The Royal Court
The Achievement Hunter Royal Court was first seen in Let's Build - King Geoff. The original build was used in the first 6 King Lets Plays, whilst the 7th, Sky King Ryan, used a custom court in the Sky Factory mod (as by then the Achievement City world was unloadable), and the 8th, King Jack, was hosted at the Disneyworld build on the MCParks public server.
The Christmas King spin-off episode, separate from the main series' line of succession, used a newly built festive court in a distant area of the Achieveland world.
The Royal Court was where the King of Achievement Hunter resided and ruled over the other Achievement Hunters. The first King was Geoff in Episode 57. Since then, competitions were held where the King assigned tasks to his subjects and whoever completed the task first got a piece of the Tower of Pimps. The competition kept going until someone had a completed Tower, thus winning the competition and becoming the new King of Achievement Hunter. Listed below are the Royal Court competitions:

[#9] King Matt - Episode ???[]
Nothing major was known of what Matt might have been planning for his reign, premiere date included, aside from him having "some ideas" for it, at one point. However, given Ryan Haywood's actions and subsequent dismissal from Rooster Teeth, it seems unlikely that there will ever be another King, as Haywood was strongly associated with the series.
Other Kings[]
Christmas King - Episodes 344/345[]
