Republic or Monarch?
 

Zurkiba is "fighting" to make Dustari into a Republic, where instead of having somone next in line for king, we have "terms" 1-2 month period of where somone is voted king. Personally, I do not think we should tamper with what we have now, Dustari has been a monarch for since I can remember, and I think it should stay that way, Please post your thoughts. Now remember, this monarchy doesnt include anU. I am talking about when he is gone.

I only voted for the monarchy idea because we need the stability, I don't trust we would survive the bickering over who lost and if what was fair, and damaging buy-votes-for-ranks stuff.

I think we should have the King be King, but perhaps the Prince or other top positions can be voted for.

A power-sharing, with King being the Ruler still, that is possible.

Otherwise, monarchy is still the wisest choice.

I agree! I was elected for Prince ((Even though the person I was running against wasnt heir but I was)), so I tihnk Prince and others should be voted for, the the king should be handed down to the heir, that goes the same for the queen.

Treason! Blasphemy! The king is appointed by Divine right! How dare you disagree. *coughs*

Republic is wanted by some people to get Kamuii as king.
Monarchy would still be the best bet, if only you would keep royal blood as royal members, so you don't have an idiot like anU as King.

Yah, I had no say in anU being king *coughLarriendecicedcough*

This vote should not have happened just yet because I have not made the rough draft of the government overlay.

But the Monarchy will not be stable... We have two examples on why Monarchy does not work... anU is king, and Larrien quit.
And Bitty... You havn't been in Dustari all the long =x...

You see... The republic would mean that the people choose who they want. And I'm making the draft right now so read that before you run off and vote for this.

And yet again... I never got a vote. So it wasn't a public poll.

I've been in Dustari for a good year and half or more I mind u --.--

:\


And if there was a republican, everything would get waay to confusing, and people would end up using bribery to choose the new king and such, which would make even that unstable.


Both the monarchy and the republican has their drawbacks, but right now more people want monarchy, know how to run a monarchy, and it has run fine.

You've only been on the forums for three months...
And I do not remember you.

It would be be confusing. There is no differnce with confusion if you elect your king or your prince.

I propose we enterain the Republic idea, and refine it over the next while.

We have a vacuum of leadership right now - no (popular) King, a very new prince, a former King in limbo, we don't need to add to that a vacuum of no tested structure. We would surely collapse.

We should try the whole Republic or partial republic thing in a few weeks, hash out the system in the mean time (not just say 'yes Zurk/no Zurk) and work it out so it can be stable before implementing anything.

Our only hope for any new system to work is to make it flawless on paper, and then hope the chaos that occurs when it's practiced can be kept to a minimum. I don't want to sound alarmist, but there are many more systems that look good on paper than work when tried.

So, to start lets at least take the time to make it look good on paper, because if we can't do that, then there is no hope it will work.

Zurk, do post what you come up with, it's an intruging idea.

Well, I don't play Kingdoms, but a Republic sounds more fun.

Monarchy. Republics are crap.

Why's that?

A republic would take away all RPing.
OMG I RP TEH PRESIDENT LELZ

<=(

Maybe there should be a system where if the majority of Dustari seems to oppose a ruler, they can vote them out :)

at least 2/3 majority.

It's too risky to change leaders at whim if the Kingdom is tightly divided.

Also, I am concered that people will refuse to cooperate with the King, believing they will get their way as soon as they can stir up enough decent.
