[Steppes] FW: The Future

Wed Jan 9 13:54:47 PST 2008

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

Okay, enough of the odd little snippets, hints, and tidbits.  Unless
someone is willing to gut-up and put the whole story out there, and I
mean the straight poop - the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth - can we please keep this crap off the list?

In terms of Peers...from Corpora...

VIII. PERSONAL AWARDS AND TITLES

A. Patents Of Arms

1. General Requirements:

Candidates for any order conferring a Patent of Arms must meet the
following

minimum criteria. Additional requirements may be set by law and custom
of

the kingdoms as deemed appropriate and necessary by the Crown.

. They shall have been obedient to the governing documents of the
Society

and the laws of the kingdom.

. They shall have consistently shown respect for the Crown of the
kingdom.

. They shall have set an example of courteous and noble behavior
suitable to

a peer of the realm.

. They shall have demonstrated support for the aims and ideals of the

Society by being as authentic in dress, equipment and behavior as is
within

their power.

. They shall have shared their knowledge and skills with others.

. They shall have practiced hospitality according to their means and as

appropriate to the circumstances.

One can disagree and call the Crown out for not agreeing with them, but
the

key is to be courteous and show at least modicum of respect.  

In fact doesn't everyone want the same thing.  To be treated with
courtesy

and with a touch respect.  Common courtesy.

As I have said before, during my time as Kingdom Seneschal the West had

major issues.  They were warned numerous times by Nobles and Peers who

traveled to the west.  They were warned numerous times by the
appropriate

chain of command (the Seneschallate) including the Regional Seneschal
who

even went as far as addressing the issue at multiple occasions at
Crescent

Wrench, the West's regional Red Tape.

A thought dawns on me. I fear that were so many come-to-Jesus talks with
no

resulting suspensions and dissolutions that in large over the years
folks

became desensitized to living in the danger zone.

It is sad.  But it may be time to look to the future.  What do I tell
folks

who want to grow the SCA in a geographic area; form a nexus from which
to

constitute a thriving group with energized members which is full of
officer

candidates with the passion for the SCA.  Recruit at Colleges and paper
the

city with approved SCA flyers of the type the Kingdom Hospitaler can
share.

Modius, Lion

Kingdom Seneschal (Retired)

the Western region.>>>

Your Grace Duchess Willow de Wisp,

Your words and what You risk to voice them humble me. We in the Western

region have struggled for many years to overcome the "redheaded
stepchild"

stigma 

we seem to have in regard to the rest of the Kingdom.  To have the utter

support and love from the very first Queen of Ansteorra  amazes me. I
don't

know 

what the outcome will be but I can assure You that  we the Western
Region

will 

NOT go away, quietly into the night.

In Your Service,

Mistress Anna Mitrofanova

 Baroness Bonwicke

**************Start the year off right.  Easy ways to stay in shape.
