Ability
 

On behalf of all the future kingdom members:

Kondias said in another post, some of the votes are more like a populatiry contest than who would be a good leader (some are both though) Becuase if there are all these fourm people who don't play 2k2 voting for someone becuse they like they're signature or something we might end up with a really bad, inactive person as king. It wouldn't be very fair to the kingdom that gets that person either -- so if your running PLEASE remember that you won't be able to go to war or ANYTHING untill you get all the levels made, recruit memebers, make ranks, raise moneys, etc. etc. etc. So if your running just to get famous and think it'll be a walk in the park please think again, and leave the election to someone else :(

Exactly. This is a RPing server and everything will most likely revolve around the kingdoms so if you can't handle it then don't bother applying to be king just because you want popularity.

Yeah I deleted my thread because a certain couple of people were ganging up on me in it and saying that forum only polls was the best way. (for obvious reasons) :|

From 6 months experience, it is not fun at all sitting in the throne room alld ay answering the following questions:

"promote me"
"give me the rp test"
"can I join?"
"I want a tag change"
"I want a new last name"

Half of you don't know what you're getting into. If you think you can ignore all those, your kingdom will fail.

18 months of 2k1 rp'ing has taught me alot...a real lot...

failures and success...:X

I always got a
"promote me"
"can i join?"
"Where is our castle?"
"Can I kill Samurai?"
(Zormite had too many renegades and not any good Generals X_x...)

But yes... alot of people think Running a Kingdom is fun... That's what I thought, then I got the Kingdom and I grew gray hairs. It takes weeks or even months of preperation. Being a King just isn't a job for the power hungry, as King you must do things such as this
-Set up a Government that is stable (None of this... "My Government is a Dictatorship so I rule all)
-Recruit your members at a low level (They beg and beg for promotions every single hour.)
-Set up the high ranks (Promote those few people you have who are good... into higher ranks)
-Fight with the staff members and players (Staffers are needed to repair bugs and levels in the kingdom, players just hate you)
-Start a reign of diplomatic exchanges (Dont ally because they are your friends)
-YOU MUST TEACH YOUR MEMBERS HOW TO RP (If you dont then you'll just make another kingdom like the old Dustari (You kick them out they join another kingdom so they join the biggest kingdom. You cant kick them out if they dont RP correctly)
-Start Trading Routes (What is a kingdom without economics?)
-Deal with internal affairs (Taking out defectors, etc)

And that's not all of em. You say to yourself "I can do that real easy". Well it's easier said then done.

Ouch, hitting a little low are we, Zurk?

It's the truth...he's hitting the nail on the head.

Now you're just being childish. I'm not insulting Zormite or Samurai, so why are you insulting Dustari?
This is what I'm talking about, we need leaders who arn't obbsessed with making fun of other kingdoms. :(

actually...in feudal society many kings were predjeduce against other nations...so in RP that kind of thing is common..insulting other nations

Ya, I know n_n; it doesn't bug me that much. But these fourms arn't really RPing

Why not? If you really like your rp character, rp on the forums too.

yeah..you could alway create forum RPing threads if you wanted too

I wasn't referring to all the foura, just this one ^_^

No I'm not. That's exactly how it was, quit standing up for your kingdom, and accept the truth. Jesus, I can't stand people that try to shield the truth from themselves, because they don't want to believe it. Too many people like that in this world...accept things as they are. Dustari was just a bunch of idiots that didn't RP at all, at least on 2k1 they were. I'm not saying Samurai ever RPed much, but when we did, I tried to make the most of the situation since IceHawk never did anything.

Hiyoshi, we were not all "a bunch of idiots with no idea of how to roleplay". Please don't put stereo types. This is just like Karakaze. I mean, sure, they had some utter *****s whose brains must have been some primortial mush, but they also had some great RPers. *Realizes* Did I just say that? *Scrubs his tounge with a bar of soap and a toothbrush* UNCLEAN, UNCLEAN!
