The current reality is in fact that late reservations from Royals of another
Kingdom did in fact preempt someone from keeping their rightful cabin.  If
our group was in fact not first then so be it.  That was the rules.  What
bothers most people is the fact that the ones making the decisions did not
up hold to their advertisement and award on a first come first served.

having run into exactly this situation in other groups, the "current
reality" should remain the advertised and previously sold reality.  if
changes need to be made, then you make them for *next* event / festival.  if
that means some royalty who did'na get their reservations in on  time, then
they tent like everyone else .... fair is fair.

some philosophical questions  ... in that in this game the royals are
assumed to be the reflections of chivalry and are supposed to be the guiding
lights that the rank-n-file follow and aspire to, does the nature of
chivalry allow knowing acceptance of a billet that was previously "sold" to
another and was emptied for your convenience ... what of the indivual(s) who
are now seriously inconvenienced so that you can be accomodated in better
quarters?   ... what about those who have more of a need of these spaces
than you for medical or family reasons?  ... how about those traveling long
distances that can't camp as easily as a local traveler can ....
