Opening Ceremonies - signal boost

Their Royal Majesties King Andreas and Queen Gabriella would ask all ^royal^
Peers of the East to accompany them in their procession/march to
opening ceremonies.

We are asking that all of the Viscounts, Counts, Earls, Dukes; armed,
not in armor, with one standard bearer optional, be present if
possible.

The Duchesses, Countesses and Viscountesses can also be in the parade
if they so wish but this is a military parade and will be formed as
such.

Thank you in advance.

(EDIT: Clarified by [livejournal.com profile] mrgrumpybear - this is royal peers, not ALL peers.)

(Perhaps this is my payback for skipping reading the East list for a while. I missed this whole scheme, until it was pointed out to me this morning, though I hear it was announced on the East list. I do not know yet whether it is Their intention to arrange all the peers and royal peers in any order, such as by precedence - I'll find out when I get on site.)

I know exactly what he means by that.

War creates tension in people. Even fake war. Even friendly war.
Asking people to arm.... this is not a feeling that he is doing something wrong in the society. I would not presume.

It's more of a... sociological concern?
I dunno.
I am going to shut up now.

We can take the sociological/socio-political part of this offline, over one of John's excellent drinks, later.

Wow, can I get in on the drinks? I may need to start again.

My friend, I would be more than willing to send mojitos down to Pennsic for you.
It does sound like you might need them.
