Hah, they only wish. The great thing about being Kaiser is that nobody can take the office away from you.

I don't necessarily see a legal case for impeachment either. Sure, what Henry might do isn't really nice, but as we have learned on numerous occasions, Kaisers really don't care for nice. They'll do whatever they please so long as it's legal.

Perhaps if the Kaisers keep thinking that, they'll stroll into the Diet one day to find an amendment turning the whole thing into the HRR... the Holy Roman Republic.

I assume if that happens the faction leader would take on the role of the German equivalent of Princeps Senatus?

Just a note to say I have updated the playlist table with the new avatars. We now have six spare (sorry, Austria - they are 5 Franconians and one 50 year old Swabian).

I'm inclined to leave them as resurrection vessels for elderly ~~cylons~~ characters, although I would prefer a more even division across the houses. Otherwise in 20 turns time Dutch_guy and the House of Franconia may be like the old woman and the shoe.

Ituralde and Kagemusha - I think it is time to start working on the in character switch of the von Mahren line to Austria. If it helps any, Jonas has landed in Northern Greece alone with only his bodyguards and is moving to rendezvous with Duke Leopold who is crossing the border form Ragusa, en route to Thessalonica. I am not sure if you want to take Jonas to Thessalonica - I'd be inclined to leave him to guard Austria (given you are bypassing the closer Venetian settlement) but it's your collective call. I could not get a young von Mahren on the Thessalonica expedition in time, although I am working on it.

The most recent news regarding our fine Kaiser and Chancellor troubles me deeply.

My dear electors, if the Chancellor oversteps his power in any way, or performs any actions harming any Generals or our relations with the Pope, I urge you to move towards his impeachment. I am a mere merchant, but I know what is good and what is bad for the Reich.

Maximillian von Tyrolia, 5th Elector of Austria, from Gaza.

I think you are taking some OOC stuff and fiddling it into character. The recent stories posted are all confidential and only those involved know about them, no other. As such, a sudden call for impeachment of the chancellor is more than questionable.

whoops sorry, i didnt realize that the stories were secrets.

Once the excom threat is over I think the Swabian army is going to just go berserk in France either sacking or killing every city until another excom threat pops up. Due to the fact that the kaiser and chancellor is in the levant, maybe there could be some power struggle here going on.
