[Moo] Moo Digest, Vol 115, Issue 10

[enequy]

To all the good people of this fine Barony.

After a nice long weekend away from computers and the such i come back to
find a lot of chatter about the Baronial awards and the web pages I once had
on line. Well just about the time i lost my web site as Comcast was lost to
Verizon - two things was happening. 1) most of that information i had now
appeared on the Atlantian web page, as defined in an earlier email. And 2)
the general jist of things was that we were not using the 'standard' phrases
for future scrolls any more. So the result of that is that i did not worry
about the lost link to the web pages.

But with the work being done, and i applaud it, I will assist with all my
pages. Not lost, just unused and not put back on line. I just happen to have
a small device that is called removable memory, lol. I will load all my
files for the pages that once was onto this magic stick. This magic stick
will be carried to the Baronial meeting this Wednesday. There are a lot of
files of data and pictures of all the awards that i had captured at that
time. Even with all that information it is not heavy to carry but fits
nicely in my pocket - i said it was magic. Maybe it is a Time Lord device??

At that time there was only one 'approved' text for the awards. But work was
being done to create a number of texts for each. As things changed that died
out. From doing many scrolls myself, I am a firm believer in many scripts of
text for each award. For mix and match of phrases to fit the person and the
space available on the scroll. The more talented word smiths use this for a
guide and build on it for the individual. Good for them, that was not my
talent so i relied on the mix and match method.

By the way the pictures i captured then was from ALL the locations that a
person might have gotten an award. I hope that they can be used also.

Lady Miriel,

I applaud your zeal in stepping up to make a Stierbach Scribal book. Since
you are running an active scriptorium you would see first hand its uses.
This scribal book would be useful to Stierbach scribes, indeed.

The award badge images have become something that over the years that
Enequey's site has been down have been passed by word of mouth, as you
noted. It seems like Master Richard and even Maestra Cassandra are going to
solve that issue for us if supplied the images. Let me know if I should send
them or if you will be sending them.

As I was not a scribe for Earl Mika and Mistress Ursula I can not speak to
how they wanted to have their scroll text written. I was also not a scribe
for Baron Colum and Baroness, now Mistress Briana, though the text on some
of the same scrolls I have that Baron Mors has is different so I'll assume
that they didn't have a standard text that they preferred for use when
scrolls were made for them, maybe Earl Mika and Mistress Ursula did.

Baron Mors and I prefer improvised award text but we understand that new
scribes might feel intimidated in writing award text. I know I was
intimidated when I first started writing them. If there were 3 to 4
different award text examples, that would be nice, just like in the
Atlantian Handbook, as long as the scribes are aware that that text does not
need to be used, that they are just examples and scribes are free to write
their own text. I can look through my scrolls and Baron Mors scrolls for
potential examples.

Thank you for seeing that this task would be beneficial to Stierbach scribes
and taking it on. Your Service to the Barony is always exemplarily.

Baron Mors and Baroness Esperanza
