He's the only one who seemed to enjoy being a King, Gil gets some kind of redemption because he seems bothered by the fact that Iskandar enjoys being a king so much that he starts doing stuff other than abusing the inferior humans.

It depends. What are her policies? Are you asking about a Saber as a king of modern or a medieval coutnry?

She loves her kingdom, yeah, whatever. Many of the greatest criminals at the top of a country probably loved their country, loved their people ("I-Ich liebe doch alle Menschen!" - "B-but I love all humans!" - moe Erich Honecker, leader of the East-German StaSi), but motivation alone won't earn my respect, because I care for competence and outcomes, too, and she doesn't exactly have a good track record there, seeing as her country fell apart.
She's also probably only capable of war, but managing a country? She has no idea of philosophy and natural philosophy, neither has she an idea of how to get and control competent staff that can fill in her lack of such knowledge. All she did was depend on the deus ex machina Merlin and his tools. I'd also bet that she's not even a good head of a state: Could you imagine her filling in diplomatic roles? No, she's too stubborn, too easily embarrassed, too near-sighted to form consensūs. She's bad at grasping the whole.

I lean towards disrespecting Saber as a King.

Thing is, none of her decisions were exactly "shitty". She regretted the outcome, but at the end of Fate she understood that if it was the result of her right decisions, then she shouldn't redo them in hope of something better. Is it correct? Well, it's arguable, but it was certainly right for her and Shirou.
>>
>>136199337
>Who's more foolish, the fool or those who follow him?
To be fair, I think people who made her king in the first place and accepted her as such afterward should be blamed more. Putting a delusional young girl who had no clue about things like politic, diplomatic, management on the throne and making her a de facto head of the state instead of a useless puppet were the worst things they could do.

She wasn't, you should read FSN.

She was an oustanding king, she only thought she was failure since she couldn't be 100% perfect and was only 99%.

Her downfall was literally caused by the fact that others of her time period simply weren't ready for utopia yet. They were easily jealous and greedy and quickly joined with La Fey at the prospect of taking all her wealth and lands and believing that the most righteous king of their era would turn on them and take their lands even though she'd spent years defending them.

She wasn't to be blamed for being ahead of the times.

Yep.

Again, it's canon she was fantastic. Everything you have about her being a failure COMES FROM HER because of her persecution complex. Merlin tells you the story and how she didn't fail at all.

To some I am the pariah, to other I am the Messiah.

It was I who dared to doubt, it was I you dared to question, it was I who dared to speak.

My sins are many, worn with scorn and pride.

I was condemned, branded, tainted, marked, tried and executed.

Yet still, even at the breaking of my body and soul, I refused to kneel under the weight of my sins.

It was I who defied, to defied to the end of time, and beyond.

It was I who gave the fire and the fruit, It was I who shared the light of knowledge to a world kept in the dark. It was I, who set them free.

It was I who had stood up the wraths of heaven.

It was I who fought to the limits of my strength; it was I who punched the face of god.

It was I that stood up to the powers that be.

It was I that humbled the heavens and mocked the mighty dogma.

It was I who sacrificed all and more, and will do and have done again.

It was I who defied, it was I who refused.

It was I whom was humbly named; “teacher”

Now I am the one who the student calls “Satan”

It was I, who made everything possible.

That is not true. Britain regressed to a Dark Age after the Roman slowly pulled out following the disintegration of the Empire. Saber was only holding it together, but she certainly didn't bring a Golden Age given that the wealth from the imperial trade network was no longer there. But it also wasn't really her fault that everything fell apart since the major source of wealth had left.

This is made-up bullshit.

Fact of the matter is that nobody, not even the people responsible for the uprising, could find any flaw in her governing. That's precisely why the place lasted as long as it did even though the assembled lord only reluctantly agreed to obey a king in the first place: they all waited for her to mess up, but it never once happened. The opening had to be created by her own knights failing her over MUH FEELS bullshit, because nobody could find the slightest thing to complain about regarding her role as an administrator.

