Voting in favor of the Renegotiation of Feudal Contracts Policy. Also, I propose a Directive to start calling Caliph al-Mustazhir "The Lily-Livered." Mostly just to irritate him. MaxieSatan fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Oct 24, 2019 |

I will Support our King's Thousand Blades Policy with my single vote, as we must gain the upper hand over the Saracens, lest we be driven out of the Holy Land before our Kingdom has found its footing! I would also like to submit a Directive that the noble knight Claude von Riegan is appointed Master of the Hunt. His skill with the bow is legendary, and surely he is foremost among our number in that capacity. Mirdini fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Oct 24, 2019 |

Apologies, my King, but as Steward, in my professional opinion, I feel our money and my time is better spent assisting in the tax collection and building up a reserve fund. I'm humbly embarrassed that I don't have a proposal of my own to put forward, but I'll put forward one(1) vote of support for the following proposals: Change the Realm Laws From Traditional Status of Women to Marginal Status of Women Heirs In True Christian Heritage Minor Courtier Relations Directive Xelkelvos fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Oct 24, 2019 |

Sure, Erwin's been using discord to let me know what he wants with the character, and since I'll be roleplaying the King's traits, that's largely what I'm going off on. And its no problem, ask me anything that seems confusing.

I, Giyorgis Zemenfes, thank the Crown for recognising my credentials from his Royal Majesty Kedus Harbe of Abyssinia. I also appreciate you not sending me back there after that other emissary came by: I'm not entirely sure what the Untouchable Lion thinks I have done, but I definitely didn't do it. At all. I propose the Minor Courtier Relations Directive: The Haute Cour, Recognising that many of the minor nobility of the Kingdom have arrived recently in the Holy Land without family or local political connections; Acknowledging the numerous hardships entailed in long-distance travel to the City of Christ; Requests the assistance of the Crown in the arrangement of marriages for courtiers of unlanded dynasties. This Directive's scope is limited to courtiers from houses which hold no land in the Kingdom who are: - of twenty-five (25) years of age or more; - in good legal standing; - and with no living legitimate issue. Courtiers may decline such arrangements. I also cast my one vote for the Women's Status law. Obliterati fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Oct 24, 2019 |

She would make a wonderful match for any of the currently unmarried counts, dukes, and princes. Why, I think she took quite a fancy to Tancred at the last feast! - My second son, So and So!

Lords and Ladies, I am but a simple courtier with no combat skills, military resources, or allies to speak of. In the interest of self-preservation, I would like to present the following policy to the Haute Cour: the Cour Order on Wartime Activities and Responsible Defense. Its provisions are simple and straightforward: - Park our spymaster in nearby enemy territory so our king can see incoming troops - Avoid direct combat whenever possible, focusing instead on retaking territory when it has been seized by the enemy - Seek a White Peace with our enemies as soon as possible Join me in supporting this common-sense policy. While we might not see a better tomorrow, we'll at least see a tomorrow.

From the office of Father I'm, of House Not Saladin My fellow Europeans, we all remember where we came from and how we got here, so there's no need to ask each other any detailed questions about it! In regards to the upcoming justly deser- I mean outrageous invasion of our territory, I think it's time we accept we're outnumbered and do the last thing they expect! Policy: The "False" Conversion The King shall immediately convert to Sunni Islam. Pretend to, that is. He shall publicly submit himself to Allah and recognize Mohammed (PBUH) is His prophet. This will halt the Jihad, and grant us time to build our strength, eventually, at some point, when the time is right, reveal ourselves as the very Christian people we are. Additionally, the Father Not Saladin submits a Directive asking for he, a true member of the church, be issued robes that fit him and aren't covered in knife wounds and dried Italian blood. His blood, from the crusading we did.

