[Ansteorra] Registering Achievements in Ansteorra

[ttaggart at ups.com]

I would just like to point out since this discussion seems to have started due to the crest melee that we held, that crests for a melee do not have to be registered to participate, unless noted in the format.
I do not with for any one to be discouraged from participating in any future crest melees that might be held due to their crest not being registered.

Just clarifying,

Hola,

Specifically, the College of Heralds has conflict checked, as long as I remember, just the supporters and crest.  A significant reason is that holders of specific honors are allowed "conflicted" crests and supporters.  Any Lion of Ansteorra is allowed a lion rampant argent or lion rampant ermine as a supporter.  So that conflict check is to ensure that only a Lion of Ansteorra has a white lion supporter.  Any Pelican can have a chapeau or pelican in her piety as a crest, but only a Pelican.

With the broad variety of crests and supporters available, and the fact that we only require one clear difference, I have not considered our process onerous.  There are a few other items that are reserved, but please check the CoH website ( http://herald.ansteorra.org/achievements.php ) for details.

Lastly, registering achievements in Ansteorra is FREE :-)  I also recommend that people give my deputy, Sable Crane Pursuivant, more work.  Send in those registration requests. :-)
