ANST - Long Courts, Loud Populace

[Tim McDaniel]

On Wed, 30 Jul 1997, Gunnora Hallakarva <gunnora at bga.com> chewed out
someone for public rudeness.  However, publicly correcting someone's
manners uninvited is ALSO rude, so I could then chew out *Gunnora* for
*her* being rude, except then *I'd* be rude, so let's call the whole
thing off.

I concur with the other opinion: there's usually no reason to wait in
court if you're miserable.  Unfortunately, peers (say, Laurels) do
have to wait if a member of their order is being inducted ... at the
end of court.

In period terms, I think oaths of homage and fealty were one-on-one.
In SCA terms, I think it's boring as hell to do that in court.  I'd
strongly suggest to the Crown either en masse in court or individual
later.  (I'm not entirely sure I'd do a court with individual
fealties, not that I've ever had or am likely to have the chance.)
