Shireroth

Shireroth has been without a Kaiser, for all intents and purposes, for a month.

Now if this were a constitutional monarchy, 'twould not be any big deal. So what. Many of us would be thrilled if the (President, PM, etc.) of our macronations would learn from the example of Kaiser Erasmas and speak a short sentence nine times a month.

Power, like nature, abhors a vacuum. Steward Leo is a Good Hard-Working Guy, but he seems to be letting things drift. Not horribly, but notice has been served on him by certain parties that if he attempts to use the perogatives of his office as Ruling Steward, a crap-hammer will pound him senseless. So he drifts.

Power then sinks slowly into the Landsraad. A body which means well, but needs the threat of a Kaiserial smackdown in the background for it to function at its best.

Is it time to wake up the country?

Could be.



The Line of Grifos is willing, as usual, to induce chaos.

(See above.)

Eh, first of all Leo is not Ruling Steward. Second, we have only informed him of the limitations and powers of his office. Stop complaining about every little thing Jake.

As for the issue at hand, I agree that this is pretty bad. Nine posts in one month by a ruling Kaiser is not good. He does make himself immune from declaring him dead in a legal way though, since he has to be absent (not post) for one full month for that. However, I doubt that his power base is strong, so a good bid to claim the throne has every chance of succeeding.

Stop complaining about every little thing Jake.

It's my job. See, in my Sig., "General Malcontent".

Besides, since when is commentary complaining? I'm "telling it like it is, " like we used to say in the ancient days.

Besides, a certain level of chaos gives the Arbiter (and maybe other folks) something to do.....

I'm point out that I have not been particularly active as the steward because I thought that is the role of the Steward: to keep the seat warm in effect. If Anandja turns out to have a valid claim on the throne I will support her/him? in any way possible. If not then I am more then ready to take a more active role in my office.

Dear Steward, I am still researching my lineage. I will let the people of Shireroth know as soon as possible.

Milady, keep the peace and love. Let those so inclined waive the sword. Should your claim prevail, there are many here capable of so doing.

"Waive" the sword? Legal Puns! AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Oh, that wasn't a pun? Sorry....

Could we but waive the sword, in the legal sense, twould be a happier world.

SO IT WAS A PUN!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
*dies from laughter*

A civil war where the people with the biggest armies and the most sweet talking mouths (to convince the people with the biggest armies to side with them) is the only way to guarantee activity and a Kaiser supported by the enfranchised masses.

I'm sick of civil war, says the rebel Duke.

But you haven't had one yet. Not a proper war as such, anyway.

MASS will recognize no kaiser but Ari.

DUCHY OF MIRIOTH AMITY AND SO-SARA! REBEL AGAIN!

Again, dear Duke, please read this thread.

I do apologize, it should be "Dear Count". I should perhaps not have been up partying with Bacchus...

Greg, the gods have spoken. Although I respect your Yardistani rights Her Niftyness is Her Niftyness.

Of course, you can foam and froth in a corner of the country.

Like MASS.

But it is better to embrace the Love and Peace that cometh to Shireroth!

I agree! We need to slaughter each other to restore the normal kind of chaos!

Ooooohhhh... I'm too late...

Its never too late for a good war now is it?
