The Royal Council

Antiochos sighs...

Just before I wanted to declare the Council Session closed still a new legislation is proposed! Unfortunately, it is needed two people to second this or it will not get to voting!

Also.. Timarchos I suggest you to be careful what you say.. He is still my son and the Heir to the throne!

**00jebus** · 10-03-2008, 22:47

it's a damn shame sir, that we could not just assume the support of the four others here who supported or seconded my proposed CA when it was an edict..

"Timarchos, you make assumptions based on nothing but your own imagination. I recalled my army because I figured I would need it to conquer Pergamon. Remember? I already told you and everyone else here I had planned to take it prior to this Council. The second time it would have been completely unnecessary to send you, since Arrhenides was already on his way there, so to waste time on that would have made absolutely no sense. Your failure to see this just shows what I've been hinting at all the time: you just don't like me because I won't let you have your battles with my army. You want to further yourself as much as possible, and when I remind you that the men you're playing with are actually mine to command, you behave like a child and attack me because of it.

If there was any sense in you, you'd know that the slander I was talking about was still mainly your saying that I am only the heir because I'm the son of the Basileus, when there is absolutely no reason to think so, and it's false. You continue doing this even now, but changing it to the satrapy I got. Yes, it was all merit! Are you really foolish enough to suggest otherwise, when everyone knows how good I am at management? You're making a fool out of yourself as we speak, and should really be ashamed. Really, I dare anyone to take a look at my work and say I haven't done a good job, that I don't have the skills necessary. Anyone with anything resembling a fair and unbiased mind will come to the conclusion that I was indeed the best choice there were, and so I remain.

Your way of ignoring the facts in order to fuel your personal agenda should be blatantly obvious to everyone by now."

**Ibn-Khaldun** · 10-03-2008, 23:11

Now.. Let's calm down! The Session is over!

I also must mention that Sarpedon Syriakos, my son and heir, will become the Chancellor with all of it's duties after the Voting Period ends since there was no one else who proposed himself as a candidate!

*at sarpedon*

I tire of fighting someone so pig-headed.
lets look at the facts, in an unbaised way you claim you are so fond of

defense takes priority over attack, unless attack can remove the need for defense, your royal army was the only force around karkatheria, the georgio-armenian raiding force, is still there to my knowlage... we are loosing a not insignificant amount from their campaigning.
Pergamon has not been taken, dispite your promises
the army is getting paid to, basically, march, instead of fight.

so I was right about what the best use of that army would have been

next you claim I dont like you, to which I respond, nobody cares, you do your job and not stop other people from doing their's, and we would get along fine, I'll even chalk the arrogence upto your youth, and disrespect of free men to simple ignorance of the celtic ways.
please, stop having a tantrum about this.

then, accusing me of behaving like a child is fine, but that army I played with has lost fewer men in the battle I commanded it in than any other single battle by any other commander so far.
and this is politics boy, people who propose bad policies get attacked, stop taking it personally.

therefore, neither accusation is true.
or, as we are being unbaised, I am right.

you've done a good job, in the easiest of circumstance, the satrapy of pahlava is more likely to be attacked, and faces tougher enemies if it is, the majority of your population are greek and by comparison, your satrapy was far more developed than most of the rest of the arche.
so, we both were right.

So I want to further myself, so I have ambition, so what?
the only way you could make this argument is if you were a hermit yourself.
that wont happen, so please, dont bother arguing something that can be rebuffed so easily.

the facts are those.
pehaps you missed them since they dont fit in with your agenda

I responded to your questions, though I should have been more clear when I was directing myself to those in the council who believe sarpedon not to be worthy of the title of Basileus.
