Apologies

We here at the View apologize for the recent disruption in publication. Friday was the birthday of the editor's father. Forty-five years old and still going... congratulations, dad, you're not older than dirt yet! :p

Landsraad in Recess

The mandatory recess of the Landsraad began on October 2nd, with all remaining bills put on hold until the resumption of the session in October 9th. This includes only the Mooses are Friends, Not Food Act, which, due to an extension granted by the Pr�tor just before recess, will have the vote closed on... er, what was it, the 12th? Yeah, something like that.

Hallo, Brunhilda!

In an oddly-named post in MiniImNat, a newcomer named Brunhilda the Great applied for citizenship on Saturday. As her place of residence has, as yet, been undetermined (she thought perhaps "some place cold to resemble my ancestor's home"), a bloody competition over her has begun between the majority of the subdivisions.

We anticipate some heavy hitting being exchanged. Stay with us for further reports!

No More Amarr?

Baron Rakesh of Amarr, only a short time after the creation of his Barony, has requested (in the thread at http://p211.ezboard.com/fshirerothfrm101.showMessage?topicID=4.topic) that it be dissolved, due to lack of time for getting it established from scratch. While the Duke of Brookshire is reportedly considering the idea, there is a complication in that Rakesh wishes to remain a Baron.

As a Baron without a Barony is a highly unusual situation, there is a question of the legality of the request. Some insiders believe that the Duke will ask the Kaiser for advice if there is no readily seen answer to the dilemma.

We're Official, Sucka!

In Imperial Proclamation R6, His Majesty Kaiser Raynor XI today made the View From Benacia the officially recognized paper of Shireroth. Muhahahaha! The power, THE POWER! WE SHALL CONTROL THE MASSES! W00T!
