To Pamplemousse: I do not believe I ever claimed to speak for the people. I believe I would be beneficial for the Shades and the Desert, and perhaps the people will benefit from a distinguished homeland. I make no claim that I intend to rule by the people's will.

You believe you would be beneficial? When was any king elected based on how they believe they could do? As mentioned in another topic somewhere, all four initial rulers were already in positions of power, everybody knew what they could do, so they were elected. You want to be king? Prove yourself to the people, because it's THEM who you would have power over. NOT the Shades, or the land itself.

Also, as I mentioned before, when my Sister gave up the crown, I was in no position to make a claim for it. If people are opposed to a youth such as myself making a claim now, do you think they would have prefered a child still clinging to his mother's tit?

I'm sorry if this is too OOC for you, but you've got PMs, YIM and many other methods of communication. If you were even around when Peace was giving the crown to Jester, you could've talked to her, convinced her to wait. If you weren't around, then your right to the crown is null. You need support from PEOPLE if you want to overthrow Jester, seeing as he doesn't seem to want to give you the crown, and if you weren't around, then you don't even KNOW the people, so where does that leave you? Making a poorly planned grab for power.
Also, for Firs, USED then. Happy now?
