[MR] Please Boycott Unevent

[Estienne de Condé]

It's my understanding that Unevent (such as all Kingdom events) is put on by
a group, be it a Barony, Shire, or what have you. If one that is centrally
located does not submit a bid then Kingdom has very little choice in the
matter.

The issue is not with Kingdom, but with a lack of Groups putting in Bids.
>From what I have seen, this is not an issue only with unevent, but with many
others that are coming up.

Did you, perhaps, get your group to submit a bid for Unevent? Did you
volunteer your time to put it together, run it as autocrat? If so, you
should have been told why your bid wasn't accepted. If not, you really don't
have anything to complain about.

If you see something that you perceive as a problem, and are not proactive
in creating the solution, you lose all rights to complain about it in a
volunteer society as far as I am concerned. The solution lies not with
Kingdom - but with people getting together and working with a central group
to get them to host it in their lands.
