Shireroth

As planned , I hereby abdicate the throne in favour of Erik Mortis . I wish to be known in history as the Preparer , owing to both the fact that the purpose of this kaisership was largely to prepare for Erik's next ascension, and the fact that it was the first one of my kaiserships that I actually m...

I really, really liked Shyriath's idea of Kaiserial epithets. I'm going to come up with one for myself when I abdicate the throne... and I think there's a lot of Kaisers that really deserve to have an epithet of their own. But, there's been quite a few Kaisers since Mors IV who have no epithet of th...

Mostly floating settlements, based vaguely on seastead technological visions. Pohjankaupunki has an undersea part, though.

Yays! (come to think of it the idea of electing ministers does sound a bit weird, despite the fact that this is hardly the first time (I've opened ministerial elections myself)... still, I don't really have any preference between the two of you and I know either would be competent, so the election h...

Alas, poor Yarick.

Oh, I don't actually disapprove of it. It's just that chances are Apolytoners are going to spend the next five years trolling each other about it.

Shhhhhh! Be vewy vewy quiet! I'm twying to let the nobles wemembew to vote... oh, you had to speak up, didn't you :(. Well, Goldenbrook has approved, nobody has disapproved, so that makes Leo Praetor. I pray your ability and willingness to :whip the Landsraad into action is greater than mine! (I hop...

So, yeah, since Ola's emigrating... Harvey, you mentioned being interested earlier, do you want to take on this one? Because, you know, I do plan on further changes to this ministry, that is, I'm going to try to actually practically implement a lot of what I vaguely rambled about a couple of whiles ...

Hex grid

That's pretty low-contrast. You sure you aren't happy with #a19?

I'll be screwing with the color for a while... also will be trying to figure out why Kildare doesn't have quick reply (might have to do with the forum style but I'm not sure)

Do you mean #e68? Because I just tried that and it looks a bit... pink...

All I wanted out of this was a chance to quote The Princess Bride

Like any vote: According to the vote thread. In this case that apparently happens to mean that it's just the dukes voting. I'd be very happy to see someone actually come up with a formal procedure for electing Praetors, though, so we don't have to go through the "so how are we voting" procedure ever...

Somewhere off the forum is probably best.

Yar.

Hate to contradict you , Erik, but I'd like to hear some clarifications to your arguments... 1. Lack of control. You cannot control the money that goes into those counties, except by imposing on the link in country that is a member of the SCUE. In what way does this matter to anyone but the credito...

The idea of moving the removed money to the stock exchange is clever, but IMO not good policy. For one, it wouldn't solve the inflation problem. I'd say that if people want to play the game they should gamble their own money. ... as for what to do instead, well, I do have an idea, but it's one of *t...

Well if there can be no arrangement, then we are at an impasse.

I was actually considering giving that to Hurmu... (i.e. the Hurmudans who aren't citizens of a Shirithian duchy)

Well, Bill's leaving is really a bit of an excuse, the real reason I retracted the offer is that I don't have the money :p Scott: I forget. Some tussle on IRC. Uh, I proly would have been more concerned and so remember it better, but I kinda assumed he'd get over whatever it was about in a couple of...

I'm OK with Scott as duke and Harvey as Landsraad emissary...

How little disturbance to national monetary policies could you pull this off with if you implement this on the SCUE? I mean, you've seen that having :erb and knowing how to use it actually gets you stuff in Shireroth these days, if in no other way then in terms of political positions. I like :erb be...

I'm not sure yet what I will actually do regarding allocating who gets which colour, but I can definitely say this: Kildare's forum colour will not be changed in any way before Kildare pays its taxes.

... just wanted to be clear on that...

Well, you *can* kind of place some Shirithians on some sort of a continuum of how conservative or progressive they are. I already mentioned this in some thread having to do with the flag thing, but I'm just gonna say it again because of how much it amuses me: People like Erik and Greg tend to fall p...

Malarbor has become the Puppet Kaiser. :yay: Eh, I don't doubt Erik wouldn't have the patience to wait for his actual next kaisership, but he *has* asked about everything he's done so far in the IAC, and I have given my vague approval so it's all good :) Well, one thing I still do disagree about is...

* takes over :smashy * Uh, right, yes, electing a Praetor. Or, well, confirming one. Goldenbrook and Straylight, please update your vote allocations at the big fat vote thread and I'll count them for this vote (hey, if Allot can dictate Landsraad vote counting procedure then surely I can :p). Carry ...

I'll be sorry to see you emigrate, but hey, that's how micronationalism works sometimes. Besides, you wouldn't be the first guy who's still around because he just happens to like the place, without actually being a citizen. Although, I'm curious... what is this proposition you're talking but censori...

A funny way of saying "progressive"?
