[R] Emperor Tits McGee I

You all are tied. Clearly, a new option is needed to unite these factions before open war breaks out over the power of 'ert'.

EDIT: Fiiiiine.

[X] King Robb I
 
Come on! Are you going to be known as your own man or Robert 2.0? Why should we bow to the fancies of Southron twats who don't know their heads from their ass? It's our name. We shouldn't change it for some shallow reason like aesthetics or political expediency. King Robb!

Mhm. Looks like (ignoring the two votes after closing) Robert just wins.

Because we're going to be the King in King's Landing, not the King in Winterfell.

That means those "Southron twats" are now our subjects. And that means we owe them a certain respect. Loyalty is a two way street. This isn't just "political expediency", it's an important gesture to show everyone that we'll take our new position seriously, that we'll be the King of Westeros in truth, not just the "King from the North" who happens to rule the rest of Westeros as well.

If we want to rule the Seven Kingdoms, we need to be a King for all of our subjects. Even if they're Southron twats.

Like Robert I took his position seriously?

I acknowledge your point, but I'd prefer that we be judged by our deeds and not by our name. Changing it, I feel, is a concession that our reign is precarious and we need to curry favor through frivolous technicalities. It's a sign of weakness and if any of our allies waffle over a name, I'd rather they show themselves sooner rather than later. Besides, King's Landing has been burnt to a crisp, I'm not sure if it'll even be the capital after all this is said and done. It's a time of change and I would have liked Robb I to signal the beginning of a new age for Westeros rather than Robert II to restore the status quo. The argument is moot now, but I just wanted to get that out there.

King Robert I Baratheon, rose up against the unworthy rulers at King's Landing, and led a rebelling army. Called the 'Demon of the Trident' for crushing a superior army there and turning the tide of the war, where he also personally crushed Rhaegar Targaryen with his warhammer. Rose up to be the King of all Westeros and established his dynasty on the throne.

King Robert II Stark, rose up against the unworthy rulers at King's Landing, and led a rebelling army.

Rose up to be the King of all Westeros and established his dynasty on the throne.

I have no idea why people don't want to connect ourself to Bobby B and his legacy. We have much more in common than just the name, and whatever else he was, he was a badass.

    • Robert of the House Stark, the Second of his Name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm.

    There was quite a bit that needed to be done. Firstly, of course, was a personal consideration. King's Landing was a ruined heap of ash and corpses. Stannis had planned to make Storm's End into a temporary capital for the years it would take to rebuild the Red Keep, for that was his right as head of House Baratheon.

    That title was arguably now held by Selyse Florent, until your betrothed came of age. You could not be sure she would be thrilled to host the man who had dismissed her daughter's claim and taken her husband's army. You frowned. You had done what was necessary to maintain the wartime coalition and protect the realm. Stannis' grandson would one day rule Westeros.

    You were also the Heir to Winterfell. It was your home, and you ached to see it again. But a part of you recognized that you might not get to call it home anymore. Perhaps Rickon would one day rule father's lands, or a second son of yours could be fostered with his grandfather.

    The ruler of the Seven Kingdoms needed a seat. With that decided, you would be free to move forward with Dorne and the Targaryen pretender.

    [] King's Landing will take time to rebuild, but it has served as the heart of the Seven Kingdoms for three centuries. You will move your court there in time, and until then rule Westeros from somewhere else.
    [] To hold your court at Dragonstone would place you in the Narrow Sea, distant from your subjects and close to the Free Cities.
    [] When you wed Shireen, Storm's End will be yours just as her father's crown has become. It was built by Brandon the Builder, legends say.
    [] Your kinswoman already rejected Rickon as her heir, but your claim to Harrenhal is strong and you could take it after her death.
    [] Winterfell is your home and you are a Stark. It will be odd sharing the castle with father, but there is no reason you cannot rule from the North.

    Hey, we could totally design a sewer system that won't make the city smell of shit from miles away.

    The fact that we have to rebuild is a plus in my eyes. We can remake it in our own image and create new symbols to rally Westeros around. A working sewer system should also be high on the agenda.
