I'm not so much opposed to you messing with the world as just being so far removed from everyone else. The Conclave is the central focus of this. Either you win their approval, sabotage their opinions of others or turn your sights on the individual members themselves to blackmail/threaten your way to the top.

Speaking of which, I've created the official Conclave draft list. 150 people who will elect the next Monarch.



So obviously, a good ruler naturally appeals to the nobles, has a good sense of stewardship and is in favor of helping small businesses within their kingdom. The Conclave reflects these factions and will easily get a ruler elected who pleases them, but you could always gather the support of the others en masse. So say for a publicity stunt you promise to grant farmers extra bonuses for producing enough crops if you are monarch. You could get the niche vote of 4 farmers, but maybe you'll lose the support of the merchants who have to pay for that. Or maybe you're naturally a pious person. That promises the votes of the 10 priests, but what about those 12 who are in the Conclave through shady means? They surely wouldn't want a goody two-shoes as their king. Etc. etc.

So basically as you're playing the Conclave is forming opinions about you. So you could use a bit of strategy to try and get enough people to vote for you, or try and forge your own way to kinghood.

I think I'll make a well-traveled hunter/adventurer prince and his drinking buddies. Cunning in his own way, but no politician.

aha - that pic is awesome ^^

I'm not sure exactly what kinda role I'll play - but i'll see what kinda other roles there are from the other players and then go from there and fill a role which isn't taken, for the diversity.

Just like I promised, the OOC is up. :)

I think I'm interested. I'll think about it.
