Steward Election

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

I would like you to elect me a Steward. Please consider all members of my House to be inelligible.

[Erik Mortis]

Wait? What? Why are you making all House Mortis members ineligible?

[Falkner van der Sluijs]

How much do you want to not elect a new praetor :P

[Daniel Farewell]

I nominate his Khaness, Aurangzeb Osmani.

[Erik Mortis]

Corey, the Kaiser can't force a new Praetor election. But I would challenge you for the job if it came up to vote. (It's a fun job.)

[Falkner van der Sluijs]

Corey, the Kaiser can't force a new Praetor election. But I would challenge you for the job if it came up to vote. (It's a fun job.)

No, but I can't be both Praetor and Steward

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

The reason why I made House Mortis inelligible was to prevent power concentration within one House. But I lift that restriction. I will allow the Landsraad to choose freely.

[Erik Mortis]

If it makes you feel better I don't really want that job.

But Let's see.... Harvey might be an amusing choice.

The Khan is known for being nuts... But that would make 2 from house Kalir in big up there jobs..

Icebreaker?

[Daniel Farewell]

God no.

Andreas?

[Erik Mortis]

To be honest, given the Kildarean agenda, I'm not sure about giving them the power of the Stewardship.

[Daniel Farewell]

I am fully confident in Andreas commanding the stewardship. He is a loyal citizen of Shireroth and has been so for many years. He is well-known, well-respected and has worked very hard for Shireroth.

[Erik Mortis]

I suppose I could support him. Though I wouldn't mind other options.

[Andreas the Wise]

Remind me if the Stewardship has a 2-cit restriction still. If it does, I'm ineligible.

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

Yes, the 2-cit restriction is still in place.

[Daniel Farewell]

Source?

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

c. The Steward may be a Dual Citizen if there is a Kaiser on the throne.

[Daniel Farewell]

Ah, yes.

[Jacobus Loki]

Corey knows the job very well.

[Falkner van der Sluijs]

But I'm currently Praetor, and I don't think the Landsraad is keen on electing a new one. I'll just wait my turn

(I always liked it when Kaiser(ess)s just appointed one, but this works too)

[Jacobus Loki]

Leo was really good. Can anybody find/persuade?

I could do it, but my schedule is full of massive swings, and I'd have the urge to make CW-inducing stuff.

Stop me before I Decree again! ARRRGH!

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

Stop me before I Decree again! ARRRGH!

Don't tempt me...

[Kaiseress Anandja II]

I just wish to make everyone aware of the following points:

1. Any member of the Landsraad that does not vote in this election (PRESENT/ABSTAIN is counted as having voted), will be demoted and lose their Landsraad seat,

2. Failure to elect a Steward will lead to the dissolution of the Landsraad, and

3. I reserve the right to veto your choice.

[Daniel Farewell]

Mr Prætor!

The situation in the Council of the Land is deteriorating. There is no decorum. Her Majesty has gifted us with her presence and we bicker and make funny faces! It is unacceptable! She has commanded this Council to elect a steward while we largely ignore her most divine will! It is unacceptable and up with this I will not put!

Mr Prætor!

I demand decorum and sensibility in these chambers!

I motion for:

1. The election of Scott Alexander in Hyperborea to be the next steward of the Imperial Republic

And I further motion, that unless you, Mr Prætor, can command this House in decency and decorum, an election for a new prætor.

I yield.

[Falkner van der Sluijs]

Get off my feet.

I was, until you, not presented with actual candidates.

Very well, the floor is open. Vote AYE or NAY for Scott of Hyperborea as Steward of Shireroth.

[Aurangzeb Khan]

Kalir votes Aye.

[Erik Mortis]

I ask if he would even accept it. He would accept the Kaisership.

And if we wanted Corey as Steward, I'd be more then willing to run for Praetor.

I'd have to Vote Nay until I get some sort of reassurance that Scott even wants the job.

[Falkner van der Sluijs]

I share your sentiments, Lord Mortis, however I have been told to start the election, and I was firmly given a candidate to elect, so the election began.

[Erik Mortis]

It's not to late. This is the Landsraad. You are lord here over when votes start and stop (following the Procedures). If you want to wait a single more day so you can add a candidate, and make sure the other even will accept the job, then you can do so.

If the Kaiser gets impatient, he/she can simply decree one in place, but can't simply say "start voting now", that would violate the charter "non-interference" clause. He can do the demotion things if he/she really wants, but that would cost political capital.

Thus.

House Mortis Votes for Corey!

[Falkner van der Sluijs]

Vote for me? I served over 7 months between being steward and kaiser as it is

[Erik Mortis]

Is that an objection or an acceptance?
