Well, I think some folks entering Crown ought to think a little bit
more about what happens if they win it, before they enter. You, at
least, have the benefit of having been through it once. Some folks
seem to get caught up in it and forget that winning can be a life-
changing event, in both good and bad ways. I've tried to put some of
this in this file, although it is questionable how many Crown entries
have actually read it:
crown-cost-msg (24K) 4/20/00 The monetary and other costs of
being a
crown in the SCA.

Of course if any of you are past Crowns and would like to add your
prospective to this, I'd love to have it.
I'm reminded that Duke Inman in one Crown Tournament had told his
consort that she didn't have to worry about being Queen again, that
he was simply entering Crown to make sure a certain person was
eliminated. They had already both sat Crown at least twice already.
Duke Inman has been known in Ansteorra as the "Once and Every Other
King". Well, Inman accomplished his goal, but high on adrenalin, he
didn't withdraw. Or lose. I was told his consort was none too happy.
So Gunthar, think about it ahead of time. I think you'd make a
wonderful King again. Don't Count yourself out, yet. :-) And oh yes,
the points on the pointy hat go up. :-)

I think your chances of winning Crown are much better.
