In Case of Court
Surprises are alright, but not necessary.
Contacts
If a contact is needed, please find an active member of Clan na Bheithir. Find one, and they'll spread word to the rest of the clan, get me to attend, and likely take part in any schtick that might exist.
- Some Active Members: Serric der Grimmige, Alexander MacGregor, Pippin A' Bheithir, Finebhar an Bheithir, Brógáin Ó Ríain, Markus Farmaðr
Some Personal Preferences
- Scheduling: Settmour Swamp is my home. While I do attend events outside this barony, you will find it impossible to get me to attend an event that conflicts with Black Gryphon Inn, Mudthaw, or Quest.
- Concerning Tsar (Annoying nitpicky bs): I am using Alternate Titles, but time periods can get a little weird. Dalek is living well before the use of this Moscovite title, so if alternate titles are used for flavoring a scroll or other kind of speech/writing, I'd suggest using Velikii Kniaz & Kniazhich/Kniaz instead of Tsar & Tsarevich when referring to the Crown & Coronet.
In Case of Peerage Package
More than one person has suggested I consider adding a little something. However, I feel no motivation to write such a document at this time.
I am not the sort of person who aims for awards or titles -- they just occur at my face when those who surround me judge it appropriate.
Also, I just don't thrive in those master/apprentice relationships that often occur before this package of information becomes desirable, so if you really want this to happen, you're going to need to figure that out.
A/V
I am strongly opposed to being found on a live stream at any event. Recorded audio, video, and still photography are better, though. Send me copies.
