Agincourt Thank Yous

So, after a 15 year hiatus from autocratting I had the privilege and honor of co-autocratting my favorite event. I was blessed with competent, skillful people who were kind enough to share their time and abilities with all of us. The weather even (mostly) cooperated. Baroness Constance was the best co-autocrat that one could have, particularly as my mundane job began demanding more and more of my time the closer we got to the event. I was so happy to have her there and don’t have enough ways to express just how thankful I am for you. I can’t wait to see what we do next year.

Thank you to Baron Liam for not only creating an amazing feast, but for mentoring and guiding Lady Alethea so that she was so successful with her lunch. One of those things can be overwhelming, both of those things is a *lot* of work. You both were amazing.

I also want to thank Lady Arthes for running Troll so efficiently and well; Lord Alister for taking care of the Royalty and all of the other things that you did for us all weekend; Lady Vika for being our MoL and keeping things running on the field; Baroness Soteria for running Thrown Weapons; Lord Yoshi and Lady Katheryn for running the Archery range; Lord Mathias for organizing fencing; Earl Byron and Countess Ariella for coordinating the Heavy Weapons scenarios; Mistress Lucetta and Lady Eilionora for their strong work with the A&S Competition, particularly the martial portion (which was fun and I would love to see more of); Lord Ronan for coordinating the Heralds for the day; Lady Nicola for scheduling the classes; Mistress Ts’vee’a for her inspired Quest.

If there is someone that I have missed, it is entire due to sleep deprivation and forgetfulness. Your contribution is just as appreciated and I am just as thankful for your work and efforts.

I am so very grateful for the time, energy, thought, and love that was put in by each person that helped make this event as fun as it was. Thank you to everyone that attended – we love seeing you and can’t wait to see you again next year.

Again, thank you all for making Agincourt such a fun event.

Best regards,

Odriana, co-autocrat
