I agree with Dayaa, however, staff selection and elections will not prevent such from happening ;)

See my post on the Dustari forum

I can agree with this in a sense, however I strongly disagree at the same time.
Sam, for years GK has done fine without staff assistance with kingdoms, I feel it can still be done, free of staff assistance. The only time Staff should interferre is if a kingdom leader has broken the rules during their reign, not prior to their reign.

What motives might feed a group to take such actions...? :oo:

Not only was it the fact that you appointed John as leader without election, I requested for Samurai back after I had resigned and you did not give it back to me.

On the note of frequency of the variations within the kingdom leadership, Dustari still does apply for the inconsistency. For instance: Tseng, Ed, Fr0, Klay, John, Bosh, David, Bosh, David, John.

You missed out Lylic he was king before Klay.

Thus proving my point even further >_<

i say yes because the leader picking the best person for the job is better than staff, i mean, what if drakeeo quit zormite and pojo or some random idoit wosre than pojo became leader becuase staff said so, thats suisidal im my oppinion. i say drakeeo would have a better pick than a clueless staff member.

Unfortunately it's done with now. Instead, put effort into helping make sure instability is a thing of the past.

This does nothing of the sort in my opinion. You want to go back to the "old" way which was changed in the first place for a very good reason. However, I also don't agree that the current system is perfect. Look towards my previous post.

and Drk and Steven and Padren and probably more

I believe this does promote more stability, thus is why I'm fighting for it to be approved. I know Stromstedt in real life and I know he would be a good leader.

Players selected about 80% of the leaders you suggested. Yet you point to the instability? Just because you may choose a "valid leader" does not mean other will. As suggested by the instability, rapid changes, and controversial choices.

I don't see a problem with still allowing previous leaders choosing but having Staff approve it.

I'm not just trying to get this approved just for Stromstedt. I believe that every leader should have the priviledge to choose who is the future successor of the throne. ^_^

which in most cases is the best thing to do.

I believe everybody except the four people that voted no can come to that mutual consensus :)
