A Response to John IV's claim to Imperia's Throne
On February 7th, 2019, in a poor attempt to mimic what the Free States did to Sarovia with Kory in early 2017, the Sarovian "Empire" put forward this statement, claiming a "descendant" of deposed Sarovian Prince, John Vasa, has a claim to the throne of Imperia. There are many hilarious falsehoods in this statement, which are addressed below.
The Magnus Family was formed by Ryzallion in early 2014, and every decision made regarding the addition/removal of members must be approved by the five elder Magnuses. These five are Ryzallion, Kozak, Zearos, Xinke, and Collin. This is mentioned because even if John were not unanimously (and legitimately) voted to by these five to be removed from the family, an action which caused John to cry to Constantine until he blackmailed a kid into mass kicking the Magnus guild, this "descendant" of John would have no claim to the name, as he was never approved by the Elder Magnus. Now, even if John hadn't been legitimately and unanimously removed for his immaturity and stupidity, and even lf the Elder Magnus had approved of his "descendant" being given the name, he still wouldn’t be anywhere close to the throne. While the Sarovians claim that John has a “longitude” of service to Imperia, he actually never served a Magnusian Imperia. In fact, in the Second War of Paranoia, he fought against King Xinke’s Imperia. He did serve in the original Auelian Imperian guilds, in which he was never given a rank above Sergeant, but never in an Imperia in the Magnusian era. He did not even join the family until two years after Magnus was formed. So, not only was John not a “senior ranking official” of the Magnus family, but, at the time of his removal, there were roughly twenty people in front of him, both in terms of length, of service, of standing within the family, and many more in terms of competence.
While I am uncertain what exactly the original Magnus doctrine mentioned, nor how the "descendant" of someone who joined two years after the family was created, would know anything about it when multiple founding members of Magnus have never heard of it, I would be quite surprised if blindly supporting a pedophile who repeatedly blackmails members of the community, rebelling against an empire of which you are a Prince due to another Prince being democratically elected as the new Emperor, and demanding the mass-kicking of a non-military family guild over losing one of fifteen names are all true to this original Magnus doctrine.
