[Artemisia] [Aerie] A Challenge

[ladypdc]

OK,  I have watched this debate and several in the past.  Each time, 
Michael the Loud mentions that he would like to see an Archery Crown 
Tourney because he might then win and become the ideal king.  At the 
very least, he puts forth that he would notice all people 
contributing during his reign and make certain that they received 
their just due of royal notice.
 
Michael, I challenge you to prove your assertion.
 
Next weekend (on October 18) there is an event occurring in your 
area.  It is chock full of opportunities to notice people in all 
areas of the SCA that receive recognition.  There is an Arts and 
Sciences competition, a feast, two types of tourneys, and, of course, 
all of the service work that goes into putting on such a full event.  
 
If you truly think that you can back up your assertions, then go to 
the event.  Then report back to us here all of the people you think a 
good King would have noticed at the event.  Give us their names and 
proper titles and what they did that would/should have been 
recognized.  (at the very least you will be giving them some 
recognition in this forum)
 
Of course it won't be a fair test as you won't also be trying to run 
the regal part of the event and being stopped every five minutes to 
answer questions, settle disputes, participate in peer circles, and 
still make time to spend that precious few minutes with the new and 
fairly new players that will remain in their memory forever.  But 
that's ok, we will grant you that advantage (unless of course you 
would prefer to make it more realistic and volunteer to help out at 
the event yourself)
 
Let's see how many people you actually notice both in front of or, 
perhaps more importantly, behind the scenes.  Can you get their names 
and titles correct and find a way to remember what they did that was 
noteworthy.  If so, we will be more willing to believe your claims 
(and royalty of all sorts will fall over themselves to avail 
themselves of you and whatever methods you use)
 
So, tell us.  Are you up to the challenge?  Or were your statements 
more fiction than fact?  Will we next see a challenge accepted or 
just more excuses tendered?
 
We, or at least I, eagerly await your answer and your proof.
