The Decsaesul rules based on merit alone. He doesn't volunteer, but is instead nominated by the public, who then vote on the candidates, all of whom are also nominated by the people.

Bring Glory and Honour to your House

There is still time to sign up for that epic struggle of Houses which they already call "The War of the Houses"! Shakespeare could not have written better story of family feuding than the one we are about to witness. Sign up and prove that your house has what it takes to be the Champion of all Houses!

You can join anybody's house, whether you were recruited by him/her or not. So just pick a house, drop by the House thread and announce your membership ;)

Currently, the 10000 Islands offers this fine choice of active houses (and some inactive ones which I will not enumerate here for obvious reasons):
The House of Ananke II
The House of Aersoldorf
The House of Improving wordiness
The House of Grub
The House of Boltor
The House of Markanite
The House of Ater nox
The House of Ayunli
The House of Paffnia
The House of Minna caroline
The House of Malecia
The House of Silvermain
The House of Greek People Nation
The House of Petalumadom
The House of Echolilia

Take your pick :)

The Issue

Your evening supper was disrupted recently when a spandex-clad man wearing a mask left a hitherto untouchable mob boss on the High Court's doorstep before disappearing once more into the night. While some have welcomed the assistance of 'the Dogman', others are fearful of what consequences supporting vigilantism could bring.

The Debate

"He did WHAT?" shouts over-zealous police officer Prudence Janssen. "The Dogman is a menace to society and an insult to the police. Vigilantism should not be tolerated, and the police should have the right to track these people down and throw them in jail. We'll show others like him that the law cannot be taken into their own hands."

Accept

"I agree, but we're forgetting the bigger issue," says Police Chief Calvin Valiant. "It's embarrassing really. This guy who's probably had no police training managed to catch a criminal that some of us in the force have spent ten years trying to bring down. This whole incident clearly shows us that the police force needs new training and equipment. I'm sure that our citizens wouldn't mind paying a little more to feel safer on the streets."

Accept

Maria Silk, avid contributor to the magazine Anarchist Monthly, presents a different opinion. "The last thing we need is more police. In fact, I think the people would be better off with more heroes like the Dogman. Let's face it. The police are known for corruption and brutality. Let the people take the law into their own hands, and we'll have a utopia where issues are settled without fascist pigs telling us what we can and can't do! It'll be perfect, trust me."

Accept

"You all have the wrong idea," says Graphite Lad, wearing a slender yellow spandex suit and eraser helmet. "We can't dismiss the fact that the Dogman did us and our city a great service. That's not something we should put him in jail for. In fact, I think the government should pay vigilante heroes for their noble deeds."
