[Ansteorra] tagging newcomers

[Rose]

I also love that idea, especially the idea of a diamond, since every newcomer is a potential 'diamond in the rough'. White sashes would be easy to make and inexpensive, even if none of them ever came back. I can totally see a stack of sashes and safety pins at the troll, and I can also see someone in a sash coming over to a class or court or any kind of activity, and someone sitting next to them knowing that they might find some extra guidance useful. Even at a class or a fighter practice (like our big regional ones), looking and knowing that some people in your class are very new would be helpful.

I'd be happy to help make a pile of sashes if the Kingdom decided to go in that direction.

I love that idea! that's great! Being able to write with a sharpie or some other fabric made pen that would 'stay' if you will.

Again, black, a diamond? two diamonds? the ansteorrean star (though that is a bit more complicated to reproduce on a large scale - yeah, I know it's a mullet, but that was such another discussion).
