[Artemisia] A New Debate - Pay to Play

[Jeff Webster]

I believe that holding an office or fighting, it is important to have a stake in the SCA. I think very strongly about the issue if being a member and holding an office, or fighting. As for awards........rubbish!!  I say it again.......rubbish!!  Awards are given to you by recognition of your accomplishments, hard work and effort. These are recommended by your peers and given by your "royalty" This has nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the "corporate SCA". I think being required to be a card carrying member of the SCA just to get recognition of what you, yourself have given freely is absolute dung.

Of course that is only my opinion,
 I could be wrong

  Subject: [Artemisia] A New Debate - Pay to Play


  Greetings Artemisia,
     
    Here is a topic of discussion I'd like Artemisians to consider and discuss (as rationally as possible please).
     
    The concept of "Pay-to-Play".  This means that you would have to be a member of the SCA (any style of membership allowed) before being allowed to compete, fight, be an officer, vote on any subject, etc.  
     
    How does Artemisia feel about this subject?
     
    Thank you,
    Conrad von Zuberbuhler
