Crown Tourney

[msmemory_archive]

61 entrants, it appears, in Spring Crown Tournament. I'm waiting for confirmation, which I expect to get, that we will do the usual procession before the list.

(Do folks want me to post the re-ordered list closer to the tourney date, once I've shuffled around Master Phillip's list?)

Duke X outranks Duke Y because he became a duke before Y did. Unless I'm wrong.

I concur with your assessment, but I had a discussion with a gentle who believed that Duke Y outranked Duke X in the East because he has reigned both earlier and more often in the East.

Just because said gentle believed it doesn't make it true. :)

The East Kingdom Order of March does not distinguish between "native" Dukes and other Dukes.

Oh yes. The first rule about arguing authenticity on the internet is that the first one to say something without documentation is wrong.

I documented! :)

palegreyminion is correct.
Also, the fact that Darius and Lucan have reigned more times than Vissevald does not mean they outrank him: he became a Duke first.

You have correctly guessed one of the names that came up in that discussion. Thanks for the double-check.

And interestingly, this is a problem that sorts itself out if you think about the interactions between the people involved. I'm senior to Lucan because Lucan thinks of me as a duke from his youth, even though he is a much more accomplished fighter than I ever was, just as I would think of Akbar as clearly senior to me since he was already a duke when I was still dreaming of glory.
