Sanguis Astroism

[Woelfy]

If you're going to have one person control your entire realm as a single duchy, you should be prepared to face the consequences.

If we've learned anything, it's to not trust the people that realms are named after.

[DamnTaffer]

Especially when that one person is known to be hilariously unstable.

You mean being comicly insane isn't a required trait to be a leader on this game? ...God I miss Norland

[Solari]

In other, more directly-related-to-IC news, a Magistratum is being rustled up against Allison. Again. Only this time, the composition of the Elders is rather less hospitable toward her.

[dustole]

The vote for a Magistratum failed already.  It is impossible for them to gain sufficient votes to fulfil the rules for calling a Magistratum.

[Indirik]

I'm not sure how you came to that conclusion. For non-theocratic issues, there are no specific criteria for the votes. The vote sits at 4-3. If it ended today, that's a vote *for* a trial.

[dustole]

I am accused of interfering in a holy and sacred election.  That seems rather theocratic to me.   If it weren't a Theocratic issue Mordaunt could have simply called for a magistratum without a vote.

[Indirik]

Theocratic issues refers to things like Heresy and matters of theology (as is explained in the Charter). Charges of bribery, corruption, and forgery are not matters of theology. And Mordaunt doesn't really know the Charter. It seems that many of the Elders have never read the Charter, or seem to think the Charter says something other than what it really says.

Or know it very well, and are happy to run roughshod over it in order to get at Allison.

...From what he's just said, it sounds like their misuse of the Charter, whether through ignorance or choice, is actually delaying them in "getting at Allison."

[Daycryn]

It's not so much about knowledge of the Charter (Brance does know it well, as does Rabisu) as opinions regarding this specific kerfuffle (Brance is in favor of a Magistratum, Rabisu is not). Many things influence opinions. It's kinda funny to see anti-Allison conspiracies alleged... I remember when Glaumring (et al) saw pro-Allison "cabals" conspiring too. She's just a controversial character, evoking high emotional tensions is all.

We're not organized enough to be a conspiracy.

There's just a pretty large group of people who really hate her.

[Glaumring the Fox]

The Magisterium is a joke.

Even people who just hear rumours tend to dislike her. I honestly don't think I've ever seen a single good thing written about Allison.

[Indirik]

She can be very effective in assembling support for her goals. She is very influential, and very capable of handling the dirty jobs. She gets things done.

Heresy!!!

Call a Magisterium!
