Precedence

[msmemory_archive]

I definitely need to whip together the list of Civil Peers By Seniority. I was prompted to do Carolingia's list following the Frosty Revels Ball, when we spent a little time scurrying around so as to give the right answer to jdulac, when the toasts were due. It's clear I need to have the same list set up for the kingdom, and a copy stuck in my feast basket, not just on my pc.

It seems last night that jducoeur (May 1992) was in fact the second-most-senior non-Royal peer at feast. As far as we could tell, there was one pair of Count/Countess (Griffyth & Aikaterine, seated next to us), and one Pelican (Quentin), who outranked him, plus the Crown. All the other elder peers had gone home or out instead of staying to feast.

I know it points me out as geek, but I love scampering around trying to figure out who is the ranking peer at an event.

Cool. I understand this concept especially when I fight Crown. Unless Manfred is there. All I have behind me is Royal Peers. If Manfred is there, then I have him and then the Royal Peers.

I've been to a couple of feasts where it went all the way *below* the Grant of Arms level!

Order of Precedence numbers. Rank plus date of award.

And you can either write them in permanent ink on the foreheads of the members, or you can have them "tattooed on the back of the neck".

When you do that, can I have a copy? I get this question far far far too often. I have my local group's ranking memorized, but not the entire Kingdom. :-)
