[ANSTHRLD] Help Needed on: The correct spelling of names fortheCrown Tourney's Court Report

[Darin Herndon]

One administrative note for court heralds, unless Star has changed the policy...

Since the reign of Drake and Sibri, it was made a policy to include all awards "read into law" on the court report where it was made effective.  A note should be placed in the comments that the recipient was not present or that it was "in absentia".  Zodiacus Herald upon receiving the report would hold off on placing it in the OP until one of two things happens; 1) someone informs Zodiacus that the award was presented to the person, or 2) the reign of the Crown who presented the award ends.

In the past, confusion on which report to include an award on (where it was read vs. where it was later actually presented) led to occasions where it showed up on neither.

The reasons it would go into the OP at the end of reign, even if Zodiacus has not been told it was presented:
1) Zodiacus was frequently not being told for years after something got presented.
2) Completing the OP for the next reign helped give the next Crown accurate information and prevent the giving of an award already given.
3) The Black Star report from Zodiacus always comes out a month later than the actual OP entry so there is still another month to surprise the person before it gets printed.

Star or Zodiacus, is that still correct?

A final note (I hope).

Please note on your report who was presented their award in absentia (the
award was read into law but not presented) so that the OP can reflect the
secrecy we have all been sworn to.  In this case, the husband of one of
these people who was not at court is a herald.
