King Joffrey I Democracy As a noble, would you prefer King Joffrey I or Democracy? - Results (33 votes) King Joffrey I 39.39% (13 votes) 13 Democracy 60.61% (20 votes) 20 You are a noble with significant wealth and land, with many serfs. Would you prefer to be ruled by King Joffrey, or would you prefer for a democracy to be set up which would, at a minimum, abolish your noble title and could potentially confiscate your lands and wealth if the elected government felt like it? The form the democracy could take is not yet known. It could be something like the US or UK where the ability of the common people to act swiftly is limited or it could be like revolutionary France where they have no checks and balances and people get guillotined with hardly any judicial process. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red_sox_777 posted [p:969280959] in As a noble...
