Imperial Decree #386: Baron of Dolor

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

To all Shirerithians, greetings!

Erik, you can't say I didn't warn you.

Since Erik Mortis, Baron of Dolor and Count of Monty Crisco, sees it fit to continue his rebellion against the Imperial Government, in complete disregard of several instructions issued by us, I see it fit to issue the following Imperial Decree, effective immediately:

1. Erik Mortis is hereby suspended from his positions as Baron of Dolor and Count of Monty Crisco. He retains his titles, but any baronial decrees/orders or county decrees/orders made after the passage of this Decree are void and of no effect.

2. The following are repealed:
a. Monty Crisco County order #4.
b. Monty Crisco County order #5.

3. Erik Mortis is hereby restricted to post only in the Shrine of Controversy, the Church of the Machine God and the Small Commonwealth, with subfora.

4. This Imperial Decree is in effect until Erik Mortis ceases his rebellious activity and confirms his loyalty to the Golden Mango Throne and to the Kaiseress.

Signed by my hand this Thorsday, the Seventeenth of Biternionsmoon, 3637 ASC.

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

I hereby repeal this decree. The Imperial government will take a different approach.

[Erik Mortis]

I think you've lost it...


Oh... and you do know my rebellion is against you.. not the Imperial Government...right?

[Kostalan Rottsaa]

The Kaiseress is the Imperial Government

[Erik Mortis]

No. The Imperial Government includes the Landsraad, Ministries and the Judex. If you remove, suspend, or fire all of these THEN she is the Imperial Government.

Anyways, the rest of the Government (aside from the MoMA) has left me alone, and I've stayed quietish. It's your Kaiseress that's been hounding me. So my rebellion continues against her alone.

[Kaiseress Anandja I]

I am making mistakes every day Erik, this might have been one of the hasty ones. I think that it's pretty good for you to find out that not all people roll over and play dead every time you bark.

(aside from the MoMA)

It is my job you know...

[Erik Mortis]

Why do people think that I even assume, expect or want that? I think people have a rather warped image of what, who and why I am...(if that made sense).

And it gets really annoying for me when people use that sentiment as some sort of justification for how they deal with me. I hardly ever ask for anything, and if I get it it's because I made a sound argument, NOT cause I'm Erik. (if it IS cause I'm Erik, then it angers me) So, when I do fail to persuade others, and they use the "You need to lose every now and again Erik" argument as a justification, it really makes me want to smack them.

I DON"T EXPECT PEOPLE TO ROLL OVER, NOR DO I DESIRE IT! Why can't people get that...


To MoMA: I know.. not faulting you.. we all have our roles. Mine is rebel these days since Yardistan has failed us all. I have to replace them as the rebellious ones.

[Jacobus Loki]

Erik is probably having more fun with this than he has had for a while.

So my rebellion continues against her alone.

If we look at history, Erik is certainly capable of being in rebellion against himself. So if he is in rebellion against a system that he created, then things are fairly normal.

.....And ice cream will be delivered to the hot, tired, undernourished people of Monty Cristo, even if it must be from altitude!

MEOW!

[Erik Mortis]

The Ice Cream will get through.. we authorized your deliveries.. and validated your parking...

[Jacobus Loki]

All praise Señor Mysterioso!

[Erik Mortis]

Yes, Praise that crazy ally cat of the gods...

[Jonas]

I assume we're having a civil war?

Lord Mortis is still more then welcome in Sermolot.
