All the images from the Barony of Tir Ysgithr Investiture are now in the OP.  Check out the images above this message to see the 40 latest images.

 

I have made a couple of new features that are visible this weekend.  You can now recommend someone for an award, right from their OP record. Look for the link below the picture on the right side of the screen. 

I have re-ordered the pictures above this announcement so that the newest are displayed first.  Also pictures will show people's titles if they are entered into the database.  Each person must submit what they go by.  (ie, Lord, Lady, Master, Sir, Dame, Mistress... compound titles (Baron Sir, Duchess Dame) will be rejected.)

 

Greetings,

I have changed the module above to just show some (25) of the latest pictures added to the OP.  Having the 600+ pics being loaded on every page was a bit expensive in terms of the size of this page and its load time.

I have module that loads the pics of just about everyone to the Awards Reccomendation Page.

Look for more picture modules soon, including heraldry.

I'm always open to suggestions, so send them my way.

This is a reminder to everyone who plans to enter Crown. Please check your precedence record and notify me of any updates that need to be made. Remember that requests to add missing awards need to be accompanied by a copy of your scroll. This may be sent via e-mail so long as the full text of the scroll is legible. All requests for updates for crown need to be sent no later than 2 weeks before the event to ensure they are completed in a timely manner.

 

All court reports, except those from Estrella War, that have been received by the Abacus office have been entered into the OP. All requests for updates have been completed as well or requestors notified that more information is needed. Please review the guidelines for requesting updates before submitting your request.

 

An update to the software has been made that helps you find awards that are common to multiple kingdoms.  Duchies, Counties, Viscounties, Peerages, Award of Arms awards all qualify for this.  If a person was given this award in another Kingdom but lives here now, it will be easier to see them in the award list.  

Many photos of various members have been added, poke around and find out who.

... for the Barons & Baronesses of Mons Tonitrus & Ered Sul, as well as arms that Countess Ismenia had corrected for several peers.

-Bertana 

Thanks to Countess Ismenia and Lady Isabelle, almost all the peers have arms now in the OP.  People with an Arms display in the record will have a little icon . Have fun looking at arms. There will be a quiz later. -Godfrey 

 

Greetings,
Currently the Herald's office is working to standardize how held offices appear in a person's record in the Order of Precedence. While this is happening we have hidden the display of those offices within the OP pages. Be assured that we are still recording the history of your offices held. All requests to add an office to a person's Precedence record need to be accompanied by a copy of a signed warrant for the position or a letter from the Officer who warranted you for the position attesting who held the role and the start and end dates for the office term.

From the President's Oct 2007 report

Publishable Summary: Persona Theft and False Awards and Honors. I find myself compelled to use this space to speak to the membership about a fairly rare problem that has tripled in quantity and directly detracts from the inherent value of the entire system of Theatrical reenactment and recognition of excellence that flavor so much of the Society. I refer here to the growing number of cases where we find someone either claiming to be possessed of the titles of a peer/noble/notable person-or outright stealing/borrowing the persona and titles of a person who labored long and hard for the honors and reputation being so casually nicked.
No sense of fame or positive regard is worth the ignominious and final demise that awaits the SCA career of anyone we catch doing this. And they are always caught. I do not write of this problem and ask the membership to teach our new folk the value of earning honors as opposed to sneakily claiming them because I worry the perpetrators will get away with the caper. They will not. I worry about the disheartening impact on the members and participants who work with good souls, a sound conscience, and can lose faith in what we are and seek to do when they encounter such crass thievery. This growing problem will be stemmed by the swift and final treatment of those caught in the act of persona theft/false honors-that is *my* job and I am all over it. It will also be eased by teaching our new folk what the path to recognition is and encouraging them to walk upon it.

All awards from the final court of Eduard III and Asa III have been entered into the Order of Precedence.
