In my mind, it very quickly went from something implausible (how would that system work well) to one of my favorites after playing. Still lucky enough to be in a long Amber campaign with an awesome group.
Yup. No matter how hard the PC tries, just pan over to the fireplace and fade to black: https://youtu.be/v7eJEsf11WM (had to include the obligatory Top Secret! clip)
The imperial system doesn't have any electromagnetism units that I'm aware of, so they borrow from SI.
Looks like five mistakes to me. And two spelling errors.
I'm not sure if this is sarcastic, since I have neighbors just like this. (I hope it is sarcastic)
I'm not the original person in the thread, but I'm pretty anti-piracy. However, the bulk of my media spending is on musicians (with direct buying from an artist being my primary means of purchase).
With that said, I absolutely understand why so many people pirate movies/tv. Streaming for those is an absolute shit show.
We don't have to send him to another country. Just put him on a raft in the middle of the ocean.
Definitely this. There are utilities here with 5% service charges for paying online. I'd rather pay by check
Have you never been approached by a weird dude at a gas station who is selling "fresh" meat out of a cooler in the trunk of his car?
We live in very different places. (Not sarcasm, this has happened to me about a dozen times)
Cable Internet / DOCSIS splits bandwidth in a way that greatly prioritizes download over upload.
Perhaps it's just me, but these have the exact same energy.

Sorry for the long reply
Running Amber DRPG as a diplomacy focused story is certainly an option, especially if you're doing a throne war campaign. There are certainly other setups beyond this (we started immediately following book 5 as grandchildren of Oberon). While every PC and NPC certainly has their own motivations and schemes, there is no requirements as to how political you need to be (Gerard notoriously hated the petty scheming of his siblings; Benedict doesn't care as long as Amber remains stable).
As for advancement (which I think is what you're alluding to with ranking change): if you're following the book's rules as written, the #1 in each rank for each generation cannot change (Benedict will always lead in warfare). Advancement is also blind, so you will no longer know your stats.
As for why it has run a long time: thankfully, I have a great GM that has crafted a compelling story and wonderful players that agree on the tone of the game and are reliable. It also helps that we started as 100pt characters, so there has been room for growth and development.
