Are you serious? Please elaborate. Quicksilver is actually a decent candidate for either position, but I'm not going to explain why, deal with it

Assuming scum somehow doesn't have a role in the picking of 4 names in a pre-D1 stage (with 10 hours to go before voting deadline, if the 24 hours post is taken as the start of the countdown), with about a quarter of the players not even having posted yet seems rather optimistic. Especially as the candidates so far are rather lacking in their appeal. Here we go:
Emperor
Acrofales - not much to say that hasn't been said. Excellent candidate. Must vote.
Carolus Magnus - has not said what he'll do as emperor, but is making sense.
Mattchew - mainly trolling and bromancing Hassy. Might be better than Carolus if he steps up his play.
U - not much reason to vote, not much reason not to vote.
ATLAS - a robot, who has done little other than troll this game.
Quicksilver - anybody taking this seriously?
Empress
Hassybaby - if you like cats, vote for him. WTF.
Companion Cube - is about as useful as you'd expect from an inanimate object. Still better than Hassy atm
Kurumi - wants to be empress so he can play with his boobies...
If I am missing someone please let me know, but I would really like some quality put forward and some meaningful discussion on what people plan to do if they're voted for. I don't believe we should agree on 4 people, but I do believe we should try to consolidate votes on people we can agree on are townie. So far that has been rather hard.

If town openly decide on 2 good candidates for each spot then we should get roughly 10 votes for each, enough that scum can´t manipulate who, only who first. Assuming there are 6 scum, then votes placed on a candidate who only get 5 votes are totally wasted, they only help scum get more influence. Running without a chance of winning is pointless.
No, I don´t want to be the Empress, nor Emperor for that matter. I know my chances are very, very slim of getting picked, and even if I got elected I wouldn´t do much good there for the short while I would be in office.

Heh, you're assuming that we can get people organized enough to NOT vote for their prime candidate for emperor, but their second-best, just so he gets enough votes to be heir? This sounds like a scum plan to be able to manipulate the votes to me. More so, because insofar as I understand the OP and the later posts, the list is NOT publicized and we don't even know who is heir to the throne.
Everybody should vote for whoever they think would make the best emperor/empress. Vote for someone you think is town, and capable of using the power wisely. For now, I am voting for ME for emperor. It'd be great if some more people stepped forward as empress. Hassybaby and CompanionCube seem to be the only two who have put their name forward. I am not really convinced by either so far, although I prefer cube to Hassy: despite his flavour posting he seems to be putting in some effort into the game and cutting down on the trolling one-liners.
Forumite, have you thought of entering the race for empress?

You are missing the point, the heirs are almost as important as the first pick, but much easier to get elected for scum. If we don´t make sure there´s a good candidate for each heir position, and that they get enough votes, then I can guarantee that both heirs will be scum, or whoever scum want in that position.

Also, you're wrong. Here is from the OP:
Of course, there is an order to inheritance. All players will PM me the name of two players, one for Emperor and one for Empress. The person with the most votes becomes Emperor, and his heir is the player behind him in line. Similarly, the player for Empress will become Empress and the following player will be the Empress's heir.
The number of votes decides the line of succession. All anybody has to do is decide who he/she wants as Emperor and who as Empress. Send those two names to Caller.
HINT: I should be emperor.
