CONTEST: A Kingdom for Keflings

Typically we hand out some video games to winners of our contests, but this time we’re shaking that up a bit, we’re getting a bit more creative. Okay, really, the awesome idea came straight from Ninja Bee and their folks. Answer our question and we’ll choose a winner the winner with the best answer.
The Prize?
A signed concept art print of A kingdom for Keflings from the folks at Ninja Bee! How cool is that!?
All you have to do to participate is answer the question: If you had a Kingdom, what special laws would you pass?
The contest winner with the best/creative answer will be picked on Valentines Day (that’s the 14th of February) by us and we’ll send you the special print.

On the second Tuesday of every 31-day month, all kingdom constituents must wear their underwear, ideally clean, on their head the duration of the day.

I would require all people to take a tollerance test before they were permitted to drink RedBull…there’s nothing worse than playing a game with a screaming 8yr old on a sugar bender.

In my kingdom, there would be nothing but beautiful women in school girl outfits. Why school girl outfits? Because it is my kingdom, that’s why. Also in my kingdom, every day would be bbq day. The women, in their school girl outfits, would take turns coming to my palace and we would grill out with my giant bbq grill. We would have the best kingdom in all the lands.

Any ISPs not offering lag free gaming services would be fined $1,000,000 for each time lag causes a gamer’s death in any multiplayer game.

I would give the mighty Keflings a break!
They work all day, every day and to me…I bet they would like to enjoy the fruits of their labor once in awhile. My new law would be that each Kefling would be ordered to take one day off each week. They would still have 144 hours to slave on my Kingdom development, but by staggering Keflings off days, the work would still get done and the party would burn even brighter!
To weave this new law into the actual game development, I’d have certain Keflings (who were lucky enough to enjoy a rest) work harder when they returned back to work. I may also have them building more luxury type of establishments such as a AKFK Bowling Alley…or about a night club for all those little boy and girl Keflings to get acquainted OUTSIDE of the daily grind of material gatherings and transporting
Whatever this law might solidify into, the primary focus must remain on the simple fact that the best employees you can have, are happy ones!

Everyone in the Kingdom of Creech would be required to play on Live at least once per day.

I would buy every Kefling a elite 360 and lifetime subscription to live .. I would get everyone in the kingdom free internet access (which will be bootlegged from the neighboring kingdom) and after the grueling 4 day work week there will be a huge lan party in the castle every weekend. Lets face it theres no point to working if you cant have a xbox lan party on the weekends =)

I would drop all of my Keflings into the University and then encourage them to hold a series of seminars in the Town Hall to discuss which laws they would like to see me pass that would most benefit their little Kefling lives.
I would then encourage them to democratically elect leaders to represent their interests, and for these leaders to hold plebiscites in order to determine which one of the laws formed during the seminars they would present to me at the Castle.
Once the law was presented to me I would, with great pomp ceremony, tear it up, burn it, and feed the ashes to my herd of Royal pigs. Finally I would drop all the elected leaders into the Guild Hall to get rid their fancy educated ideas and the kick them back to wood carving duties!
Because it’s MY kingdom!!

Some of the laws I would pass would be…
On the weekends, I would enforce an Xbox 360 gaming party for every single kefling in my kingdom. I think my tired keflings deserve some time off on weekends!
I would also make a diner for my keflings, and would give my keflings a 50% off discount. This would make their food prices really inexpensive, so they could save more of their money!
My last law would be that the top 20 keflings in my kingdom would get ‘double the pay’ for all the extra resources that they bring me. (For example, wood, rocks, cyrstals, and wool.) All parties involved would benefit from this law!
These are just a few of my ideas. I hope you like them!

I would make my kingdom only play playstation 3 games on the weekend. During the week how ever I would make them fix all the RROD xbox’s for everyone in the world for free.

1) Mandatory lunch hour gaming sessions.
2) Outlaw powerpoint presentations that use transitions and flying graphics
3) Special lanes and cars with a guide rail for people who text/use their cell phone on the road.
4) Outlaw the expression, “Case of the Mondays”
5) A gong in your office so you can tell people time is up and they must vacate your office

I would give parents lessons in how to read age ratings on games and any parents that allow their under age children play inappropriate games would have them taken into the loving care of the kelfings social system

No fat chicks.

I as your new sire, have enacted a new law!
Only the King may grow a beard, for what is a King if he can’t rock a manly growth of hair all his own? Citizens caught with a beard will be labeled traitors and sentenced to death!
Also I’ve just signed a new shaving razor tax!
It’s easy to see I would be overthrown fairly quickly, if it weren’t for my AWESOME beard that is. Thanks for the contest, good luck everybody.

The king is never worth more than 10 x the lowest peasant. If the king wants to be worth more, he has to up the peasants worth.
