Shireroth!

[Kaiser Hasan I]

Fellow Shirerothians, thank for your support.

I look forward to working achieving the goals I've set forth as your Kaiser. I would like to congratulate Jacobus for being an excellent adversary, I look forward to us working together. Great thanks to all Shirerothians who supported me and forced me through an obstacle course of tests to achieve their approval. To those that did not support me, I hope to continue working to win your approval, hopefully I will be suited well enough to achieve that goal. To our enemies, I would like to give them a sporting chance to run stumbling and screaming as far away from our glory as they can before we hunt them down like the pathetics dogs they are*.

To our contemporaries and friends I say soon they will look at Shireroth and see the future of the community. I want Shireroth to once again be home to new ideas and innovations which set the standard for the sector. With the combined talent of our great nation, we can achieve this if we want it.

My special thanks go to the supporting cast over the past few weeks:

- Ricardo Montalbán

- My Little Pony

- Uday Hussein

- Harvey Birdman


Thank you,

HIM Kaiser Hasan I

Don't remember me you was a Babhkan!
Now you're a Shirithian...

[Erik Mortis]

Who's feelin' Peanuty?

[Jonas]

Who's feelin' Peanuty?

Huh?

[Jacobus Loki]

Milords, Ladies and of course, Your Niftiness.

First of all, I'd like to thank ALL of those who supported my bid. I find myself in the position of Al Gore, former Vice President of the U.S. in 2000, having won the popular vote (47% to 36%, I think), but loosing the "Electoral College" (Landsraad) 3 to 2.
(Poor Al didn't get anything for 2nd, except an Oscar and a Noble Prize. I got a 'fridge, a three-day paid vacation, and my old job back!)

Thus do we Shiririthians again slay the Demon of Democracy!

Briefly, again, to my supporters, I wiil not say to you, "our day will come", because our day is come, it is today, here and now. We have had an unprecedented opportunity to view two major claimants of the highest office. His Niftiness showed energy and resolution. I look forward to seeing his ideas move forward, and assisting where I am able.

Shireroth has shown maturity and judgement by not sliding into Civl War as many nations in analgous situations do frequently. We may have Civil Wars, but we War Civilly, and as we choose to, not forced by passions and ambition!

To those who did not support my bid, I thank you for your confidence in my ability to "back up".

(During the heyday of the Denver Broncos (U.S.) football team, my favorite player was Gary Kubiak. )

A question for historians- Has any Steward served consecutive Kaisers? Who was the longest-serving Steward?

At any rate, I leave the spotligh to His Niftiness, and resum my seat in the plain black chair.

[Erik Mortis]

I think we have had consecutive Stewards yes.. but I can't recall when.

[h4773r's Herald]

probably G-man under different alias' if not someone else, definitely.

[Jonas]

I will try to make a list of Stewards and Praetors if I have time.

[Jess]

Fellow Shirerothians, thank for your support.

Boo...

[Andreas the Wise]

My Kaiser, ignore him. I look forward to seeing your wonderful plans put into action, with the help of your more than able steward ...

[Erik Mortis]

Now Jess, he's our Kaiser now. Show respect...

[Jacobus Loki]

During the Roman Empire, on the conquering generals' triumph as prisoners and the captive wealth of the conquest were paraded through Rome Itself, there was one who followed the General. His job was to say, "Remember, thou art but human. Remember, thou art but human."

Such is Jess.

Come good friend, and let us go forth and mess about in Yardistan. The place needs a little fixing-up.

[Kaiser Hasan I]

I read "I Claudius" as well. :P

[Erik Mortis]

I read "I Robot"!

[Kaiser Hasan I]

Philip K. Dick is a better writer. I will be posting to the Coronation thread btw, but Its a bit long so Im still working on it.

[Jonas]

I read "I Robot"!

I read... ow I know! The Bible!

[Erik Mortis]

I read the Linux Bible..

[Aurangzeb Khan]

I see your Philip K. Dick and raise you with Umberto Eco.

This week I am mostly reading Foucault's Pendulum.

[Erik Mortis]

Just as long as no one brings up Herman Melville, I'll be happy...

[Aurangzeb Khan]

No fear - I've never read Moby Dick.

[Jacobus Loki]

I'm re-reading Burrows "Mars" series...

[Erik Mortis]

Burrows? Mars.... I'm interested.

Try Robinson's Mars Trilogy. Lots of politics.. but a good trilogy...

[Jacobus Loki]

Edgar Rice Burrows, twelve volumes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Princess_of_Mars

Tardos Mors was Jeddak of Helium, Mors Kajak was his son. When I first stumbled in here so many years ago, I though they were related to the Kaisers.

Until I met Malarbor, of course.

[Jacobus Loki]

I see your Philip K. Dick and raise you with Umberto Eco.

Call, and raise Stanislaw Lem.

[Kaiser Hasan I]

I've got a William Gibson, Two Vonneguts, A Bradbury and a Neal Stephenson.

[Prodigy Almighty]

Read 'em and weep! An A. Chimendez, Terry Goodkind, Brian Jacques, and two pairs of Tolkiens!

[Andreas the Wise]

I've been lax, I can only offer a Tolkien and a Pratchett. Darn good Pratchett though ...

[Liam conToketi]

I haven't had a good book in a few months...

I've got about 20 Raymond E. Feists...

[h4773r's Herald]

i see your 20 feist with my own (midkemia RAWKS!) and raise you 3 Karen Traviss, and 2 Frank Beddor *pulls a Laurel K. Hamilton out of his sleeve* my gf says i have to read em since she read my feist books

[Behmanesh FarzAn]

I've got about 20 Raymond E. Feists...

Yes I think we all noticed that in your wholescale "importing" of the series into your micronation.
