NR - Principality

[Pug Bainter]

Carl Chipman (cchipman at nomadics.com) said something that sounded like:
> 1.  Greater Chance of Royalty at smaller events.

Yes, but does it truly mean more recognition since these people already
know the people in the region? (The pomp is good though if the people
are willing to work for it.)

> 2.  Allows more freedom to the king and queen, as the hectic rate at which

Does it mean that you will never see the King and Queen unless they are
local? Sounds like a drawback to the local people.

> 3.  Allows more recognition for the newer regional fighters.  Sometimes it

Damn fighters always wanting recognition. What about the artisans and
those doing service? *wink*

Unless there are seperate circles for the Principality that does
polling, this will make no difference in my humble opinion. The local
Knights still generally focus on the local fighters. The same is true
for the other Orders.

Oh yeah. That's what *I* always want. Why don't you make all your really
bad mistakes on the people you have to live with every day? *wink*

> 5.  I know as Ansteorrans most people don't like to say this, but sometimes

Yes, but you can't get away from the CP since they live with you. You
have a better chance of avoiding TRM.
