's given background is godmodding, as none can proof to be what they claim. So I don't really see it bad to claim to be what she claims to be.

There are plenty of people that claim to be a minor part of the Sarum family, or Kador or what not.  Assuming that the character is not claiming that their background means they get to speak for the Sarum family or what not (I'm the Empress's favorite niece! or so such) then, what's the problem?