Merlin says as much, Gawain says as much, even Mordred and Agravain say as much, and the last one was a spy of Morgan who was there to undermine her. Even her enemies were repulsed by the noble lords' pettiness and ungratefulness, and Agravain seemed ready to spit on Guinevere for betraying Arturia.
>>
>>136206300
>The bitch failed to held everything together due to her stupidity
>Saberfags think she should be respected as a good king
>>
>>136197334

Yes. Saber was totally selfless in what she did. For Gilgamesh rulership was simply his divine right and his subjects were property. For Iskander his rulership was something he took for himself and his subjects were soldiers who followed him out of the chance to share in his glory.

But for Arturia, rulership was a tremendous burden, thrust upon her by the sword. A burden she agreed to carry because she was told that no one else could do it.

She had such high standards that even she did not meet them in the end, and entered the grail war twice out of the hope that she could use magic to fill her place in history with someone even better than herself, destroying her own legend and glory and life for the betterment of her land and people.

There is no one that I would trust more with kingship, because she ruled not for herself but for her people. Her nation fell, but the ideals that she raised went on to enlighten and shape future generations, literally defining what modern day humans believe chivalry and nobility was supposed to be about.

She isn't the king I would go drinking with, but she is the king that I would serve until my dying breath. Because she is the King that ruled to make their world better instead of just enrich their own lives.
>>
King Arthur was an excellent king and rightfully idealized by England and France for many centuries.

However, the Nasuverse interpretation of Arturia (especially Urobuchi's in particular) focuses mainly on Arthur's failings rather than all of his successes, while eagerly pointing out what Iskander and Gilgamesh and myriad other rulers did right. It is easy to develop a poorer opinion of Arturia as a result of this very skewed representation in the Nasuverse media.

Also, Saber never behaves like a king, either, so it is difficult to imagine her in the role. She's always busy trying to be a good knight, which is pretty admirable since she's one of the few king characters who wilfully obeys their master.

Because Saber's whole goal is give her kingdom a second chance with what she hopes to be a better king. If Saber had been all "Yeah, Camelot was fucking AWESOME" it would have been a very different story.

-Camelot's Lords would submit to none but a perfect flawless king, otherwise preferring to wallow in their decline like a bunch of selfish pigs rolling in the mud.

-Which meant that the world was deprived of her huge, huge welsh titties.

I feel this is one of the broader failings in Saber's narrative, as it implies Saber has no pride in her own kingdom. King Arthur certainly did, and he certainly had pride in himself. Nasu's interpretation does make internal sense, though - Saber was just too damn flawless as a human being to have pride in anything, to the extent that everyone around her felt as though she had no human heart.

Yes, it's internally consistent in the Nasuverse, but it does not mesh with many of the Western interpretations of Arthur.

Also I like how your logic makes it so that a tyrant who puts down rebellions and maintains his own power for evil is a better king than a good man who rules justly and fails to prevent a coup. You're arguing about ruthlessness versus morality, and I think pretty much everyone in the world will agree that ruthlessness is not a desirable trait in a king.

That's precisely why the place lasted as long as it did even though the assembled lord only reluctantly agreed to obey a king in the first place: they all waited for her to mess up, but it never once happened. The opening had to be created by her own knights failing her over MUH FEELS bullshit, because nobody could find the slightest thing to complain about regarding her role as an administrator.
You understand those retarded stuffs are just nonsensical justification Nasu used to advocate his milk cow, right?

To hell with "nobody could find the slightest thing to complain about". If all those niggas agreed to overthrow her, that means she failed to meet their expectation and made them feel uncomfortable, just that simple. A king failed to satisfying his vassals, making compromise with them and even keeping them alive despise the potential rebel can only be described as an incompetent fool who needs to be executed right away for his own citizens' good.