Raimond de Toulouse, Prince of Tripoli, Marshal of Jerusalem While I applaud the intent behind the Thousand Swords bill, I feel that it will be best utilized in peacetime- we can not afford to build barracks when the invaders are already upon us. I believe that our holy kingdom must adopt a general doctrine and build an infrastructure of war, not merely responding to whatever threat or opportunity is at hand, but being prepared for any and all eventualities. Therefore: Law: The Kingdom At War 1. At all times, the royal treasury will remain at or above 500 gold, to give the king breathing room for the hiring of mercenaries and other wartime expenses. The crown will be allowed to dip below this number during wartime, and is authorized to take loans to keep mercenaries in the field. 2. The Kingdom will invite the Templars to serve as our vassals as soon as possible, and keep them by whatever means necessary. 3. The king is expected to maintain a retinue at the maximum strength available to him- composition is their prerogative. 4. The king must maintain at least one foreign alliance at all times, and if he does not have one, be in the process of obtaining one. 5. The king must build and maintain fortresses at key strategic points and in low supply areas of the kingdom- though construction of these forts is not to take priority over mercenaries or other necessities in wartime. Lords of the Haute Cour, thank you for your time. I submit three of my votes for this law, two for the Renegotiation of Feudal Contracts, and one for Heirs of True Christian Heritage.

: My marshal and good friend's reasoning is sound - were we not in war time, I would campaign more thoroughly for my own proposal, but for now I feel it best to temporarily shelf it after further consideration of our circumstances. My two votes previously for my own proposal shall hence forth go to the Kingdom at War Act, and I encourage those who were supporting my endeavors to do the same, and to remember their support for my proposal when times are better.

Don't think I'm going to make a courtier character but I'm looking forward to reading this one from the sidelines. I'm creeping up on 1200 hours with CK2 and Jerusalem is one of my favorite starts -- there's something really appealing about trying to carve out a realm all alone surrounded by people who completely hate you. Armenia, Haesteinn of Nantes, Latin Empire and the later Iberian Muslim starts have the same vibes, but Jerusalem gives you a bunch of fun toys to play with, especially post-Holy Fury. Remember not to shoot your wad too much defending against this Jihad because they usually come in pairs...

Most proposals are great, but a couple points on some of them -Erwin the German posted:Therefore, I propose the following Thousand Blades Policy be considered in order to safeguard us against the hordes of heathens soon descending upon us. This one's solid, but for the last point, it would be much simpler to just say -- "construct a barracks in Jerusalem". Adding the other capital duchies is possible, but if this proposal passed then I would still have to construct barracks in Galilee and Tripoli despite being at war and likely being stint on gold for a couple years. So something to keep in mind for the future. Rody One Half posted:Policy: The "False" Conversion This one's straight-up impossible, because the ruler's religion is his own prerogative. You could pass a law that forbids revoking titles from Muslims, and individual characters themselves could secretly convert to Sunni (our guy certainly won't), but you can't actually legislate him into converting. Lord Cyrahzax posted:Law: The Kingdom At War This proposals combines too many aspects of policies and laws, mostly your 5th point being at fault. Because it's technically an action (construct this building), it would have to be categorised as a Policy. Also it's very broad and nonspecific, and since Jerusalem is a thin country, I could end up sinking hundreds of gold into trying to implement this one point. Also for point 3, we don't actually have any holy orders vassalized, we have to pass a Decision to make that happen (see here, and I've also mentioned it on the game mechanics infopost). If you want to do it, it would have to be as a Policy. So point 3 and point 5 would have to removed from this law, and submitted as separate policies. hashashash fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Oct 25, 2019 |

So just to clear things up a bit: Policies are ways of accomplishing short-term actions, such as Arranging Marriages or Declaring Wars or Constructing Buildings. They also have to be aimed at accomplishing a single goal. On the other hand, Laws are more ways of limiting the powers of the King, such as in-game Laws or a law that mandates that all prisoners be executed etc. If you're not sure about what constitutes a policy or law, just say so and I'll let you know. hashashash fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Oct 25, 2019 |
