Rollback of Time

Ever wished you could go back in time?  Fix mistakes that you made?  Do something better?  Today, for the first time in months, you’ll have that chance. 

King Nicho’s Royal Decree

In a Crown Prince exclusive, King Nicho has sent us his royal decree!  More news on the new king to come!

Hail, citizens of the kingdom. Today, a day that willl live in infamy forever, I, Emperor Nicho the Great, was crowned. Rejoice, good people! We have entered an age of prosperity and happiness that will never be rivaled-for those who embrace myself and your new nobility, Remodus, that is.

Former King Kriss’s Generosity

A statement from our former king Kriss about what he did.

In spite of the well publicised differences between myself and the Remnants Alliance I have decided that it was in the best interest of the KOTW community in general that I grant the request of Duchess Sam Blake, a member of Remnants that I have the highest regard and utmost respect for to donate enough of my gold to make her Prince, Nicho Kelly King, in time for his birthday at the end of this month…

New King Takes the Throne

The land of KOTW has a new king at last.  Kriss Lawson took the throne today after a holing the crown for 23 consecutive days.  Now, in case you’re thinking Kathy has been defeated, don’t get your hopes up yet.  Kathy was the one who gave her money to Kriss so he could be king.  The question is, is she finished with being a monarch, or is this just a rest?

Death to Bottom Feeding

You know that annoying little thing called bottom feeding?  Where high ranked player demolish their buildings so they can pick on lower ranked ones?  Well, you can wave goodbye to that.

Don is implementing a new change today to stop bottom feeders.  From now on, structures will have no point value.  Instead, BSs and RSs will increase in value.  Due to this change, we might see some reshuffling of ranks.

So…now what?

Well, it’s been several days since I’ve brought news to the world…and the world has been missing me as much as I’ve been missing them I’m sure.  Actually, besides an ever increasing busy schedule and a problem finding the time to write something, I’ve been struggling with a severe case of writer’s block!  So…now what?  Well, I just wanted to say that I’m scouring the boards and sending out messages hoping to find some news that’s both informative and entertaining.  So, no, I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth (sorry to those of you who hoped to rid the world of me!), and I’ll be back with more interesting news soon!  If you have a feature or anything you want to see, drop me a note (http://apps.facebook.com/kingoftheworld/ViewUser.aspx?uID=616713202).  I’ll do my best to comply! 

 

Time for a New Monarch?

“Alot of people seem to be sick of the current Monarch and are saying it in private channel. But lets actually bring this in to the public and do something about it,” began Stephen James Bloor (Establishment).  Is this the true feeling of the kingdom?  Well, let’s take a look at some facts and opinions and see.

 Well, as tiresome as some people may find Kathy’s reign, it is not the longest reign in KOTW history.  Let’s look at the top three longest reigns of the monarchy (note: two kings Brian and Craig Parrish are excluded from this analysis as their records have been lost.)

• The longest period of consecutive days as King or Queen was by Kim Williams who reigned from October 24, 2007 - December 3, 2007.  However, totally, Kim was queen for 60 days.
• Kathy has the second longest reign of consecutive days, having been queen since April 24, 2008.  She has been queen for a total of 22 days.
• Yohanes Hermawan only reigned for 10 day periods at the longest, but he was king for a total of 22 days as well.

So, as we can see, Kathy’s reign has not been the longest in either consecutive days or total time.  But perhaps it isn’t the length of time that is wearying the people.  Maybe things have changed since Queen Kim’s reign.  Actually, this probably is true.  The queen or king plays a much more significant role than they once did.  The main reason for this is they simply have more publicity and opportunities for propaganda.    As Janet Hurely said, “I still don’t like nor support the “Queen of Firsts” column in The Record, which inspired me to start the group, along with others who agree, many of which have been playing for a while I might add.  If The Queen is entitled to promote herself in a blog, then we are entitled to join a group to discuss future plans. Nothing wrong with that, we deliberately didn’t even make it secret.”  The queen being able to promote herself over an extended period of time is one of the reasons some people are tiring of her as queen.

