[MR] Atlantia Digest, Vol 102, Issue 66

sorry, i wasnt talking about combat but "every little interest" in general.
personally i sort of support rapier combat having its own peerage (which it
sort of does, the white scarf) or being included with the chivalry.  again,
sorry if i was unclear.

regards
logan

would be a fifth peerage since royal title is considered a peerage and,
hence, already a fourth peerage.

an additional peerage for activities that are already covered by the three,
non-royal, peerages.  there never has been support for watering the peerages
down to every little interest but every five years or so a few folks start
rattling their sabers that we go through it again.

I still don't understand why the idea of extending peerage to combatants who
don't fight heavy would be considered "watering down"
the peerages.  An artisan can achieve Laurel in any branch of arts or
science.  A volunteer can become a Pelican through dedicated service of any
type.  Those peerages *already* extend to "every little interest."  Why is
combat the exception?

I just want to understand the mindset here.  I realize that arguing the
point is futile.
