Sir Txec dal Nordselvă, UrB

Quote from: Baron Alexandreu Davinescu on June 01, 2022, 05:05:58 PM
I answered several times? I think it's not acceptable, and I want him to check in more, and I'm encouraged that he is becoming more active lately.

You don't think its acceptable, but there is no consequence? Is this a case of "it's just King John being King John?" The truth be told, I wouldn't even complain if he just logged in a few times a month. Life is busy...but he's our KING and not an ordinary citizen.

Edit: I don't think it's unreasonable to expect something more from the guy who can veto any bill he pleases. No mere Seneschal or MC or SoS can do that. Just the king.

I am glad he's becoming more active lately, and so it hardly makes sense to try to come up with some retribution for not being very active.  I honestly can't think of Talossan who could have done a better job at being the king than His Majesty.  And neither can you.

The man took a solemn oath many years ago and has stubbornly tried to do what's right, even if he hasn't been around as much as I'd like lately.  He doesn't lash out, he gives out his personal phone number for contact, and he has several times kept a steady head and done his job when it mattered most.

The Seneschal can personally just announce laws at will, requiring only one counter-signature.  The SoS is trusted with everyone's personal information and voting record and almost the entire administrative state.  But you're right, the throne still has a power remaining to it.
