Alright, alright, seeing as how things are too confusing in the other decree, I am henceforth revoking the first and seventh clauses in Imperial Decree #217.

Thereby meaning I retain the Throne.

I shall be stepping down on Friday, just to make people aware. And I've decided that the process that Los, Alejian, and Yarad used before me was an effective one. Therefore: send me your propositions for what you'd do as Kaiser to jfrraine#gmail,com and I shall choose the one that I feel will be best for the nation. Since my last day on the Throne will be Friday, make sure you get your propositions to me by Thursday night so I can mull them over.

Might I also remind you that any citizen, provided they have no other citizenships, is eligible for this position; that does not mean, however, that I have to choose someone who hasn't been on the Throne prior. I will remind you also that my job, first and foremost, is the embetterment of the nation as a whole, and I will choose my successor as per what I believe will be best for the nation.

I apologize for the inconvenience, the confusion, et al. I probably should have talked that over with people before I'd done it, considering how out-there it was

It wasn't *that* out there, really, it's just no one undersood what you were planning in a practical sense. I thought it was quite ingenious personally...

I thought so too. But alas. We move forward.

At least you didn't remove the other parts of the decree.

It's too bad it had to come to this, though.

You should always talk things over with some number of people, preferably people who know what is going on and who can calm the populace.
