Argh,... so many battle reports not written yet... need to read them... Pls?
There's really no criminal code written into the rules. If someone really breaches protocol in the Diet, I guess an edict could be proposed to punish him. Censure or revocation of voting rights for a bit? Being sent as an Imperial messenger into Mongol lands?
I'm glad you're having fun nazgul. . .but you will not find the Emperor as forgiving as I am. . .
i guess this is a first huh? oh well i am glad everyone else will fun at the expence of my expulsion....hmm maybe i will flee and then write a 3 cantos and call it La Divinia Commedia around 3000 AD and in the Inferno i will place the Kaiser in the devils mouth lol...oh and u will be there too duke :)
*all in good fun of course*
Speaking of treason there could be a few members up on that charge. The Diet of today is nothing like back then. We haven't even got to the English Nobility signing the Magna Carta yet so I would think the Emperor has absolute rule along with the other monarchy's of Europe.
We have some very outspoken advisors to the Emperor in this Diet. Maybe we are just taking advantage of his warm hearted nature.
Well. . .Dietrich von Saxony, in his first incarnation, after an outburst of sedition, was sent out to build watchtowers by the Kaiser, of course he was Chancellor at the time and could move the avatar in the game. It was internal exile if you will.
Remember that the advancement of your character in the Duchy is tied to the Duke. If you make the Duke look bad by threatening the Kaiser (the guy who decides who gets what for land), he's not likely to promote your avatar, when you get one, or assign him a command. Truth can be spoken to power, but power can stomp on the speaker. :laugh4:
Granted the Diet is in flux at the moment, and Otto has been unable to establish his authority as Duke. But if things settle down and Otto makes it through, well he's not likely to want this sort of behavior.
Edit: True Northnovas, but if the PBM was a true monarchy it would be boring for everyone except the Kaiser.
The Emperor can definitely NOT prevent him from voting in the next election. If he suddenly has that power, he could simply exercise it on anyone who disagrees with him. RP it however you want, but GH can't do anything beyond what is allowed to him by law. The only people that have any ability to penalize an Elector are his Duke and the Chancellor. Even then, the Chancellor can only manipulate his avatar, which doesn't apply in this case. So, if the Emperor wants to punish an Elector without an avatar, he'll have to do it by exercising influence over that Elector's Duke.
yea u are right about that...but then i dont think the diet would be as fun
oh thats not good either...i aint exactly in league with the my new duke atm lol
Edit: True Northnovas, but if the PBM was a true monarchy it would be boring for everyone except the Kaiser.
Very very true and the Diet is the only way to get involved when waiting for an avatar. It helps you feel like your participating in some aspect of the game so the real absolute rule can't work.
I think the Emperor pressuring a Duke would be the best way to handle a cheeky remark to the Kaiser. That way it can be dealt with in the respective Houses especially if the Duke is wishing to expand his House.
Yeah, I see your point, guys.
Otto. Chop chop. :grin:
lmao!!!!!! @ GH :help: :help: :help:
good sport sir...Cheer! :yes: :yes:
In the Charter, I believe the Emperor has the duty of maintaining order in the Diet. I modelled the role on the UK Parliamentary speaker. The latter has the power to expel Members of Parliament from the Chamber for using "unParliamentary" language - most commonly calling another MP a liar. To get back in, expelled members have to apologise to the Speaker. I think we should adopt that protocol. It's purely a matter of form and maintaining a certain standard of verbal exchange - it would not be abused to try to rig a vote by expelling the opposition, for example.
Well I hope Otto has dealt with matter effectively enough in-House, but if it continues, we could use that econ21.
Yes, and Section 3.3 was purely a matter of being able to defend the Empire effectively, but here we are. :laugh4:
That is an entirely different matter. . .:beam:
Otto has been very polite in the Diet, if not in the field.
Feel free to set up a war crimes tribunal if you have the 2/3 majority for it. :2thumbsup:
I think that Dietrich is happy that this circus of an Diet is moving into Rome.:laugh4: We have had Chancellors storming the Diet with Teutonic knights and electors threatening Kaisers life. Im sure that it will be a good day for poor Dietrich when the Diet finally packs its scrolls and moves to beutifull Italy.:smash:
Hey now, those Teutons were there for my protection.
As if you had been in any Danger in Franconian capital?Other then maybe from Polish that payed us a little visit.:clown:
Hmm... so now that the Diet is in the Kaiser's jurisdictions... any electors feels like threatening his life? :D
How do we handle the switch? Does the next session open in Rome? Does the Kaiser have the authority to move the capital? Will we move the capital in the game?
I'm not riding all the way to Rome. It's very far from Hamburg. The Kaiser can move his seat there, but does he have the power to tell the Diet where to assemble? If yes, I'm boycotting!
Oh, and all the pomp and ceremonies that comes with moving a capital?
Well my sentence has been handed down :wall: ...i do hope everyone has enjoyed themselves in these turn of events :beam: I know i have
i mean no disrespect btw to any of u just thought it would be fun
I think we Franconians can send letters to him there.~;) Im not going to run up and down half the continent all the time. Specially with Dietrichs advanced age. I understand that Kaiser wants to rest his old bones in the warmth of the Italy altough.:holiday:Quote:

It doesn't say anywhere in the Charter that the Diet has to reside in the Capital of the Empire. In fact it doesn't say anything where the Diet has to assemble. Just wanted to throw that in. :yes:
Ofcourse Ichigo.:yes: Just tell us what house you would like to join and Econ21 will put you in there.:smash: Ituralde.In that case maybe we should propose the next Diet to be held for example somewhere in Eastern Poland or Dalmatia. Little more action on the Diet sessions.:clown:Quote:
