Shireroth

I bid the Khan and his party honor this:

Salve Jacobus Dux, Imperator! Ave, Slayer of Balder! Hail to thee O Herald of the Ragnarok and the Gotterdamerung! The bakhsh of Vijayanagara do willingly render thee homage and fielty and profer their swords for use in your service to whatever ends you may deem fit for the greater glory and profit of all concerned.

In the spirit of fraternity and malevolence, greetings and best wishes!

Given this seventh day of Azar in the year 1386 in the city of Vijayanagara, Lesser Zjandaria, Elwynn.

Bakhshdar & Khan

I call him to this remembrance, and I call his sword to My Service!

There will be cool military stuff. I will need our most devious martial mind!

1. The Khan is not Kaiser, I am, Therefore you can address me.

2. I am not from Elwynn, I am Hyperborean

3. Your claim is not recognized as legitimate

4. I reclaimed Eura for Babkha, I intend to do something similar for Shireroth once you concede defeat.

5. There is no point five

oops

1- You are not Kaiser. I am.

1- You are not Kaiser. I am.

I believe thats a mater of opinion

2- Your claim, although amusing, is invalid under Shirerithian law and custom.

Once again, the charter is suspended

3- I address the Khan, as he is stronger than you, and Babkhans respect power and honor. You attempt one while besmirching the other.

You have no authority to dictate to me my own custom.

4- You have a short period to reflect, before your County will be vacant!

Depends on the outcome doesn't it? you could remove me from my seat, but that would counter activity wouldn't it?

I vote for who ever wins!

I'm not entirely sure how this can be decided without the approval one way or another by you Erik. I mean, unless you step in, Shireroth will be a house divided.

True.

I withdraw the statement. Expecting constancy and the honoring of given word is a failing.

I'm sure one side or the other would eventually gain enough support to hold the throne...

It's not over. Many influential citizens have yet to be heard from.

And I'll still fight tooth and nail to see Loki II as Kaiser. I have more arguements to pull out if need be. It might not be pretty, but it's for Shireroth, and that is always a noble cause.

Kaiser Loki, I find your attacks against Kaiser Jayatar worrying and counterproductive. In particular, your threats to take away his county, your constant accusations against his loyalty, and this disingenuous attempt to hold him to a promise rendered by a different Babkhan in different circumstances all surprise me.

If I understand Shireroth correctly, our political factionalization, on the rare cases when it happens, is mostly a game. Genuine attacks on someone else's character cross the line. I admit that Jayatar's Babkhan ties are troublesome, and I would have no problem if you were to mention that they are troublesome, but to accuse him of outright being a Babkhan stooge is going too far. And threatening to take away his county for opposing you is going much too far.

I was not attacking his actual character. When that was written, I thought his candidacy was a joke along the lines of M. Penisberg,(because at the time he did not qualify), and reacted in mock-angry-Kaiser fashion. I edited most of that, but missed that one. Sorry.

I am disappointed that the Khan professed loyalty, throws his sword at my feet, and then supports a rival.

I should have goen heavy on the emoticons, but I was about to loose my connection.

Two kaisers? I'm a short time not in Shireroth... and we have two kaisers?

My head...

Jacobus, you're still using insults and attacks as a tactic. Its a bit uncouth.

I would put it more along the lines of discontent. Dropping your Babkhan citizenship simply to qualify for Kaisership worries my liege and I.

That's a mis-representation of the truth, although I can understand your concern. But as I've said before, there was a time when a good portion of Shireroth was also Babkhan and vice versa. That's the Shireroth that I remember, at the height of its power. My history in micronations has typically been Babkhan, but that doesn't make me any less loyal to Shireroth than Jacobus and his Cyberian background. It's the nature of the beast in a hobby of around 30 active people. Babkha has no interests in Shireroth other than seeing it prosper as a peer. It was only a month ago that Benkern nearly became Babkha's Grand Vizier, and while there were some jokes about his Shirerothian background, there was never a question as to his professionalism to keep the two separate. Besides, if I was Kaiser and I managed to do something treasonous in front of the entire country, it really would not be that difficult to remove me. Fortunately that isn't my aim, my aim is to see Shireroth return to its right place as a leader in the sector. If there circumstance ever came about where Shireroth's and Babkha's influences conflicted, I would pick Shireroth hands down, its my micronation.

I regret that, as Kaiser Jayatar has, in his wisdom, threatened to violate the honour of my favourite hunting dog, I must confess that under these circumstances I cannot honour my vows with maximum effectiveness...

C'est la vie.

As my friend Admiral Quirk is wont to say,

KHAAAANN!!!!!!!!

Seti Alpha 5? But this is Seti Alpha 6!
