Mooneschadowe's Timing for Triumphe Planning/Preparation
From Ansteorra History Wiki
January Officer's:
- Announce that Autocrat and Feast Steward bids are due at March Officer's
- Discuss who might be available?
- Accept bids as they come in, and do NOT tell the offering party that it's officially theirs
Feburary Populace:
- Announce that Autocrat and Feast Steward bids are due at March Officer's
February Officer's:
March Populace:
- Remind Populace that bids are due at the end of this month.
March Officer's:
- Discuss single bids that have come in.
If competing bids come in:
- Have the parties present their case
- Ask both parties if they would work with the other if they are not chosen
- Ask both parties to wait outside of earshot (and eyesight, too, if possible) while the officer's discuss candidly (not hatefully, but a solid concensus MUST be reached).
Note: It's a good idea to get highly-biased "champions" to wait with their parties.
April Populace:
- Announce the awarding of the bids and ask people to assist these parties!
