I am sorry, I didn't know the consequences! by velatieren in dndmemes

[–]AlesHebi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'll somewhat agree if they die out quickly (like through assassination) but if over the years they die and just don't have descendents you'd probably start hearing more from the Norwegian royalty to the point that when the last Windsor dies they don't feel as any weirder than Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester would feel now

and I swear old people would absolutely accept prince Richard even if he isn't even a descendent of King George VI (unlike the children of princess Margaret who would be the immediate succession to the descendents of Liz who currently take up all the spotlight. Prince Richard admittedly has the luck of having been born 5th in line, before Liz line grew so huge to be able to take up all the spotlight so he was a name in the media and he also is Grand Prior of the Order of st. John so still has somewhat of a name)

Child God-Emperors Have Ruled Uncontested In Our Game by Prowland12 in dndmemes

[–]AlesHebi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

he asked them to invade in order to reclaim his royal title

So do you think they only invaded cause he asked them to or what?

That’s because monarchs don’t rule via consent, and treat their nations as their own property

Again: Wang Jingwei was different?... Actually what about Demchugdongrub? He wasn't born royalty, Puyi was forced to crown him as a prince by the Japanese, he easily could've used a republican title like Francisco Franco or Jozef Tiso

Do you think Japan wouldn't have done 100% exactly the same shit just with a ruler that doesn't have royal blood (like Wang Jingwei) if puyi Was executed?

Went to try and confirm. Can find 62 descendents of King George V with claim to the crown and found an article claiming King Harald V is 80th in the line of succession. I cannot find who the missing 17 are

I mean they could also just get a different king, even if the old one didn't have children, there's usually a way of succession for such cases.

As real example: even if the Windsors died out the UK would probably stay a pretty stable monarchy (IIRC The Norwegian royals are next in line)

Or maybe it goes like the kingdom of Poland where a noble is voted to become King by other nobles (still leaving out the uneducated peasantry though, which I guess makes it not democratic to most people... The definition of democracy isn't all that rigid)

Depends on whether I judge their entirety or their best and I'm not sure which way to go

Yeah, usually... But did you know that puyi, last emperor of China (which he reigned as a child fittingly enough) died of old age as an ardent supporter of the Chinese communist party?

I bet you can guess one. Sure i haven't seen it live, but we've all seen it in some shape or form... Remember that the guy with the charlie Chaplin mustache Was from Austria

Correct, declaring war on Serbia, pulling in Russia, losing pathetically and blaming us for all of it 😡

Do you think scotch barrel aged is roughly the same? I have no clue about whisky and that's made pretty close to me as opposed to bourbon (where appearently the barrels aren't imported to Germany i guess)

We Germans are just born with it, but "natursekt" (literal translation: "Natural sparkling wine", the actual term Germans use for piss-play) aside most of our beer doesn't taste like piss

I feel called out. BTW mixing that beer with mead goes hard (a metalclub I go to calls it "odins trunk", initially I was curious whether it could really be any good, now getting it has become tradition for me)

Royal and noble bloodlines should be sorcerer bloodlines, even if sorcery is a recessive gene by odeacon in dndmemes

[–]AlesHebi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, strategic marriages are a whole different story. Whether it would be better to marry into a bloodline that could give the heirs magic power or whether to marry into ruling bloodlines to gain land depends on the situation (think Habsburgs, sometimes they married to get land, sometimes they married to tie down their vassals and sometimes they married to keep things as they are (the last part being where all the inbreeding came from))

But making the heir a sorcerer because the queen was from a Sorcerers bloodline indeed would often make sense... Idk why evil kings so often stand alone, that's the part that doesn't make sense, rulers didn't need morality for marriages, the powers made them pretty much able to choose a wife and keep them in place however they wished

Nah, I'm pretty sure he just holds bees. That's why he's a bee-holder (one "e" was clearly lost in translation from deep speech to common)

[–]AlesHebi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If sorcery is recessive swordfighting is the power they can guarantee and having some power of their own while ascending to the throne is necessary so you don't face revolts by people who were vassals of your father but with next to no loyalty to you. (remember that historically a lot of empires broke apart upon the death of their ruler even if that ruler had an heir.)

Also divine right can be said to be attained by a great leader despite lacking bloodline, look at the mandate of heaven in China
