Charley,
<p>Thanks for not discounting the role of the Autocrat the way that the
"disaster fantasy" three have. I find their attitudes paranoid and
rude. I've autocrated thirteen times now but I guess their experience
autocraring a couple of times or being head troll twice makes them troll
gods or something. This Barony can be an ugly place. Too many
power junkies that smother with micro management. (NUMB Syndrome)
Officers, huh, give 'em an inch and they want to become a ruler... Of everything...it
just couldn't survive with out them. One thing I've learned playing
this game is that anyone of us could drop off the face of the Earth tomorrow
and the SCA would not fall apart. We might be missed (some more than
others) but you hardly notice in the running of the machine. Bottom
line... people can be way too self-important. It's not a pretty thing.
<p>As we've talked about, troll should be run following the Gate Registration
suggestions from the Anstorrina web pages. The same way it was run
last year at Black, White and Sort of Gray. I worked very well and
I would like you to use the method again. It looks like you have
enough copies of everything. I will have a few extras as I always
do. I will give you the feast tokens and site tokens the day of the
event as well as a few other troll supplies. From our past conversations
I have no worries that Troll will run smooth. Don't let the "doom-sayers"
drag you down with their non productive BS.
<p>Pax,
<br>Marius
