[Artemisia] Kingdom Calendar Change Proposal (long)

[Jackman-Brink, Julia]

I think we should go back to the old principality schedule....2nd weekends.  No one seems to be using that series anymore. Not even Atenveldt.  

Other than that, I like the rest of the proposal.  There are also many other kingdoms that when your win a Crown, because of the way the calendar is set, you already know where you will be invested, but you are in the position to choose where you will be stepping down.  Preplanning happens, it has to these days.  The further out the better in most cases.  You'll notice many kingdoms are also using hotel space/conference centers for large Kingdom Coronations now....it's because they can book them a year or more in advance.  Some have even gone to having a central site, and emergency staff in reserve for when other options fail.  Artemisia is sadly behind the times in this area.  It's not a bad thing, but will make it harder in the long term.

A couple of comments.  I like the idea of changing the calendar back to a similar structure that we had in the early days of the Kingdom and our principality days.  I do think it's easier for people to make a Kingdom level event quarterly as opposed to two events two months in a row for both financial reasons and for those who need to ask for time off.

I do not like having it the third weekend of the month.  AnTir, which is a neighboring Kingdom, has a crown (May) and a coronation (July) on the third weekend of the month.  Since they are a close kingdom, I hate the idea of conflicting with them and as proposed at this time our July Coronation would be the same weekend as theirs.

To the person who commented about other Kingdoms trying to preplan the location of Coronations, AnTir has been doing that since I started traveling over there in 1995 or so.  It seems to work fairly well for them.

Just a few quick comments.
