[Ansteorra] snow man documentation

[Samantha Smith]

We all have different levels of crazy, I have to say. When I was sixteen, I
thought dressing up in armor seemed like good clean fun but having one guy
smash his way through everyone else to become King was a demented way to run
an organization. When I accepted that, I still thought it was way out there
to research medieval garment construction techniques or exactly what was
ground up to make the glazes for painted crockery. I've come around in that
respect, though I still think heavy fighters aren't all there in the head.
;-)

I did once submit (rather accidentally) some poetry for judging in a
competition. I didn't submit any documentation because I really didn't
understand at that time that my submission needed documentation. My scores
weren't terrible, but one judge dropped me points for a structural concern
that, for the type of poem I was writing, was not legitimate. I stared,
fumed briefly, then shrugged and moved on.

We all play different games, and if you think someone's interpretation of
the game you play is ridiculous and unreasonable, you are welcome to ignore
that opinion. I know I am not here to gain your approval (unless I am on
stage; then you'd better like me ;-) ).
