Fwd: [MR] Northern Regional Badge Polling

[Joshua Thomas]

To my accomplished juggling and dancing friend, Domenico:

A case in point:
Azure and Argent checky.

Commonly associated with Moose Lodge and meaning 'no' in the navy flag
system. Although this might be good if the region represented by it
was all or largely Lodge it shows how your simple solution is easily
compromised. I am not sure we can equal the precision of making a
unique identifier any other way except through the worthy College of
Heralds.

The registration system is fairly easy and inexpensive to get moving,
so I see no reason why registered badges are bad thing. If we go to
all the trouble, time and money of making the banners out of silk as
you suggest shouldn't we first check whether we are not flying Master
Sir Duke of the West's device who may be a bit confused/amused about
our lack of planning as we run across the field towards his matching
banners? I not sure how much of stretch this would be if the majority
of kingdoms go to similar systems.
