The Empire wouldn't sign a mutual military pact just because some rebellious separatist arrested a wanted criminal. Much less give such a party a position on the most powerful government board in the Cluster for the bargain. The Empire did not value Karsoth that highly, and it had more than enough agents to extract or kill him without selling out to Khanid. If the king suggested a trade of Karsoth for an alliance and a Privy Council seat, the Empress would have laughed in his face.


Lol.... now you are a little bias and unlogical and very inductiv. But let me show it to you that first: NOT JUST Karsoth alone was part of Jamyls trade, also the "acceptance in the international arena" (He has accept her as "Empress of Amarr". As the news said in the non speech part). Now back to Jamyls-trade, as I said before:

"So back again. We have now two players (Khanid II and Jamyl I), and both have a goal. Khanid II to gain some sort of benefit and Jamyl to gain acceptance and the heretic Dochuta Karsoth. And that is in my eyes what happend. She had gain acceptance in the international arena (+ Dochuta Karsoth as bonus), he has gain a seat in the PC. In addition with the pac, he had gain protection from the Empire; and the Empire had gain an ally. So it is a WIN-WIN for both sites. But the Idea, that a player would enter a game with the goal; that he becomes a subject -- aka LOSE -- is ....arrggg *snipped* Big smile. I think; before he would make this, he would choose another option (and there are more as the four mention by me). Dont get me wrong, I get how someone gets this impression form the text."

Again and again: It isnt Karsoth alone. Secondly:

Horatius Caul wrote:

The Empire did not value Karsoth that highly,


Really? First as I ones said individuals act (Jamyl and Khanid II).... not the Empire. Institutions CANT ACT, only individuals in institutions act. Im serious right now (*publius looks in the eyes of Horatius*). You cant and you shouldnt ever go out of the fact that institution can act. It is leads just to fallacies. I cant make this big enough. SO I took some freedom and reworte your point: "Jamyl did not value Karsoth that highly" and before I falsify this point; I have to ask is this your point?



By the way... it isnt only just that, third point:

Horatius Caul wrote:

and it had more than enough agents to extract or kill him without selling out to Khanid.


Now you are in fantasy land? Do I need really answer to this bullshit? He was in the hand of Khanid. POINT. Everything else... like "He was truely in the hands of imperial agents" or your *snipped*. So can you explain to me LOGICAL AND DEDUCTIV. How you come to this statement/argument.

(1 major premise) Empire has enough agents to extract or kill Karsoth
(2 minor premise) words, words, words...
Therfore
(3 conclusion) thats why Khanid II has capture him.

If this isnt your point. Please your are welcome to change our idea or flash out your point. So, that I understand: Empire has enough agents to extract or kill Karsoth; therefore, they havent got him, instead Khanid II has got him in the first place.

Do you see the problems in your logic? Dont try to out redneck PIE. They can redneck everything P.





And finally your conclusion:
Horatius Caul wrote:


Hand over Karsoth and bow before me and I will not destroy you.

Okay... Jamyl would go to war for Karsoth (and destroy a brother state); but DOESNT VALUE him that highly? As you said before most likely (have to wait for the answer). Really? You see some of your logical errors? By the way can you reword some of your stuff more in a actors way. I mean with it that; Jamly does act X or Y.... That way I understand you better and I can point out suff more easly. It helps me and you. By the way...If she deeply loves to destroy the Kingdom and trys the reclaim the kingdom; WHY waiting? She could on day one declare a war not just the republic (like in one of the first speeches mention) also to the kingdom? IF THIS IS HER GOAL, plz explain to me why she havent done it? Doesnt she value the kingdom that highly in her reclaiming list Big smilePBig smile ? How comes that guy, (If I may qoute you: "Jamyl is also a realpolitician (and privately secular), and probably shares a lot of the king's world views."), with those she shares shares a lot of views, isnt number one -- just number two after the republic -- on the reclaiming list Big smile? How those Big smile? So that she waits years and years and years until there is a chance for her? And what is this chance? That Khanid has capture Karsoth? Really? She waits for to hit/destroy the kingdom and Khanid II until he has Karsoth? By the way why should Karsoth be the trigger? The guy, which has if I take you: "No value" to Jamyl. Which leads even in short form (not counting step inbetween) to the conclusion that: Khanid II has captured Karsoth = makes him to a subject of the empress and the empire (and/or a subject to the empress reclaiming goals). Really? I hope this isnt the endgame of your game theoretical analyse of what is happening. If so; and that is your theory. You have also then to explain, why should Khanid then capture him in the first place? Is Khanid II stupid or mentally handicapped? That he doesnt see: I capture Karsoth = makes me to a subject of the empress and the empire; and/or I become, I subject to the empress reclaiming goals. Next to many other questions.

