ANST - Better Bannering

[Chiang]

I seem to remember using a banner pole to fend off some people at a small
melee a few years ago. Of course we were stealing it from a few Outlanders
at the time. They thought that just because it was their colors and we took
it from one their dead people, it was theirs. You'll have to ask Finnagain
about it. He tells a lovely story about it.
