Greetings unto ye of the Merry Rose!

Klaus had questions for Leifr, and 'tho I am a Young Fart, I have some 
answers to them ...

  >In what way would a Prince/Princess provide fun that is not currently
  >available from any of the current cast of Landed Nobility (Royal and
  >Baronial)?

Their Potential Highnesses could be present at events that Their 
Established Majesties would not be at.  Are having royals at events fun?

  >In what way would a Coronet List provide fun that is not currently
  >available from all the other Tourneys hosted in the Kingdom?

Is participating in a Coronet List, as opposed to, say, participating in 
a biannual Crown List, fun?  It gives more people an opportunity to bash, 
I should think.

  >In what way would Inter-Principality Wars be fun that couldn't be
  >fullfilled other events?

Wars are fun, aren't they?  Here at Mason, we happen to have access to a 
HUGE campground/park area that would make a FABULOUS site for a war.  
IMHO, a war there would be more fun than any ol' College event we can put 
on campus proper.

  >In what way would more orders be fun?

More people could belong to 'em, I guess ... and I suppose belonging to 
an order would be fun, wouldn't it?

  >What good for the populous do you foresee coming from principality
  >offices that is not currently available from the current Kingdom and
  >Local offices?

Dunno.  Maybe more people would feel less intimidated by the office?  
I'd imagine it would be fairly daunting to be seneschal of a major 
five-state kingdom.

  >What good for the officers do you foresee coming from principality
  >offices that is not currently available from the current Kingdom and
  >Local offices?

For the officers?  Smaller area to keep track of, for one thing.  In a 
big kingdom like this, a lot more small areas, small problems, small 
events, small mortal-scale anything kinda falls through the cracks.  
Those cracks would get smaller, I'd imagine, and less things'd fall through.

  >In what way will setting up principalities cause the baronies to work
  >together?

Goodness, is this area so disjointed that the baronies don't work 
together?  I'm sorry, I'm fairly new around here, so I don't know about 
these things.  But I imagine that if the outer borders were narrowed, 
there might be a greater sense of teamwork.

On the other hand, having no principality might lead to interbaronial 
events.  Has it in the past?  Has having a big area led to greater 
alliance between baronies?  I dunno.

  >What good for the populous do you foresee coming from the addition of a
  >Princely court?

Not so much more glitz, but perhaps greater visibility of glitz?  I dunno.

  >What good for the "in-crowd" of the new court do you foresee coming from
  >the addition of a Princely court?

Tremendous good for the in-crowd, but a better point would be, do we need 
another in-crowd?

Eternally confused,