I have no problem, If you call Khanid II: Khanid Khanid. This action makes him just a joke. And Im fine if you make a joke.

Is it a wisley choice? Isnt there any better options? May favorite one would be: Jamly delares war on the kingdom. The state has than to choose, which site the take. As a player/nation cant be best friend with the main-enemy of friend. If Khanid II is lucky, he would get the caldari on his site. So Jamyl would lose a ally, gain another front -- the khanid front -- to the already existing minmatar front. Worst case scenero, the navy would again end up in a def fight which leads to a second "cold front development" and then to a steelmate. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Unchallenged_Era_of_the_Amarr_Empire#Open_Warfare

and as a result the Kingdom can keep enjoying most of the freedoms it already had, including self-governance. The Empire probably has installed some new methods of oversight for the Kingdom, but I don't think we've heard of any in the news.


Never hearded about a oversight of the Empire over the Kingdom. And I have ask before.... why should it happend? Why should Khanid II give up power? Even If I say 1 is true and if I say 2 is true and I even say 3 is true and If I even say that his "bowing" would be wisley choice... Why should he give up power? He could, just go that way... that he says: Yes you have a abaddon, you have me first on your list, yes I have just two options.... yes I bow symbolically? But what after that? What would make him to do more then that? A lip-services to a empress, which hasnt even got a real "submission" form their heirs, also just a lip-service. Why should Khaind do more? Why should he give up power? Is he stupid? And all that, after the other nobility got even power tru Jamyl (the Mandate or chancellor offices etc...). So, he -- Khanid II -- is the only guy which has in your universe (if the first points are true), more to give up as actual imperial heirs, which could challenge Jamyl power directly? Intriguing. Thats is the reason why *snipped*. You have decide that one actor has less tools as any other. Thats why we always come to the conclusion that Khanid II has less tools, then actor x. In the example above. He would have less tools, as the royal heirs -- and those are some window likers. Big smile As he even hasnt their level of tools and skills, or in other words: He isnt smart enough to do just a lip-service, he has to give up power?

Just to clarify things, since I've been asked to do so:

Khanid II recognized Jamyl I as the rightful Empress of the Amarr people and dropped any claim he might have on her throne.
The Khanid Kingdom and the Amarr Empire now enjoy a mutual defense pact.
The Khanid Kingdom retains its de facto independence, but is a de jure vassal state of the Empire. Or, otherwise, Khanid II is technically a subordinate to Jamyl I, but otherwise runs his Kingdom exactly the same way he did prior to the whole agreement.
The Khanid Family has a seat on the Privy Council.

I'll leave it up to future revelations and player theory crafting to decide why exactly this whole thing was agreed to, but I believe you should be able to read between the lines to figure things out.

Personally, I can't understand why the enormous gain in power that comes with regaining a seat on the Closed Council of the Privy Council is being underestimated.

It is also rather likely that the development actually strengthens Khanid's rule within the Kingdom. He is confirmed as the rightful Holder of the Khanid Region. He is confirmed as a King in his own right as ruler of a Kingdom of the Empire. The reunification-minded subjects of the Kingdom cannot be anything but happy with the development. The religious-minded subjects are most probably rather happy about it all. Those who stayed absolutely loyal to Khanid have that loyalty endorsed by the Empress of Amarr as in fact loyalty to the interests of Holy Amarr all along.

There are other factors in the whole arrangement but I know who I think the overall winner in this is in terms of Amarr power dynamics.

I would underline, in addition to Eterne's useful summary, that the news piece containing Jamyl's speech on this matter is a rather key piece of PF (indeed the whole arc of which it forms a part is for the Amarr/Khanid relationship). And I would note that the Amarr are not a people to waste words or make throwaway remarks. They tend, at this level of high politics, to choose their words carefully and with intent.

Another example is the very careful way in which Khanid II is formally "Lord Councillor Khanid" when sitting as a member of the Privy Council, as opposed to the other House representatives who are styled as "Royal Heirs".

