Cool detail that I don't think a lot of folks have put thought into yet,
Kaz... my gut reaction is to have the King do the first one (symbolizing a
sense of legitimacy and fostering acceptance) and then let it go from Prince
and Princess to their heirs from that time on, allowing us to start our own
traditions and flavor.  What's everybody else's slant on this one?

Something I stumbled upon today while looking over the soon-to-be Northern
Atlantian Principality webpage was the idea of installing limits on the
number of times a person could be allowed to reign.   The gist of the idea
is this: if you win, you may not fight again for X tournaments after you
step down.  Term limits for princes!

Some of you may go goggle-eyed over this concept, but coming from a kingdom
where 13 reigns were held by two men it doesn't seem so absurd.  What do
y'all think?
