Shireroth

I had been planning to wait to do this until we'd had more time to figure out where the future was going... But my laptop decided to stop functioning yesterday, and so my ability to actually post at length has been severely cut back. I should still be around for the occasional post, but I can no lon...

(I finally figured out how to copypaste on this device... it's so much easier to quote now...) And we could find a better means to pick Kaisers when there is no heir, like hand it to the Landsraad outright to choose. Fair enough. As for the Charter thing... I should probably look at that next, then,...

...This isn't going to be about Scott giving the House groups access to the Elwynn negotiations forum, is it?

Happy birthday, Corey; but don't abuse your liver too much.

I remember Panzerland... and, more dimly, some of the controversy. Still, tanks make everything more awesome.

Hey, Ryan, didn't you start a sort of Renaissance-Italian-themed micronation once? I remember being interested enough in that one that I'd wanted to join.

Personally I would like to be rid of counties all together, so we'd need a new means to grant voting if we did seek to keep it expanded. True. The Charter, I believe, says that the Landsraad membership is determined by nobility, so either you'd have to give all voting members titles, regardless of ...

I suppose I could've put it more officially...

And would I regret asking what "aph melliokuem satkiokuem" is supposed to mean? Google seemed not to know.

W00t.

Statement of glorification acknowledged. :kaiser I have a non-Kaiser alt as well, although I only use it for Benacian-related stuff. Unless (or maybe even if) Max decides to get into it again, mapping Shirekeep is one of those things I intend to spend some time on as DirCart, after my reign is over....

I debated about that bit with myself. Part of the thought behind its present form was: if the intent is to have more power devolved to the subdivisions, the issue of Landsraad representation would become less important; most of the things people would care to vote on would be closer to home, as it w...

You know... Cliched as it sounds, I think Harvey's given me an epiphany. I've thought before that he'd had a point on this cultural fracturing thing; the stuff I've been doing with Sunderspray, and with Benacia, has been enjoyable in its way, but it's never seemed to go anywhere. People might stop b...

(A preliminary proposal for doing away with the Houses. Much reworking of terminology, had to find an alternative to the Line of Succession, the Lands section is obviously heavily altered. It doesn't entirely do away with feudalism for the purposes of Imperial Law, but if I'm doing this right it di...

Elliot Markham appears not to be in a House.

Given this, though, the whole thing might be moot.

It still applies. It's the reason I used the phrasing I did, both in that decree: united into a new Lawbook , also known as the Imperial Code of Law. And in the Code itself: The formal, codified law of Shireroth shall be set down in this document, the Imperial Code of Law, hereafter referred to as t...

The old lawbook has been moved to here , to avoid conflict with Lawbook of Shireroth (old) , and "Lawbook" and "Lawbook of Shireroth" have been set to redirect to the new document. I had originally been thinking that I would solicit changes to the new document and issue it all in one go, but frankly...

If anyone's keeping score, I'm still pretty annoyed that potentially Shireroth-shattering negotiations are being hammered out in a private forum. I've seen some of the Elwyneese demands and they're things I have very strong opinions on but shouldn't even know about through the public channels. ...I...

I request that the Kaiser name me Duke of Elwynn and simply break off all relations with the rest of the Elwynnese. If they want to hang around in Antica or somewhere, they can see how much fun they can have with only two people. If they want to come back to Shireroth, they can join as private citi...

As for CJ: I may have a task for you as well. I've noticed that you've seemed to have an interest in flags and coats of arms, and I recall you saying you've used Inkscape... Would you be interested in further work along those lines? Sure. I had been thinking that the post of... well, what was once ...

As no further candidates have stepped forward, I have appointed Malliki Arbiter. As for CJ: I may have a task for you as well.

IMPERIAL ORDER BI-8: APPOINTMENT OF ARBITER
DONE ON 13 QARBINIONSMOON, 4026 ASC, AT SHIREKEEP

I do hereby appoint Malliki Tosha, Thane-Palatine in Lakhesis, to the post of Arbiter.

Malliki has given notice in this thread of his intent to reimmigrate. I would like to ask the Minister to consider it effective immediately.

Done. (Sorry, trying to keep up with things...) Welcome back, Mike; shall you inform MiniImNat that you're back, or shall I? :document So, that makes two candidates for Arbiter, which is wonderful. As of this posting, it's late Friday morning EST; if any third candidates plan on popping up, they ha...

IMPERIAL ORDER BI-7: APPOINTMENT OF MOMA
DONE ON 12 QARBINIONSMOON, 4025 ASC, AT SHIREKEEP

I do hereby appoint Jonas Windsor, Thane-Palatine in Sermolot, to the post of Minister of Military Affairs.

he Lawbook changes that Erik posted have now been incorporated into the scratchpad version of the Code of Law. Thoughts so far, from a pragmatic-decentralizing viewpoint: -Chapter I: Could use some rearrangements. I'm thinking the removal of "one time events", since Imperial Orders do basically the ...

Actually... I don't suppose there's an easy way of making the forum readable for Shirerithian citizens, and not for others?

My concerns on this point are mostly about possible interference by foreign powers; but if the citizens of Shireroth would prefer that the forum be publicly viewable regardless, then I will not contest the issue.

*Enjoys the term "The Khan Network"*

I voted "Cedrist", just because I tend to pay more attention to the Gods than to explosions, but am indeed both B0O0O0/\/\ist and Cedrist.

Do I smell a budding bromance? *Watches in fascination as his synapses fuse* Grmbl. Alright, if there's nobody else I will take the job of MoMa. But don't expect me to do stuff before 22nd August (as I'm Saturday once again departing for a trip, this time to Switzerland) . I wish I could go to Swit...
