Yes, by a longshot! Erik posted this before Halloween...hmmm...ne'ermind....

Although I still don't think it was completely logical.

Nope. I made a vow, and even in heightened emotional states, a vow is a vow. Content yourselves with my doppleganging about as an unofficial diplomat.

What? Oh! It's quite alright. Really, I killed myself--you only provided a convenient means for me to do it. So don't feel badly. Nick and I had had a small dispute (which was easily patched up), and circumstances obliged me to remove myself from the war. I figured, if I must die, why not do so dram...

Of course.

As a matter of fact, it was during my tenure as Count of Kaikias (I title I never earned or deserved), after the breakup of the Duchy of Antica, when I was Hatter's vassal, that I attempted to install myself as Kaiser Nicodemus I. Bill Dusch was the actual Kaiser (Meskan the Somethingth, I think), b...

Question! How can Dukes serve in the Lnadsraad if there is no Landsraad? You suspended the Charter already. Unless, of course, you mean to say that the Landsraad, like the Kaiser, is so entrenched that it exists outside the framework of the Charter (which would please me immensely. :demon) I don't k...

OMG!!! HATTER!!!!

*Morning Mood plays, as a tranquil, pastoral scene unfolds* Why can't we all just frolick merrily amidst the flowers?

BECAUSE THERE IS TYRANNY AFOOT!!!!!! *The sky goes black, a blizzard begins to fall, and blaring Death Metal shatters everyone's ears*

I don't know if I would say that Nick's conduct is necessarily how all Americans would define "respectful", if you're trying to contrast American notions of respect with, say, Australian ones. I do think it was quite tyrranical and stupid of Liam to declare the discussion finished and suppress debat...

I'm sorry, from the way the conversation was going, I assumed that the plans for annexing the other territories were further along than they actually are.

You're planning to take over the entirety of Jaris? That might raise some difficulties, as the Antican province of New Aryez currently occupies the western half.

Perhaps you should post a map showing the territories you intend to annex?

Oh, those were the days! I still remember that rebellion...it seems like a long time ago, but it wasn't really.

Yes, you can't really take Steven's statements as the concensus. We need a disclaimer. And, of course, I apologize for any insult or offense you may have suffered at his hands.

*brandishes squirtgun*
CALM DOWN, DAMMIT! NO NEED FOR HYSTERICS!

Freedom of speech? In Shireroth? This is most irregular...

You know, if you wanted to, you could wait awhile and work this secession into a different war (wherein continuity with other wars is hardly expected to count)...

[OOC, obviously, since I'm dead] May I ask what the purpose of binding my corpse was? Or how that corpse could possibly grin and laugh, considering its brains were dashed out with a piece of fallen masonry? [OOC]

"Well," said Braden, stumbling back into the Keep, "We positively cannot allow ourselves to be taken alive. Can you imagine that, the Speaker of the Assembly dragged as a prisoner before the Kaiser? What a monstrous notion. And you, Nick, they'd kill you right off the bat, I'm sure, the barbarians.....

Hello Enrique! How are you and Edgard?

HI GREG!!

"Not a huge problem!" declared the Speaker, practically tugging Foghorn down one of the Keep's many corridors. "If the Shirithians want to destroy their own capital, who am I to stop them? Some palace for the Kaiser to return to, blasted apart by some giant robot, but who am I to criticize? Want I w...

Raynor's Keep contained two thronerooms: the larger, ancient one used for coronations and the like, which was long and somewhat narrow, like the nave of a romanesque cathedral, with tall columns and a cieling made of ribbed arches, all rendered in shining white marble, with the imposing, gilded Mang...

*whacks you with Victorian Ruler (R)*

Its pretty depressing that our foreign policy is horrible, even in people's dreams..

You know, dear Countess, it occurs to me that I have seen very few of Your Grace's soldiers here in Shirekeep...

WHAT? RENAME COUNTIES?

Bill would never tolerate this!

I'm not being sarcastic!

In my humble opinion, if something is beyond the grasp of human logic and reason, then it is not a problem: a problem is something which may be solved, and reason is man's only active means of solving problems. Something which is beyond human comprehension is a conundrum or something else.

Indeed...we Anticans do everything quicker and better...

No, I've got internet explorer or something.

Ah well. I'll have to write something else later on. I think it has something to do with the fact that I opened a new window and went to the topic so I could reference something, forgetting that I have myself set to "log me in whenever..."

[OOC]

Shit. I wrote a huge post, and then Shireroth decided I was improperly logged-in, and now that material is completely lost. Shit. It took me several hours.
