Calling all Republicans.

[Philip Locke]

From the "CHASM" thread in Hyperborea.Quote:There's no way that a merger can be anything but doomed. Everything that comes together eventually breaks apart. On a real life scale, this doesn't matter, 'cause no one in 2003 really gives a PRH if the US collapses in a few centuries. Things outside our lifetimes (hell, things a few years down the road) rarely have a big impact on our way of thinking.However, any micronationalist worth a damn realizes that Micras is the real world on speed. We'll waste weeks and weeks on compromises and drafts of constitutions and busy-work of a similar ilk, and then as soon as we're in agreement we'll be faced with revolutions and external hostility. As quickly as it began, it'll be over, and will have done nothing but caused a lot of bad blood.Naw, friends. I'm not going to sit back and meekly watch another Tymaria come about. The minute this monster becomes a reality, I'm heading to the barricades. And I'll know where to point the gun.And don't use that, "Ah, this is just Locke trying to cause trouble!" schtick, because it's completely untrue. Rarely do I venture beyond Hyperborea, and when I do it's just to peruse the national going-ons. But I tell you this now: A merger will, in the long run, cause more harm than you can imagine. The Republic must be preserved as is; our autonomy is not an object of sacrifice! Eva P.L. Braun

Quote:The Republic must be preserved as is...We aren't a republic dude. *points to the all mighty kaiser*

[Kaiser Mors III]

You know what he means... the Empire than.... Mortis BrookshireKaiser of Shireroth

[Zirandorthel]

We aren't?These guys are obviously imposters, then!! Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus Tinenetuwar, Tivitha e'Taras

[Kaiser Mors III]

Either way.. Locke has a point. And if he and I agree on something.. it must mean.. SOMETHING... Mortis BrookshireKaiser of Shireroth

[Philip Locke]

We are very much a republic, just in the most autocratic sense of the word. Eva P.L. Braun
Italian Situationist

[Kaiser Mors III]

umm.. ok.. No need to debate that now anyhoo.. Mortis BrookshireKaiser of Shireroth

[Philip Locke]

Whatever Shireroth may be (an empire, a republic, an autocracy, a constitutional monarchy, etc.), it must be preserved.For once I stand behind you, Erik. You and the Republican cause. Eva P.L. Braun
Italian Situationist

[Gryphon Avocatio]

I thought it would be a cold day in Volsaarn win I agreed with Locke........what?though he does have motivation, since the only place where he regularly posts in Shireroth is being threatened into non-existence...but then again, the only micronation where I post regularly is under similar duress as well... -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Research and Education, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - SAVE THE KIWI!! - Lover of Llamas Give me your child, and by the age of five, I can make him a priest or a thief or a scholar. - SCOTT: You know, I always joke about how nothing will ever be able to get me out of micronations...but...I think if my mother got into micronations that would get me out in a hurry. - GUILDENSTERN:We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.

[Philip Locke]

Not to mention that I schemed with Erik years ago to make Tymaria, the last great merger, naught but a Shirerithian puppet-state (the Imperial Plan). Eva P.L. Braun

Oh really? I don't remember this too well. Please do tell.PS: The Hyperborean government has heard CHASM and Hyperborea will likely abstain on the merger vote. Edited by: Scott Siskind  at: 1/24/04 7:56 pm

Quote:Oh really? I don't remember this too well. Please do tell.Basically, Lothlaria and LG&C would be given to Shireroth in return for my being named MoFA for RS. The added land and citizens would make the Republic the most dominant force in Tymarian politics.Quote:PS: The Hyperborean government has heard CHASM and Hyperborea will likely abstain on the merger vote.

Ooh, so you were MiniEx for Shireroth at some point? I never knew that. And I don't know who Shihad is, but your sig quote is from 1984.Check Hyperborea.

[Kaiser Mors III]

Yes... But Locke and He who isn't meantioned decided to delete Tymaria not to long after if memory serves.. and where exiled from shireroth due to the damage done to Shireroth. It also prompted us to move back here. And ever since than Locke and I haven't gotten along... Mortis BrookshireKaiser of Shireroth

Quote:Ooh, so you were MiniEx for Shireroth at some point? I never knew that. Yessir. Quote:And I don't know who Shihad is, but your sig quote is from 1984.Yes it is. However, I am quoting the song, which is quoting 1984. It has much more...emotion when set to music.Quote:Check Hyperborea. Roge-o. Vitamin G
