Who's In Charge Here, Anyway?

I'm feeling a bit rant-y. More incendiary material is heavily filtered. ;-)

So, we've discussed a bit about what constitutes expectations of Royalty. Much of which was (interestingly) phrased in the form of what they should NOT be doing.

Which brings us to - what happens if they are? Whose job is it to say "Your Majesty, you're being an a**hole"? And when does it need saying?

What is the average SCAdian to do? Do you just hunker down for 6 months and hope the next reign is better? Or speak up?

Would you, and how would you, address:

1. Routine lateness to events and insistence on holding things up until Their arrival.

2. Hanging out in the Royalty Room with Their own Peeps and not Sitting in State or otherwise making themselves available to the populace

3. Screwing up the entire event schedule, causing feast to be held (or ruined!), to make time for the aforementioned hanging out, or off site trips for various reasons, or other shenanigans

4. Disregarding all other activities but their own interests

5. Rare attendance at events at all or rarely leaving their own local area

6. Public dressing down of event staff for perceived flaws in the event

7. Extreme nepotism - friends/family/household members put into authority positions they're clearly not suited for

8. Demands of donations/services/special treatment above and beyond what would normally be expected (You have to comp all of our staff, We need crash space for 25 people, everybody needs to bring as X yds of silk cloth for our Coronation garb, etc.)

Some things may have sounded like a good idea at the time, but turned out to be a powder keg. But others are just plain self-centered, power mad insanity.

Add your own Royal Foible, if you're inclined, and speak to how you would address it
