Nihil Obstat Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 As the Administrative Archduke of Acre, We consider Ourselves isolated from the chain of command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We consider Ourselves isolated from Resurrexi's chain of command. Of course We still function as Marshal of the Western Assembly, but this position is entirely unrelated to Our administration of Acre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We consider Ourselves isolated from Resurrexi's chain of command.[/quote] The correct form of the plural "We" in the possessive case would actually be "Ourself" since "We" represents one person. As to the chain of command if We pass, We must first express Our grief that Our true love, Isabella, has been slaughtered by the Saracens. Because of this, We have no heir to inherit the kingdom. That said, when death or resignation makes Us no longer king, General Sir Patricius shall reign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
