SR - Principality Discussion

[Martin, Brian]

Greetings All,

I would like to re-iterate that all of these proposed meetings are not 
to advocate a principality. They are to discuss what the people who 
live in the southern and western areas of the kingdom would like to do 
or not do. The discussion has been burning up the internet but not 
ever is on line. If we are to include everyone, regardless of their 
opinion, we need to discuss this at events, fighter practices, 
meetings and so forth. These meeting should just be to share 
information and ideas. I certainly think that this process should be a 
lengthily one regardless of the decision.

Respectfully,
Pendaran

Howdy,
Just got on the list.  I noticed that a meeting with the crown is
already being discussed in reference to a principality. Isn't this
moving a bit too fast?   My concerns are that this is a region that
doesn't play like a region.  Many people in the smaller groups will 
get
drawn up into the excitment without understanding what is actually
happening!!  Wouldn't it be better to figure out a regional name and
develop a regional identity before moving onto principality status?
This is a very big step for this kingdom and this region.
Have ALL groups in the region been contacted about this? Which groups
are they? Have the seneschals in all the groups discussed this with
their populace? AND how does the populace of all these groups feel 
about
principality status! NOT necessarily the members of this mailing list 
or
any other internet group feel.  Now, once that is done, then a 
regional
name should be chosen, boundries decided, etc.  Until then, I think
talking to the crown about this is putting the cart before the horse. 
Please make sure ALL the bases have been covered before taking the 
next
step.  I don't want to see any principality potentially hurt this
kingdom and it could if this is done in haste.

my 5 Cents!