The group that Janet is referring to is a group she created called, “Best to Shut Up.”  Their purpose?  As their group page says, “For supporters of a new monarch and a free press.”  Currently there are 28 members, and that number is growing.  Members include leaders of alliances such as Establishment, Remnant, Exodus, and other key independent players.

Why don’t they just dethrone Kathy?  The problem is, Kathy has 205,266,961 more gold than the second place citizen, Joe Sciarrino.  Then it comes to the question of who the next monarch would be.  Will it be Joe, Princess Sam’s boyfriend Nicho Kelly, or Dulitha?  In order to overcome Kathy, these players will have to work together.  The question is…will they?

Letter from Concerned Citizen: The Queen, Her Consort, and Their Reign of Terror

The following article was sent to Crown Prince in protest to Queen Kathy’s post about the Remnant in her paper. 

So apparently the Queen is of the opinion that,

“Will they do what we have seen so many times? Will they run and hide in other alliances on a temporary basis only to emerge later as a united front? Will the make friends with others, gain their trust, and then leave them once it suits to get back together? We’ve seen this tactic before. We’ve seen alliances join others for protection only to leave them high and dry after stealing secrets and coveted alliance information.” (In reference to the Alliance the Remnant)

So wait… Exiles are hiding in other alliances and I don’t see her verbally attacking them…hmm must be because their leader is working with her consort that she do not mention their actions…

“Or will they simply stay together under a new name, as to get away from all the agreements that they have with alliances. After all, your alliance may have an agreement with Remnant, not whatever the new name of the alliance will be. A technicality, but a deal breaker nonetheless.”

From what I hear her dear consort attacked his own friends just the other day. He struck down what? 3 friends in one night? Who has Remnant betrayed? Have they broken their pacts with VC and Exodus? I think not. Nor did they break their pact with the former alliance Outlaws. And how can she condemn Vic Woo for taking 5 Remnant BS and them letting him rejoin when Kanul of Anarchy is at this moment doing the same. Why has he not been called out too? He has taken 9 BS from his own alliance in the last two or 3 days, and was welcomed back. Again she is calling out the flaws of Remnant and ignoring even worse flaws within other alliances. Where is the justice the Queen claims she stands for? Where is she getting her information because it is clearly flawed. Why is the Queen allowing one alliance to do the thing she is condemning another for?

“Have no fear, The Record will print a complete list of those Rems who were part of this reign of terror … regardless of the alliance of which they are part. And should they decide to stick together, then The Record will hope to include the new alliance’s information.”

Also, who will keep an eye on her and her consorts reign of terror? Does he not rival Remnant in BS? Does she not now have 17 CL’s? Did He not destroy a whole alliance without remorse while bottom feeding? Does she not tell her consort when her loyal subjects are coming out of protection? He seems to be picking them off right as they come out… Des she not take gold from her subjects but give no protection or gold in return? Did they both not abandon VC? So far all I have seen are 2 very selfish people who take and take and enjoy having power over the citizens of this great kingdom. All of her decrees have been to her benefit to protect her and her consort.

“The Record just hopes that none of the Remnant plans were spoiled through the release of this item. Perhaps this will cause them to be a little more tight lipped. Perhaps they are unaware of the informants in their midst … Don’t worry, Remnants, The Record will keep THAT secret.”

And I am sure the ranks of her alliances are not as secure as she believes. Trust me. They aren’t. Maybe the Queen should look inside for spies before speaking out spies in other alliances. Hmm and what does the public think of its Queen spying on them?? If she were truly a good and loved queen then why would she need spies? If you are truly the proper Queen you would love ALL of your people including Remnant.

I call for a show of support in the removal of a Queen who supports tyrants, takes from the people but gives no reward for your loyalty, abandoned her own alliance VC, and spies on her people. I call for a new Queen or King to step forth. One who can be trusted to work for the people in the name of ALL people, instead of for him or herself and their consort under the guise of it being in the name of the people! It is insulting to have a Queen who claims to be for the people but is instead using her people and their loyalty to her own ends.

Sincerely,
An Extremely Concerned Citizen

Happy Mothers Day

Just wanted to say thanks to all the moms that put up with their kids and husbands playing KOTW 24/7 and for being understanding when we take up the computer all day because of an alliance invasion!  We love you, and happy mothers day!
