The Articles of Coalition
Posted: Sun Oct 25, 2009 3:19 pm
by Gman Russell
We, the undersigned vow to aid one another in defending our home and our honor against Balgurd and its demons. In particular, we vow enmity against the Khan of Vijayanagara, the so-called Kaiser Aurangzeb I, descendant of murderers and demon-worshippers. We sanctify our vow in the the tears of the orphans of Amity, the blood of the elfinishi of Elwynn, and the ashes of all those who have died to keep Shireroth free.
Article One:
We will combine our forces under the name “Confederated Subdivision Alliance”, or CSA.
Article Two:
We reject the so-called "Kaiser" Aurangzeb I, an agent of Balgurd sent by the same forces which his predecessor, Kaiser Gaelen III, once planned to subvert. We declare our suspicion of Aurangzeb's succession, and of the mental status of Kaiser Gaelen when he named his successor. We demand that Shirekeep release all its data on whether or not Gaelen carried out his promise to descend into Hell, and, if so, what might have happened to him there, for we believe it may bear upon this matter.
Article Three
We declare our unwillingness to follow orders from Shirekeep, or of any noble who acknowledges Shirekeep, until such time as we are persuaded the current Kaiser is not an agent of Balgurd.
Article Four
We swear allegiance to the tradition of Shireroth and to the ideal of the Shirerithian Empire, in the person of Kaiser Leto III, whose coming has been prophecied. We declare him the true scion of Raynor, and his supporters to be the true Shirerithian Empire. We reject any of those who would secede against Shireroth or its rightful monarch.
Article Five
So that the CSA may function with efficiency and order, we hereby establish a legislative branch. It shall be called the Shadow Landsraad, and it shall consist one vote for each county represented.
Article Six
We hereby establish the Coalition Armed Forces, under the command of Duke Russell.
Signed this day, the First Vivantiaday of Vanchauslurk, 3733 ASC
Greg Russell
Duke and Anarch of Yardistan
(Anyone wishing to rebel, sign below, and post your actions in
this thread.)

I know that I am new, but I also know when something is wrong, and when a murderer is made Kaiser, something is definitely WRONG.
Thus, I am in rebellion of the Kaiser, as is the Barony of Hallucination and all of its counties, along with Yardistan and Hyperborea.

Any sort of response from Atterock would require our Baron to actually have safely returned from the Fated War. Which reminds me, I need to bug Ari to respond.

Brookshire is now in rebellion against the Kaiser (why not?), but we do not support this act of secession.

Hmm, I'm not sure I support this kind of secessiony language either.
Anyway, Hyperborea officially vaguely approves of the spirit behind this. even if some of the particulars need ironing out. Also, we officially declare that ziggurat picture to be "rockin'"

Yes, the Steward rebelling? Would be grand, wouldn't it?
I hereby order the Duke of Yardistan to rescind this statement or lose his Ducal crown.

I regret to inform you that's not your choice without the Kaiser's consent.

You, sir, are not Kaiser, merely Steward. Therefore your word on the matter is still at the discretion of the Kaiser.

How about something more like:
We, the undersigned vow to aid one another in defending our home and our honor against Balgurd and its demons. In particular, we vow enmity against the Khan of Vijayanagara, the so-called Kaiser Aurangzeb I, descendant of murderers and demon-worshippers. We sanctify our vow in the the tears of the orphans of Amity, the blood of the elfinishi of Elwynn, and the ashes of all those who have died to keep Shireroth free.
Article One:

Article Two:

We declare our suspicion of Aurangzeb's succession, and of the mental status of Kaiser Gaelen when he named his successor. We demand that Shirekeep release all its data on whether or not Gaelen carried out his promise to descend into Hell, and, if so, what might have happened to him there, for we believe it may bear upon this matter.

Of course, it needs the rockin' ziggurat at the top.

If you want to avoid charges of treason, don't secede. I'm not saying anything about rebellion.

If everyone involved on our side agrees to Scott's proposal, i'll drop mine.

Let's put it like this. Anyone on your side not accepting Scott's proposal will be stripped of any positions they have within Shireroth.

...and promptly get them restored a few weeks later, when everyone's forgotten about all of this. Then we'll spend the next few months thinking, "Wow, that Malliki guy was kinda a jerk during that whole rebellion thing." Then we'll forget about that, too.
And that, Mike, is the difference between Shireroth and Cyberia.

Scott, I just want to remind everyone about the difference between rebellion and treason. I am not the first person taking a hard line against people here, but I'm the only one getting patronized by you.

Actually, I'm pretty sure you
are the first person taking a hard line against this. At least, no one else has been breaking the world landspeed record in filing court cases against me.
But if it makes you feel better, I don't think you should resign as Steward. Delete the post, sleep on the decision, and do it in the morning if you still wanna.

You had no problem with responding with a court case.
So you really mean I can stay as Steward? I really can? Oh thank you thank you thank you! That surely made my day.

I'll sign to the 2nd draft. I have lots of issues with the first. And my Duke... Chill? Seriously. Please? All this is nothing new to Shireroth. Well.. the talk of secession is kinda.. and a little disturbing. But generally speaking, we've done this a whole lot of times. This is how we do referendums, after a fashion here. Some nations would hold a vote, we hold a rebellion. If nothing else this makes good story.
If we fail.. we fail, nothing happens and we got back to work. If we succeed, we get a different Kaiser, and we go back to work. Either way.. We get on with life. So, be cool my friend.
And remember, I'm pulling for you, we're all in this together.

Goodo. Then let's boogie. And I can agree with you on the dislike of the secessionist language, that is now gone.
