Now the question is whether or not Methodios will let that happen

**OverKnight** · 10-19-2008, 05:57

Good point, it is Methodios's daughter. We'll see.

Not a chance of that happening...

Power of the Basileus #10, from the rules
(10) Decides which Senator, if any, a Princess should marry.

Worked that out behind closed doors.

Get the Ring ready Tristan

In that case.. I have no chance to get her!

Yes but you'd still have to come and grab her in Egypt...

EDIT : And that power makes sense when and where the Princess is the Basileus own daughter... which in this case she clearly isn't....

Have we finally found out the one thing that will trigger a civil war? Will the woman in love escape an arranged marriage? Which one is greater, a man's loyalty to his king or father's love?

These, and all other questions you may have, will be answered during the next term.

TROJAN WAR II !!!

Unfortunately me and Tristan are on opposite sides of the Empire so I'll have to settle for lopping off her suitors head

**Ibn-Khaldun** · 10-19-2008, 18:59

Fortunately for me I have a fleet and I can get to Methodios' daughter and ask 'her' to marry Theo!

You're right. The rule itself was written probably before we realized that in SS all the girls become princesses. In the spirit of ICness, perhaps you should propose an amendment to change that to the daughter's father. It is a silly rule, you might have some support.

While interesting, retrospective legislation is a hard sell.

We have an interesting case here because, and this IMHO is the crucial point, the Princess, as an agent, is moved by the Megas. Thus, as would be the case in ordering a ceasefire via a diplomat, it's the Megas who must implement the commands of the Emperor. If the next Megas declines to send the Princess to find Andronikos then, well, I guess he will have to just come and get her, eh?

I don't think anyone disputes that the Emp has the right to decide which senator the princess should marry, but he has no right to implement that decision. That is strictly the purview of the Megas, though he must obviously bear the IC consequences of his decisions.

Looking at the current crop of candidates for Megas, however, it may require Methodios running himself to prevent it?

I'm working on a Vissa letter for the senate, but it'll probably not be until tomorrow or late tonight since today is a football day.
