Could be!  But I don't think so!!

Actually my previous answer covers this too.....it doesn't necessarily have to
do with popularity issues.  No one can "live up to" the previous Landeds!  If
this were the case there would be stagnation in the group.  Change, whether
of Nobles or Crown for that matter, is a dynamic.

The original question, and this one really refer back (in a roundabout way) to your
very first question.  When you have strong officers, your job is easier.  In reality
the Seneschal is the workhorse of the group, the Nobles have (if they wish to do so)
a pro-active roll.  There are some who prefer to be more the "figurehead" types, and
not be the ones directly responsible for the day-to-day decisions of the group.  There
are some you wouldn't want to!!  Then there are those who ENJOY (god help them)
getting in there and dealing with the littlest details.  As with any organization where
participation is optional, they have as much (or as little) to do as any of us.