It really doesn't matter how much her friends and enemies worshiped her, if they still decided to rebel against her in the end and even succeed, she deserves no respect as a king.

Saber was an amazing king. Her only real problem was her belief that she had to literally destroy and remove all of her humanity in order to be a proper king. Her thought that she needed to remove all human emotions and turn herself into something other then human was a flawed idea.

Its what a lot of her problems to begin with. Her being so removed and detached from her humanity made her people uncomfortable. People started to question if its in their best interest to be lead by a person who lacks basic human emotions.

So all in all had she been more human instead of thinking had to be some sort of monster that lacked all humanity she probably would have had a much better run as king.

None of the peasants respected Seiba after the stories about how Lancelot had cuckolded the king were circulating.

Then, Arthur either doesn't care (which makes the kingdom lose even more faith in their King), or he temporarily flew into a ballistic cuckrage upon discovering Lancer's lance in Gwen and the connection between the King and kingdom was damaged thanks to that breach of trust.

>>136207398

Hitler was deluded and a fool. Saber never claimed herself to be the perfect king, and in fact, her entire plotline revolved around trying to replace herself because she thought she was too flawed. It is other people who claim that she was actually flawless, so no, you don't get to paint this as Saber calling herself perfect.

This is a narrative story with an omniscient narrator. In this case we have multiple internal and external narrative perspectives explaining that it is no delusion that Saber was a phenomenal king and that it was her knights and her people who destroyed Camelot, out of their own greed and selfishness, not by any fault of her own.

Unless you flatly choose to disregard the text itself, you have no choice but to admit that you are wrong.

Upon this a question arises: whether it be better to be loved than feared or feared than loved? It may be answered that one should wish to be both, but, because it is difficult to unite them in one person, is much safer to be feared than loved, when, of the two, either must be dispensed with. Because this is to be asserted in general of men, that they are ungrateful, fickle, false, cowardly, covetous, and as long as you succeed they are yours entirely; they will offer you their blood, property, life and children, as is said above, when the need is far distant; but when it approaches they turn against you. And that prince who, relying entirely on their promises, has neglected other precautions, is ruined; because friendships that are obtained by payments, and not by greatness or nobility of mind, may indeed be earned, but they are not secured, and in time of need cannot be relied upon; and men have less scruple in offending one who is beloved than one who is feared, for love is preserved by the link of obligation which, owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves you by a dread of punishment which never fails.

Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred; because he can endure very well being feared whilst he is not hated, which will always be as long as he abstains from the property of his citizens and subjects and from their women.

You've never fucking read the VN or Morning of Selection, have you? It makes perfect sense in the story.

They hated the very concept of being unified from the start. Kay even gives a whole speech about how the lords were relieved that nobody could pick up the sword, because none of them wished to submit to a king regardless of how needed that was. They'd rather continue being petty lords of their petty kingdoms, clinging to their petty authority while the Picts and Saxons advanced on them and razed their lands and people.

That's what Camelot was formed out of: a host of selfish cunts with no foresight that didn't realize they were on the brink of annihilation, and would rather throw a tantrum at their one hope for survival than be forced to put their people first for a change.

Which made his knights butthurt until they realized that it had been the right choice, later forgot about it, became butthurt again, then realized it was the right choice and on and one.

It's hilarious how on one hand people bitch she wasn't a tyrant who destroyed her own land, and then bitch about her doing what was necessary to protect that same land.

Like, really, she should have had her lords executed, which would have instantly caused every other lord to rebel and hastened Camelot's demise by a decade, but at the same time should have gone on to fight hopeless battles with a crippled army for the sake of not being cruel.

You people are fucking terrible at this whole armchair ruling thing.

Nigger, read the fucking VN. It's stated explicitly and with no ambiguity: her being a perfect, inhuman king was exactly what they demanded.

There was no winning scenario from the start.

