[Artemisia] Sorry, this is a gripe and complaint

[Christy Lewis]

Mistress Jerilyn, 

 

I can certainly understand your gripe as it can be difficult to reccommend someone for something if you do not kow what they do or do not have. However I find it easiest to ask the perosn directly. You do not have to say "I want to reccomend you for something but I need to know waht you have." You can simply ask in a conversation withthe person what awards they have and how they got them. It would be the easiest form and the fastest, get it straight from the horses mouth per say. If you do not like the direct way or are not comfortable asking you can always talk to some one that knows them well. Not that you do not have valid points, but either way I believe that is the best method and one that has never failed me. Another option would be to just send a recommendation of what they have done and let the crowns decide which award would be most appropriate. I do not know what all the awards are and what they are for, that would be another way I could do it if I did not know. Just my two bits.

 

Respectively, 

Lady Ealusaid

> 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.

> Mistress Jerilyn of Vert Silva
