The founders of Koy that I remember were myself, Nhs, Vepviper, Flavin30, Lexxii, A Person555, Akakillme, Sir Olson. There were obviously more but this all I can think of, it's been years.
Well what was the original time like in the Kingdom of Yanille? It depends on who you ask, If you ask former Lux Et Umbra members if there are any left they will give you their side of the story of how we came in and stripped power from them and basically ruled like tyrants, I won't lie we did have a lot of conflict with former Lux Et Umbra leaders. If you ask us the side that came from the KOA then we would say things went smooth to begin with, we had big plans for the Kingdom of Yanille however our Emperor Nhs became very inactive during the beginning stages and Vepviper took his place as Emperor shortly after with Lexxii leading by his side as Empress
For a small period of time things were beginning to settle in quite nicely and everyone was getting adjusted and the ball was beginning to roll. I had become good friends with Flavin30 who was my fellow Royal, however it didn't last long, Vepviper then became inactive and Lexxiii attempted to consolidate power for herself and started promoting other people who supported her (I'm later told that this was in attempt to allow Lux Et Umbra to take control) Fla*in and I found ourselves being somewhat pushed out, so we decided to take action and push her out in the end she resigned and Flavin fell on the sword and was forced out by the members as well. This left me the only remaining royal to step up the the plate and become the King of Yanille, I held onto this position for a couple of months and eventually things smoothed over, and conflict was kept to a minimum I brought in a lot of my friends who were from my Forum company and they helped me manage the place and get the ball rolling.
I eventually came to the decision that the Kingdom of Yanille wasn't my home, I didn't feel the same feeling I had gotten in the Kingdom of Varrock even though I liked being King I felt drawn back to the Kingdom of Varrock. I made the decision to leave the Kingdom of Yanille, it had been in a good state, the people that I had brought over really enjoyed the POC world and the Kingdom of Yanille was now their home, so I left and turned over the reigns to my friend at the time Corporal 99 and he became King . (small world eh? like I said everyone just gets recycled in this world 83)
Well let's see, I had to practically beg to return. At the time Krisimay and I were really good friends and she was a Princess in Kov at the time. So she helped me with at least getting heard by the other Royals in my plea to come back. I had to go to a meeting with all the Royals at the time and give my case as to why I should be allowed to return and then I was asked question and basically just hammered. I told them my reason for leaving was due to the fact I wanted to be promoted to the Royal team. In the end I was allowed to come back under the condition that I wasn't allowed to be promoted for a period of 3 months, zilch, zero, nada not even promoted within a subclan. But I was fine with that, I was back home.
Yeah they were but they also required a high level of standards.
Well for those three months I decided to get involved regardless of not being able to be promoted. I needed to set myself up to look nice when the time was right so I resumed a project that had been dead for a while. During my time as Lord a Royal by the name of Lee King0 (I think) now known as Arch Seraph aka Dan the Man started a Varrock Newspaper however it didn't last that long since shortly after he resigned. I decided to reboot the project and launch the Varrock Times which was based on this newspaper, it was a weekly newspaper that reported on news within the kingdom, world 83, interviews with various members of different ranks, I would also have polls on the forum where people could voice who then wanted to be interviewed next or what they wanted to see. It was a really fun time, It was very time consuming but it kept me busy.
The newspaper was very popular at this time, I remember the most popular issue was the one where I had a interview with Worm Man 1 after his incident where he was accused of treason against Yarrielle and Daz and was demoted to one chevron after serving as Prince for months. He had agreed to do the interview and in the interview he completely trashes and destroys the Royal Team especially Daz who both had a bitter rivalry since Kov beginnings. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to post the interview and him and I were both threatened in a sense, I assume he was threatened with being banned and I was told that repercussions would take place if I posted it, so we conducted a lighter interview and then posted that. Running the newspaper was good times indeed and it is something I think all POCS/clans need
Well, I can't remember the exact details but during this time I lost25 was leading both the Monastery of Varrock and the Council of Varrock, the royals decided for him to stop leading both since it was getting to be a lot of work, so the Council of Varrock subclan was up for grabs. The royals decided to hold a vote on the forums to see who would be elected to be the Council Chairman. At the time the Council was pretty much a useless subclan and this isn't the famous Council that we grow to love in know in later times, the purpose of this council was to basically be the voice of the citizens and come up with new ideas and present them to the Royals.
So I was asked to consider running in the election by Malicous. So I agreed and the voting was held on the forums and I won by like a vote of 25 -2, I can't remember my opponent but after that he rage quitted. I had become the Council Chairman and then assembled my council and for a while we did the duties as I described, I was even allowed the opportunity to sit in on a Royal meeting and offer input which was unheard of during Yarrielle's reign. Things were good, however the subclan itself lacked a lot and didn't quite fit a purpose besides being a voice. So Yugioha who was the King at the time and I brainstormed and decided to reform the Council in the Knights of Varrock which also brought them back from the dead, the Knights would consist of 12 Knights who would perform the duties of the council ,be model citizens of the clan and offer assistants to newer members, as well as act as a role playing group which would hold roleplays every week. It was very fun and Yugioha and I created something that was really good.
