Trial of the Emperor

Kos

I was thinking of making the emperor title more available to people who don't have that much time, but may be very good at PvP (I'm not one of them ).
What if, after the emperor was deposed, there was a tournament in which pretenders to the throne of the emperor would fight? Or maybe a trial in which the best guild or group could win the right to appoint the emperor? What do you think?

Good Grief. Bad Idea. The title is already traded amongst the factions like baseball cards.

After an Emperor is deposed, ostensibly, there is more fighting that goes on. This opens it up to being even more of a "popularity" contest or a "It's my turn to be emperor" hour. If there is no emperor or you want to dethrone an existing one get out there, fight and earn AP.

Making Emperor easier to obtain is NOT what the community is clamoring for. It appears to overwhelmingly favor making it more difficult.

What happens exactly when you become Emperor? A sentence shows up to the people from you campaign, and BOOM you're the new Emperor? I think they should add some kind of ceremony for that, and they should make it even harder for anyone to become the Emperor by adding the tournament for top 5 or 10 Emperor candidates, the last man standing wins the Emperor title and is crowned properly (not just few floating letters on the screen). The place for the tournament could be the arena in Imperial City and the place for crowning should be the Ruby Throne. I think this would make the title more unique and more meaningful, but then again, it's just my opinion.

The point I was trying to make was not to make it easier to obtain. I was just thinking of a tournament like a world cup where you have a ladder and there is the final at the end. This tournament would happen when normally the person would just gain the emperorship. It would introduce elements of arena to Cyrodill. I don't know maybe it's a stupid idea, but I don't think it would make it easier to trade or obtain it would just make it possible to get by more people than just one who has the most AP, all of the pretenders would have equal chance of winning the tournament.

I think it would be better if the Emperor can get the title of Emperor but only get the skill line after the whole campaign ends and still be top of the leaderboard

Yes that is close to what I wanted to say about having tournament

No, no one that actually pvps wants anyone to earn things via some stupid tournament/dueling system.

You earn it by working your butt off to benefit your campaign. Well, that or flipping emp but hopefully that has come to an end.

It should really already be harder to be emp than it is.

you seem to make very quick judgements, how do you know "no one" would like it, and how do you know tournament would be stupid? Do you have a crystal ball in your stomach?

Well you have to 'work you butt off' to get into let's say top 5 candidates, AND you have to prove worthy in combat, I seriosuly see nothing bad with it...

thats shows the plans for the imperial city, as for the duels i dissagree as this would subtract from the war effort, we should not be dueling to crown an emperor. the system we have works(wouldnt mind a corination quest where the allaince ruller crowns you) but the dueling is a bad idea(with the exception of the emp flipping
