I nominate Zeppistan and Stephistan, too. Being a newb, I have no idea if 2 nominations will do anything, but here's a try.

hmmm...

and i disagree.. formal dances shouldn't be royalty...
the rest i agree

I agree with Avia disagreeing with Formal Dances.

I also nominate Incertonia and The Blue Viper.

I was in the old General Forum Royalty. I was a jester.

Would you like to do so again?

I say we hoist Stephistan up to the position of Liberal Queen.

...now to find a Conservative King (to make it fair and balanced.)

How bout me? Or, if that is not possible, I can be the Conservative Duke or something! Take it from anybody, I am the rightiest right wing nutjob you ever saw!

Oh...well in that case...fine, but only if I can be the Liberal Prince? (I think I'm moderate liberal, but definitely on the left side--except when it comes to Communism...)

Would you like to do so again?

If I can't be granted a higher position. Can't I be prince or something. I'll still be entertaining. Just with a better title.

I would have to think that Catholic Europe would be the Conservative King, no?

I would have to think that Catholic Europe would be the Conservative King, no?
Why don't we give him the title of "Pope"? I mean...that was an awfully high and powerful position in the days of Feudalism...

I would like a royal blooded title. But I'll still be an entertainer.

Can I be a prince or something?

I would like to advocate bloody revolution against all those that set themselves up higher than the common woman and man. If it comes to hanging the last of the royalty with the guts of the last of their lapdogs, so be it.

Don't you feel a little pathetic campaigning for a royal title on a ficticious royal court on an internet forum?

I'm not actually campaigning, that's a strong word. And I'm not royal in real life, so it'd be tight to be royal on NS.

What if I were king? According to geneologic research done by my family...I am a descendent of Charlemagne...

I imagine very few of us are of royalty in real life...but you're complaining about someone nominating you for a useless list that's just done in humor. Who really gives a damn?

Well ya see, I was already nominated by the coordinator of this thing to be a jester like I was before, I was asking to be prince instead.

It doesn't really matter to me. It's just fun alright. Stop trying to flamebait me, thank you very much.

Ok, you have a position now.

I wonder if Big Mad Vikings is still around?

Ok, you have a position now.

I renounce it - I am not the Disgruntled Revolutionary - I am a disgruntled revolutionary (or, more accurately a counter-revolutionary, given that no recognised royalty exists at present). If you would be so kind as to take me off your list - there is quite enough symbolic hierarchy to discourage and intimidate the new poster here on this board already.

What if I were king? According to geneologic research done by my family...I am a descendent of Charlemagne...
Funny, as I'm a decendant of Constantine.

What are the qualifications for being General Forum Royalty?

Funny, as I'm a decendant of Constantine.
Any others? In addition to the greatest (but not most remember) French ruler, Charlemagne, I think I also have 1 Italian King, a couple Spanish, and a half dozen or so French kings...

What are the qualifications for being General Forum Royalty?
18 years or older.
20 years of working experience.
At least 2 academic titles.
And your goal in live must be world peace.

Im goin to bed... I will update the list in the morning.

18 years or older.
20 years of working experience.

...

...
Can't you tell I was kidding?

Upon review, I'm going to have to agree with BWO. I remember when I first came around, the "General Royalty" was very intimidating. They had their own little clique and it was really hard to get anyone to talk to you or take you seriously. The last thing we need is to do that to people again. I'd like to rescind my nominations. No offense to Incertonia or TBV, but the General Royalty is just alot of unnecessary elitism.

Wow, I don't know many 18 year olds with 20 years of working experience.

Last time, the general forum royalty was a bunch of jerks. This time it doesn't have to be if we don't let it become that.

We don't need elitism. I just wanna be royal man!

Wow, I don't know many 18 year olds with 20 years of working experience.
Uugh...you definatly are not qualified.

Of course I nominate Zeppistan...

Others, for sure Incertonia, Black Forrest and Berkylvania and CanuckHeaven!

Formal Dances does not belong in the Forum Royalty, she is to conservatives to what TRA is to liberals.. nuff said!

Who was a jerk?

Most of them, besides Beeker. beeker appointed me as Jester.

Ok. Not TRA then. Errrmm....how about Mongoose Spatula then?

Bow down before me foul peasant and repent thy churlish comments!!!


lol.


Now why does being voted King bring to mind Denis' conversation with Arthur in The Holy Grail............


