Avacal 12th Night/Investiture 2015 GBMU

[jamesq]

Good:

Did everyone hear the exciting new? We're going to be a Kingdom. I wasn't the hugest supporter of this (though I "voted" yes), but I'm happy that so many of my friends are happy, which is what I wanted.

Flirted with a pretty woman.

Got a few people to try Malört.

Montengarde's first hotel event seems to have been an unqualified success. I hope we do it again.

Quite a few gentles got properly recognized. One deserving fellow got put on vigil for knighthood, and I think it was long past time. He's on my short list for people I'd like to see become Avacal's first King.

Bad:

The indifference of some people has turned to outright snubbing. Alas.

Some people need to realize that it's not all about them. I saw two knights totally upstage some folks who might never be in the spotlight again. I see shit like this all the time. Thankfully, only a handful of knights are responsible for all of the upstaging.

I reminded myself why I don't do Curia anymore. I thought my service burnout was gone, but no, it just needed fanning.

Boundaries folks - they exist for a reason.

Meh:

Probably didn't need to get a room. Still it was nice to have a retreat, even though I didn't end up needing it.

Ugly:

Nothing. No incidents, despite having to be social for about two solid days and ample opportunities for drama.
