Ah, the Benevolent Dictarship form of government.

As a common citizen, I feel a great sense of false security and truly believe that the wise and munificent Cavebear will heed my meager voice, understanding all the while that, should it appear not to be so, that this only represents my own inadequate understanding of the complexities of governance being brought into focus.

Long live Cavebear the Magnificent!

Exxxxxcelent.
Now things will start getting better. That warlord stuff was starting to worry me. This 'Monarchy' concept sounds much better.

Yes, We were happy being a Despot, but this new Monarchy idea is great. We are happy having a Divine Right to the job and also We love to speak of Ourself in the 3rd person, since no one else gets to do that.

Technically, thou art speaking of thyself in the plural oh mighty but syntacticaly challenged one.

(And BTW, my friend Cassandra tells me that claiming a divine right has been known to leave you shorter by a head.)

Since a pronoun refers to the previous noun, you are advocating decapitation of the king. Whilst this is a policy I approve of (pour encourager les autres) I prefer to wait until they have committed an offence.

Quite correct. I meant to refer to "the Royal singular"(1st person plural), but came up with the wrong term. It is wonderful to have such knowledgeable subjects.

Sometimes called the "royal wee" by people less respectful of monarchy than your humble servant,
