[March 28]: I htmlified Eowyn's redacted notes from the candidates' questions evening. I didn't make up a hyperlinked index or otherwise split up the responses, since the questions lead into each other a lot, but I can try to do that if there's interest.

[March 11]: We have questions and answers! Thank you, Pandaulf.

[March 8]: The page is up! All I have so far is resumes-- get your questions to the candidates!

Notes from the Candidates' Question Evening, hosted by Eowyn of Alewife Brook. These responses have not been added to the regular index, at Eowyn's request, because they are not the candidates' precise words-- they are interpretations of what the canidates said.

On Being Seneschal
• Why do you want the job?
• What strenghts do you feel you bring to the job?
• What aspect of the job do you anticipate being hardest for you? How do you plan to compensate for this?
• What current responsibilities in the SCA (if any) do you anticipate giving up if elected?
• What is your current estimate of how long you intend to hold the position if elected?
• Name (at least) one thing that bugs the $%^&* out of you about the way Carolingia, the East, or the Society operates ... that you're going to sit on the impulse to do something about while you're in office.
The Candidates' Agendas
• What is your feelings on the current scheduling system?
• Do you beleive the current length of Council meetings is too long, too short, or about right? Why?
• Describe your interpretation of the charter stating that the Senechal consults with Council.
• Do you think there is any activity, borough, or household in Carolingia that currently requires extra attention or support from the Senechal?
Opinions on the SCA
• What would you have done if you were Senechal during the Pay to Play bod crisis? Are your personal feelings different that how you would act as an elected Senechal?
• What were your personal feelings about the singing of the Star Spangled Banner during Court at Legends this year? How as Senechal would you have responded (if at all)?
• Do you see the boroughs as having a different role than other components of Carolingia because the borough members tend to be younger, newer, and have higher turn over?
