[MR] Return of the prodigal

[chagankhulan at clan-whitewing.org]

I had meant to keep my electronic mouth shut on the topic of the
PRincipality.  However, someone left the barn door open and the horse is
loose again.
This will be either the 3rd or 4th time this issue has reared its head.
Each time it gets closer and closer to realization then dies.

I would echo the words of several speakers, in particular, Her Excellency,
Countess Rowan.  We must look closely at this idea, judge what is truly
needed, wanted and not needed or wanted.  Is there a solution to the
distance issue that would appease those on the borders as well as those in
the center?  Is it just a monetary issue?  There will always be folks who
have to budget for anything beyond local events but is there a way to
circulate the Kingdom events in such a way as to make them a reachable
local event for these folks periodically.

Before another harsh word is spoken or insult hurled or good intentions
tossed out we must look long and hard at this notion of a principality. 
If we can't come up with a major consensus on why we need to do this then
I suggest we drop the idea and look to more vital issues.

Chagan,
  WHo is more concerned over why there are so few bids for all the Kingdom
events.
