I have decided that I will let the leaders of neighboring kingdoms choose who will lead Pirates, as they will know what is best. I am not resigning, do not take this as a resignation in any way, shape, or form. This is moreless in case I need to take the last resort.

I apologize for butting in; wait a minute, I don't.
The above mentions that you will not appoint a new governor, that the leaders of the other kingdoms will. If you are indeed supportive of RP means and mechanics for this game, then you are in fact commiting an act of heresy in the sense of pirates. Why should other kingdoms have influence on pirates? Have you forgotten what it means to be a pirate? I can understand for OOC matters why you would want approval for an heir, but then again, the political position of 'Governor' is in fact an elected position.
I can understand if you would not want to appoint your own successor, I commend you for this. Would it not make more sense, then, for your own members to decide who should take the reins after you decide to leave? I mean, who is impacted the most by the next leader after you decide your time is done? The actual members of the kingdom.
I feel your pain on the matters of your family and sickness with those you hold close to you. You must also understand, that these matters were not known to anyone until you responded to this post. To be honest, it is your responsibility as a leader to keep your people informed. By doing so, you will find it easier to find people you can 'trust' with the commands needed to keep the kingdom's flow even when personal matters take you away from the computer.
Good luck, pirates.
