[Northkeep] Timeline for Baronial candidates

I'm not thinking of this as anything of the worst of politics, as much as it's just standard 'we have to work with the decisions of the Crown.'  My understanding is that the Crown is only going to be available on one date to come up here, and everything unfolds from that.  The timeline is short, but there's no rule that says you have to be happy about it.

By the way, the list rule is no MUNDANE politics, and opinions are fine, unsupported assertions are bad, so you are doing fine, Damon.

The various members of the Barony don't have the time to speak with or discuss the choice openly?  Does no one else see this is as a recipe for much badness?    Or is the succession already determined and the rest only a formality?  What are the plans for those unable to attend the polling meeting?

"OH the BOD, the BOD, the BOD, they think they're god, they're god, they're god..."   Much better another month before the polling and announcement than this rush to judgement.
