Forum:Royal Appearances

So... I didn't expect to put this up for a vote, but I feel that it's necessary. Not just to control the amount of royal characters in DARP, but also as a precaution to avoid another uproar here in DARP. We've gone through this before and I don't feel interested in having it happen again. You will all be able to say your piece in the comments section once you hear what I have to say about the situation. You can all look over whatever discussion may happen and then come to your own decision. That said, I expect you all to act civilly. Should you not, do not even think it will go unpunished. We're civil humans, not savages.

On one hand, the concept of having royalty here is cool and interesting. On the other, we don't want OP characters, let alone unrealistic ones. I mean, what if someone wants to make an American King? It's not realistic, plus that's kind of... I don't know, very powerful. Therefore, I'm proposing 3 potential solutions (one that has 2 options within it). Whatever the majority decides will go into effect immediately after the vote finishes.

Option One

The first option is: we allow royals on DARP and don't limit the countries to which they can rule. For instance, there can be royals from USA, Mexico, South Korea, etc etc. There's no limit as to which countries are monarchies, but a user can only have three royals at a time. Kings, Queens & heirs to the throne cannot be in the UK, excluding them having a valid reason IC (aka special exceptions). They have their duties; they cannot be in another country when they have one to run. This means that only those royals in England are the ones with limited duties (i.e. Carn's Owen Connor, Prince of Norway with no actual duties to keep him from living here).

Option Two

Option 2.1

Option 2.1 is: we allow royals on DARP, but they can only come from real monarchies. For example, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain, etc. Kings, Queens & heirs to the throne cannot be in the UK, excluding them having a valid reason IC (aka special exceptions). They have their duties; they cannot be in another country when they have one to run. That said, you have only one royal character. The purpose of this is to give everyone a chance, since real, remaining monarchies are few.

Option 2.2

Option 2.2 is the same as option 2.1. However, instead of having just one royal per user, we expand it to two royals per users. There are no limits on the amount of royals in a family, right? But the limits in the other two options remain; no kings, queens & heirs to the throne in the UK without a valid reason.

Option Three

No royals are allowed in DARP. Any existing ones need to be either modified or marked inactive.
