Careful, it's addicting. In my own experience, there's no other political forum like it in the entire game. It's multi-realm (twelve realms and counting!), and open to all full members, of which there are currently 70. Granted, when things heat up keeping up with the message traffic can be a full time job, but it's just so much *fun*.

It's way cooler than the 'Moot. Yeah, that's right. I said it.

I love Magistratum trials.  I face them somewhat regularly.  I always seem to win.  :)  I am confident that I will win this Magistratum as well.  When that is over I will run for the Regency.  If that doesn't piss off my enemies within SA I don't know what will.

And I'll probably run for Consul. And if anyone plays the "haven't been around long enough" card, I will tell them to bugger off. I think six months plus OOCly, and watching the discussions as well as being involved in the latest one gives me some qualification. Plus there is that pilgrimage in D'Hara I'm on right now as well.

Might be tough.  I am lining up my 3 Consuls now and going to campaign to get them in.  In the past I have been able to easily get 2 Consuls elected.  This will be the first time I will try for 3. 

I am finding people who will support Allison as Regent and then I will put all of my influence and political might behind getting them elected as Consul.  If my election math is right, I just need to get 1 Consul elected that will support Allison and I have enough other votes in the SA Council to get me elected as Regent.

Eoghan's going to try running again this time, too.  Hard to garner support when I've no real idea how to play politics; I could always point fingers at everyone else and say "Look at all those guys, they're crazy!  Vote for me, I'm the reasonable one!"

Of course.  I'm trying to make you like Allison.  She needs your votes for other Consuls!   :)  The more people that run the better chance I have of getting my 3 in.  Splits up the votes.

To the 'Moot's credit, it is the subject of much discussion in general, IC.  Kudos on that.

Nowadays, perhaps.

But all other instances of wounding fail to cause great damage in the vast majority of cases (unless context dictates otherwise, such as a ruler needing to negotiate with others). The number of generals who lose those positions for any period of time (and who don't have an alt as vice-marshal) is probably infinitely small.

Wouldn't that be the point. Random stabbing shouldn't has disastrous effects. Stabbing the right person at the right time, that is a whole different matter.

The pointer hovered over there for a few seconds. I almost twitched.

Wimp.

You could do a lot more than just demote, you know  ;)


Never mind, noticed she still has that priestly protection there.

Hmm, perhaps a change that could be done for priests to be able to be kicked out of their religion is if they are kicked out they preach local folklore or whatever it is that the standard religion is for a region before any priest preaches there.

Your responses are fairly neutral.  I am saving my remarks for those that I can more easily disprove.
