This poll was posted on reddit the other day but I want to see the peeps here think. I also added a couple of choices for fun!

And while the question and choices don't have any spoilers, the comments probably will so read at your own risk. You were warned!

    Martok
    I'll say again....whether he wants it or not! He had more 'Right of Vengance than L'Rell, and the final battle should've have been him and J'mpok.
    "You don't want to patrol!? You don't want to escort!? You don't want to defend the Federation's Starbases!? Then why are you flying my Starships!? If you were a Klingon you'd be killed on the spot, but lucky for you.....you WERE in Starfleet. Let's see how New Zealand Penal Colony suits you." Adm A. Necheyev.

    L'Rell
    People are all "Martok should be" and while he's the better qualified of the options, I'm sure he's like "Whew, thank Kahless I don't have to deal with this political BS again and can go back to the Rotarran and blow stuff up with my buddies!".

    He even mentions it at the beginning of Partisans: "Player: I can think of worse fates (than being Chancellor) Martok: HAA! Try to do the job just for one day and see."

    Literally ANYONE except Martok, because I actually believe in free will and not forcing people to do things they don't want to do, unlike SOME people.​​

    It's pretty important for people to remember that this is not real. It's fiction, and a video game.

    And on that note, anything these characters "said" in any of these missions were just what the writer wrote. They wrote his lines the way they did because they were not planning for him to be the Chancellor. So certain people could point and say "see, he said he didn't want to be!".

    It's not real though. He didn't really say that. And they could have written him to say that if it's needed it's a sacrifice he's willing to make for the Empire.

    But anyway, as long as we can all remember none of this is real and none of these characters have any real thoughts/desires, we should all be ok.

    Whilst I agree, there's a saying...."Great men don't seek power, they have it thrust up opon them". Martok had it happen once, and it will happen again.

    Worf
    I voted for Worf since he literally represents everything a Klingon should be and since Martok clearly doesn't want the Job, Worf knows what it means to be Klingon He isn't a coward and fights with honor, Worf is also least likely to pull any shady stuff like using a computer virus or teaming up with the Tal Shiar, he isn't politically motivated, plus he's one of the few intelligent Klingons in existence and he knows when to pick his battles,

    my second choice would be a third Kahless clone, if Boreth Monks can whip a L'Rell clone that quickly, they do the same with another Kahless plus it wouldn't be the first time they cloned him.

    What about one of those air filled things that no matter howmany times you knock them down they get back up again. I think they are called weebles.

    Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. I think it repsresents klingon beleifs well enough. If not it's a good morale example.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKcAWO_IznI

    Then will arrive the brog of p to take over. For only he with his pitch fork can can succeed where all other klingons failed.

    BTW, when did weebles stop being blow up things?

    Kagran
    I voted for Kagran. Yes in theory Martok. But I will concede J G Hertzler is likely a bit expensive for ongoing continual use. Probably limited to episode by episode depending in need and budget. With that said Kagran is the one that has the absolute respect of everyone. He led the combined Alliance forces against the Iconians. He was the one that found the way forward in the Iconian War was Honor and Compassion. He more than any other character we've encountered represented the best of the Klingon's going forward. Not a pair of centuries old hags who screwed up the species when they were around the first time and brought nothing but death and misery for all involved.

    Honestly, if I could vote for Gorkon, I would...but as old as his actor is, even if he would've been a consideration on Cryptic's part, I seriously doubt he'd be able to provide long-term VA for STO.​​

    Maybe that much power shouldn't be placed in the hands of a single individual. Martok flatly refused to be chancellor again. L'rell didn't sound particularly thrilled with the prospect of taking up the mantle. And J'Ula didn't want it. So how about maybe 'many' of the above? Maybe all three of them should share it.

    J'Ula wanted it, and badly as her internal conflict shows, when she takes the blade, but she get a clear warning on Boreth, that this post is not fated to her, and if she became chancellor, then Quonos will be down to another civil war, or worse.

    However your concept of triumvirate is good, and i vote for it.

    Had the same idea. Me.
    Step 1: Join the federation
    Step 2: Abandon the position of chancellor.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    Worf
    My second choice is cloning another Kahless for Chancellor/Emperor, Martok did mention the possibly of a third and we're not letting that plot hook go, maybe this clone could produce heirs so we can have a bunch of descendants of Kahless at the Empire's disposable to use against any future Fek'Ihri attacks as the Kahless Anti-Fek'Ihri Force or KAF basically the Qo'noS version of Doomguys or Space Marines.

    If they have the ability to clone previous Chancellors, I'd suggest K'mpec.

    He was the longest-serving and, considering how long he was able to maintain peace in the Klingon Empire, arguably the most successful. And his death, via poisoning, was basically the result of political bickering between impatient rivals for his succession.
    But he'd still be fat.

    Worf
    I voted for Worf, because it be nice to see him being the Klingon Leader with the close ties he has with Martok.

    While I realize it may be harder to get Worf back regularly for updates, I suspect that's why we have the Mother of the Empire taking the helm, as she's likely a bit more willing to periodically return from time to time.

    I had wished we had a Klingon leader a bit more like D'Tan, or what the Federation has with Admiral Quinn, as both are more reasonable. Though L'Rell might very well also fit that role just as good as Worf would have. :)
