Imperial Diet IV

[GeneralHankerchief]

Conrad Salier:

Duke Arnold, if I second 11.4, will you promise to take your blustering elsewhere? This is growing tiresome especially considering I had thought this conflict resolved.

[Stuperman]

Getting back to real business, I'd like to announce that Lothar Steffen has officially been named the Commander of the BHA, He has also been named Hier to the title of Duke of Bavaria.

[Stig]

For that I wish to congratulate Lothar, I know that often we do not agree, but something like this deserves a congratulation.

[TinCow]

I am most certainly not trying to freeze you out of anything, King Salier, I merely wish to make sure that the law is obeyed. Even if you what you say is true and you cannot utilize the Bavarian House Edicts, by creating these Outremer Edicts, you give all Crusader Counts the same double-legislative abilities that you claim not to have. As for any difficulties you suffer as a result of being limited to only your own personal edict, surely the extra Diet influence you gain as a result of your position is sufficient compensation. What you are trying to do is create a Fifth House in the Reich. Outremer was never intended for such a purpose, but clearly you believe it is. Yet more proof that Outremer is growing to be more powerful and more important than any of the Duchies.

Gentlemen,

von Hamburg and I have had our seconds discuss the issue like gentlemen outside the Diet.

There will be a statement shortly.

And no I don't mean Bane and Grom are crushing Teutons into little pieces. Discussions are really taking place.

With that Arnold depart the Chamber at some speed.

[Kagemusha]

Jonas Von Mahren enters the diet, drunk as a sailor.

"Long live new Kaiser! I heard that we have a new leader, so i thought to visit the diet between few beers. In matter of fact it feels as if the Swabian Kaiser Jobst reign didnt last more then few ale´s. Atleast now we have an Franconian Kaiser and i would propose that as a sign of his politics he would change the capital of the Reich back to Germany. Im personally quite tired of the wenches of Rome!"

Jonas stumbles back into his seat and starts demanding more beer from his servants.

[TinCow]

*Lothar grins.*

It is good to see that there are still some proper Germans of the old-style left in the Diet. Count von Mahren, you should come visit Florence sometime. It is one of my life's ambitions to make sure that my County has the finest drinking establishments in all of Europe!

[Kagemusha]

"I might have to take on that offer Von Steffen! I might stop by in there after leaving this wretched city, where beer is watered down and all you see is different kind of bodyguards fighting each other outside the diet building. Are these duals between henchmen and nobility somekind of new fashion, since my scribe tells me that novadays here in diet all you hear is dual challenges between lords and their wretched foreign mercenaries and other squandrels?"

[AussieGiant]

Christ Sailer what do you want me to do?

Your Crusader Count is flying in the face of all feudal authority. I don't see where I have to do anything but ask him to apologies for the entire thing and have just about ever senior member of the Reich agree with that request.

Second or don't second as you wish King Sailer, I'm not prepared to negotiate about his behaviour considering it's been totally disrespectful since the very beginning.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Conrad Salier:

You could always be the better man and simply not respond. Count von Hamburg has proven his immaturaty by refusing to let the issue go. You could gain even more respect in the Diet by simply ignoring him.
