Important Updates:
1. Please check the character table in the first post and make sure I have all your characters correctly listed. Names in
green are those whose CS appears to be complete.
2. The RP will start on the day of Anne's coronation, exactly 3 months after Henry's death. Pretty much all the characters could, and most should, attend the ceremony. That'll get everyone together at first for maximum interaction and drama, and then people can disperse to the various castles as they wish. Part of the coronation ceremony requires all peers of the realm to swear their fealty to the queen - "I, N., Duke [Marquess, Earl, Viscount, Baron or Lord] of N., do become your liege man of life and limb, and of earthly worship; and faith and truth will I bear unto you, to live and die, against all manner of folks. So help me God." They do it in groups by level of peerage - i.e. all the Dukes swear together, then all the Marquises, and so on. So theoretically your character could mouth it out without saying it out loud, or something like that. The Royal Family does their vows individually, so it would be very noticeable if they didn't do them... So that we all don't have to read the oath 10 times, we'll skim over it in the Archbishop's post, and you can just include your character's feelings about it in your own post about the whole ceremony.
Therefore, if your noble character will be intentionally skipping the ceremony or somehow noticeably avoiding doing the oath please let me and @AceSorcerer know ahead of time so that our characters can react appropriately.
And if your character plans on disrupting the ceremony in any way, just know that there will be hundreds of guards and knights there and they'll arrest him/her immediately :P [You're still welcome to do it, but it'll, uh, severely limit your character's activities for the rest of the RP]. If anyone wants to make a 1-post NPC who causes some kind of disturbance at the ceremony and then gets thrown into a dungeon, let me know, that could be fun :D
After the ceremony we all go to a banquet, get boisterously drunk, and generally let chaos ensue :D

Votey vote! Does anyone want to create a libertine side-thread to do extra naughty scenes or more fully flesh out those scenes? You can always take it to PM, but if there's enough people who want to we could just make a second lib thread for it.
