I think it'd depend on how old Mandred is, exactly. If he's 12, well, he's legally an adult and being his advisor for a few years isn't the worst thing. If he's 5, we might have to think about it, yeah.
Although actually, it depends on what a "child Emperor" would actually entail. He'd probably just have a Regent?
You misspelled too many!
I want to pick like half the options at least!

It's possible to run the tally and get the total number of votes by not filtering out repeated names and selecting the whole thread, but I'm fairly sure the size of the thread would break the tally. I actually think that's happened before and Boney had to talk to SV's tech support to get it working again, so I don't recommend doing it.
I am thinking about the personal ethics required to be good friends with dragons and dwarves. I am sure there is something to it, but can't figure it out enough to formulate it.
Now that I think of it, it would be very fun if we could teach the kid our personal ethics, if we figure it out what they are.

Yeah, it's definitely a soluble problem, which is why I framed it as "a concern" and not "a dealbreaker." But it's still something I think is reasonable to want no part of; it might be the black-swan outcome of that job, but our QM is from Australia, after all.

A "legal adult" in the eyes of employers and peasant-oriented laws and traditions is not necessarily the same as old enough to control your own noble fiefdoms.
Even in modern day democracies there's a difference between the age where you get the right to vote and being old enough to be eligible for certain elected positions.
Definitely not. My quest has 17K+ pages.
For anyone interested in Becoming Matriarch of the Grey order or Supreme Patriarch one day.
Markgraf of Eastern Stirland
Bodyguard and Tutor to Prince Mandred
would be amazing on the CV.
The Waystone Project
would also be pretty good.
Loremaster at large
will be very bad after a long time: 'is she still actually loyal?'

You do know those positions aren't actually by appointment?
(Also I doubt they'll be saying that about the one that keeps smacking around greenskins and skaven and reinforcing their diplomacy with the dwarves.)

SV's rules very much disagree. This is the third time since the last update you've taken an argument to extremes to try to push your preference.
Treating salt as inevitable gives a pass to the people that choose to engage in it. Please don't.
Ask me again if one option wins by like 1 or 2 more than the other.
I don't know whether to count this as the fourth time in thirty hours or an old one I already told you to cut out. You've got a habit of staking out a desired outcome and then backing any arguments that help it to the hilt, no matter how flimsy they are, no matter how unpleasant the thread becomes as a direct result. And twice since the update you've been cornered while doing it and outright admitted that you know the argument you were using was weak, but you've got a desired outcome and you're going to try to make it happen with whatever arguments you can, so I can't even give you the benefit of the doubt here. You know what you're doing, and considering you've got a long-running quest, you should have a pretty good idea of why I wouldn't want it happening here. Please reassess how you approach debates in this thread, or I'm going to have to start giving you vacations from it.

Honestly, I don't think it is bad news. Regencies have happened before, and the only way this regency would happen would be if we just won a majority of Elector votes, which is a legitimization that most child kings didn't get. Given that this would be around when he is 10 or so (I don't imagine us able to swing the vote before that, so that would be a moot point), I don't forsee this being nearly as big of a problem as if it happened in a heriditary empire.
As for doing anything during the election, we can't without violating the articles, as we would no longer be serving the emperor, as their isn't one. All of our work would need to be done before that.
Admittedly, we don't need it for Supreme Patriarch. That all depends on being the killiest, we already have the prereqs. Actually, @BoneyM, when the next term ends, are we going to have an option to decide if we want to go for it?

And SP can be hard if your not respected or people think your more loyal to the dwarfs then the empire, even if you can win it.
