NR - Principality

[Phillip Stallcup]

Is it a natural progression?  On one hand I agree with you, and a group that
stagnates will die.  However, for me a natural progression would be: ok
group your incipient because you have 5 members, now you have 25 you're a
shire, now you have 75 you're a barony we need to hold Baronial elections
etc..  But the way I understand it, the group has to petition at each level.
If it were natural, we wouldn't be having this conversation because, like
the numbers suggest, we would already be a Principality.

As for the CPs 'job', I'm fuzzy on the higher rank responsibilities, so this
was just a guess.

Speaking of job, isn't it funny how so many aspire to have higher ranks,
which in turn give responsibilities that at some point start taking away
from the activities they did to achieve the award in the first place?  I'm
not being negative, really I'm smiling, but take a King/Queen who is a
Pelican who got the Pelican for say cleaning/setup/helping at every event,
they would find it difficult to do that as King or Queen.

For me, the reason is that it is a natural progression.  An incipient group
starts out with 5 members... grows to 25 and becomes a Shire... grows to 75
and becomes a Barony,...etc.

I don't think that anything is broken, but I do think that there is nothing
wrong with having the desire for more...  More ceremony - more fun.  I
firmly
believe that if you aren't growing, you are dying, and it is good to have
something to strive towards.  My concept of a CP's *job* is that it would be
their responsibility to attend to the Principality, not follow the Crown
around.  That is what they have entourage for.
