People of PK!
Hereafter I shall convince you that democracy sucks and furthermore that
We need a King!
I could have stopped here but the answers to this post are quite predictable. So I will simulate some possible forthcoming answers:
(1) YAY! GREAT IDEA!!! YOU BE THE KING!
(2) Cool! Let’s get a king.
(3) mhmm
(4) Why do we need a king?
(5) We don’t need a king!
(6) This idea sucks!
(7) LewisCarroll, YOU suck!
(8) Your mom can’t cook!!!
(radu) I read the “Ban Lewis!”-thread. Seems people want me to ban you…
(radu) I read your thread. You’re banned!
(some guy from WoW) radu send me an email. We don’t want you here!
(Boss) You’re the guy who wanted a king? You’re fired!
(wife) A king?! DIVORCE!!!
(kid) I have no father…
(convict) Honey, you dropped the soap!
(guard) Dead man walking!
I guess now everyone understands why I have to go a bit more into detail here.
Of course the most obvious Questions are:
- Why do we need a king?/Why should we have a king?
- What does the king do?
- Why should I want to become king?
First: We don`t NEED a king. But maybe we could have one just for fun (It’s a game after all!)
But if you give the idea some thinking there might be some interesting aspects. For example there was a new goal to become something, not only for the strong but also for the clever, depending how we would get the king. Monarchy could also give some more reasons to pk. And not only One-on-one-fights! For example if we would agree on this: If someone wants to become the new king he has to fight the old king and his army (or only his army e.g. in case of a supplier being king), which would be everyone how liked the old king or who just didn’t want the other person to become new king. Therefore the one who wants to be king had to get an army on his own. Suppliers could help and give various stuff to their party while fighters …well…fight. And by splitting the server into three groups (royalists, opposition and the indifferent there might be more space for tensions leading to fights. Hereby we should again remember that the main reason for all this would be fun!)
The king could also make the PK-Server more interesting. Imagine people on main: “I’ve heard there is a king on PK…”
Other reasons might be found when considering what the king could do.
I think there should be nothing fix for the king to do. Every king can decide what he does or not. Here are some examples (not only the “good” stuff – a king should have the choice to be cruel or bad or…):
- try to get more players to the Server
- organise more events
- repress people not following orders or rules he made up. (He would need some strong people on his side)
- care about noobs
- get a connection to radu or become something like the PK-Priest and talk to Mortos for more Invasions
- care about the royalist subjects to stay king as long as possible
- ..
So it would actually be possible to say: “The King is so good to us people.” Or something similar. (And the king could be given cool surnames while he is king: King… the Cruel or Queen … the Fat…)
But as it is these are just suggestions, since the king can do whatever he wants
(like everyone )
Next: Why should I want to become king?
Answers:
- For sake of the monarchy on PK
- Imagine YOU can say: “I’m King Woodeh/Pro/Segor… the mighty ruler of PK blablabla…” or “I’m Queen Kit/PT… and all the men here have to do what I say MUHAHAHAHA!!!” (Have I said it’s about fun?)
- You could actually do something to contribute to the prosperity and growth of the server and the (again) fun.
- …(maybe you can find some more reasons -> homework)
Ok. I’m tired of writing – here’s the conclusion:
Democracy (because of the polls in forum) or the kind of anarchy we have now is to peaceful for a PK-Server. WE NEED A KING! And if we keep it simple (no fix king-tasks) it’s no problem to install one. The procedure to do that should be simple as well btw (and bloody, cruel, some pk-every1-and-bagjump-your-a..-of-way)
Everthing I wrote is just suggestion! If no one is interested then we just wont have a king (obvious isn’t it)
We need now:
- some opinions and suggestions on the topic
- (at least) two players who want to be king (rival players/guilds, you are addressed!)
- And a date to fight for THE FIRST KING OF PK (sounds good doesn’t it?)
How about those fights being every weekend (if anyone wants to become the new king) and have to be announced in a special “King-thread” (the first candidate please open such a thread) Oh, I forgot: once we have the first king we could have the enemies attacking his castle/fort. Could be fun…
Last word: The first candidate may choose the place! -> king thread (And if there is only one, he will be king for sure! We don’t want that to happen, do we?!)
First fight: next weekend! (got to push it a little)
