Query: Why is the butler in charge of spoons? response: The Butler is in charge of all the silver and keeps it in a locking chest/closet/something. If we'd had more shiny things (and a sideboard with shelves), you would have dressed the sideboard before the feast and undressed it afterwards.
Query: we couldn't guarantee that people wouldn't freak out about sharing glasses with their neighbor response: That was exactly the reason. I survey'd the idea of glass sharing on my local group email list and it was a no-go. The germ-theory genie is out of the bottle and not going back in.
Query: getting some more [ale] to try? response: I'll bring a 1/2 gallon to Mists Investiture. We've got half a keg left, I think.
