ANST - A&S Etiquette

[James Crouchet]

First find out if it is a display or a judged competition. If you 
cannot find out, do not sample. If it is a display, sample; that is 
what it is there for. If it is a competition, let the judges go 
first, then you may sample.

This also applies to touching or picking up non-food items, as you 
would not want to disturb the layout of the display before the 
judging. Even so, use good judgment in what you do or do not touch. 
No one wants rusty fingerprints on their fine weapons and some items 
are too delicate to handle.

This is perhaps obvious, but never walk away with anything from an 
A&S display. I remember a panic that occurred once when a fighter 
took a very fine weapon to where the tourney was going on. He only 
wanted to show his friends how skilled the craftsman was and he 
promptly returned the knife, but not before a very agitated artist 
noticed it missing.

Ultimately, if you are not sure you can always hunt down the owner and 
ask them.