That being said - thank you.

For my evil counterpart...errrr - Conservative King, I'd nominate Purly Euclid.

He can pick his own foul temptress to rule alongside him.... :p

Uugh...you definatly are not qualified.
Yes, I spotted the sarcasm. You didn't.

Thats just afterwards talk.

I personally have no problem with people setting up their own region or whatever and declaring themselves royalty of that (though good luck to them in trying to find some commoners to toil the virtual soil for them...). If you want to play at keeping castles, that is your own affair. This is as distinct from calling yourselves the 'General Forum Royalty' and creating the impression that it is somehow officially recognised by the site.

This is not merely me on some anti-monarchy kneejerk reaction here - I would say the same if you all decided to call yourselves "General Forum Army" or "General Forum Government". It is the claim to authority and a mandate that I disagree with.

This impression is reinforced if moderators take on titles within it. Call yourselves the 'Internet Royalty' or whatever you want, but I think it should be made clear that all that is going on is that without any official backing you have declared that you hold privileged positions above other posters and newcomers.

Did the country of England ever officially give backing to English kings!?

Gee... now who do I want for my Queen.......




.... I guess I'll just have to bow to polular opinion and accept the woman who already holds that position in my life....

:D


Hey Steph... git yer butt over to my desk and give your King a kiss!

I wonder if Big Mad Vikings is still around?

Nope. *sigh* He left before the move to Jolt. :(

Oh, I would be remiss if I didn't also mention new forum royalty.. Holy Word!

Did the country of England ever officially give backing to English kings!?

Originally, only at sword and knife point. If you didn't recognise them as your superiors they wound send round the big men to try you for treason.

Nope. *sigh* He left before the move to Jolt. :(
But there was a quote of his in the New Hall of ex-Nations thread. :confused:

While I get your point, I think that the people here would not elect people who would act in that matter.


Personally, I take the votes as a sign of respect in a meaningless poll. No more. No less.

And I thank everybody for that.

Gee... now who do I want for my Queen.......

Hey Steph... git yer butt over to my desk and give your King a kiss!
/me wonders if $me is a prince...or duke...or barron...or anything...

I'm the Prince of Happiness.

I love that title.

All of you unhappy people bow down to me, unless you are happy!

And bow down to my superiors, King Zep and Queen Steph while you're at it. Or I'll make you unhappy!

This is cool.

But there was a quote of his in the New Hall of ex-Nations thread. :confused:

Perhaps he's back?

While I get your point, I think that the people here would not elect people who would act in that matter.

Given that there appears to be little or no apparatus here to carry out an election, your comment is somewhat misleading - and surely the royalty are not elected?

Perhaps he's back?
Dunno. The original post was made by a "guest". There were lots of "guests" posting there.

Can I be "Ye Royal Member At Large?"

I like titles that reek of innuendo.

Dunno. The original post was made by a "guest". There were lots of "guests" posting there.

Hmm. Well, I hope he comes back. I liked him.

Most of them, besides Beeker. beeker appointed me as Jester.

Yes, Beeker was great...

Hmm. Well, I hope he comes back. I liked him.
Ditto. Silly Mountain Walks was cool too.

I think I'd like to nominate Lakren to be my Princess. Whether she wants to be a sister princess or a wife princess I don't know, but I'd like her to be a princess.

And I was just about to nominate you, Cuneo... ;)

Given that there appears to be little or no apparatus here to carry out an election, your comment is somewhat misleading - and surely the royalty are not elected?

Well, it sure seems to be operating in that manner. you would have to discuss that with the owner of this thread.

Frankly I don't really care. I come here for debate.

But, like I said, it is nice to get a show of respect from some of my political allies AND adversaries.


As to those sucking up for regal appointments.... I CAN be bought! I'm especially fond of fine cognacs....

:D

Any others? In addition to the greatest (but not most remember) French ruler, Charlemagne, I think I also have 1 Italian King, a couple Spanish, and a half dozen or so French kings...

well.. i know for a fact about dutch nobility.. my sister who is seriously into geneology claims irish royalty.. i didnt know ireland had royalty??? Other than that.. 3 presidents..

I would like to nominate myself for the title of "That Other Guy".

Listen to the king. He's a democrat. I'm the democrat prince around here. So I support Zepp as my king.

So what's in the royal treasury for us?

