You are absolutely correct.   A Baron(ess) may give out AoA with the prior 
approval of the Crown as well.   I agree that more AoAs should be given this 
way at this point in Artemisia.   It would bring more people to local events 
as well - and in Artemisia, this is something that very definitely needs to 
be considered.

Yup - long courts suck - for many reasons.   If those reasons are not 
addressed, people begin to have negative feelings about Court, and, as we 
have begun to see, don't attend.   The ONLY reason *I* go to Court is to see 
my friends get the recognitions they deserve.   Warms the little cockles of 
my heart!    I absolutely HATE it when you get someone coming into Court 'on 
business' and then they stand up there addressing only either the K & Q, or 
the Ruling Noble up there, or the visiting Royalty, and there's this long 
private conversation where nobody in the populace has a CLUE as to what's 
going on, there's laughing with this person and the Thrones, and all this 
inside stuff - and we all have to sit thru this for like 5-10 minutes.   
Then here comes ANOTHER guy wantin' to do the same 
thing...............aaarrrrggghhh!    This is where the Herald would come 
in.

sorry.  Didn't mean to rant....   We DO need some new directions in Court - 
but people have to speak out, people need to contribute ideas (which you all 
are doing) and this info, these suggestions, need to get to Them What Count. 
  (in Court matters)

Keep up this vein!  Let's hear other ideas!!!
