"The only problem being that Caesar has not murdered anyone. This slander does not have any kind of proof behind it. These two men have just shown that their personal hatred of Caesar for reasons unknown has made them spread lies and they should be punished for it."
Ja Mata Tosainu Sama.
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.

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.

A note at the entrance of the Magnaura.
The following have been accepted for the position of Scholar in the University of Constantinople for the period of 1125 to 1140.
- Strator Andronikos Komnenos
- Comes Methodios Tagaris
- Hypatos Armatos ek Naksou
- Hypatos Ioannis Kalameteros
- Ceasar Ioannis Komnenos
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.

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.

To get back to the task at hand,
I proclaim my support for the Grandmaster Makedonios Ksanthopoulos.
TosaInu shall never be forgotten.
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.

TosaInu shall never be forgotten.
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.
