Shireroth

I would like your approval to put this up in the Noble Commons.. this is quoted directly from there...

alright... did the renaming, this is a tentative contract and when hypatia and krasniy and i all agree on it i'll new topic in the contracts sub-forum groovy? here goes....

------------------------------------------------------

We hereby sign our names as lords of our realms in order better bind and strngthen our lands in common purpose.

Our signatures hereby decree that our lands are now one under the name of Barony Vorpmadal and therefore subject to its laws as well as essential to creating them.

Also, by our signatures agree, that we are not only of Barony Vorpmadal, within Duchy Kildare, within the Empire of Shireroth, but that the Barony of Vorpmadol is of us.

-----------------------------------------------------
(and then we post as our signatures eh?)

Just say the word and I'll be there

thats makes 2 votes of four, the other two are both hypatias cause shes our duchess and the custodian of Kitanus Fields. then we'll put it up. if you see hypatia online let her know about this k? thanks.

This works. Keep in mind it doesn't outline anything about a county leaving or anything special like the line of succession, but it's fine if you're fine with it.

i left it all-encompassing because i trust the people of our duchy. ive met you, from krasniy i get nothing but groovy vibes and although bill is zealous about shireroth, he can be reasoned with and doesnt have the feel of a nasty, malicious grudge holder.

so, i wrote it all pretty and "higher purpose" because thats what i feel my barony, as well as our duchy, should live up to. the grand, the noble, and wonderfully nutty existance that micronationalism can provide.

However, if you, or anyone concerned or more experienced at this sort of thing have any suggestions, i welcome them anxiously.

Well, you see, a Feudal Contract is supposed to basically be a constitution for your fiefdom. While an all-encompassing contract is fine, just keep in mind that it should at least say the powers of the noble of the fiefdom, et cetera.

Bil, I would say that unless stated otherwise, the Baron is the absolute ruler over the Barony. If someone wants to leave or has some other problem, it's up to the Baron's discretion, or else it gets taken to the Duke/Duchess or Provost to arbitrate.

i looked at a couple of the other contrcts and am reconsidering. So.. i'll post a more ROBUST contract within the week

lets try this?

------------------------------------------------------

We hereby sign our names as lords of our realms in order better bind and strngthen our lands in common purpose.

Our signatures hereby decree that our lands are now one under the name of Barony Vorpmadal and therefore subject to its laws as well as essential to creating them.

Upon the agreement of this contract The Baron of Vorpmadal shall be H4773r 3ls0n. Whom shall rule henceforth until he deems neccessary to name a succesor. All future Baron's of Vorpmadal shall follow this model.

Under this contract all who live within the bounds of the Barony of Vorpmadal are expected to serve thier superiors without question, but not un-thinkingly, within the code of chivalry as set by the feudal model.

Within Barony Vorpmadal whomever is found being pissy, flaming, or a total asshole (true definition is to be defined by whomever regulates the subforum within Barony Vorpmadal) without just cause, will be subject to a punishment to be decreed by the Baron and Counts of the Barony.
Should the offender be the Baron the Counts must unanymously agree and then decree punishment. Should the Baron refuse, without just cause, an appeal to the duke shall be made.
Should the offender be a Count the Baron shall decide punishment, within reason as agreed upon by the other Counts.

Having stated the above as an official law of Barony Vorpmadal we also agree to encurage new ideas and stories but also to cultivate minds and guide them down the path of knowledge, wit, wisdom, and a little "Lunesy."

Heed, by our signatures agree, that we are not only of Barony Vorpmadal, within Duchy Kildare, within the Empire of Shireroth, but that the Barony of Vorpmadol is of us.

-----------------------------------------------------

it has a touch to it that doesnt sound totally democratic and i feel it can be worked adequately...

Approved by me.

Looks good to me too.

Huzzah, see contract subforum in noble commons...
