Well its a long complex story actually. Thing is when all the king's councillors were scheming on whether to get rid of Prince Udayabhadra or not, two councillors (DKVM and Moai Spammer) supported the existing king, and two supported rebellion ( CaterpillarKing and TheNoob) . The result was a big rebellion in which the rebels (CaterpillarKing and TheNoob) lost and DKVM's character became the next monarch and ruled for around 20 years more.
That rebellion really shot off my story into popularity ^_^ . Now there were five councillors, so if you had voted on one side or the other, the rebellion may not even have happened in the way it did. Your absence was explained as the death of your character ( which was a dramatic event itself ) and influenced DKVM's character development.
