I've been watching Ascalon and I notice you replied to an indictment regarding the Celestis Act, although I can't find the original indictment anywhere. What is that about? I'd hate to think that the act I proposed got you in any trouble, and if Ascalon has laws against your getting awards I'd like to know that for the future so I can make sure not to vote to give any to you. It's also very interesting watching their recognition procedure. I'm very surprised both about how much they know about Shireroth (alas, not all of it exactly our proudest moments, and some of it a little off the mark) and how intelligent a lot of their opinions are. If they did end up recognizing us, do you know of any way we could possibly help them or do something nice to allay the fears of the naysayers?

I'll talk to you more on AIMDid you find the indictment? I just had to petition to Emperor to be allowed to accept the award and I was a bit tardy on that.

The criminal court was passworded, so no, I couldn't see it.

Ah, Timothy, nice to see you, and thank you.Whatever happened to your bill to join Shireroth a few months ago?

[Timothy Nehen]

My Bill was referred to a Private Bill Committee, but before it could be dealt with, the Conclave was dissolved. I suppose I could try it again. Edited by: Timothy Nehen at: 2/15/04 2:34 pm

Mattlore, according to Emperor Jason our revoking the award would remove the problem. Would you like to ask the Kaiser to do that?
