[Ansteorra] Love and recognition

[Samuel Hudson]

My take: Being new to the sca, yet coming from amtgard, which has a 
similar structure for awarding accomplishments.  On the way to any 
structured award in this game, there will be goals that have to be 
accomplished, quotas to be filled.  Surely if you were to ask a knight 
what tasks must be completed to become a knight, it would involve 
achieving a certain level of competancy on the lists and battlefield, 
impressing the populace with your actions on and off the list, earn the 
respect of your peers, and "the peers".  Oh yeah, and more, surely some 
undefineable quality will be brought up that adds a touch of mystique.

Perhaps, like in amtgard, you can put a more specific definition to some 
of these factors, perhaps not.  Maybe its win crown, run the field at a 
melee, I do not know.  In amtgard the peerage system has ladder awards 
for all types of accomplishments.  Some people play for the cookies, 
some not, but all that wish to accomplish a goal must achieve a bare 
minimum plus the respect of their peers.

Thanks for taking the time to read.
