ANST - Nobility/Heraldry

[John F. Hirling]

The scroll for an AoA reads,  . . . in recognition of diverse efforts to 
enrich our realm . . .
There are many activities which, in my opinion, merit such recognition: 
participation in demos, helping with events, participation in competitions, 
working with newcomers, helping teach, the list goes on and on.
There are some things which can make it more difficult for one to be 
"recognized."  Chief among those is non-continuous playing or playing on 
the fringe.  Thus, a person in the SCA may have been "around" for a long 
time and not receive any recognition, even though the totality of their 
efforts have "enriched the realm."
Finally, some person or persons must recommend you for such recognition, or 
you must have somehow come to the attention of the a crown that decides to 
award an AoA sua sponte.

Your question does not strike me as naive.  As with all knowledge, we're 
ignorant til we learn.
