Well, that's a good problem to have...

The slates for the upcoming Baronial election were announced tonight; my initial reaction is that they're all good. None are obviously The One True Person We Must Elect, but none are obviously weak -- each slate has its own distinctive strengths, and I suspect they'd all do a good job. So at this point, I have absolutely no clue who I'm going to vote for when the time comes.

When the modern world is constantly barraging me with lesser-of-two-evils choices, forcing me to hold my nose and vote for the incompetent who isn't actually insane, it's awfully nice for the SCA to present me with a genuinely thoughtful and difficult choice between solid candidates...

ETA: since several folks asked, the slates are (copying and pasting from the Council Minutes, to make sure I get the spelling right):

• Baron Colin Ursell and Maitresse Nicolette Bonhomme


• Baronesse Aurelia Rufinia


• Lady Elana and Lord Dedric

Like I said, all good folks, and I think they'd all probably do a good job...

I strongly suspect she's seen all five, especially if she was at K&Q's Bardic two years ago when Dedric was formally granted visa to stay in Carolingia in Court, but "seen" and "met" are two different things. I've known Nicolette for several years and I'm not sure I've technically met Colin. He's always been busy on Queen's Guard duty when I've seen him at events.
