Somewhat rhetoricallly.... What Nobs are these?  If they're your local folks 
(Baron & Baroness or equivalent), how did the event get to the point of 
about-to-happen without their realizing what your intent was?  If they were 
"outside" Nobs, why didn't your own Nobs stand up in your defense?

Less rhetorically, I've found that you can avoid a lot of hassle, as 
Autocrat or Head Cook, by getting your own mucky-mucks on board (or at least 
aware of and acquiescing to) your plans.  That way if out-of-area Nobs show 
up, you can throw the Baron at them as a defense, while getting on with the 
work of runnign the event.  That's why they get the fancy hats.
