[Ansteorra] Voluntary tagging

[Charlie Durbin]

That was sorta my thinking, guess it was more in the token line though
because I would never consider giving the actual badge of the office out to
newcomers.

I was just thinking some small medallion of leather about the size of a
quarter with a key just stamped on it, no colors associated with it, just
stamped in as a token  ... but on that thought, I once bought a 5 gallon
bucket full of skeleton keys at an antique warehouse for like 10 dollars and
there musta been a thousand old keys in it ... so just another idea there...

It's a way to associate a symbol with something already in place.

I agree. Maybe a symbol that incorporates a key on it, though.

Too bad we didn't set up the Hospitaler's symbol to be a *ring of  
keys*! Then giving each newcomer a key would work.

It's a lot easier to be a herder of keys than a herder of cats! :-)
