MarkB should be replaced by me.
I was wrongfully removed from Governorship by means of members abusing flaws in the system, and I was doing a much better job than those who came after me.
First, I was much more active then either of them. I could have very well kept rights from the other officials and it would have worked well as I was active on a daily basis. I watched members carefully and promoted them based on the effort they put into the kingdom as well as GK in general and their accomplishments.
Secondly, I did not change the main respected aspects of the kingdom set forth by Ghost Pirate (kingdom name... ranks... its aspect of RPing). In fact, I even improved upon them with minor changes as to not ruin them.
Also, generally speaking, I did not ignore the members nor the general will of the kingdom. After I set forth a system that the kingdom did not agree upon, I changed it after the majority showed their concern for this. In the first place, it was ment only to improve RPing (as the other kingdom's populations were allowed to conduct themselves simply as a global PKing guild, while I believed the Crescent Pirates should keep with the ways of RPing). I did, however, "ignore" (not necessarily, it's more like adressing and counter-arguing) and try to do away with the arguments and opinions which would NOT help the kingdom, but make it worse and show disrespect for the base of the kingdom and its RPing aspects (example: people wanting to be allowed to be on the kingdom's RP tag, using an RP name, but do EVERYTHING except for RP... this is not what this RPing kingdom is for). I tried to please all members as well. People though the RPing rules were too strict, so I told them that if they put "-OOC-" in their nickname, they could use the kingdom tag and be OOC without having to use parenthesis for all their OOC dialogue, but this should not be done often or become a habbit as RPing activity is needed in a kingdom.
Finally, it would set things straight and back in order by bringing me back in (I did have to put things back in order in my first step up to Governor, and I could do it again). I was removed wrongfully by members who were being tricked and convinced into replacing me with another. The members who removed me were NOT ment to have the power to do so, yet they did- thus, a flaw in the system. Since I've left, everything and anything I worked to change and do to make things better was ruined. The RPing standards (and we all know RPing is what a kingdom is really all about...) definitly went completely downhill the second I was removed. If the actions are not reversed, we'll just continue to see the problems we've been witnessing since then- lack of kingdom stability, Governor getting bored with the kingdom, Governor being inactive or busy with things not related to the kingdom, etc. I actually cared about the kingdom. I was actually chosen to Govern and favored even before Valder chose me because I could make something of the kingdom. I didn't have to buy anyone out or convince people into "illegally" removing their leader to replace him with me. I simply spoke up and showed my concern for the kingdom as an old member of the Pirate Crew (as a member years ago on Graal 2001) and always a friend to the kingdom. |
