Shireroth

My reign is coming to an end, brothers and sisters of Shireroth.I've had fun being Kaiser here, it was a new and exhilirating experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, like being a Kaiser for reaffirming your enthusiasm and love for Shireroth and the way we do things here. I heartily recommend it.However, I'm beginning to lose steam. Real life is pressing down a bit hard, what with exams and people and other things that Shireroth, being part of a higher plane, must sometimes play second fiddle to. I'm happy, now that I've instituted a major change, to become a private citizen once more, leaving the heavy mantle of leadership to someone else.But in my short-sightedness, or perhaps my wisdom (humour me), I have failed to appoint an heir during my short-ish tenure as Kaiser here. Thus I call for what is becoming the traditional Expressions of Interest.If you have a wish to become Kaiser, a desire to serve your nation to its fullest, are willing to devote yourself only to Shireroth for a few months, then I want you to tell me about it. I want people's plans for what they'd do if they were Kaiser. Think of it as one of those themed essays, with the grand prize being that the winner gets to actually be Kaiser. I would like these submissions in my private message box by the weekend. Then, I will consider who shall take my place as leader of this great nation.Thank you all for a fun two months, and get those submissions in!

Me! Me!---But alas, the discriminatory laws will make sure that no Elwynnese ever sits on the throne *cries* (tears make the Elwynn overflow, floods in Shirekeep as a result)

What "discriminatory laws"? Viatax Sitadi Axdivijink Regigoraauk

The "discriminatory laws" that mean Ric cares less about Shireroth than about some other backwater, Jeesee or something like that..

They don't mean that I don't care about Shireroth. For what it's worth, I may care more about Shireroth than anyplace else, but the fact is that I may care about other places too But I like being a duke, so never mind

Nevertheless, it's hardly "discriminatory" to expect devotion to Shireroth from the person who's ruling it. If they can't give up their other citizenships, just for a few months perhaps, to rule here, then I wouldn't want them ruling here.

And somebody took my joke a bit too seriously...

I will mourn your passing... There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

I can quite safely say that I have no other citizenships.when you give my my rightful place as over lord of these lands, I will start a cruel and terrible dictatorship, such that, in a few months, you will be unable to concieve of a time when the my magnificent presence was above you. and the Jeecee will no longer be a worry to you. If you feel an icy chill...the Conglacio is amongst you

just a reminder.. you CAN be a duke and a Kaiser at the same time.... There is no law against it.. and several years of precedent behind it... E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

It just SOUNDS good. But otherwise, I think I'm going to haul out my "things to do when I'm Kaiser" list...

Dave, you'd also probably have to re-immigrate. Viatax Sitadi Axdivijink Regigoraauk

So true... There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Your pitiful laws will not stop me! If you feel an icy chill...the Conglacio is amongst you

Alas, the whole "laws don't stop me" thing only applies after you become Kaiser, not before..Tis sweet though..Keep those applications a-coming, peoples..

Ric Lyon:Go for Kaiser, you'd be great. And plus, since Antica rejected me and Cromdell is officially dead, I have but one citizenship -Shireroth, so I am your only eligible successor :P

As I usually do at this time of month - I humbly put my hat in the ring, because by George we need some new blood in this place!

It would have been better if you were actually active in the nation. You'd have to abandon the Grand Commonwealth, too.

Hey! I like being the lurker in the back that just watches. I think it makes me even more qualified!

Yes.. but your loyalties to the GC would kinda be a problem.And bill.. Activity != loyalty/careing about the nation. I spend several months lurking.. and being inactive.. does that mean I loved Shireroth any less? E. Metzler (UEC)Duke of Brookshire"Never use a BOO/\/\ist as a diplomat" -- GSClicky Clicky..., Tiss for your own good ya know.

Well having no position of authority in the GC doesn't make me much of a threat does it?

No, you don't seem to get it. You'd have to LEAVE the GC. There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Yeah, after my antics as Mog, no one wants a dual-citizenship Kaisership anymore. Viatax Sitadi Axdivijink Regigoraauk

baaaaad Fax. *wags finger* There are no flowers, no not this time. There will be no angels gracing the lines, just these stark words I find.

Actually Erik, I would say yes - you lost enough interest (which can be equated to love..) for Shireroth, therefore you left - which can be equated to inactivity.