I would like to nominate myself for the title of "That Other Guy".Dude, stop being so anal.

I nominate Foxx for "Court Jester"

Hopefully some cognac!

Sheesh you're slow sometimes..... lol.

j/k

Zepp, what exactly is Cognac?

I want money, and valuables, and stuff!

We shall get some cognac immediately, and all the other stuff we want!

*Looks over at Zepp.*

Alright, all ye humble servants and followers of King Zepp and his court, which includes me, please start making offerings!

You'd think I asked for Myrh or something esoteric....


but for your loyalty and initiative, I shall grant you the title of lord of the treasury. Please try to keep your pilfering, kickbacks, and bribe taking down to reasonable levels and ensure that I am safely ensconsed in a blanket of plausible deniability.

Ooohooohoooh!
*bounces up and down*
Can I be the royal serving wench? I can supply my own handcuffs and drinks :D!

Oooooh and cognac! Can *I* serve cognac to people? Pleeeeease?
*looks pleading*

well.. i know for a fact about dutch nobility.. my sister who is seriously into geneology claims irish royalty.. i didnt know ireland had royalty??? Other than that.. 3 presidents..

Geneologists in my family claim the same about the Irish royalty (o'flynn, o'dea and o'rook), and my sister in law apparently has a family castle... seeing as I've never been invited for so much as a weekend visit, I hold true to my theory that it's entirely bullshit.

I nominate Purly Euclid for Conservative King as well.

Ooohooohoooh!

Hmmmm, while having a serving wench would certainly be helpful, you shall have to restrain your use of the handcuffs to the various nobles and naves that shall find themselves in court. My own lustfull thoughts are more than fulfilled by my Queen.

But hey - knock yourself out.

:confused: It really has been a long time since I've roamed these threads... I have no idea who these people are. What happened to the RR's and CP's, NEE's and LG's...

:(

And yes, I would like a 17th cup of coffee... why do you ask? :p
And hmm, my fluffy handcuffs are usually used more for my own entertainment really... mainly because I'm amused easily, I guess.

Wow, I don't know many 18 year olds with 20 years of working experience.

I understand. But remember, the last Royalty had no power anyway. And I do not think this should turn into a debate either. And the only qualification for these people is that they spamalot.

Can I nominate MKULTRA as the real heir to the throne, yet locked in the attic due to his gibbering insanity. And Bodies Without Organs is obviously the court philosopher. Living in the lap of luxary, while condeming the pomp and circumstance of it all.

(In all seriousness, while Forum Royalty would intimidate some newcomers, be warned there's also those it would have the opposite effect on. If there had been one when I arrived it would have been like a red rag to a bull;))

Gee... now who do I want for my Queen.......




.... I guess I'll just have to bow to polular opinion and accept the woman who already holds that position in my life....

:D


Hey Steph... git yer butt over to my desk and give your King a kiss!
Well I would hope so... :D

No official is backing us dude.

We are simply declaring ourselves to be above you, on our own words, not backed by anyone but each other.

If you choose to believe we're above you, then you do that.

List Updated.

I would like to nominate myself for the title of "That Other Guy".

I'll second That Other Guy over there...hey, don't i recognise ya from somewhere? Didn't we share a thread t'other day...

*goes back to her spinning wheel and flicks her ermine-edged cuffs back*

l like spinning new threads :D

I nominate myself as "Head Revolutionary" so that I can overthrough the decadent filthy monarchy :P

That serving wench needs some food to serve...so i nominate myself as Royal Chief Cook (but not bottle washer)

any volunteers to be bottle washer? I'll treat ya well ;)

Ok, we now need a Conservative Queen and no, not Formal Dances.. any one but her! :sniper:

Conservative queen, conservative queen, who would that be?

I think Letila should have some position also. He could be like the Underground Revolutionary or something.

Ok, we now need a Conservative Queen and no, not Formal Dances.. any one but her! :sniper:Well, I'll put myself forward if there's no other candidates. I think I'd look quite fetching in a ballgown. :D

Well, I'll put myself forward if there's no other candidates. I think I'd look quite fetching in a ballgown. :D

Ok, since you're already Forum Royalty now any way.. if you want the spot.. but I didn't know you were a conservative..lol

Well, I'll put myself forward if there's no other candidates. I think I'd look quite fetching in a ballgown. :D
I thought you were a flaming bleeding heart liberal!

