[OOC] This thread is for players in the King of the Romans PBM to post in character public deliberations in the Imperial Diet. All out of character debate should be conducted in the OOC thread.
The Diet has two main functions: to elect a Chancellor, who manage the Empire, and to pass Edicts that will direct the Chancellor.
The Diet will be chaired by the Kaiser or the Diet Speaker. The Prinz may deputise if both are unavailable.
Edicts need to be formally proposed as follows:
Edict 11.1This House directs the Chancellor to occupy Hamburg.
where 11.1 refers to the first proposed edict of the eleventh session of the Diet.
Edicts need two seconders (who should explicitly use the word "second" when supporting a motion) before they can be put to the vote. Where edicts conflict, the one with more votes takes precedence.
