[Artemisia] Sorry, this is a gripe and complaint

[Jeri Foster]

Greetings all,

I'm sorry, but this is a complaint.

I'm finding it frustrating to try and find out what has happened. Now I really know that in the background somewhere reports are being sent hither and yon and things are being taken care of, but as a member of the populace I would appreciate getting a little information.

I know that this last weekend there was a Knighting. I know that someone got a Gryphon. But unless you were actually at the Court or friends of one of the people receiving these esteemed honors, who knows?

I think it is a real shame that we are acknowledging people in the Kingdom for all of their hardwork and honor, and yet few actually hear about it. We are asked to recommend people for awards, but it's very difficult to find out if they already have that award without asking them directly.

Maybe there is a way to find out this information that I'm unaware of, and if there is I would be happy to be educated. But if not, I don't think I'm the only one with this problem.

I do know that the Order of Precedence is being worked on. Great. I'm looking forward to seeing it. But in the meantime, could we have some kind of acknowledgement of awards given at events?

What I'm really asking for, in the minimium, is within a week or so of an event where official awards are given is a list of the awards and who received them. I think it could be culled from whatever reports are sent, by whomsoever is receiving them. Then have it posted on this list or the Kingdom website.

I'm sorry if this places an additional burden on someone, but I think it is important. Of course, that's a personal opinion.

Sincerely,
Mistress Jerilyn of Vert Silva
