Hail to the King!
Massacar
Trouble in the eUK. We're still under occupation, we just had a really close election, and i'm all out of Milk! But i'm here to speak to you about something even more dire.
There are certain people in the eUK, let's call them "Cave trolls" for code, who wish to destroy a fun part of our community. They wish to abolish our monarchy, a purely roleplay/lulz part of our community.
Woldy, observing his eLands
I've yet to receive any sort of actual rationale as to why something so mean and anti-fun would even be necessary, other than the fact that somebody may be upset that they can't be king.
I find it ridiculous that this particular thing has become such a hot button topic mainly for the reasons mentioned above, there's no harm in Woldy being king. Even if a "vote" was held to abolish the monarchy, many wouldn't recognize it as legitimate, plus then you would be robbing Wayne of his inheritance.
So support our King for life Woldy and the successor Wayne, their holding these titles does absolutely nothing harmful to both the community or the government.
Hail to the King!
Shout, vote, and sub
Cheers, o7

Hail to the King!
Never thought i would say this but yeah
Hail to the King!
The King in the North!
You're not in the Kingdom anymore.
The best thing about it being roleplay is that no-one involved has to give a damn what anyone else thinks.
It can't be abolished by an outside power.
Also I'm a Viscount now. Blow me Vendetta.
Viscount of Argentina and Poland lol
He wishes he had that many lands... Alas the king could not properly gift foreign shores to his Peerage.
APPROVED!
Hail to the king!
A pox on the humourless usurpers! They shall meet the fate of all traitors.

This is the link at the end of my article xD
Awesome 😃
Anti fun? If this is your idea of fun I suggest you get out a little more
I'm out plenty, but it's more fun than having no monarchy at all.
As Duke of Sussex, I can safely say that going out and swanning about my holdings is indeed fun.
Fact : it can't be abolished (you can thank Goku for that). Around 2 years ago : Goku was MoLA and he was able to burn all the legislation. It was legit because it was approved by congress (even If I didn't agree : it was congress choice).
Following that : Monarchy act (with others acts) were burnt. However Woldy and his court decided to continue the monarchy without legislation. Monarchy never had political power (I mean : they never decided to take power by force). It can't be removed by referendum ...
So, Hail King Woldy the wise
PS : following everything he gave to eUK and for eUK : monarchy is recognised for its charity.
Just remove the forums, I did it in Aus and it removed all the legislation and red tape in one quick swoop. To be fair the country has never run so smoothly...
If it's just for RP, why was the King taking a side officially in the elections, hard spamming to get Moriarty. And having his Followers join him. That's him using power to get what he wants. Our case was proven yesterday on the shout feeds. We will have a referendum, you're all welcome to vote to keep the crown.
As pointed out by Kravenn, technically a referendum is not the legal means to dispose of the Monarchy. Also he's still a player, he can endorse whatever candidate he wishes, but he's not messing with the treasury or anything is he? That's what I meant by power, influence is something every player has to some degree or another, even you. BA was doing exactly the same thing, as was Dapper, are you saying that is somehow wrong, or is it only wrong when the king does it?

This is just a token example, you can see plenty in the feeds from yesterday. How is this any different from what Woldy did during the election? How is this different than what most every politically active player did during the election?
"That's him using power to get what he wants."
Just like BigAnt.
It is wrong when he is supposed to be a RP king. Keep RP in a forum or something like that. The reason we want him deposed is because of the power he showed yesterday, which he claimed to not have or use. We have a legal system and voting for a reason, RP can stay in a forum or something
Political advertisement, the power of which you're speaking, is a power every player has and often uses. I fail to see why this is something that you must get rid of, so please enlighten me, what power that is unique to the king did he exercise?
Also don't tell us to go somewhere else, we can do this here if we want to.
P.S. you know you can just hit the reply button right rather than just make a new comment?
I've been playing the game for about ten months until they tried to abolish it I wasn't aware we had a monarchy and thought that the title and the auction of titles, to raise money for charity, was just an in joke between a few players.
If they really think that people will do anything because the king says so then it says more about the unthinking sheep mentality of vendetta who mindlessly follow and bleat whatever their leader tells them.
After importing voters for months and using their multies they're probably embarrassed at how close the election was and as always rather than accept that the problem lies with them they have to find a scapegoat, they can no longer blame TUP, Keers et al so it looks as if the monarchy is the new target of vendetta.
As I can see you're still online and haven't yet responded to me I can only assume you're formulating a very well thought out and rational response. Take your time.
Taking a shower, but still my reply is well formulated.
Here's our problem with the title King and the power that comes with it. Every month we have elections, to see who will run the country for the month. Every CP candidate has propaganda and something to prove and something to say. Now each Candidate is backed by a party, in some cases many parties, who usually vote for their Candidate, but sometimes they want to sway votes their way and make articles and spam feeds. This is acceptable because we see it in real life. Now lets take a look at the real life Queen, tell me what would happen if she came out and said Vote for this party or vote for that person, what would happen? The reason I say this is because even though she isn't affiliated with a party, people would follow blindly to a monarchy, whether or not it has true power. The power we see Woldy having is, because he has a big RP following, at the snap of his fingers he can change the outcome of many elections, simply because they want to save the king, or hail the Monarch. King is not an official title, if you'd like to petition for it to become one, by all means. But until that day comes, we will hold a referendum to see who wants a king and who doesn't. If majority wins, then by the laws of Democracy, it is an abdication on the throne.
While I see your point, I still disagree with the need to disband the monarchy. People often vote blindly, whether it be based on party politics or endorsement. If BA or Dapper were king I highly doubt this would be a conversation that your camp would be organising.
If we ever do a referendum we need to find a neutral third party to run it. Not BA, not Dapper, etc. In other words a foreigner who has no interest in UK politics etc, and this person needs to be agreed upon (by both camps, not just one group) not just selected.
I also think that any and all voters need to have been in the UK for at least 1 month prior to this referendum to help cut down on the import voters that are already here.
Also. If we want to get technical and bring real life into this, the monarch has the power to dissolve parliament and force a re-vote. I don't see Woldy trying to do this. Also if he abdicates then we get a new king, Wayne.
Wayne4King
either remove the title of knight from your game name or only post "in a forum or something like that"
Took the words out of my fingers, couldn't type fast enough. Typical sheep hypocrisy of Vendetta
Technically unless you're playing this game with your real name on your account we're all roleplaying...
Hit the nail on the head, if one person can call themself Sir Robert, another person can call themself King. It's just a game, and the titles grant no actual power to the person who claims them, so who what's all the fuss about?
Sir Robert comes from a family name, nae an RP one 😉
Then I should be Sir Banana in that case. Do I flout it? No, now don't be a dick.

Robert, You get my point.
LONG LIVE KING WOLDY

voted. Fully agree.
Long love the King!
Long live the King!
Long live King Woldy !
People have about as much right to strip the "King" from King Woldy as they do to strip the "Big" from BigAnt. He can call himself whatever he wants. So in that vein...
Long live King Woldy!
