Bangs on Front Gate
I present myself as Loki IV, Kaiser of Shireroth, kinsman to Mors VI.
I claim the Throne by right of ability, experience, and ability to annoy beyond measure.

Here then, prod instead these cubes of lamb that we may roast them and feast upon them.

Re: Bangs on Front Gate
I shall certainly do that, as soon as you surrender to the authority of the Steward and the Landsraad old chum.

This is not an election, this is not a democracy. Stop acting like it is one. I am of the House with the largest population. I am recognised as heir by the head of my House. Hence, I claim the throne.

Re: Bangs on Front Gate
Ah, so that is the problem here. It's a personal issue. Well, I can't help you there.
Mors VI left no heir, so the choice of the next heir goes to the largest House. That is Mortis. I am of the House of Mortis. My claim is confirmed by the Arbiter, as prescribed by law.

Re: Bangs on Front Gate
By count of allocated counties, Mortis has five citizens (Erik, Mike, Icebreaker, Jadie, Harvey) and Kalir has six citizens (Ric, Ardy, Scott, Iskander, Harold, Eoin). Even granting that Eoin is probably dead for all practical purposes and that it was in err that he was allocated a county in Elwynn; isn't five and five a tie?

Ah, well, Anandja I came to power with what I would call was complete fucking luck, but hey, it worked.
Andreas, the largest active population. Mortis has me, Erik, Jadie and Harvey on the active side, with Icebreaker somewhere on the side. Kalir has Ric, Ardy and Scott in the active column.

Re: Bangs on Front Gate
If Mors VI had intended my little sister to be Kaiseress, he would have named her as heir. Instead, he died as he lived, no fault to him for that, but the Sword and the nation are often the voice of the gods.

(A dragoon rides up to edge of the circle)
"Errand rider to Lord Jacobus!"
"You mean Kaiser Loki, don't you?"
(Whispers)
"You may pass!"
(Rides up to Jake, salutes, hands him an envelope. Jake rips open. Face turns ashen.)
I have just received a letter. In the spirit of openness to the people of Shireroth I will read it. It comes with a token that causes me to have no doubt of its authenticity. It is from our old family nurse, a woman of good character.
"My Lord,
My heart sang when I saw that you claimed the throne, and spoke for those of us that had no voice.
But Milord, you should know that as your mother and Anandja's mother lay in labor, the rulings as to who was the legal wife were, well, muddled, and anyway, she was born 24 minutes before you.
So, be nice to your sister."
Who would have thought when this began that the better man would be a woman?
(Takes a knee.)
I pledge fealty and loyalty to Anandja II, Kaiseress of Shireroth.
Now, where did that pita bread go?

We all know that Mors stepped down to avoid that Kildare and Kalir would merge and take the Throne.Kaiseress Anandja II wrote:Ah, well, Anandja I came to power with what I would call was complete fucking luck, but hey, it worked.

This just proves once more that this system doesn't work: it's even more ineffective then in the time of the Duchies. To get the Throne, you just have to move from House.
From a distance I'm concerned about the rampant lawyerism manifesting itself in Shireroth currently. A simple Kaiserial slap on the wrist or censure by the community should suffice. - Jacobus Loki

Which was basically what Erik wanted. He wanted us to change houses, create them, destroy them, etc. to generate controverse and activity.

Re: Bangs on Front Gate
Help clarify something for me. In the Kalir-Kildare alliance thread, there was something about how two houses couldn't ally without joining - ie Kildare would have to merge into Kalir and it couldn't just say "Kalir has our support" or it wouldn't count for Kaiser-numbers. Am I understanding that right?
