Talk:A Golden Crown
Appearance
- According to the Atlantic's Scott Meslow, "Ned's principles are, as always, admirable, and he's clearly interested in justice. But the sad truth is that the lack of guile that makes him honorable also makes him a pretty poor king. It's a terrible idea to order the arrest of the man who is single-handedly financing your kingdom." [12]
- If you can pull it off, it is of course an excellent idea -- all his holdings will be attainted and fall to the crown, including, conveniently, the IOUs signed by the crown. The real terribleness is the "if you can pull it off" -- in a union-of-kingdoms feudal situation with each great noble holding their own army (and no standing army) you pretty much can't.
