OOC: What is the fun of electing someone if no one is going to run against each other...
I am not running simply because I do not want the regency, but someone else out there must want to try and run for it. Otherwise it would just be boring.

OOC: Basically, a minor noble house needs 2 more voters than a major house, so it's not going to be easy, more concessions will be needed, so overall there's only the 5 major houses that can reasonably expect to win. What with having more stuff to bribe others should the need arise. The result is only 5 out of 17 have a good chance of winning, so 12 players will not try because it's an almost guaranteed fail. Out of the remaining 5, 1 has already stated his intent, and it's pretty likely that the 3 posts will be distributed between the major houses, so only one of the lot would be shafted. And then this one may not even want the charge.
So there's no reason, with the current scepters and economic distribution, why there should ever be a second candidate.

IC: House Bossheaim now feels confident in placing its vote with House Klorin, and urges other Minor noble houses to do so as well, since Tebryn Arbandi XII has discussed the founding of a Chamber of Minors with the Lord Kawalen, which will provide a unique opportunity for Minor Noble Houses to have a say in the policies of the Regency even without holding any of the Imperial positions.
Should Lord Kawalen be elected Regent, this Chamber will be established during His first year of Regency and will be ready to function when we enter the second year of the new Regency.

House Naprous gladly applauds the suggestion of a Chamber of Minors.
On another note we wish to solicit applicants from Clarke and Incillia for a contract on dikes and drainage systems for our farms on E2. If any house can provide the services needed to a standard approaching that of the Authority we would be glad to have multiple bids and competition and will not fail to properly consider each and every deal.

House Texier casts its vote in favour of House Klorin. We have little doubt that they will be excellent leaders in years to come, and we agree with the notion of a council of Minors.
This clearly leaves the Imperial Fleet command open, and so we, having loyally commanded the Imperial Eye for the past few years, announce our willingness to command the Imperial Fleet. If elected, we will serve the Empire energetically and valiantly as commanders, and we will, as a neutral clan without much property or vested interests, command it fully in the way that best befits the republic, and in full cooperation with the Regent and the other Noble Houses.

This House of Minors will allow the Noble houses without a position in the Imperium to make their will known. Essentially, every house will donate 1MF per turn to this Council for it's use in the projects that it chooses. The Turn after the Regency Election (so, every 3 turns, again) A secondary election will be held among the houses without Imperial Positions, wherein the 7 candidates with the most votes will be Elected to this Council.
The Chamber chooses their projects by an absolute majority (at least 4 must approve of the budgeting).
Eventually, the design could let the leader of the chamber have the right to propose a budget which would have to be voted against before other members can raise suggestions.
The decisions taken by the Chamber may be vetoed by the Regent himself if it is considered fundamentally flawed (ie. used against a single noble house, in an act of war that the Imperium does not back, or so on).
OOC: part of that CPed from Diamondeye's PM.

House Remillard would like to place its candidacy for the Regency.

OOC: I believe the elected Regent distributes these Positions to the Houses/Institutions he finds suitable.
Also OOC, @Thomas: I had the impression that Regency elections are for a lifetime position, not every fourth year. Can someone elaborate on this? Immac?

Is that so? I was under the impression it was every 3 turns.
OOC: I wouldn't have minded Albrino (Albino girls can actually be pretty cute and watery brines aren't that bad once you get used to swimming through them. And the name Albrino kind of grows on you.) that much if it wasn't for that horrible Leonardo book and its movie.
I ended up looking up a random famous movie's credits and found Naprous on the first page, someone who did props or costumes (I don't remember)? It's fascinating the wealth of real-life names that exist. There are also two remaining references, one under Glass Scalpel Commandos and other in the population count and allegiances list for Errovus Secundus.
The current votes stand at 14 in favor of House Klorin and 1 in favor of house Remmilard.
We have an actual race. As pointed out by multiple houses this is usually healthy for the electoral process.

This is interesting, but would you care to elaborate?
House Klorin has made it public what they expect to do should they get the Regency.
What does House Remillard propose?

If we, of the Remillard household, were elected, we would seek to make better use of the Freemen of Errovus Secundus.
In their current state, bickering among one another, they are nothing more than a threat to themselves and the holdings of nobility on the planet.
However, if we could unite them behind our causes, we would have valuable allies indeed.
Once they are at the disposal of noble houses, the houses would have more resources and manpower at their fingertips, easing the threat of Symbiot attack.
While we cannot at this point in time forsee retaking lost worlds, unlike our brothers in Klorin, with the Freemen's help we should be capable of holding the Symbiot off indefinately.
However, we must warn now that, if we are made Regent, and any are found to be acting in manners subversive to these goals, we would expect all other families of Noble birth to assist us in resolving the issue.
That is all.

House Vanari votes for House Klorin this time around. They seem to have a stronger position.
We also wish we could help the people of Errovus Secondus. Alas, they need food, not machines.

With all due respect: Holding off the Symbiots is not as easy as simply throwing numbers at them. the must be Eradicated from Stigmata, lest they overwhelm the defences, which they surely eventually will, for that is thier way. Sooner or later, they will adapt to our weapons, and there wont be a replacement. Those Freemen you claim to love will be torn through like butter by a hot knife. The Symbiots on stigmata MUST be destroyed, not simply contained.
House Klorin has a point. Sending freemen, unequipped, untrained as they are to fight the Symbiots would only lead them to being overthrown and might even strengthen the enemy for all we know. Only our weapons, and a better understanding of the magicks brought to us by the Pancreator and the Saints, can help us get rid of the Enemy.
How would freemen accomplish this when only the brightest of all can master thhaumaturgy and theurgy?
How would freemen be able to build those weapons that the old Republic could build, and how could they hope to prevail when the Republic in its glory was unable to fend off the Symbiots?
