NR - Principality

[Carl Chipman]

Just from my few discussions with other peoples of the mists:

Additional Pros:
1.  Greater Chance of Royalty at smaller events.
2.  Allows more freedom to the king and queen, as the hectic rate at which
they must travel could be reduced a bit.
3.  Allows more recognition for the newer regional fighters.  Sometimes it
hard for the members of the chivalry to know all of the "up-and-coming"
fighters from an area, but if the compete well in the coronet list, its a
good indicator to check them out.
4.  Good practice for being king and queen.  Mistakes made by a
prince/princess in their region are more likely to be forgiven because the
region knows them better than an out of area King and Queen.
5.  I know as Ansteorrans most people don't like to say this, but sometimes
you don't really care for the king or queen.  With a prince/princess, you
could always play with them instead of with the crown.  I know that this
attitude is not kinda good, but its true that people do not universally
like other people.

P.S. in case anyone remembers this is a rehash of an e-mail I sent out about
6 months ago...
