Should an Emperor rise only after holding ring Keeps for X minutes straight?

So, as it currently stands an Alliance pushing for Emperor need only flip the final ring Keep and
immediately thereafter we have a new Emperor.

What if flipping the final Keep initiates instead an "Emperorship countdown", say 5 minutes?
if any of the ring Keeps flips to "under attack" status during this countdown,
the timer stops and resets.

And so an Alliance gets their Emperor only if they can dominate the ring Keeps straight through
the "Emperorship countdown".

Will this make crowing an Emperor exciting/nerve wracking or just plain tedious?
What if I go north? Disappear.
Would you come after me?

    It is fine as it is. Besides, OP has not provided a reason to even consider it other than it is probably something they like. Without a valid benefit to consider outside of I think this would be really cool it should not be given a second thought.

    Of course the reply after this one give great reasoning as to why the suggestion should not be considered.

    Trying to keep 6 castles from being flagged would never happen when a sever has any kind of population on. What you suggest, would mean only night (very low pop) capping would get am emp.

    True. :)
    Hence the poll to finally settle the question: "Is it just me up for such a feature?"
    And of course, the poll has settled that question.

    I see what you are trying to accomplish here but I actually stand for the opposite. I believe that when an emperor is crowned, he should have it for at least 24 hours even if he loses all the inner keeps.

    Some clarification. If DC win all six Keeps, the 5 minute countdown is triggered.
    Note, any Keep that momentarily flips to under attack status stops and resets the countdown.
    Once DC get that flagged Keep back, and so have all six again, the countdown is triggered again.
    If they cleanly hold on to them till the countdown ends, their highest ranked player is crowned.

    This new Emperor won't be deposed till another Alliance wins over all ring Keeps and cleanly
    fends off all challenge to them for the duration of the countdown.

    However, endless detailing of the idea at this point isn't of much use.
    The poll has spoken. The idea is DOA. Fiddling with the corpse at this point is just Necromancy.
