Imperial Decree #398: The End

Well, seeing that this is going to be my last decree, I might as well drop the character... I'll be speaking as ari from now on.

That experiment was fun for a while. The completely in-character kaisership worked... until I stopped feeling creative. Well, not that you need much creativity for it, but I'm the kind of guy who exhausts his pool quickly and then has to wait a looong time for it to replenish. Seriously. My cities in SC4 start with some ridiculously unique idea and run with it for as long as it takes to build it, after which they fall to patterns.

It's a shame, really, because the response was awesome. People kept making excellent throws at me that could have been spun into excellent storylines - I would have caught them except, you know, I kept trying to think of creative and unique responses and kept coming up dry... still, FWIW, I found that the separate Kaiserial persona thing did work pretty well for roleplaying purposes, especially since I had an active ministry to take care of at the same time.

So, being that the nation is getting shaken up nicely, and that it seems I'm not feeling like continuing the experiment of this kaisership, and that I promised a passive-aggressive douchebagish response to the current situation... might as well combine all of the fun in a single decree.

My word is the law, and this is decree 398: I hereby abdicate the throne of Shireroth to my trusted steward, The Khan of Vijayanagara. Long may he reign!
