Shireroth

I'm dead. or abdicated. That is all. Next Kaiser.

How abrupt. And yet It was a pleasure serving under you your niftiness.

Where is Icebreaker anyways?

In memoriam Agni, imperator Imperium Mangorum, who died for want of a memorable ending. Requiescat in pace.

No sign of Icebreaker? There is only one answer to this...

ALL HAIL KAISER LOKI IV!

"Shireroth sumus. Tempus in parte nostrum est."

A chilling proclamation.

WHOA WHOA WHOA, SLOW THE FUCK DOWN. OF COURSE I'M AROUND. I'M AT WORK RIGHT NOW THOUGH, SO I'LL DEAL WITH THIS IN A FEW HOURS.

UNTIL THEN, SIT TIGHT.

Ah excellent news. Would your Majesty please ignore any unusual traffic reports that may have been received in the last half-hour. There has been a simple breakdown in communication on the part of a junior functionary and it has been rectified.

Ok, time to go back to Lesser Attera.

Have you selected a Regnal Name, Your Niftiness?

Hurrah. I'm sure Scott or someone will write something suitable at some point in time.

Personally I'd like to try my hand at it. Though Scott's will probably end up being the accepted version of history. Any preferred way of death?

Oh, no problem there, my good man. With an avatar like that you certainly look legit, and not at all like a greasy motherfucker or a backstabbing regent. Good on you!

In any case, ladies and gentlemen! Apparently, through circumstances not yet fully illuminated, our previous Kaiser has abdicated the throne. As he did name me his heir, I suppose I'll take the spot. Though, let's not fuck around here: obviously a lot of you think I'm not qualified for this job. That our previous Kaiser made me his heir for his own unfathomable reasons, and that I'm just this guy with the single gimmick of having CAPSLOCK ON ALL THE TIME, popping in periodically to make fun of someone or post a snarky comment somewhere.

Which is, uhhhhh, actually pretty much accurate.

But! The throne is something I intend to take (at least somewhat) seriously. There are many things going smoothly within our borders these days, but many other issues that require a strong hand to deal with. Economic reforms that no one can agree on, personal feuds, people scheming for duchal seats, that sort of thing. I want all of you to know that I am here to work with you, the citizens, from Steward to peon, in making Shireroth a better place for all. I wish to present myself as universally approachable - if you have any suggestions, concerns, or information, please don't hesitate to send them my way. Not to say I don't have any ideas or a path of my own, mind you, but let's just say that I'm in the unique position of being rather open to ideas, on account of not knowing what the shit I'm doing yet.

So yeah. This reign won't really be traditional. I probably won't do things the way you expect a Kaiser to do things. What I can promise you is that, as mentioned above, I'll be listening to your concerns and, at the very least, it'll be entertaining and fun. And really, isn't that what micronations is all about?

*walks over to the throne, takes a seat, puts on sunglasses, lights up a cigarette and stares off into the distance in an ultimately regal manner.

Sacrilege! In violation of the law he lit a cigarette!

...



(but then again, he is above the law...)

Sounds like fun.

All hail Kaiser Erasmas I! Long may he reign!

That would be Erasmas, actually.


Straylight swears fealty to the new Kaiser. An appropriate length of time may he reign!

I suppose "Balgurd take you and your non-standard Straylightian names" would be a treasonous response then?

Brookshire officially doesn't give a fuck...

Agni I, died in an earthquake (just a proposal). May he rest in peace... or war.

Long live the old Kaiser, long live the new Kaiser!

old age would make sense....

"Abdication or Death?"
"Abdication please."
"Well we're all out of abdications!"
"So my choice is 'or Death?'"

Benkern returneth!

Huzzah!!

There was the poor functionary who declared:

ALL HAIL KAISER LOKI IV!

,

All in good time. I'm always ready for whatever, but, hey, part if Loki-ism (or Jacobus-ism, not to be confused with Jacobites or Jacobism) is that New is fun, Chaos is interesting, and the new guy gets his chance.

Therefore, the mere Count of Illumination says "All Hail Kaiser Erasmas", buys popcorn, and plans to enjoy himself.

Whatever that means.

Another day, another kaiser to rebel against.

*Bangs fist on chest, centurion-like* Hail the Kaiser! Long live Erasmas!

*Then wheezes* Ow, I bruised a rib.

I for one, would like to start the rebellion.

*ahem... BOO!!!! GET OFF THE STAGE!!

*hands Kaiser Agni an '"I'm sorry you're dead" card*

Hey, I thought we all agreed Anathem wasn't that great a book. And I thought Hesam already used that same crazy king avatar at one point.

Oh well. Long live the Kaiser and all that.

It's also in the Dune Legends series.

SE ON OIKEUS JA KOHTUUS!

King Erasmas I, I petition you to appoint me Cessor of Shireroth. No duties, just the title, nothing to do at all, except collect a paycheck when and if I ever decide to join the economy again.

(Not yet for general knowledge: The Kaiser is wearing a mask and behind the mask is something other than what he appears to be.)

EARTHQUAKE!! The Kaiser died in an earthquake!
An earthquake... that only he felt... and because of his old age (yes... )... he got a stroke...
