[Ansteorra] Newbie Status

[willowdewisp at juno.com]

i know I would have refused wear any kind of marking. Reminds of the Star the Jews were forced to wear in Germany.  
I don't believe it would work. I took a new person around at one SCA event and tried to get her information. I didn't have the information.  The group's Hostipaler wasn't there. Everyone I took her to referred her back to the Hospitaler who she hadn't be able to get in touch with. 
They were friendly enough until I said she was new then it was like "we can''t talk to a newcomer what if we tell her something wrong." I really think if we had pretended she was a person with some time in the SCA but new to the area we would of gotten more help. 
It is like people are really uncomfortable about talking to new people. Maybe we need to give classes on what to tell new people. We used to assume that we all were recuiting people and needed to able to tell them things and it was OK to step into that role.
