====Weekend of the 18th/19th====
 +
It is my duty to announce that do to mundane personal issues, his majesty, King Sir [[Tseng]] is stepping down from the kingdom [[monarch]] position.
 +
 +
We will need to hold an althing at the next kingdom event (Nov 16th, [[Ithra]]) to remedy this situation. According to our corpora, the Regent would step up and assume the role of Monarch. Our current Regent is [[Aristiri]]. According to the June [[2005]] [[althing]], she is not allowed to hold the position of monarch. So....
 +
 +
Voting issue #1. Is the [[Kingdom]] of [[Blackspire]] willing to let Aristiri fulfill her Regent responsibilities by allowing her to complete the term as Monarch?
 +
 +
(She still would not have access to any kingdom moneys as that was a separate althing ruling.)
 +
 +
Voting issue #2. If the first vote fails, we will then need to elect a Pro-Tem Monarch.
 +
 +
Regardless of what happens at this althing, King [[Tseng]] and myself have made a temporary ruling that as Regent, Aristiri will act as head of the kingdom effective from now until the Nov 16th Althing has made a determination.

*Final tallies for the much contested kingdom elections will be completed on Sunday at Fuddruckers across from Highland Mall in Austin. The most contested election in six reigns concluded yesterday with [[Esoum]] the clear winner due in large part to a voting block out of one of the northern provinces, [[Murky Waters]].

Weekend of the 18th/19th

It is my duty to announce that do to mundane personal issues, his majesty, King Sir Tseng is stepping down from the kingdom monarch position.

We will need to hold an althing at the next kingdom event (Nov 16th, Ithra) to remedy this situation. According to our corpora, the Regent would step up and assume the role of Monarch. Our current Regent is Aristiri. According to the June 2005 althing, she is not allowed to hold the position of monarch. So....

Voting issue #1. Is the Kingdom of Blackspire willing to let Aristiri fulfill her Regent responsibilities by allowing her to complete the term as Monarch?

(She still would not have access to any kingdom moneys as that was a separate althing ruling.)

Voting issue #2. If the first vote fails, we will then need to elect a Pro-Tem Monarch.

Regardless of what happens at this althing, King Tseng and myself have made a temporary ruling that as Regent, Aristiri will act as head of the kingdom effective from now until the Nov 16th Althing has made a determination.

  • World Banner Wars occurs on this, it's accustomed weekend, Oct 10th-12th. Gate fee this year is a miniscule five dollars, no matter when you arrive. This weekend also has a local sporting event; the Red River Shoot Out, an annual college football game between the University of Texas Longhorns and the University of Oklahoma Sooners. The Game is very well attended and it almost always causes conflicts and traffic problems particularly for those that travel from the Celestial Kingdom. There was some idle discussion this year about moving the event, but it is highly unlikely. Banner Wars Schedule on Esam. The EH requires a waiver and event contract to be signed by either a legal guardian or parent if you are UNDER 18.
