Alas as much as I like to vote for another.
There is only one vote that will keep me in the game.
Duke of Buckingham
I have a bad felling about this.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Still, he did vote for Spaced in the last round too, so you might have seen it coming, but he's also used up the last person on his vote list so we'll see what happens now....

Act III Scene ii
Enter KING RAH, the LORD CHAMBERLAIN and the CAPTAIN of the GUARD
rah: My loyal friends and subjects. We have been
resident at this court for many years,
and have been through much together. In these
dark days of covert murder then I have
need of my friends more than ever before!
Although I have ordered that each man is
free to cast his vote as he pleaseth, I
hope that I can rely on my trusted
friends to support me when the strangers to
my court turn their eyes toward my throne and
the power it embodieth. My old friends,
can I count on thy votes?
Rubychaser: Of course, my lord!
Thou knowest that I have been stalwart at thy
side all these years of service and my vote
shall be as true in thy service as my
swordarm once was.
rah: True, my noble Captain,
thou hath been one of the foremost pillars
of English strength these years gone, and today
I value thy counsel in affairs of
state equally as in the strategic
realm, and it heartens me to learn that I
can also count on thy vote in council.
Rubychaser: Aye, my lord.
rah: And thou, Lord Chamberlain? Will
thou stand by thy master who hath o’erseen
thy political career, or wouldst thou
rather join the party of those who would
see this monarchy brought to its knees, and
replaced by some pell-mell muddle of
procrastinators and mad idealists
with no idea how to achieve the ideal?
Spike: My liege, I have no desire whatsoever
to make my stand with those whose hands are red,
but I have yet to reach a decision
on the matter, or to be satisfied
of anyone’s guilt. By your leave, my
lord, I will reserve my counsel until
I have had the chance to hear the cases
put forward by the accusers today,
and shall make my decision thereupon.
rah: Those might well be wise words in different
company from thy present my lord. I
know thee of old, and thou art glad to give
small and frequent comment, yet will refrain
from taking a decision while there is
yet time and opportunity to make
more comments in thy terse style.
Spike: I remind
my lord that he hath given his solemn
word not to interfere in the choices
made by the members of his court, and to
respect the decisions made by them in
good heart. I am no longer of such stout
stuff as to be able to murder those
at this court who have met their end by a
mighty mace, and I trust that mine own heart
proveth its innocence and that those called
to vote will recognise it! My Lord, the
council begins, and the courtiers do
arrive to present their cases for our
consideration. Let us hear their words.
Enter the rest of the court
James: King rah, I trust that this morning finds ye
in rude health, and ready to take up the
reins of power once more when there is peace in
yer palace again. Shall we ter voting
then, and try to remove the perfidious
influence on this court and this country?
Rubychaser: Well said my comrade in arms! I take the
floor to declare the Duke of Buckingham
the dread party behind these evils that
hath plagued our court! He has never been far
from mine suspicion, and can count himself
lucky to have escaped censure thus far,
for the Lord Chamberlain believes that these
murdered hath been attacked by a mace, and
the mace was not far from incorporation
in the crest of Buckinghamshire after
his mighty deeds in the wars with the men
of the Scottish burghs.
Paddy: What a pincer we caught those soft Southern
cissies in me lads! Aye, ‘twere a braw day,
and a better night, the better to toast
our mighty victory! Ha! I can well
picture the might of Buckingham as he
rode amid the throng, smashing skulls to left
and right, till there were naught remaining that
would have served fit for our Viking forebears
to toast their triumphs! His feats that day call
me too, to bear witness that he is the
killer in our court.
Skanky: Nay, good Scotsman, thou
hast the wrong man! The one man here who might
have us all destroyed at a word has made
a strange choice to tease us with our fates, and
to kill us off one by one.
Paddy: Rochester!
Have ye the brash impudence to accuse
