    Default You now sit on the Iron Throne

    Who in EoFF do you pick to be your Hand? Who else do you surround yourself with in the various governing positions? Who do you keep an eye on as possible traitors and usurpers?

    Vivi would be my Hand and Jiro would be my Kingsguard. I would surround myself with friends because what are friends for? I expect Jinx would attack my penis with leeches the moment I am no longer useful for her grand schemes of world conquest. She of course will be disposed of

    Here is a list of the small council, in case anyone wanted to get technical:

    • Hand of the King
    • Lord Commander of the Kingsguard
    • Master of Coin - Head of the Treasury and finances of the kingdom.
    • Master of Laws - Oversees the Laws & Justice system for the Kingdom.
    • Master of Whisperers - The spymaster, and the head of intelligence.
    • Master of Ships - Oversees the navy.
    • Grand Maester - head adviser on matters of lore and wisdom.

    Starting on my left with one, your number comes up, you go.

    Hand of the King would be a tricky call. I'd want someone efficient, of course, but also loyal, and those two are at desperate odds on these boards. Everyone who would be efficient at keeping order is totally untrustworthy, especially people like Psychotic and Del Murder. They'd kill me for the Throne before my arse had warmed it up. On the other hand people who could be trusted are far too nice to be the Hand, like Pike or Rantz.

    Actually, there is one person who I think would have the ruthlessness needed combined with loyalty: I'd appoint fire_of_avalon to be my Hand.

    The rest of the Small Council would be as follows:

    Lord Commander of the Kingsguard - Rantz
    Master of Coin - Psychotic
    Master of Laws - Del Murder
    Master of Whisperers - Rye, if she was still around, otherwise Shorty.
    Master of Ships - Pike
    Grand Maester - DK

    Rest of the Kingsguard:
    shion
    Shlup
    Jiro
    Bunny
    Cuchulainn
    The White Wizard of Fynn

    Well, now I have to think on it more. But I already know Lonely Paper Star is an obvious candidate for Grand Master.

    No one is suited to be Master of Whispers more than Psychotic.

    Psychotic is already the Hand. The forums staff are already the Kingsguard and the Editors are already the Whisperers, the Devs already the Masters of Ships and the Tech Admins are the Grand Maesters. The Masters of Coin are Amazon and Google.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Nom nom nom

    I've kept trying to think of who I would have for my council every since making this thread, but it's hard considering I don't know too many people that well here. Here are my current thoughts, though.

    Hand of the King: Shorty
    Lord Commander of the Kingsguard - Rantz
    Master of Coin - Del Murder
    Master of Laws - Raistlin
    Master of Whisperers - Psychotic
    Master of Ships - Pike
    Grand Maester - Lonely Paper Star (I think I'd also be asking her to help write the lore of my kingship just because I like her writing.)
