Shireroth

Edited because large fonts in the Malarbox mess up the Wiki front page.

The end is nigh, at least for your forums. The Kaiser has proposed a one month transition to the forums of the Bastion Union with Gralus, Nelaga, and Natopia. But before you do that, a word. A building facade? Seriously? You would get your top-of-the-forum news announcements from A BUILDING FACADE? ...

iii. Given that the above two don't occur, I think it unlikely they would work much better on a 'community' Gralus-Nelaga-Shireroth-Natopia-Elwynn forum.

Wait a second, your're letting Elwynn in now?

That would make the project similar to the MCS, which is mostly inactive and uninteresting, and to other failed projects like MicroHub. It would make it one more forum at which people point, laugh, say "YAMO", and never use because they have their own forums, same as always. All we would lose by doi...

..plus Scott doesn't answer my PMs to him so this doesn't come as a surprise I guess.... The last PM I have on record from you is from August 16, and I responded within four minutes of it being sent. Not to say other people wouldn't have much greater cause to complain on the same count (sorry, Jona...

Given that I wrote that Malarbox, and I am not a Shirerithian citizen or official, resigning citizenship in a nation not connected to me because you're angry about something I did that doesn't mean what you think it means seems like an unusual step.

Talk is afoot of a forum consolidation effort (don't use the 'm' word!). But so far delegates from all parties have neglected to ask the important question - will Malarbor remain at the top of the board? DO IT, PEOPLE! MALARBOR DEMANDS IT! Welcome to Kaiser Fish XII , our new piscine overlord. The ...

It has been a quiet few weeks in Shireroth, but an explanation exists. Everyone is too busy GAZING IN AWE AT THE GLORY THAT IS MY PUMPKIN SPANGLE YOU ARE AWESOME. And it will be quiet next week too, because you will all be too busy GAZING IN AWE at Fides' Malarbor meme . In non-AWE-FILLED-GAZING rel...

More important to whom, for doing what?

Carl Sagan was on TV...at least as much if not well more than that lady next to him...

So...what you're saying is...people who learn about science by reading books...instead of by watching TV shows with a famous scientist in them...don't deserve to exist??

Er, the vast majority of writers I really like I can't recognize on sight from a photograph. The only reason I recognize Sagan is that there was a picture of him on Reddit for some reason a little while ago. Doesn't mean I don't know who he is. I've got no clue what JK Rowling looks like, but doesn'...

I can't even figure out how to validate my copy of Windows, and now I'm expected to validate my existence?

A note on this : If it makes any difference to them, I do not grant the Elwynnese permission to use the Kalirion shield I designed or any variant thereof. You sell my beloved Duchy out to a bunch of vultures and betray my country without so much as asking me my opinion beforehand, you don't get to u...

I disagree for roughly the same reason. Other states would understand a decrease in activity from someone who has become the Kaiser(ses) of Shireroth. If the Kaiser(ess) didn't get around to visiting other countries they held citizenship in, well, its those country's losses. The policy seems to be ...

He sent in an emigration form and has barely posted here in weeks. Haven't you noticed? How the sun seems to shine brighter, how birds are singing in every tree, how there's a spring in the step of young children, and even the air seems to taste sweeter? Isn't that proof enough?

Malliki isn't a citizen here anymore.

Clearly, Shireroth wasn't involved. It was merely the vast majority of its citizens, acting individually without approval on the same sort of strategy by sheer coinicence, agreeing to mess with a known unstable guy in a completely friendly and totally not at all mean way despite confirming suspicio...

Deleted because although the sentiment that I wouldn't have driven a citizen away was correct, looking back I'm pretty sure Elliot wasn't actually a Shirerithian citizen at the time. Despite the operation evidently having grown with each retelling, in the end, all Shireroth ended up doing was making...

Would you agree that it was the Anticans who did all the actually-bad stuff and that the part that Shirithians played in fact was just that of a harmless prankster? Nah, Antica doesn't come out of this looking great either, but that doesn't excuse us. What I hope does excuse us is that, unlike Anti...

Shireroth seems to be perpetually immature. It's part of the reason why I've not returned, and why I will continue to remain ex officio in the foreseeable future. Erm, you realize that Antica, where you are a citizen, also participated and was way more into that kind of thing than we were, right? A...

People of Shireroth. All through the long summer, our enemies were writing our obituaries for us. Whether fomenting revolt among our fiefdoms or banning our very name from being spoken in their lands, they thought they were digging our grave and we worried they were right. But earlier this week, Spa...

Delphi's account was used with his permission, and we already told you all this a while ago.
I've already said it was a mistake, and in theory I'd support a law against doing it again, but I'm not sure what the law would say or be against, exactly.

I think it's cool that Kaiserial decrees can bind foreign nations now. How about making Victoria cede us Lesser Automatica?

Scott, I think you failed at your attempt to make Hyperborea sufficiently weird :( Usually I'd agree, but let's remember that this is a Bonapartist faux-Hawaiian Yardistani with a faster-than-light spaceship who claims descent from Loki saying this, so his definition of "not a freak" might be more ...

Harvey: I agree with you about the pace, but I've found several solutions. Number one, go to "quick" game speed at the settings. Number two, have waaaaay too many civs for the map size you want. Number three, there are mods that increase the yield of all resources - download and add them. That usual...

But the ninth circle of hell most of all is reserved for traitors. The second round is reserved for traitors to their country. They lie encased in ice for all eternity, starving... Huh? No, you're thinking of macronational Hell. The ninth circle of micronational Hell was either the one for people w...

Understand, Scott: as far as I'm concerned, this is more than just about forum deletion. It's also about treachery. Ardy's exhibited various forms of evilness, and most of them were either harmless in the big scheme of things or actively amusing. But I'm not inclined to be lenient when it comes to ...

I know we're all really angry about the forum deletion, but banning him from all micronations forever and vowing that his name may never be spoken again? Ardashir has always been slightly insane and evil and destructive. This isn't the first time he's deleted a forum for his own amusement - that was...

These dam negotiations have gone on too long. Tell the Elwynnese exactly where they can shove their dam concessions, sign the dam treaty, and tell their dam negotiators to go home.

Hi Steve. Welcome back and all that. If you need me, you know where to find me.