I thought you were a flaming bleeding heart liberal!Liberal. Pah. I'm a dangerous lleft wing extremist I'll have you know. Or I was. Then the chance of some power came along so I decided to sell out all my principles. Surely that makes me a perfect conservative. ;)

I think we should have a General Forum Royalty Ball.

Liberal. Pah. I'm a dangerous lleft wing extremist I'll have you know. Or I was. Then the chance of some power came along so I decided to sell out all my principles. Surely that makes me a perfect conservative. ;)
Oh, ok, sure. Lets not turn this into a debate please.

I think we should have a General Forum Royalty Ball.
I was planning of doing so, after all the titles are filled.

Cool, have you updated after I nominated my princess.

I see it, you have.

One problem though. I'm going to be gone for a while so I may not make the Ball.

Can we set it at kind of a later date if possible?

Everybody's gotta look at this.

I have an idea for the palace.

LOLOL! But I dont think Purly Euclid is gay!



Oh, and for anyone viewing the options for Royal HOuses, please give me your input on which one you like best or if you have found a different house you think would be suitable for the Royalty and for the Upcoming Royal Ball.

Uh oh...

Watch your backs for the Revolution.

Uh oh...

Watch your backs for the Revolution.
We will. *glances furitively around*

Ok, I nominate Celestial Paranoia for the Conservative Queen!

Is she conservative? If she is, sounds good to me.

Is she conservative? If she is, sounds good to me.


I'm not sure.. but it would be one way to stop the Revolution.. hehe. I actually can't recall her getting into too many political debates.

Do we know any conservative gay guys? They could be the Queen? *LOL*

Great idea! The royal family would then look like we accept gay people and therefore the gay people of NS would like us!

four words: holy shit

Is that a good holy shit or a bad holy shit for my palace idea?

Are those all possibilities for the royal palace. Or are we having all of those and the Royal palace one is like the main place?

Is that a good holy shit or a bad holy shit for my palace idea?
Good Holy shit.

They are all possibilities.

Cool, I like all of them.

Nice.

Boy, this brings back memories.

I think I'll do now what I used to do back then.

*Sits up in the rafters and blows raspberries at the royalty.*

How is it I, among the oldest forum participating nations have not been nominated. I am outraged! However, I am not about to lower myself to nominate myself for this.

Would you like a position sir?

Would you like a position sir?
Of course I would. However, I am too modest to personally request it. So I will instead request that someboy were to nominate me for a position...

Something that stresses the "ancientness" of my nation. And the fact that the Late Great Amerigan War is still so very famous. Even though I beraly participate on the normal NS forum. I hang around general though...

Hmm... I vaguely remember Amerigo...

*smooths her skirts and crosses her ankles* ;)

Aha perhaps I could be some sort of ghost or phantom of the NS Royal Court.

I guess people just tell me what they want.

To help boost the amount of clergy men, could I be Renegade Priest?

I was in the old General Forum Royalty. I was a jester.

I fought against the old General Forum Royalty. I am not going to right now, but maybe I will later.

*shrugs*
I guess people just tell me what they want.

I suppose my choice goes in for Cham D' Or. The Texas mansion with the dome.

It doesn't specify the number of bedrooms so we can make up however many we need.

i want to be royal :(

Don't we all. *cries*

To help boost the amount of clergy men, could I be Renegade Priest?
Done.

Do you think I should be royalty?

Oh wait no. I have formed revolutions against every NationStates General Forum Royalty thread so far. Well, the first one I just became a very active participant in it.

You could join me in the (soon to be) revolutionary clery. You could be Renegade Altar-boy.

Oh yeah I still have that nation... I hope it doesn't die from inactivity one of these days.

Whatever floats your boat.

Although, I don't have a church. Prefering to burst into other priest's church and delivering rabble rousing sermons.

eg:

Iohan the mullere hath ygrounde smal, smal, smal;
The Kynges sone of hueuene schal paye for al.
Be war or ye be wo;
Knoweth your freend fro your foo;
Haueth ynow, and seith "Hoo";
And do wel and bettre, and fleth synne,
And seketh pees, and hold your therinne;
And so biddeth Iohan Trewman and alle his felawes.

What do you think?

Bah, it worked in 1381

Grandfatherly Phantom of the Court eh?

I dunno... Grandfatherly makes me sound too kind and docile. The docile, I am, kind I am not!

