ANST - Re: Gulf Wars update

[James Crouchet]

I am afraid I must differ on the idea that crowns should cope "just 
like everyone else".  The crowns are not everyone else, not 
because they are high-muckety-mucks, but because their workload 
will be many times that of most of us. Extra space, conveniences, 
etc. are more than "nice" for a crown; they can make a difference 
in their presentation and presence.

There are, of course, others who have especially heavy and/or 
important workloads. Autocrats, Ciurgeons and probably others as 
well. It only makes sense to provide those people with what we 
can to make their work more effective.

In the case of a crown, consider this: if you or I come to a battle 10 
minutes late that means we are at the end of the inspection line 
rather than at the front. Or maybe we miss the start of it. If our 
crown is 10 minutes late then hundreds of fighters lose 10 minutes 
of fighting time. That helps no one.

I do agree with Monsieur Grace's assessment that it was 
apparently a misstep on the part of the autocrat(s) that caused 
this, and that they must bare the responsibility for putting all to 
rights.

I respect a crown that is willing to get down in the trenches with us 
whenever their job permits, but I do not think it wise for them to be 
treated "just like everyone else".
