Shireroth

...curious...

I should nose around the ACP more often!

HI GUYS!

The hell?

*checks*

Steward huh?

Ruling Steward, at that!

Well, until Jacobus comes back to take the throne, anyway.

Eeeevil!

Hence why I'm here

I have no kaiser! I recognize no steward! I have spoken!

Gondor has no King. Gondor needs no King.

Not in the book, btw.

Still a good line...

Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light.
Protect us by thy might
Great God our King.

I still dont recognize anyone in authority! Screw all of you!

yes yes.. Here's a cookie, go play nice now...

Hmmm, cooookiessss

Request permission to let Andreas the Wise into SEP?

Granted.

Thank you, my liege. While I was on the group administration page, I revoked the permission of the following people for the following reasons:

Kaiser Loki II (currently allowed in under the name Kaiser Loki III)
Kaiser Mors V (currently allowed in under the name Erik Mortis)
Shyriath (long gone)
Kaiser Ayreon I (no longer Kaiser, wasn't a full participant in the Sathrati debacle but was still enough of one that I feel more comfortable without him in here)

I believe the fewer accounts are allowed in here, the better - I've broken into foreign forums before through some old account that no one ever remembered to revoke permissions for.

I am also considering removing Benkern, on the grounds of him being Grand Vizier of Babkha and the Babkhans clearly abusing their access here during the Sathrati debacle, but Benkern wasn't directly involved in that and I still want to trust him. I leave the final decision to the Kaiser.

So is this the mystical IAC, or the Secret Plans forum?

The SEP.

I wonder if the SEP's existence and the list of people allowed to access it should be officialised like the IAC's...

Nah, its more fun not knowing it exists ...

"Wasn't directly involved", pfft, I had no idea that was going on at all and I resent the implication. I don't mind if my access is revoked because I'm a Babkhan or because I'm the Babkhan GV but doing so because of Sathrati would annoy me alot. I reckon the perpetrators didn't let me in on it because they knew I'd tell you lot immediately.

The dolphin speaks the truth.

Oh, and Ric was heavily involved in Sathrati.

Ben, I realize that you weren't aware. By "not directly involved", I meant "involved only insofar as being a Babkhan at the time".

You're right that Ric was heavily involved, and if you've noticed I've revoked his access here.

I predict a bad next few months in our relationship with Babkha, because Hesam's being a total jerk about the new MNN and I'm trying to stop him. This hasn't started to involve our respective countries yet, but it might later.

Probably about to lose my access...

But I posted that thing about Ric's involvement because you said this:

Kaiser Ayreon I (no longer Kaiser, wasn't a full participant in the Sathrati debacle but was still enough of one that I feel more comfortable without him in here)

Oh, I was under the impression that he foiled it by giving the throne to Jake instead of a Babkhan.
I'm waiting on the Kaiser to decide whether you keep access. Unless you start quoting SEP stuff to Hesam Jayatar

benkern stays.

He was one of the few who believed in Shireroth enough to make common cause with someone as big a reprobate as Jacobus, and as big a risk taker as Mahamatout.

The ancient wisdom says, "By their fruit shall you know them." If relationships with Babkha are ever to be restored, it will be most likely via benkern.

I concur in the other decisions. Ric is a nice guy who did the right thing in the end. I'd love to see him back in Elwynn, of course under the watchful eyes of the Lord Protector.

The others are housekeeping, and thanks are to be given for that.

BTW, I'd like to meet with the Grand Vizier (somewhere else) with his Babkhan hat on to try to restart discussions.

Wonderful to hear you have confidence in me, Jacobus. At the moment I'm sure there are many Shirerithians still resentful and suspicious of Babkha (quite rightly admittedly) but I share your vision of a reunited front between us. Hey, we're Babkhans, can you blame us for stabbing our best friend in the back for no real reason at all?

I trust benkern, well, as much as I'd trust that rotten Cyberian carpetbagger, Jacobus!

Oops, that's me.
