I resigned as Steward - oops!

[Jacobus Loki]

I cannot support the illegal actions of Hesam / Hasan. (I suppose he will make himself legal ex post facto. Such is the way of such rulers.)

However, I will neither contest the will of the Arbiter, Founder and Friend of the gods.

When one cannot support a policy, when there are things that are simply WRONG, and they cannot be made right, then Exile is the logical course.

I have turned Yardistan over to benkern. I maintain my citizenship although in exile.

It's ironic that yesterday was such an historic milestone.

[Jonas]

No!!!
Don't leave me us!


And stop with making those topics!

[Andreas the Wise]

Jacobus, as your friend and fellow historian, I refuse to accept your resignation. I expect to see you back in Shireroth tommorow.

[Jacobus Loki]

May Sakat bless you! I may wander the wiki quietly, but I cannot abide the current situation.

Fellow historian, recall how dukes and such that displeased or rebelled against a monarch would flee the country, and how they might very well be recalled after a change of reign or of dynasty?

This should not be forever, only until the winds change, and blow from somewhere besides Babkha.

[Kaiser Hasan I]

perhaps Cyberia?

[Erik Mortis]

Oh bloody hell.

[Kaiser Hasan I]

Hey, I can only take so many jabs before I start throwing them back

[Liam conToketi]

*sigh* While I do not like it, I support your decision, m'lord. May you one day return.

[Jacobus Loki]

Edited, needs to be better though out.

I'm travelling, more in awhile.

[Jacobus Loki]

Well, I wrote a long, clever, well crafted note which the hotel system ate.

OK, Reader's Digest version.

I still feel upset at the way this started. Hasan promised us he'd be all Shirirthian. Yes, I heard the argument about "owning" Babkha, and thus not being a citizen. An interesting piece of hooey, but hooey nonetheless, with all respect to the Arbiter.

I went over the edge, (in a good cause I still say).

Well, the Arbiter, the Kaiser, and some other folks seem to like this ill-founded idea anyway. So I guess the best way to handle this is to make it legal. Uhnnnng.

I'll post a draft charter for the Commonwealth, that out to do it once it goes through the Landsraad.

Since I'm on a limiting power kick, lets start with me. I unresign the Stewardship, but I think benkern should stay on as Duke of Yardistan. I'll accept a barony or a county or whatever he's got left if he likes.

[Andreas the Wise]

Jacobus is back! YAYYYY!

[Jacobus Loki]

Thanks!

[Liam conToketi]

A wise decision, m'lord.

[Jonas]

Unresign? Did you ever resigned?

[b3n|<3r|\|]

Booyah!

[Aurangzeb Khan]

I unresign the Stewardship

You would have been better off if that thought had occured to you a day or so ago. As it is I do sincerely hope that the phrase "too late chum" will be the one that is employed here.

Nothing personal but it would be better for you to be re-hired having learnt the folly of resigning without giving due thought for the consequences of your actions rather than merely "unresigning".

[Ari Rahikkala]

If Hasan rehired him, that would imply that his resignation was actually accepted. I don't remember Hasan accepting, so... let's just write "he never really resigned" in the history books, OK?

[b3n|<3r|\|]

Better idea - let's make a mountain out of a molehill and almost have a civil war over this trivial thing. It's the style of the time!

[Kaiser Hasan I]

Actually Ari, you're right I didn't accept his resignation because I had fired him the day before. The post reads:

I hear by revoke Jacobus Loki's status as Steward until such a time as he can learn to place the well being of the Imperial Republic before himself. I ask that the Arbiter begin an official investigation as to whether Jacobus Loki has broken the law by attempts to depose the reigning Kaiser of Shireroth. As justification of this request, I present the following:


Quote:
And you could have negotiated in good faith. You let power and the lust of it cloud your judgement.

You are deposed. We will see who the next Kaiser might be.

Jacobus Loki
Ruling Steward of Shireroth

[Ari Rahikkala]

I hear by revoke Jacobus Loki's status as Steward until such a time as he can learn to place the well being of the Imperial Republic before himself.

I move that since this sentence makes no grammatical sense (you heard by what? And since when was Shireroth a well?) we consider it legally void

[Aurangzeb Khan]

I move that the Kaiser is above the dictates of grammar!

[Erik Mortis]

That's what the Imperial Scribe was for...

Well, the Arbiter, the Kaiser, and some other folks seem to like this ill-founded idea anyway. So I guess the best way to handle this is to make it legal. Uhnnnng.

I just said it was legal, barely, not that I supported it.

[Kaiser Hasan I]

Despite my own unique dialect of the English language, (I call it "2am: Who Stole My Last Pint? Fine I'll drink the listerine just to spite you!" English) The point is that Jacobus could become Steward again if he recognized the rule of law and was civil. Ofcourse, I didn't write that in the original statement, so I suppose I'll just have to be more clear the next time he rebels and decides to exile himself for 2 days.

[Jacobus Loki]

I recognize the rule of law. Civil? Hmmmmm, I'm usually civil. I got freaked out. I was not used to carrying the Sword of Madness.

I guess spent to much time with Diga. The whole Babkha thing freaked me out. Besides I have/had serious reservations about the whole bloody thing, and the manner with which it was presented, which means I should have attempted to throttle Andreas and/or Ardy instead of Hasan.

On review, Babkha needs us much more than we need Babkha. The micronational terror of yesteryear is more of a sleepy kitty-cat.

I need to re-write my signature again

[Kaiser Hasan I]

Hey, all I'm saying is lets give it a shot, if it harms Shireroth in some way, you'd still likely be able to call for my resignation. But even then, if we try it, and it doesn't work, no big deal, we'll end it. If we try it and it benefits Shireroth, you owe me a beer and we call it even.

[Jacobus Loki]

OK. I'm still frustrated. Most of Shireroth is going along because you're Kaiser, and they are not as silly as I am.

You could Decree your way out of it, And I honor you for not so doing.

[Kaiser Hasan I]

Of course you'd say that, Hasan has obviously gotten to you too! Look here Jacobus! For I am the Ghost of May Fool's Day Future! Peer into what you've become in 5 months time!

[Jacobus Loki]

AHHHHHGGHHHHHHHGGGGGGG

NO, NO THERE MUST STILL BE TIME!

(Wakes up.)

It's still Mayday, I haven't missed it after all!

HAPPY MAYDAY!

[Kaiser Hasan I]

Mayday is illegal, it should apologize and resign. This is May Fool's day.

[Evil MagiGARP]

I support the Mango Throne... and May Fool's Day!
