Shireroth

How about we full-on invade Antica, give Octavius the William !@#$%^& treatment (ban him from Shirithian Antica and exterminate any bug-country that takes him in), and abolish the Constitution?

Octavius is kind of like Jesus - he's actually pretty cool, it's his followers who cause the trouble.

Malarbor has joined the anti-Antican effort! (he apologizes for the rather large text block)

In honor of the Anticalia holiday season , today I would like to report on encouraging developments across the eastern border in Antica. The Anticans are having a good month. Just this week , their posts per day finally climbed back up to where they were when the country restarted, potentially marki...

Do you know what you call ten dead Anticans?

...a good start.

That's...totally beyond the pale.

I would say we should call the Anticans emo in retaliation, but we can't sink to their level.

Wait...what did the Anticans do to Daniel?

I don't really like banning people from criticizing something. Like, what if we pass a law that no one can post on the forum without paying a 5E "processing fee"? Harvey's not allowed to complain about that? It seems like exactly the sort of thing Harvey *should* be complaining about. Hopefully we'l...

Sure, projects and plans. But words are cheap and everyone has more of them than the can act on. There was a lot of unanswered, fairly large looming questions. Like how I was going to get everything where it needed to be when all of the posts are in a thousand different forums and I don't have admi...

This would be a remarkably bad time to recriminalize rebellion - not to mention that even before it was officially decriminalized people were still overdoing it.

This broke again. Now it stops at 5-19.

I'm talking about non-citizens. They should be tiptoeing around to avoid offending us. I admit I didn't think of citizens as potential trolls.

I can't even begin to say how much I agree with Harvey on this. There are some people who do really well in an atmosphere of personal combat and conflict. There are other people who don't. We may be slowly driving out the "don't"s. I think a lot of these silly little triggers like taking away people...

I dunno. I'd rather not have any laws on the books and just let the Kaiser give random and completely unexpected smackdowns at his own discretion. Keep people on their toes and all. It'll make things more flexible, and if we all just really hate someone and see no redeeming value we can permaban the...

I talked to Aster via PM and I think he honestly didn't get that people were getting so annoyed by him. I support unbanning him when the Kaiseress is ready.

You start with 5000 erb.

Wait, really?

That means a citizen who just joined could buy a Baron-level title for almost two years under the new Landsraad resolution (5000E/700E * 3 months). That seems much too easy.

The Kildare yellow color. It MAKES ME SO ANGRY. Fix this or I will rage-quit.

And now, a word from your Crown Prince. People have been PMing me in private telling me that they're angry with various things the Kaiseress is doing, and they're going to emigrate soon and never come back to Shireroth again and so on. Please remember that I am your Crown Prince, and although my pol...

The drama llama came at midnight, making terrifying llama noises and spitting ferociously. First, it was the usual Kildari anger about the House system . Then it was a series of conflicts over CJ and his questionable views on homosexuality . Then it was Aster , and then the reaction to banning Aster...

You might not want to do this. For one thing, you never having made any money is kinda inconsistent with you having 2850 money to give away. For another, you probably need money to pay taxes and stuff.

Is this representative of a general imperial policy that when citizens leave their counties will be reverted back to the way they were before and all work on them will be lost?

2's "willful disregard for its populace or culture" phrasing. Does this refer just to lack of adequate development, or would it also apply to canon that had been previously established in the Imperial lands concerned? I intended for it to mean disregarding canon, for example trying to take over Yar...

Corey: Fight. See the proposal I linked to on the top for details.

This is a legal version of the sphere of influence proposal I made before , which I hope gets put before the Landsraad: We, the Landsraad of Shireroth, urge Her Niftiness the Kaiseress, Keeper of the Apollo Legacy, Grand Mistress of the Orders of the Dragon, Griffin, Phoenix, and Chimera, Wielder of...

This is starting to look too much like political parties - the same two people who most oppose the Kaiseress on the House system also oppose her on this ban. That can't be a coincidence. Jonas, Jake, I don't want to get the country polarized into pro- and anti- Kaiseress factions. I'm fast-tracking ...

Although my discussion with him last night surprisingly ended up with us understanding a little more of where each other might be coming from, the trolling was getting annoying and I think the Kaiseress did the right thing. People forget that we are a tyrannical monarchy around here, and the fact th...

Yeah, your technique seems to be to be so over the top condescending and jerkish that people just assume you must be faking it for comic effect. That never seems to work for me. Maybe it's the lowercase letters.

Okay, Aster: I wouldn't say I have a sufficient understanding of the theory - no, but just the raw elements of it. I wasn't debating, from that basis, that the game is based partially on game theory. What I find amusing is how you used it to justify what was essentially a rage quit. If you're no lon...

@Icebreaker: Situation's totally isomorphic to PD. Consider the situation of me and Harvey promising to both divert our forces away from our mutual border to attack you. If we both cooperate, we have lots of forces to take over Germany with and we both get a bit of Germany territory (call this payof...

IT'S WEIRD, WATCHING YOU PLAY I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE MORE ABOUT MAKING SECRET MICRONATIONAL CONTRACTS IN A NON-MICRONATIONAL GAME, AND GETTING YOUR SHIT KICKED IN BY GERMANY OVER IN ANTICA. ...wha? You seriously don't understand how making a contract in a different domain might be an example of game...

So, update: I contacted the woman who drew that castle picture, and she never got back to me. I'm giving up and have stitched together an alternate logo with more or less the same design out of real photographs.

Ari, how's your part going?
