The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

just forget i said anything.. kopa sighed ' i will be relying on you and kovu a lot,  a good king always looks for advice..father trained you to be a ruler, I will have to catchup to you in that regrd, and i will not be able to make up for all those years in a few months.. so what will likely happen is this. We will rule as tadem, you, Kovu, me and whoever becomes my mate..

"Wow...." Kiara said, intrigued by this suggestion. "Do you think father will hear you out on that idea?"

"Sounds interesting," Kovu nodded.

Well i doubt it's ever been done before, but my reasoning in this. You were raised to rule youe entire life, believing you were the next in line. your mate, was also  raised to rule..Now I come in after all these years and blow all that up. its not fair to you to deprive you of your title as queen..just because some lion which you had never known existed comes out of nowhere and reveals himself to be your brother..no, you must rule with me Kiara. I'm not sure if Dad will go with it..but i think it could work.

"If he says no, we could force him to say yes," Kiara suggested, clearly joking.

" Very funny Kiara' kopa laughed. ' Dad is still the king for now,what he says goes.. We could ask Rafiki and have him look up the history of the pridelabds.. to see if this has ever happened before, and if he thinks its a good idea..

"Good thinking," Kiara nodded to her brother.

"Rafiki, are you around?" Kovu called

Coming, your highness' Came the reply as the shaman soon appeared ' What can I do for you /' he smiled to them.. " are you sure it is not something the king can do for you?' he asked as Simba came up to them 'Actually, it involves a rather.. novel idea, and we wanted to see if ir had ever happened in the pridelands before..
_ What sort of idea? Simba said.. giving the three lions a glance..

Kovu, Kiara, and Kopa all explained the situation to Rafiki and Simba.

"double kings and queens basically," Kiara concluded, "Kopa feels it isn't right to just swipe the title away from Kovu and I."

a shared kingdom? Rafiki said and his face narrowed in thought.. 'Has the Pridelands ever have had two rulers? Kopa asked.. 'Sharing power equally.. not for a long time.. ' rafiki said
_ Simba frowned.." while that is a very generous thought of you Kopa, i don;t recall, in our family history there ever being such an arrangement..'
_ It would be my choice father" Kopa reminded him. "I need time to catch up on being a good ruler..
_
  Let me go and look atr my history rafiki said ' It is indeed , my prince a novel arrangement.. i think because you have a sister, that it might work, as long as you have a good relationship between the two of you. two brothers sharing power wouldn't work, one or the other would eventually take the throne.. by force..it is simply how male lions of royal blood are..

"Yeah, we'd rather not be reminded of that," Kiara replied, thinking about her grandfather and great uncle. "Please daddy? It'll work out for all of us..." she said, giving that cute, "You can't say no to this face" grin.

"I'm all for it," Kovu agreed.

I'm just not sure about this, my prince" Nuteri said sitting on a rock ' I have been around a long time and i have never heard of a king sharing power with anyone.. even a sibling. Too much  risk of "throne-lust' getting in the way. I daresay we've had enough scheming for the throne in the last two generations to last the next 20.
-
color me skeptical as well ' Nala said coming up to them "You had good intentions, Kopa. But this has never been done, well, recently, because a kingdom needs just one king or queen to rule. Unless.. you marry Vitani..then we would have all four be of royal blood, and..
Er mom " Kopa said blushing.. " Kiara is going to help me look for a mate.
_ If you are going to rule the Prideland, in this sharing-power arrangement Kopa, you are going to need a mate that, like Kovu has royal blood and be someone your father and I can trust completely. there aren't that many lionesses with royal blood.. ' Nala said..

"So get used to me pretty boy," Vitani teased, suddenly appearing beside Kopa and putting a paw around his shoulder.

"You'll make a perfect couple," Kiara giggled lightly.

"I can see it too," Kovu agreed.

Vitani we just met" Kopa said trying to demurr.' That would actually be a good pairing Nuteri said. "Two Pridelanders of royal blood and two outsiders..puts the while disagreeable mess behind for good..and you'll need to find a mate any way.. so take vitani out on a date and get moving;' Nuteri said suddenly whacking Kopa in the shin with a stick. "OW!" Kopa swore " why did you do that? he glared at his mentor' MOtivation my dear boy.. now go.. take vitani around the kingdom or something, while Rafiki here tries to find out if any of your ancestors tried this novel ' share power equally" idea of yours. if ir worked it was because the two siblings were brother and sister,but it was probably only for that generation. it will probably be the same here. You are on good terms with your sister, but whoever has cubs first, will be the next in line.

"Besides, if you don't, Rafiki will make you, trust me," Kovu grinned to Kopa. He could see a trace of himself and Kiara in the young lion.

"I can show you around," Vitani assured. "I've been here long enough, and you are kinda cute."

"Oh....I see you're going out with my little sister," Nuka said, raising an eyebrow. "Don't try any funny moves...."
