Okay, I've been away for a couple of days, so, sorry for the late reply.

There is a proof in one of the old threads with screenshots etc. that devs intentioanlly made it so.
Ooo. If that post/thread could be found, it would be a critical piece of official information for the Encyclopaedia. I'll try and find it, but if others could help, it would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately for me, that's the first time
I've heard this. Thanks, 242 and Strontium Dog!:thumb:

What makes you think he's a tax collector?
Here's the name of the tax-collector--actually, the guy in charge of collecting taxes, not necessarily a collector himself, sorry:erg::
Julian Friehalt
From this text:
"Lord Bafford,
I write to you to remind you of your duties to your Baron and your city. Surely you do not expect that the payment you sent on the first of the month are the entirety of your taxgelt - or do you think the Baron is unaware of your gambling houses? Let me remind you of the example made of Lord Brynveran, and assure you that the penalties for concealment of income are as harsh today as they were in Brynveran's time. The main difference, of course, is that today, the inspectors receive a bounty and are even more enthusiastic in their duties. The Baron waits for the remainder of your taxgelt. I advise that you not leave him waiting too long.
--Julian Friehalt, Commissioner of Taxes"
There are at least two Julians, two Ginnys, two Ashtons, two Lornas, and probably others, but I don't have the latest lists available at this computer.
If this is the same Julian that went hunting with Bafford and Gervaisius, he certainly doesn't mix business with pleasure.:)
