[MR] Promissories

[Sandra Rangel]

Okay I can understand the "mushroom scribe" situaution... however here
are my thoughts at combating that. I do somewhat agree with
promissories for AoA level awards when the award recipient does not
have registered name and arms.

1) Scroll Blank - Defined as: It includes the bulk of the calligraphy
but with spaces, not just one or the other. Spaces would for Crown
names, recipient name, date and event name... it may or may not
include a blank shield and Triton confirmation...
1.a) Some scribes are exclusive to one discipline or the other;
calligraphy or illuminating..for example, if scrolls are just
illumination they can be given to scribes who wish to do just
calligraphy or vice versa. This would elliminate the need to create an
angry horde of "mushroom scribes" at events. It would take
coordination but I know it has and can be done once a system is in
place. Hence the need for a Scribe's Point.
2.a) Conditions for awards at higher than AoA levels... No scroll
blank peerage scrolls: Personally I think it should be a "crime" to
let a peerage scroll be awarded from a scroll blank. There are a few
people who can do GoA level work for a scroll blank but it would be at
a Signet's or Crown's discretion to use one for that purpose.

2) Scribe's Point - This would help with coordinating scribal efforts
& talents across the Kingdom which is a designated location
(preferably with ample space) at Kingdom level or large events.
2.b) This could also provide an oppourtunity for individuals who are
interested in scribing to see what its all about. Recruitment! As well
as provide oppourtunities for scribal classes. Continue interest!
c) Because the scrolls will be left with spaces it would not be
imperative if a scroll made it to a specific event or not or timed
when an awardee was in attendance. If scribe wants to do more
"personalized" work then it would be recommended to request
assignments from the backlog- as it is easier to achieve without
things getting complicated.
d) This would also allow scribes who cannot attend many events to have
a proxy to pick up or drop off scroll assignments. Artwork moving is a
good thing and it would almost elliminate the "mushroom scribe" ...
instead of taking an entire event to do three scrolls it would take
maybe 30 minutes tops to scribble in name and dates for three scrolls.

Maybe then it would more hive like instead of a room full of fungus-
everyone working together for one purpose without a lonely few taking
the whole load.

Thoughts, concerns, better ideas??
