[MR] Northern Regional Badge Polling

[Joshua Thomas]

I would like to take the opposing veiw point of Lord Sean. What you
suggest Sean is a good short term solution. Lets say we fly something
that ends up being someone device and they find out about it. Maybe
the reaction might be amused or maybe it will be anger. In either
light Atlantia comes off looking like a Kingdom that didn't take the
steps to keep this from happening. Enter the Heraldric Registration
process. All we do buy formally registering them is garentee we do not
run into such problems in the past. My question to you is aptly, "Why
not register the badges?"  -and- "What harm do you see from formally
doing so?"

In the end I think it would be delightful to see them in use. If
anything it will help the units be more organized especially at war
time where you may not know exactly where you need to be amoung the
crowded masses.

Regards to a worthy debtae,
Tristand de Brailes
