That would have lead to a second coup right after Gatesville's coup ended -- assuming it had ended, and the Pharaoh hadn't joined it -- but whatever you say.Lord Ravenclaw wrote:Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:43 pmMy support rests with you Jakker. You should have got the job nearly three years ago.
I don't think people realize how much worse off Osiris turned out in regards to couping because I did not become pharaohCormac wrote:Sat Apr 02, 2016 12:51 amThat would have lead to a second coup right after Gatesville's coup ended -- assuming it had ended, and the Pharaoh hadn't joined it -- but whatever you say.Lord Ravenclaw wrote:Fri Apr 01, 2016 7:43 pmMy support rests with you Jakker.

Anyway, none of that is relevant to Jakker's candidacy today and he does indeed have a strong platform, so I'm sure he'll do well in this election.
I don't at all agree with this assessment, and I had a longer response here that I've since reconsidered and edited out, in the interests of not derailing Jakker's campaign. I would be happy to discuss it elsewhere if you want.Lord Ravenclaw wrote:Sat Apr 02, 2016 8:26 pmA Jakker coup, had it happened then would not have lasted long, nor would it have been that destructive - we had the treaty with TNP then, and Asta. Plus at the time COE was Speaker of TNP's RA and/or a member of their cabinet - COE also being the same person who sits on the Council of Hawks - we wouldn't have had to alter our Foreign Policy to pro-imperialist two years as a result of needing help getting out of that situation.
That said, I still stand firm in the belief that a coup wouldn't have happened - it would have been completely counter productive to TBH's relationship with TNP and Europeia - the former being allied to both Osiris and Europeia at that time. Plus the PSSP was still in force, which would have meant Balder would also have been against it, which would have further spread to Europeia through their shared memberbase, and to Albion from there - which we already had positive relations with at that time through my own foreign affairs networking.
There's a lot of what ifs' and hypothetical variables I could list and think of. That said, I think a TBH coup would have been less destructive than the knock on full on schism that the GV coup awakened.
