Shireroth

Anyone interested in running has 48 hours to declare official intent to hold the position of Prætor. After 48 hours, the official elections shall begin.

Mike nominated me, I accepted. So I guess put me on the docket. I encourage others to put their shoe in.. I assume Jonas is auto entered in this.

You, Sir, are a feckin' legend!
Anyone who appreciates the power of the æ deserves true gratitude.
But tell me... do you spell archæology, pædophile and enclopædia correctly as well?

As for the position of Prætor... I don't even know what it is or what it does. That's what being a petty dictator in some outback province does to you, I guess...

Archæology and encyclopædia, yes. I don't really ever haveon to write down pædophile, though...

Well... try and find a use for as many letter æs as you can in the next Kaiserial Decree.
That way it's sure to crop up!

Sounds like something for next Fishday

Prætor is the correct spelling too.

The Danes spell things like "præsident", "repræsentant", and "renæssance"

I like it

Your Majesty, Kaiser of All -- is it still your intention to hold an election? I realize that I may be a bit late, but... here goes.

To solve the present crisis, we keep Jonas windsor as Praetor or we do not. If he is praetor, then he has those prerogatives that he by tradition and law holds. And we ought to respect that. If the Landsraad doesn't like the way he does his job, it's the Landsraad's right to elect a new one. And a new one should be elected if the Landsraad is displeased with how the Praetor is performing.

If the Landsraad so holds that Jonas Windsor no longer is to remain praetor, I recommend and nominate Lord Nordland to be the next praetor. He has for several years led the Council of State in Stormark, a council that holds semi-legislative powers. As such he is accustomed to the ways of legislative process. He has also served Stormark as emperor, contributing to his knowledge of how to advise and be advised.

You'll have to remind me who you are talking about...

Informally known as "Harald"

Gotcha. Does he want it?

Yes, I do.

Would you uphold the power and protections of the Landsraad, and be against the establishment of Democracy and Rights in Shireroth. And support the general absolute power of the Kaiser?

And support the general absolute power of the Kaiser?

*-except when he (the Kaiser) really wanted to do something that the Powers weren't thrilled with.......?

Jake.. take it somewhere else...

I would like to nominate Nathan, Baron of Iserdia, for the position of Prætor.

Yes, I would. For that is is what Shireroth stands for and makes this Nation unique.

Jake.. take it somewhere else...

OK.
By your command.....

I drop out of the race.

Nate, you interested? You seem a decent fellow, and if the other Dukes agree I'd rather like to try to bind you to Shireroth by forcing an important responsibility upon you

With Erik having dropped out of the race, I hereby officially endorse Harald for Prætor.

I would be honored to serve in such a prestigious and important role as Prætor of the Landsraad. It would indeed cleave me unto the bosom of Shireroth. And Shireroth is a buxom lady, worthy of my cleaving.

Oh. I like this. Nathan vs. Harald.

Edit: Err... yes, and probably me.

I presume you have the vote of yourself/you Duke once Andreas takes over.

So.. Ari endorses Nate, Mike Hearld, and Jonas himself...

2 dukes left unheard from. it's a 1-1-1 way tie at the moment.

Technically, the nominaton period is over. We have running:

Jonas (incumbent)
Harald of Froyalan
Nathan of Natopia

This election shall be brought to the Landsraad forthwith.

Ah, yes. Inclusion, participation.

I endorse Jonas (surprise), but I feel all the candidates are good and interesting.

(Makes popcorn, fetches beverage, finds seat. Waives "Jnas" pennant.)

Jonas and I are in discussions of a. Whether he'll be running and b. Who's voting.

I commend the Kaiser the use of the ranking system for this vote.
