No, there was *NO* commenting previous to this. It was presented to us as a fait accompli. Nice of them to make a decision that involves 18,000 people (10,000 scadians, 8,000 townsfolk) without bothering to consult any of them. -- Dagonell
Actually, there was a rumor going around at War Practice about it, with the authenticity of Fast Eddie's name attached to it.
There were two different announcements to the AE list about it, both forwarded from other lists. One had somewhat more information than the other and seemed to indicate that it had been discussed extensively by the Pennsic Committee over the course of several months, as well as with the Crowns and Seneschals of a large number of Kingdoms. But no, it was not disseminated to the populace until it was a done deal.
OTOH, when you come right down to it, if the Coopers want it and the Seneschals, Crowns and Autocrats support it, then what the rest of us think it really somewhat irrelevant.
