Shireroth

The Landsraad has been charged with choosing a new Steward (again).

I ask Shireroth for nominees.

I nominate The Khan.

I veto that nomination.

Oh bollox... Can't say I didn't try.

I'm tanned, rested and ready.

Well, at least rested and ready. Back from the wanderings. Besdies, Her Niftyness is such an active ruler, Steward is a very relaxing job.

Except when she's held hostage, of course.

If nobody else volunteers I will resubmit the nomination of myself, as a selfless act in the national interest... naturally.





Backed by howitzers if necessary...

Jacobus nominated himself, dear Khan. A face-off in the Landsraad between Jacobus and the Khan would be something to see.

Kaiseress Anandja I wrote:A face-off in the Landsraad between Jacobus and the Khan would be something to see.

Please no face-offs. I have a bad habit of winning when those happen.

Jacobus nominated himself, dear Khan. A face-off in the Landsraad between Jacobus and the Khan would be something to see.

to paraphrase The Shadow

Lamont, er, Jacobus turned away quickly, but Khan was right in his face once more. "Together, we will pit armies against each other like a chess game," Khan continued. "We will take our fill of pain and wash our hands in blood."

Well, Mango juice.

Corey for Steward?

NEVER!

I'm busy enough as it is.

And also maybe going on an LOA, depends on if I have a serious condition or not. Probably gonna find out tonight when I go to the doctors.

May God preserve you, good Sir.

I believe July 20 would be long enough time for nominations unless anyone objects?

Me?

Objecting or self-nominating?

.....and can a self-proclaimed rebel against the Kaiseress be her Steward?

Why not? It would be fun.

Yes I would enjoy seeing the inevitable Imperial Smackdown delivered with its customary flourish...

And the standard activity drop that occurs on such occasions.

I'm allowing self-nominations. I meant if anyone objects to ending nominations on the 20th, we can extend it. If the Kaiseress is not satisfied with the Steward we have chosen for her (ie a rebel) she may simply appoint a new one

Current candidates:
Jacobus
Ardashir
Erik

You saying that you don't like the idea of me being Steward?

No - he's saying the Kaiseress might not...

There are only so many ways you can interpret a statement like

Erik-"....I am hereby in rebellion against the Kaiseress, I no longer recognize her right to rule over Shireroth"

.

Erik Mortis

I stand by those statements...

The Steward rules if the Kaiser cannot.

Erik has declared that he no longer recognizes the Kaiseress's right to rule. Therefore, if he is elected Steward, he will see himself as being elected as ruler in place of a Kaiser that he does not recognize as such.

If the Landsraad elects Erik at this time, they are, in effect, attempting to depose Her Niftyness.

Of course Erik could make peace with the Kaiseress, end his rebellion, be reconciled with her, swear allegiance and make public his acceptance of her rule.

Whereas the Khan has shown nothing but loyalty.

Indeed I am concerned to note that there has been no reaffirmation of loyalty by the Count of Monty Crisco following the ceasefire imposed in 3607 ASC.

You may of course elect any candidate you want to. I will, however, not accept the election of a person that does not recognize my right to rule, or who is in rebellion against me. That should be pretty obvious.

I hadn't even thought about any of that Jake.... Would be amusing indeed though.

I reaffirm my candidacy and my rebellion against the Imperial Government! This oughta be really boring.. or really fun.... depends on what the Landsraad does.

And I reaffirm that I will not accept the election of Erik as Steward. I furthermore point out to the Baron Dolor that he has 24 hours to seize his illegal rebellion, or I will do that for him. Remember that I gave you a direct order to stop. You know the consequences.

That's good enough to have my vote, just for lolz.

*tries to repress his Straylightan upbringing*

arg!

Wow.... I started my rebellion in seriousness... continued it in jest.... and now I'm really thinking I should go back to rebelling in all seriousness.


But that being said.. I take your offer Kaiser...ess.. I hereby Seize my rebellion. IT"S MINE!. No one else can have it! There.. I have seized it, oh not as Nifty as you ought to be one.... Now that I have the Kaiseress' aproval, I shall continue! MUAHAHHAHAHA..hehe.

Funny.

But i'm not going to pick on someone using a second language. gods only know what I'd sound like on a Dutch, Swedish, German, Finnish, etc, forum.

I'm not picking on.. just playing with...

Well I dont suppose anyone else is nominating and it is july 20. So nominations are closed.

Would the dukes be so kind as to now vote in the election in the Landsraad?
