Just as in mundane life, there are rules and laws. It *is* a natural
progression in my opinion. It is the same as a teenager getting his driver's
license. No one hands it to him because he turn's 16. He must pass the
test
and fill out the application, and pay a fee. Nothing is automatic as far as
group status, even an incipient group must petition for full status. The
petition can be part of the fun. I wrote the petition for Northkeep's
Baronial status. HL Livia and lots of other good folks helped. It was great
researching the activities of the group, and putting together a package for
the "important" people to read.
Fair enough. Having never went through any of this process, was it
'painful'? What I mean is did you see the same kinds of things on a
smaller, admittedly much smaller, scale? >>
Northkeep did go through an amazingly similar process. We had meetings where
we hashed out everyone's (who was interested) thoughts and problems about
becoming a barony. We listened to the concerns, and corrected what we could.
I wouldn't call it painful. It was a challenge. Northkeep loves a
challenge, and determined that we were ready to take a step. Yes, there were
"growing pains", but again in my opinion, they are merely a necessary part of
the process and nothing to fear.
