[Ansteorra] Pay-2-play, Pay-2-fight, Pay-2-whatever...

[Richard Threlkeld]

I would argue that the costs for authorization cards (I assume you mean
fighter authorization cards) is borne by the kingdom and the officers who
contribute their time and sometimes money. Paying the BoD for that is hardly
offsetting any of that cost. If you mean authorization to be a non-member,
that seems a bit weird to say the least.
