Mooneschadowe's Timing for Triumphe Planning/Preparation
From Ansteorra History Wiki
This is a timeline for the aid of Seneschals and Stewards for Triumphe. These timings may be adjusted for other events.
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
February Populace
- Announce that Autocrat and Feast Steward bids are due at March Officer's
February Officer's
- Remind Officers that bids are due at the end of next month.
- Solicit feedback re: if anyone's working in that direction.
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" of the bidders to wait with their parties.
April Populace
- Announce the awarding of the bids and ask people to assist these parties!
Late-Awarded Bids
Sometimes bids aren't ready in time, or potential stewards require a bit more coaxing. But:
- Autocrats MUST be picked by April in order to have time to get announcements and ads in place.
- Feast Stewards MUST be in place by June Officer's.
May
- Who's doing things? You have a minute or two to sit still and think.
- Be advised that college students may not be at all interested in making a commitment at this time. And that's the right answer!
June
- Event ads going in newsletters in August are due at the end of this month.
