My suggestion Every month a random player will be chosen, this player has exhibited great community service, has been helpful, and other good traits. They are then crowned "Emperor/Empress of the Month" Awards 5,000 Rupees Diamond Block of Royalty Gold Voucher
I like the idea, but I don't like the fact that this will give people a mindset of helping others and doing good deeds just to win the prize.... No matter what people should help others, and be friendly to everyone on the empire from the oldest players to the newest. It's something that I have always done on the empire, and encourage others to do for kindness not for a prize of some sort.
I feel like if this was implemented it would just turn into a popularity contest, and not an actual award for kind players. Also what SkyDragonv8 said.
I do think it would be popularity instead of good deeds. Also, There is the good Samaritan award. Is that still around?
Although the idea of an Empress/Emperor is intriguing, I don't think this is the correct way to implement it.
Yep. In fact, this round is started. http://empireminecraft.com/threads/good-samaritan-award-2015.49010/
Think of all the famous emperors/empresses you know of, though... Emperor Palpatine - Seriously evil dude, he tortured his only friend slave's son and built the machine that did this: Emperor Wu Zetian - started out as a concubine, spent years in a "struggle to gain and maintain supreme power" - Wikipedia Emperor Penguin - You know what? I changed my mind. Emperors are pretty great.
This sounds too much like a prom queen and king thing. We can have emperors and empresses, but they should be based on something else that isnt already under an award category. Like uh... Being ruthlessly evil in claiming 10 res's that are all vigorously decorated to look like torture cells! Jk. I like the idea of an emperor and empress, but why not just wait until Empires are implemented? Then you can dub two founders Emperor and Empress =P
