So, Larkin, are you saying that you don't get any pleasure from the
knowledge that they give awards for the activity you're enjoying, and
that if you should be noticed doing it well, you might get one of those
awards?  I'm not suggesting it's anyone's primary reason for going
to events, but doesn't it make the event that much sweeter?  Would
you be just as happy to go to events that lack that aspect?  I think
most people would prefer to keep that possibility, and that this would
tend to influence (not compel) them to go events within their own
principality, and not to others.

Another argument against this principality proposal.