You just keep dancing around the issue because you can't sustain your original point: there was no flaw in her administration and she fulfilled every single requirement they asked of her. They just made a new one afterwards that directly contradicted what they asked of her before.

They were a bunch of petty cunts that refused to obey out of retarded pride and would chose annihilation over having that pride wounded by having to obey someone better then them.

After failing to hold up your original point, you've descended into some far-flung abstract argument about human nature, when the whole point was that there was never any winning scenario to begin with. All the armchair politicians yapping about how she should be a tyrant conveniently omit mentioning exactly how that should have been carried out, given that that choice would have simply hastened the rebellion.

Whether there was a flaw in her administration or not fully depends on whether you agree with the leaving knight's criticism from the perspective of the reader that knows that there was no other efficient option (which is simply posited).
Maybe "exhausting" a village, whatever that may entail, is an act that shouldn't be done even if the consequences are equal or worse.
To say that this "exhausting" is required already requires a value judgement.

Also, you could claim that it is an administrative flaw not to let other humans' emotions brought forth by your actions into your calculus.

I find this whole "hurr durr, high forms of rationality require you to shut down all your emotions" to be a silly concept anyways, though.

>Saber is flawless because the narrator said so
Your argument solely based on this, but you see, this omniscient narrator isn't some transcendental being, he is a Japanese, a normal human just like you and me. He can be wrong and his logic can be flawed just like anyone else. Before you said "Muh author's right", please remember even though in this fiction, the author has the right to create any setting he wants, he still has to follow a basic logic to make the story consistent. If he want to use a special logic different than normal logic in real life, he first has to introduce it to us. Otherwise it will make us readers wonder about the story's consistency and his writing skill. In this case, he calls Saber flawless, but the story itself proves otherwise, so unless he introduce some new definition of "flawless" and why did he calls Saber as such, his words is unreliable.

The normal definition of "flawless" is being able to do something without fail, once you fail, it means you're flawed. A flawless king is someone who can achieve all objectives she wants as a king, if she fails any, she's flawed.

No, it doesn't.

>>
>>136207753
Maybe but making the decision to destroy all of her humanity and become nothing but an ideal wasnt really the right choice either. She wasnt human really. She had no emotions, no real feelings. To be honest there really wasnt a right choice she could have made. It just goes to show that no matter what she was fucked.
>>
>>136210701

In that era, cheating on your husband was not considered the 'smallest of mistakes', it was a literally damning sin that condemns you to hellfire for all eternity, and it was the Church and State's rightful purpose to accelerate your path to hell via execution.

It was the law that adulterers be executed, and Saber's whole thing was making a law that is respected and enforced by all, not just by whoever it suits as it was in the days of previous kings like Iskander and Gilgamesh. Saber could not make an exception and let Guinevere go because if she did, she would be no better than any of the tyrants that came before her.

Yes, you could call her absolute rule of law merciless, but it was fair and equal, unlike all the kings before her, who were merciless AND unfair and unequal.

Your Saber isn't the only person who has to face with that kind of shitty situation, nearly all founder of great empires in history did. Genghis Khan did, Attila the Hun did, Alexander the Great did, Muhammad did. But none of them failed miserably like her. Knows why? Because they didn't pretend to be a flawless ruler without human flaw and expect their vassals and citizens to do so. You will find stupid, greedy, incompetence officers in every system and government, but it doesn't mean those systems and governments will collapse right away because of them. Any competent ruler know how to detect the cancers and remove them from the body, or make compromise in case they can't do it right away to do it later. They also try to satisfy people's needs to erase any seed of rebellion and oppress the rebel immediately if it ever happens.

Just get real and stop calling anyone who fail to do those a good leader.

Remember that she also set everything up so that if a certain renegade knight just HAPPENED to be around, he would not face any resistance if he just HAPPENED to try and rescue Guinevere, but said knight was such a shithead that he just had to go berserk and kill the near-naked unarmored guards who were all but holding a sign saying "We will pose no resistance, just grab her and go mang."