The problem on this comment is the assumption of gaining power tru the PC. In the PC, the players havent their power tru the seat there, the power comes from the postion they have outside of it. Or in other words: "The Privy Council can be considered a meeting of the rulers of the Empire, but one which does not actually act with any inherent authority. Instead, all authority is derived from the positions the members of the Council already hold." *
Which means the Kingdom hasnt gain power, it had gain a "voice opportunity" [[see: "voice opportunity" Joseph M. Grieco]]. And a "voice opportunity", doesnt endanger the sovereignty and/or survival of the Empire. I repeat, no power gain for Khanid, just a gain of "voice opportunity"; and no endanger the survival of the empire.

Sadly Eterne had deleted so much, that many people still dont understand my point (I cant belive how much. He has deleted everything what he hasnt a answer for and more; is this the new CCP policy?). So my first question is: Why does in your example Jamly has the tool to ignore domestic games, but Khanid Ii not?

About: „The reunification-minded subjects of the Kingdom cannot be anything but happy with the development.“ Of course they are, their goal is the reunifaction, so any move which takes souveranity will be seen positive by this group. But, a huge but, WHY should Khanid II care about a group which has the goal to destruct his kingdom? And if he cares, would he act in a why which Eterne, Horatius and you have in mind? Would it not be better, to not be a vassel? And gain the love this group in another way? I could think already, about some moves :)

About: „Those who stayed absolutely loyal to Khanid have that loyalty endorsed by the Empress of Amarr“ This point have I already mention in the mail with Eterne. So again, I havent a problem with point 1. You could reword point one to:

„Khanid II recognized Jamyl I as the rightful Empress of the Amarr people and dropped any claim he might have on her throne. AND Jamyl I recognized Khanid II as the rightful King of the Khanid Kingdom and dropped any claim she might had on his throne.“

But as you can see, it doesnt give me explaination: Why point three is possible and plausible? As Eterne had wrote. And I hope you, Eterne or Caul come up with an logical answer. Not for me, Im gone, but for future players.





CCP Delegate Zero wrote:

Yeah. I too. Lets see add point 3, the Kingdom was before independent and is now a vassel. It doesnt look for me like the Kingdom is the winner in this and wasnt it Cauls and Eternes whole point of „Bowing before Jamyl“? So maybe you discusse first with those two where the „winner is“. After that pointless debate (where you find a winner), you will also find out that it doesnt give me a answer on my questions. Which is: How is point three possible and plausible without spliting tools/braincells/window-licking your characters? A question which I have try to show Eterne before he just send back a one liner, with basically saying: „Im right, because I said so.“ After that I of course send another mail, where he still hadnt answer and just send a one liner: Im right, because I can english unlike you, or the more educated version: „I have a english bachlor, unlike you.“ (P.S. Eterne I have a Magister A. in two disciplines (economics and politcal science). Does it mean Im right? Of course not).

First define useful, secondly: You people know that the speech and the text below the speech are contradictorily and both cant be true. Like: „Empress of Amarr“ vs. „Empress of all Amarr“ etc. I will go in this case for the none speech part.

To you remember what I ones wrote about prussia? And that they (unlike like your false assumption), where never emperos. Even the Kingdom of prussia was outside of the HRE not a reichkreis, but still the King of prussia was a prince elector, had a seat in the Reichstag etc..... So easy... I could even go deeper and say the the cities had just voice opprotunitys in the reichtags form 1335-1442. Etc....


So fly save Im gone. bye


P.S You may now answer one of my questions? Dont you? Like how is point three plausible and possible? And what are my flawed premises? Do you had split magic/tools in your explainations and examples before? etc.... Fly save.

Sure, because the Hohenzollerns also held titles that had those positions within the Empire. In just the same way, there were several kings of England who - by having inherited territory in France - were both sovereigns as kings and vassals of France as counts.

True... And we will most likely just find small examples in the real world... like the lomards cities in the HRE (for a small time frame). But still It doesnt falesfy any of my points my friend. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS? Lets say... I find a example what is just almost close, does it change anything what I had wrote? No. Because I dont say it is unplausebile because of: "History example x",
I say it unplausible, because its violates a law. Two different things my friend.

So again... please explain some of my questions... by the way you dont die if you say you were wrong, or you havent a logical-deductiv answer for point three.
