So when the players elect an emporer what then? Can you control npc characters or other players? Build recourse faucets or declare battle on another alliance? Can you tax citizens? What power do you think the emporer should have?

If I'm not mistaken, the strongest player of each faction will automatically be crowned as emporer while the faction is in control of Cyrodiil.

Does the Emperor have to be the strongest? What about the most popular? Or the wealthiest? Or is there going to be some weird formula that takes all that in to account?

Last statement it was that the Emperor is the player withteh most Alliance points gained for that time period or the top of the PvP leaderboards.

Strongest as of right now

Okay, that seems fair. Will there be mutliple ways to earn alliance points (in PvP settings of course) or will it come down to number of player kills, or number of victories, or number of successful campaigns? How are alliance points earned is what I'm getting at?

Fair enough
