SCA rapier stuff
Jan. 19th, 2015 08:42 amGentle readers,
The SCA voted on the 4th peerage proposal on Saturday. The proposal was voted down. I'm not sure what this means for the 4th peerage. After the vote, the bod pointed out that given the current wording, there is nothing preventing a knighthood being given for other martial activities.
So, it sounds like the 4th peerage is dead. I think that given the award structure in Ealdormere, it makes sense although I don't know how that would work in other kingdoms. There also needs to be a king willing to do it.
Because I know that there will be a lot of disappointing opinions about this, I'm off Facebook for the next week or so. Well, that and the fact that there have been a bunch of gun control posts that made me sad. So maybe more posting here as a result. I think breaking the Facebook habit will be a good thing.
On the plus side, I don't have to worry about making one of those fancy collars.
Added:
So, I was dumb and read a comment in my email from Facebook and now I'm all cranky but it did encourage me to set the thread to autodelete. Stupid.
