[Archers] an idea

Tue Apr 19 20:28:30 PDT 2011

Go ahead and send it to me please. It won't take all that much to
digitize it, and colors can be adjusted on the machines if there is a
change. Two color line drawing, with no fill if possible, and as hi
res as you can make it. I'll create a 4x4 and 5x7 sized .PES file, and
can export to other formats if desired.

>From the input I've gotten from the Herald's list, Kingdom will have
to be the one to register the badge, then make it available for use by
any archer. I'd like to get one embroidered onto a favor and take it
to Crown so I can talk to TRM's about it so they can see what I'm
talking about. Or I can give it to somebody more...known as an archer
to present the idea/request to Them if they are going to be at Crown.

Personally, I think the favor I make for myself will have my rank on
it above the spike - just because. Yes, I know that I would have to
remake it if I achieved greater rank, but I could then pass it along
to the next person if they wanted it.

The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to somebody
else. The only real nobility is in being superior to your former self.
