[Ansteorra-rapier] Questions for everyone....

[Sean Hertzberg]

This is a loaded question.  *grin*

In Ansteorra, we now have 76 WS.  Which means that there are 76 different
answers to the question of what a cadet is supposed to be.  That does not
take into account all the different cadets who have their own versions.

This depends on the WS and that particular cadet.

>2) What do you usually look for in someone to tell you that they

see above

>3)  What is expected of one once they become a cadet in order to

Everyone is different.  Somepeople need a LOT of help with fighting, some
need socialization lessons, some people need to simply grow up.

>4)  Is it still possible to become a Don without being someone's
>Cadet first?

Has been done several times in the past.  Most recently, Don Aeron, about 2
1/2 years ago.  I think we now have about 7 WS who were not cadets.

Not a problem.  I know that my answers were a little vague, but the best way
to find out what any WS feels on this subject.  Most are more than willing
to talk.  They usually don't bite...much.  ;)
