This will be a good reminder and also for those who have never filled out a poll on what to expect. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>First, this is NOT a “vote”. We are not voting on one set of candidates over the other. What we are doing is rating each set of candidates (and you rate them as a pair, not individuals). There will be a scale of 1-5 for each set and you select how well you think they will do. You can even select the same rating for both sets if you think they would both do the same level. The second part is filling in your opinion about each set of candidates. This is YOUR OPPOURTUNITY to tell the crown what you think about each couple and how you think they will do as Baron/Baroness of Cynnabar. You can let them know what you think their strengths are (and weaknesses). But please, as always, but polite and respectful when doing so. If you have bad penmanship (or if like me, it’s just easier to type) you can type/print out your writings and attach it to the poll. You don’t have to only use the paper sent with the poll. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Please be assured that everyone’s opinion/poll WILL be read by the Crown. They do not know our candidates as well as we do and this is how they will be making the best informed decision they can. SO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…FILL OUT YOUR POLL AND RETURN IT!!!!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The process of determining our next Baron and Baroness is one of the most important things we can do for the Barony.
