[Artemisia] A New Debate - Pay to Play

[rayzentz at aim.com]

I agree with Ulrich, with the exception of peerage level awards.  If a non-member gives enough of their time and talent to be recognized by their fellows, then of course recognition is good.   Awards recognized by the SCA itself are qiute another matter, however.   Incidentally, my friend, I am still practicing on the electronic pipes, and thoroughly enjoying myself, and annoying the neighbors.   We just moved, so now I have new neighbors to annoy.

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

  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