There;s lots of stuff to do to get rid political enemies.
assassination
planting a spy to find out the lords crimes then use it as a justification for banishment, execution, imprisonment.
while doing that install people loyal to you in those positions that are vacant such as the knights in the round table.

She should have had the whole vassal lord assembly murdered then, while hoping nobody would notice and that none of her actually loyal knights would lose trust in her due to all the backhanded murdering? All while Morgan is already choking the court with her intrigue and even most of the "loyal" knights are fucking prima donnas? What part of "court full of seething rancorous cunts" do you have such problems with?

There's no logical choice that could be made to make the situation better. Everything was damned to at the start, since it was the way this setting to created. No one could have any logical way to save her country, including Saber. That's the key here, it means Saber was just another flawed human who couldn't do something all others also couldn't. That's understandable, since "flawlessness" is something only belongs to omnipotent beings who can make miracle mortals can't even wish to imitate. Even in a hopeless situation without any logical solution, a flawless being can still solve everything by a miracle. That's why he's called flawless, there's nothing he can't do, hence he has no flaw. Likewise, if someone fails to do something, they aren't flawless.

You keep thinking in extremes, just like Saber. The options wouldn't be either to mercilessly slaughter them all, to ignore them, or to accommodate all their needs.

Any head of state has to handle preference heterogeneity within the the principal-actor system. Besides ex-ante or ex-post termination and the threat thereof, there's lots of ways how you can influence agents that factually are acting as political opponents in your favour: Incentive systems, efficiency rates, cutting ministries/cabinets together so that only tangential interests collide and, most importantly, compromise, for example.
The mastery of positive reinforcement alone would already get you a long shot. Of course, a machine-like Saber wouldn't be able to see those opportunities - which is why she's a bad administrator.
>>
>>136213938
I'm pretty much convinced you're trolling now.

Let me just spell this out for your dumb fucking ass one last time: you're applying fucking modern politic system mechanics to a medieval court, moreover one made of cunts so petty that the fact that all their needs were being met was superseded by how butthurt they were at her having been selected by the sword instead of them.

Their political and material interests were being met, which was a spectacular achievement considering their own rule would have not achieved the "stay alive" requirement. This wasn't enough. They were jealous from the start, hated the idea of serving a unifying king and not being able to just act as they pleased. From Day 1, the court's plan was watch Arturia like a hawk for the merest slip and then eat her alive. They didn't want anything from her save get rid of her, and as Mordred accurately points out, they would follow even a deranged cruel cunt like her to their certain ruin just for the chance to have an excuse to redeem their pride of the wound of her having pulled the sword when they couldn't.

Go read the novel instead of wanking like an imbecile about your fanfiction plotlines.

I'm surprise you didn't realize there're more than one person trying to point out your idol's fault.

Whether it's a medieval system or a modern one doesn't really matter. Politic didn't change very much over the last millennium. All you need to do is making compromise with right people using right conditions. A job that requires the full understanding of human's heart and behaviors, which fails Saber at her first try anyway.

And if you think just because an ancient system's fill with drooling fools, it's fated to doom eventually, I advice you to go to your local library and read some real history books. There are many example about how competent leaders united lands full of greedy, illiterate, warmongering warlords who only wanted to kill each other and loot as much wealth as possible to become great nations and empires in history.

Getting rid of her would've only been the tool to accomplish the actual goal: restoring their pride. There's more ways to restore someone's pride than humiliating someone who hurt your pride. For example, someone's pride can be restored by having them do and be recognized (if necessary by an authority figure they accept, not yourself) to have done commonly accepted noble acts that are hard to do - or at least appear to be so.

And who the fuck would that be? No, really who? Who else was there? The entire point is that they were all a bunch of petty lords that resented having someone above them. There was exactly one person above them and they hated her guts for being above them. They loathed her from the start solely because she did what they couldn't and wanted her out out of spite. They were so petty that, again, they marched to their certain ruin under Mordred just to quench their butthurt.

