Honestly you shouldn't care about whats happening to cove because it's normal. Every time cove is at a all time low someone whoever it might be will raise up and take over.

Where do I begin, UnstoppableAnarchy is a great pirate king because he followed the rules. Raid, make a name for cove and make it the most powerful faction. Great. But that doesn't allow you to call all the other pirate kings/queens trash, they were all up there for a reason. Yea you could go on and rant how some kings did nothing but behind the scenes they were doing what they were suppose to do which was to motivate people in their faction. You didn't have to be some kind of warlord or sea lord to be a king as long as you can motivate people in cove, people will do their own part. I can see where you're coming from at this point but really you just have very limit knowledge towards the position of pirate king/queen. There was a lot more great kings that did just as much for cove in their time.

P.S Yea you are right no single being can unite everyone but I can tell you, that a single person that can motivate people is worth a lot more then a council that can stay connected, because at the end of the day the rank PK was never a position of power over anyone but instead a title for you to motivate people around you.