How about ancient?

Ancient Phantom of the Court...
Sorta... nah...

Oooh I like the sound of that one...

Has both the "ancientness" part... and the "moderatoredness"

istanbul is Constantinople...

US President George W Bush has told a roomful of top Pentagon brass his administration would never stop looking for ways to harm the United States.

The latest installment of misspeak from a president long known for his malapropisms came during a signing ceremony for a new US$417 billion defence appropriations bill that includes US$25 billion in emergency funding for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we," Bush said.

The Republican incumbent, who is in a tight race for reelection against Democrat John Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, used the 11-minute presentation to underscore his commitment to US troops.

On hand for the ceremony were Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, deputy Defence Secretary Paul Wolfowitz and Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.


SORRY THIS IS NON-SEQUITOR BUT HAD TO SHARE A LAUGH.

istanbul is Constantinople...

No - Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, been a long time gone, Constantinople, now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night.

Yea best not be speaking about me! For I am the Ghost of the Late Great Baron Von Amerigo Der First! *chains rattle* Buried here... below!

And I...

boooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Excuse me. Ahem. To continue... And I was a respectable citizen and I looked out for youse grandparents. Made sure da neighborhood was safe. But now? Respect? Fahgetabourit!

Thy thrones were once mine! Thine royal jewels were mine!

And thine lack of revernce has made Baron Von Amerigo I come back from the dead to haunt this castle and remind you of your own motality!

Ha. How exactly did a baron have a throne and royal jewels?

No - Istanbul was Constantinople, now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople, been a long time gone, Constantinople, now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night.

Yes, but Every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul not Constantinople, so if you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul.

Wow, this is quite the intellectual conversation.

Yes, but Every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul not Constantinople, so if you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul.

Well, yes obviously, but even old New York was once New Amsterdam - why they changed it I can't say - people just liked it better that way.

Ha. How exactly did a baron have a throne and royal jewels?
I took them... from the Kings I slew with my Mighty Bastard Sword of Forum Moderation +1.

... oh. I see.

Amazing. You put someone in a position of power and they think they can lord it over you.

Typical.The Anti-Revolution Department is considering a public Flogging for any conceptualists that dare offend the Queen in such a tasteless manner...

... oh. I see.

Yes. But make no mistake the Kings I slew were Tyrants. Tyrants! For they were evile. They levyied huge taxes upon the peasantry. And then the Elder of the village declared that it should stop! And lo! the bravest warrior were called and given magical powers and special titles.

Duchess Demoness... was one. Her power was Wind.
Lady Menemelcar was one. Her power was Water.
Sir Tahar Joblis was one. His power was Fire.
I, Baron Amerigo was one. My power was Earth.
Um... who else was there... Melkor? Or did he come later...
I forget... it was too long ago.

Well anyways. It was an uphill battle, but the people were freed. And much as the first glorious dictator of Rome when called to lead in a time of trouble resigned once the war was one. I too gave up my sword and returned to my humble farm, just like Maximus... *sob* did... *sob* after death... *sob*... Gladiator was such a sad movie...

Can I nominate Foxx for "The Male Who Was Thought to be Female"...

Victorian != Elizabethan.

I'm not sure.. but it would be one way to stop the Revolution.. hehe. I actually can't recall her getting into too many political debates.

Actually, I am pretty liberal on many things. And I did debate alot in the beginning, but I have found that over the past year my head hurts after banging it agianst a brick wall. As a matter of fact, we have usually been on the same side and agreeing with each other on a few topics.

But that's alright, I was part of the first "Royalty" and I dealt with the revolution. So I bid you guys good luck!

Ehh...That's creepy.

Geneologists in my family claim the same about the Irish royalty (o'flynn, o'dea and o'rook), and my sister in law apparently has a family castle... seeing as I've never been invited for so much as a weekend visit, I hold true to my theory that it's entirely bullshit.

ill have to ask her which one.. and a castle is easy enough for any rich person to own.. in and of itself, it means nothing..


Of course I would. However, I am too modest to personally request it. So I will instead request that someboy were to nominate me for a position...

Something that stresses the "ancientness" of my nation. And the fact that the Late Great Amerigan War is still so very famous. Even though I beraly participate on the normal NS forum. I hang around general though...

hmm.. the Amerigan war.. im sorry, that seems to not have made it into our history books