So try again. There is no higher authority, there is no one they accept because accepting no higher authority is the entire fucking problem. How do you quench their butthurt which, I remind you, is so spectacularly short-sighted and suicidal that the threat of impending doom isn't even enough to stop it?

They're a bunch of greedy bastards, right? When people are greedy, there're so many weakness you could exploit, unlike Saber, they didn't live solely for the country and the sword, they must have some other interests, wealth, alcohol, fame, women, whatever, just try to win them with what they desired.
Or if there're someone who just too obsessed with prophetic artifacts, just created one, made its legend and gave it to them.

There's both desirable functional and desirable decorative positions with a specific, but definable field of action, like being treasurer or master of the swans. Those titles are independent of their lordship.

Just look at the titles in the imperial court of the HRE and how what they entailed kept changing over time, when the emperor or other influential people felt it to be of use.

You're suggesting "cutting ministries/cabinets" as if a King could just remove vassals' authority at will. Of course it matters. That kind of centralized royal power was only achieved a few times throughout history, and it took GENERATIONS of careful eroding of the nobility to reach the state where the king could simply declare someone no longer in charge of something and expect them to shrug and go away. The French monarchs had to turn their entire lifestyle into a goddamn pony show just to have the nobility so busy with their bullshit that they couldn't plot properly against them, and they only achieved this after generations of careful manipulation and enough stability o waste time in such a fashion.

You're completely retarded.

How about you stop trying to write fanfiction and actually argue on the basis of the story?

If it were self-interest alone, there wouldn't have been a problem. They were going to fucking die without Arturia, the selfish choice was to support her. It was pride, not greed, that motivated them.

All this ceaseless wanking about how there obviously had to be administrative oversights and unfulfilled needs causing her unpopularity go against the story explicitly stating that there weren't, and that it was literally because they were such drama-prone shitheads that they wanted her out because of pride.
>>
>>136215106
>And who the fuck would that be?
Depends on the individual. It doesn't have to be someone who is politically at a higher pull. Sometimes it could simply be someone's father, someone's mentor, someone's rival, someone's peers, people that have done great feats, people whom you make pretend to be those people, the public at large...

Surely, the lands and history of Camelot offer a bit more people and lore to think of authority figures.
>>
>>136215301
Look, as someone told you, you're mixing modern politics with ancient politics.

You're assuming that shuffling the cabinet is the same in ancient politics. It's not.
You can't merely take away a Lord's title, and if you do you ought to expect some aggressive opposition.
You've got to remember that the system's not the same. These lords weren't elected and their responsibilities can't always be taken by Kings (especially in King Arthur's time); the king could say that the Lord's land is his and remove the title of lord from the figurehead, but it wouldn't end with a simple sigh or an angry word.

Like whom? No, really, what is your suggestion? That Arturia should have dug up some lord's (probably dead) father, ask him to tell his son "Oh boy, you're doing a great job!" and this would somehow help ease their resentment toward s completely different person?

This is total nonsense. Mention who. C'mon, who? You're so certain of these extremely specific relationships of people loyal to Arturia (instead of being butthurt like the rest) having influence on those not loyal to her, that I'm sure you can name a few. Also explain how being praised for something unrelated would help them not resent being ruled anymore, or worse, how being praised by someone they hate make them not feel patronized.

I'm not mixing up modern politics with ancient politics here. This shit, as I've said earlier, happened over and over in the HRE, which is even an example of a system on the more decentralized side.

While I acknowledge (and have done so from the start, even before you kept rambling on the cabinet point despite me offering you a multitude of tools) that the feudal systems' vassals have a much higher influence than ministers in modern democracies, I still think that it allows for subtle, scheming, yet influential intervention from sovereigns and their supporters. The kind of stuff Saber would be inept to do.