yer king of these assassinations, and
with naught but flimsy suspicion to back
yer ignoble words?
Skanky: I do, O Thane, yet
these suspicions are not unfounded. I
believe that he has tired of our counsel,
and would seek to replace us in the most
foul manner possible!
Spaced: Circumstances,
my dear king, hath forcèd me to cast my
vote for thee, if for naught else but to save
mine own skin!
rah: Alas, my good Duke, but I
must now cause thee to regret thy choice, as
I find thee the most likely candidate
for the murderer of my courtiers, my
friends, and my sons!
Spike: I hath earlier said
that I would allow my judgement, and not
my loyalties to decide this case, as
I refused to be bullied by the king.
rah: Bullying, tush! I asked thee to think on
all that thou hast achieved under my
aegis, and to allow this to guide thy
thoughts when making thy decision today.
Pray tell, then, Lord Chamberlain. To whom wilt
thy vote be cast?
Spike: For thee o king. Well I
know that I owe my career to thee, but
I am also well aware of thy nature
most capricious, and that thy vote may well
next fall upon me for the time when I
might enjoy thy favouritism is now
at an end, and so I must preserve my-
self before all loyalties hitherto
held.
rah: Thou treacherous wretch! I now regret
again the rashness that led me to give
a free vote to you all, and encourage
the guards to leave the castle!
James: King rah, it
is too early for regret while I still
hold the deciding vote in this process,
and do choose to consign my avowèd
foe the Duke of Buckingham to the block
of the capable executioner,
thy Captain of the Guard!
rah: Well chosen, my
trusty ally! If we should survive this
uncertain time, then I shall see thee most
richly rewarded for thy allegiance!
Captain, wouldst thou take the wretch Buckingham
from our sight, and see that he hath an end
befitting these bloody final days of
his life?
Rubychaser: Aye, my lord, posthaste.
Exit the CAPTAIN of the GUARD and the DUKE of BUCKINGHAM
rah: A happy day
for your king, gentlemen. Pray thee, go and
enjoy the varied hospitalities
of my court in the hope that we can soon
prepare ourselves to discuss the weighty
matter of Welsh rebellion now that
the murderer Buckingham hath passed
before our court here.
Paddy: Aye king, certainly!
Exit all but KING RAH
rah: While alone, I must confess that I now
lack the certainty I held but a few
moments ago, for while the death of the
noble Buckingham hath preserved mine
own existence, then I do not feel he
was responsible for these deaths of late,
and that my good Captain will shortly return
with more ill tidings for me, and for my
supporters at this court, few though they now
number. For now, however, I must take
account of mine own situation, ill
thou it seemeth still.
Enter the CAPTAIN of the GUARD
Rubychaser: My lord, I have…
rah: I
know, bad news again. But who hath fallen
to the deadly blade of the assassin
this fateful day?
Rubychaser: ‘Twere the unfortunate
Earl of Rochester my lord, and he too
hath received sev’ral blows to the skull, too
many for even one of a constitution
such as his to survive.
rah: Aught else?
Rubychaser: My lord,
again I hath heard the mysterious
horseman without, yet I know not why he
might await my arrival, or even have
knowledge thereof, outside the castle walls.
rah: Alas poor Rochester, until this day
he hath been at my side many a time,
but we must now look forward to the day
upon which the fallen at this court can
be remembered with due ceremony.
Inform those living yet of what hath tane
place here today, and prepare them for the
council of tomorrow.
Rubychaser: Yes my lord.
Exeunt

Since The good lord will probably vote for me, I guess it makes no difference if I vote first.

Help me save the kingdom, or whatever small sliver is left.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

The odds have shown that the second person to vote is usually the mafia.
And no one has pointed out any clues or motives for the King to devistate his OWN kingdom.
but i would have voted for spike anyway hahahahIt's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

HELP! HELP! I'm being repressed!
Ah, now we see the violence inherent in the system.
Oh, what a give away. Did you hear that, did you hear
that, eh? That's what I'm on about -- did you see him repressing me, you saw it didn't you?I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).
