Believe what? That the SCA uses certain terms which are undeniably silly
but are retained for common-denominator ease of communications? Like
"autocrat"? Having finally located and checked Kingdom Law, I see now
that there is no reference to troll, but quite a few usages of the word
"autocrat". My use of the word "mandate" may have been misleading, but I
believe the Corporate requirements for an event notice include at the
least, the word "autocrat", which makes it, effectively, mandated.
"Troll" is questionable, but then I did say I didn't know if this is
still, or ever was, true. 

Oh, the Brooklyn Bridge is no longer mine to sell. Got some cash for it, though...
