What can we do to patch it up?"

Such noticing and patching was the whole intent of this thread.
It seems that when you were Chancellor and still another rank later on, you were asked by several Kingdom leaders to assist in the rebuild. Your only addition to Dustari was in the stripping down. You made yourself the key critic of all that was wrong without assisting in her rebuild either as a kingdom or in RP. You continuosly compared her to 2K1. I understand your wish to go back to the past as it was something you evidently participated well in. It is far beyond my conprehension however, how you might be considered constructive regarding todays kingdom.

Gryffon, we all wish to live in yesterday at some point in life - but it is in the present that we live. Building a Kingdom to fit the present, as most people are in the present, is the major concern. It's faults we try to work on....but, not by saying the Kingdom stinks - rather by saying, we can make it better. It is like 'a cup half full and a cup half empty' if you understand that concept.

I would like to think optimistically in that Dustari can and will survive the critics and become once again a kingdom of prosperity and happiness amongst its people. I feel it is a matter of attitude and the ability to "want" to make things better rather than destroy.

As to Royalty, Padren and I are both seeking a qualified candidate to take the throne in the future. Several are being considered. Unfortunately, Anastasia could not deal with those who would criticize her attempts to build.
She mentioned to me that people want to be leaders, but when they so become, they "poop out" or better words, they sit back and do nothing. The biggest problem exists in those who want to be leaders without responsibility. Solve that and we solve the universe
