All I've got is a he said this, and he said that. It's one mans word against another mans word. How do you expect us to make a decision on that?

And your blood right is what exactly Hans?

Can you please state that?

**Stig** · 08-01-2007, 14:17

You have bloodright Hans, because that's what we've been using for centuries?
Remember that we decend from the Great Franks. According to their laws everything should be distributed under all male sons of the father, you don't want that do you?

Jan looks at poll numbers while listening to everyone speak and when they are done, gets up.

My lords,

I would like to proclaim that the matter is now legally settled. While I believe the Kaiser is chosen by divine right, not everyone agrees. But a majority, myself included, voted for CA 11.1 and Edict 11.9. A Duke council formed to choose the Kaiser according to CA 11.1 and they have concluded by a majority that Kaiser Siegfried is the Kaiser. Since it was not unanimous, Edict 11.9 called for a Reich-wide vote. And, after looking at poll numbers, a clear majority of the voters have already voted for Kaiser Siegfried. So, Kaiser Siegfried has been legally declared Kaiser of the Reich. I think it would be best now to put this matter behind us.

Thank you

No vote has ended before pre-maturaly, for me little Siegfried doesn't become Kaiser Siegfried till the voting is officially over.

Well, true, the matter is not really over till the poll closes. But there are so many votes in favor of the Kaiser, that it does not matter. Even if every remaining vote voted no or didn't vote, it would not change the eventual outcome. Kaiser Siegfried will be Kaiser.

Conrad Salier:

As much as I hate to say it, bloodright was thrown down the privies when Kaiser Henry ascended to the throne. If I can recall he selected Jobst over you while you were of age. I believe that the selection process now consists of merit and the Kaiser's whim.

Considering I had less than 13 hours to present my evidence to the Ducal council after naming a representative, I would not be surprised if this vote were to end prematurely as well.

Regardless, it may be word against word, but all Dieter has in a forged will I remind you and nothing else to back it up. Why would Jobst have only told him about the choice of heir and not anyone else including Siegfried I ask?

And does the diet not care about Dieters attempts to assassinate our emperor Jobst? Maybe it even sponsored Dieter to do it, considering he needed considerable funds to bribe the Danish rebels to attack the German force led by the German emperor? Afterall it would be highly unlikely for one man, Dieter, to have accumulated such wealth for this with the Danes in an internal struggle and unwilling to start another war and the English our close allies ever since? Would it not beckon anyone that the only other sponsor thus would be a German noble or the traiterous French?

I am truly surprised that the diet would remain so steadfast behind Siegfried due to this snake's words that will throw our empire into doom instead of reports gathered from ever since my chancellorship investigation into this matter as well as living witnesses who can confirm this chain of events.
Perhaps I should forge Jobst's will as well with no consequence?

This is truly apalling.
