    A truth that borders on treason, as it were. In either rate, he is not the emperor yet, so he is merely being called a murderer of his father's people.

    Makedonios listens to the people argue over the Caesar with mild amusement.

    Alright, lets settle down a little. While I would have picked slightly more... diplomatic language than my Sergeant, the Senate is the proper place to voice dissent.

    As for the Caesar murdering his own people, I do find him guilty of "criminal neglect." My complaints are well documented so I will be brief. The Caesar illegally starved the armies of the Order of men. This caused us to take higher casualties than normal when we had to defeat the Jihad heading towards the capital. So, because of his actions, or lack of action, more people died than probably would have normally.

    I won't go so far to call him a murderer because I do not think he was trying to kill our soldiers on purpose. I think he was simply trying to hurt his political opponents and the Jihad just happened to come along while he did it. But his actions were neglectful, as well as criminal. Because he broke our "rules" when he neglected those armies. Rules that are "supposed" to be sacrosanct.

    As for who gets banned, that is up to the Emperor. I am confident he will let us know when someone crosses a line.

    And I must add that the Caesar should not his politics get the first sway in things. The good of the Empire should always come above the good of your self, and you should not get too presumptuous.

    Would it be insulting if I asked you whether you were truly your brother's brother? Because what you have just said, Andronikos, is more or less what he's been doing.

    Aleksios looks around and shakes his head.

    Considering that we have an unprecedented tied election on our hands, I would think the Electors would have something better to do than slander my son.

    Let us focus on the matter at hand.

    Dear Sirs, the next man to insult our Ceasar, shall face my wrath.

    I implore everyone to realise what a sham the "Order" is and realise that the only way forward is Savvas.

    Ioannis gets up with an irritated frown

    And what, pray, constitutes your wrath?

    I tire of your petty threats to Senators of the Empire. I tire of all these personal insults and this squabbling. For crying out loud, you are grown men, nobles and tasked with running a government. If you cannot face this task with some of the required maturity perhaps you should ask to be replaced with men more suited to the position.

    Andronikos looks around, unsure as of what to do. he had many messages strewed about his person, all giving conflicting advice. Sighing, he stood.

    Though I may not agree with his methodes, The Caesar is my brother, and I will support him with my life. That does not mean that I will support those he supports, or condone his selfish actions. And I wholeheartedly agree with the Basileus, we must successfully consolidate the holds we currently have before we do anything too drastic. Hold what we have, overcome our current enemies, and stop our useless babbling about past matters. What is done is done.

    Sitting back down, Andronikos busied himself with organising the papers he had disturbed by standing.

    The Protoasecretes dozes in a corner of the chamber, blissfully unaware that he should have opened up voting hours ago. A timid looking aide tries to wake him, but the old man groggily brains him with his staff of office and falls back asleep. Whimpering, the aide makes his way to the Basileus and whispers something. Aleksios rolls his eyes but speaks:

    Very well, I will close debate. Voting may now commence on the second round of the Election for Megas Logothetes.

    The polls will be open for 48 hours.
