[Artemisia] Re: thought for discussion-

[Morgan Wolf]

COOOL!!!!

This is EXACTLY what I wanted to start.

Sir Gregory, since my list was taken from my rather poor memory of the same
list you and I discussed a couple of years ago {your Chretien de Troye
list}, I defer to higher authority.

Mu'amillah Yasmeena, if you would be willing, I would table discussion of
your point until we get past the first five, with the option of discussing
how it fits into, or if it is part of, them.

Godwin, your point brings up the ever-popular "if you think you deserve it,
you probably don't" issue, I'd like to steer away from discussing it in
first-person and lean heavily towards third-person [he/she deserves it
because...]

Sir Conrad- two points
1]  HOW YA DOIN' BUDDY!?!?!?  No see long time.
2]  I agree that Prowess should not be the only consideration for Peerage,
but Michael may have a point that it should be the first.

Now the corollary to the Prowess question- how many "really good" does it
take to equal a "mastery", i.e. how many tourney quarterfinals equal winning
one Crown, how many good A&S entries equal a masterpiece, etc.?
