Slump? Malarbor says NO.

[Scott of Hyperborea]

Someone noticed we're in some kind of "slump" or something, and now everyone's running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Malliki Tosha aka (Anti-)Kaiseress Anandja II has launched a revolt (current status unknown). Kaiser Mors VI has gotten busy doing things like appointing Margraves (congratulations, Andreas) and naming an heir (Scott of Hyperborea, who declined). And the Ashkenatzans and Anticans are busy hovering overhead like vultures, waiting to pick over the remains of their betters. Whatever happens, Malarbor demands a Kaiseress Ruth!

There's a bit of upset over the Duchies losing their ancestral lands in transition to the House system; Kaiser Mors is attempting to recognize certain core lands, but this isn't enough for Dutch Jonas, who has started a revolt in Greater Audentior. There's a proposal in the IAC to deal with this, but for now the Kaiser is leaving things as they are and concentrating on tweaking other parts of the Houses - like getting some more people into the Landsraad.

In other news, we're considering alternate forum color schemes, saying a sad goodbye to Aryeztur, trying to figure out the role of the Small Commonwealth, revising the PRH out of the lawbook, passing a new treaty with Stormark, and actually doing a whole lot of other complicated stuff. Who was talking about a slump again? DAMNABLE LIES!

There's a proposal in the IAC? I miss seeing that body ...
