...because I can...
Jul. 29th, 2006 09:08 amI'm reading the President's report of the most recent meeting of the SCA Board of Directors.
The Laurel Queen of Arms had one item to bring to the attention of the board:
Ms. Mohr commended Tanzos Istvan (Lewis Tanzos), Blue Tyger Herald, East Kingdom for his work on the OSCAR system.
That would be![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fosveny who was singled out for notice...
Yes,fosveny, you are SO scrod... :)
Hmmm.... continuing onward through the minutes, I see where the Society Chirurgeon General presented a new slate of titles for the ranks. The board adopted a new set that are supposed to be reflected in paperwork by October.
Chirurgeon-in-training
Chirurgeon
Mentor Chirurgeon
No more "Master"...
...and in other "interesting" items, I wonder what Pieter and Nan Astrid did to get Exiled From The (Mid)Realm (and Investigated).
The king of An Tir last Pennsic happened to be a resident of the West Kingdom. The previous king had permitted him to fight in Crown (for a five-time queen of An Tir).
Recently, a people from An Tir petitioned the BoD to change Corpora to require that the King and Queen be resident in the kingdom they rule over. The board declined to act on that petition, without even laying it before the SCA for comment. I first heard about this in an article at SCA Today (http://scatoday.net/node/6794). Some of the comments cited in that article were quaint and picturesque. Duke Skeggi, the King who allowed Uther to enter Crown, sounded particularly puffed up, claiming "A select few have taken it upon themselves to decide that the king’s word is not law within the lands of An Tir..." and went on to claim that people who want to change the way the game is played should become King to do that. How convenient to implicitly dismiss the validity of petitioning the board (which, by implication, should have no business telling the Crown what they may and may not do, I guess). Most of the comments came across to me as reasoned viewpoints, and they were not unanimous on the issue.
I guess they needed to give one of the principals a voice, and he felt the need to bloviate.
Heraldic stuff
