No Propaganda, vote from the heart.

Hi everyone! This is just an announcement that the official bracket will be starting in a week, with a total of nine polls posted for the start.

March 9th, 1452; Frederick III was crowned, making him the last Holy Roman Emperor to be crowned in Rome, and we have chosen this day to kick off our battle for the most beloved state in the empire!

Franz II/I vs Étienne Jacques-Joseph-Alexandre Macdonald

Franz II/I

Etienne Jacques-Joseph-Alexandre Macdonald

Voting ended onFeb 21, 2024

Franz II/I, Emperor of Austria

Propaganda:

"Cheekbones mate. Cheekbones sharper than Napoleons sword and higher than the alps. Slutty little waist. Snappable. Delicate. Lots of head, pun intended. Twinks are so delicious." - @master-of-the-opera-house

Étienne Jacques-Joseph-Alexandre Macdonald:

Propaganda:

“Scots are really cool (and so is the Scottish accent). Cross that with a French (special interest) nationality and you get a sexyman. Frankness is very attractive and so is loyalty to a cause. Had PTSD after Russia. Also all three of his wives successively died for the TragedyTM. That makes him a bit of a wet cat sexyman.”

#We are kindly requesting you vote for Francis #just because he abdicated doesn’t mean we can’t miss him

Hello everyone!

The goal was to post the first polls February 2nd (the day Otto the great was crowned), due to the admins being busier than expected in January this will not be happening. The start date for polls has not been decided yet, but we will let everyone know as soon as we have a date!

I may try to get some preliminary polls up while we wait, until then thank you for your patience!

(Considering making the bracket double elimination so that even if someone gets voted out they can have a second chance at the end 👀)

@best-habsburg-monarch @best-bourbon-monarch thank you for the help we figured something out <3

Glad to help!

*sees who Austria is up against in the first round* How dare you?

We're preventing future proxy wars; it was actually one of the staffers @best-hohenzollern-ruler who pointed out to me that if the Austrian's got voted out you would just use Bavaria.

Then perhaps I ought not add that we will also campaign for Bohemia, since it is an important part of our realm as well.

Hey You! Yes You!

Do you have strong feelings about one of the approximately 1800 states that made up the Holy Roman Empire? Whether it's somewhere still around or a random principality no one has even thought about since 1643 this is the place to find out which is the holiest of holies in the holy empire.

Note from Admin: since there were around 1800 states in the Holy Roman Empire only submissions will be added! the Poll more than likely won't be starting until Febuary though, so there's plenty of time and you are allowed to submit more than one (on separate forms)!

In the Cars universe, are there automotive royal dynasties?

the Queen of England and Prince Wheeliam are in cars 2, so I assume the rest would be there.

But were they trains during the nineteenth century?

Some might have been? But then current monarchs being cars now wouldn't make sense, wouldn't they be carriages first?

Okay but what pulled the carriages?

And what was Pedro II in Brazil lol

best-pope-ever

I assume they would be sentient carriages. Pulled by their own will or something. Just like Cars don't need gas (do they?)

#admin elliot #The empires affairs #I am so sorry for going off on how much I know about cars

it’s unclear how the cars are fueled, because there are a few scenes where gas is a drink (implied alcoholic); but then in Cars 2 there’s a sushi bar AND mater calls the wasabi pistachio ice-cream so we know they do eat but if they need gas is unclear.

being sentient carriages I think would make the most sense though.

I know we said no polls until February; but we've decided to decide something now.

Is Prussia allowed in the bracket?

Yes

No

No; unless the bracket is uneven, they can be used as a filler

Yes; but only if the bracket is uneven, they can be used as a filler

The second set of options is more because I know some people might want to see them there, but I want to know what the gut decision is anyway.

You may be going "Wasn't Prussia part of the HRE? Why do you have to ask if it should be allowed?" Well dear friends, the Prussian relationship with Holy Rome is complicated. Some argue by being Hohenzollern it is by proxy, even though Frederick decided to style himself King of Prussia, and we're sure he knew within the empire that wasn't allowed.

#admin elliot #obviously no preassure dw about it

Prussia will be added to the bracket.

(Hi, hello, would any of the monarch polls mind telling me how y'all are keeping track of things? I've just started putting polls together and am already in confusion)

we’ll be happy to inform you Liechtenstein has already been submitted for the polls

(no Bavaria yet though)

-@besthrestate

Friends, subjects, countrymen we cannot do our Wittelsbach cousins this disservice. The form is open and Bavaria's honor must be defended.

I don’t believe you were calling for the defense of Bavarian honor in 1740; but if that’s how you want to pose yourself now.

Ah, but that was so long ago. Families bicker and invade each other sometimes. But now the Bavarians are our dearest cousins (and our beloved Empress is, of course, a Wittelsbach)

We can just forget that time Joseph II offered to trade the Austrian Netherlands for being able to annex Bavaria. We did that out of love.

If you expect this dynasty to be consistent in its alliances, you haven't been watching us long enough.

#ahhh sorry i didn't realize #my history speciality is more 1600-1700s 😅#rping as a whole dynasty

I see...

you know there's too many of you for us to keep track of who likes who, and who is upset with who. Though we suppose we should keep an eye on one of our more influential territories.

@best-hohenzollern-ruler , @best-habsburg-monarch, everyone ! that's us!

It is us, worstie. Over here we only have the hottest current events from the late 19th century (or whatever year in 18?? is appropriate for the joke)
