[Artemisia] Peer qualities (was: thought for discussion)

[Ellen Stavash]

I agree that many Peers do go on to receive other awards.  This is why I said "possibly", instead of "probably" or "certainly".  However, the experience for most Peers is that the frequency of receiving awards drops dramatically after being recognized with a Peerage. (For example, I spoke to someone recently who became a Laurel before I started playing, and she's never received a Kingdom-level Arts award. Peerages are Society-level, not Kingdom, by the way.) I don't see this dropoff as a problem, though.  I think it's appropriate for Peers to step back and help allow others to shine.  As far as mastering new skills, it is neither easier nor harder for me to master a new skill than it was before I became a Laurel.  The only difference is that as a Laurel, growing and developing my skills is part of my job, and I don't expect to be constantly getting new cookies simply for doing what I swore to do when I was elevated.

I've met many individuals with multiple peerages and also of several peers that have recieved Grant level awards AFTER they have recieved their peerage too.  I personally think recieving a Grant Level award or another Peerage after becoming a peer may be easier because all you do is need to master a new skill.
