Fleur-de- not a lobster

[alysten]

Ok... so I have these arms.  Alys helped me with them. They are very nice arms...but they are boring.  Young SCAdian, probably should have listened to the wise herald when she said wait a little before doing a device. Did I listen... not so much.  But hey, I got a cool name out of the deal.

I know that if I go with a new devise I would need to release the ones I currently have. I really like my badges.  They truly reflect me and they are puny: swords skewering a crow, a pair of nom-nuts and a cannon with a spool of thread. I want to design something that is more, me. Something equally punny, and fun and that reflects my "personality".

Now if I was listening to the heralds correctly this weekend, pink is not a valid color, but red is.  I can't do fleur-de-bugs, but I could do fleur-de-lys (officially) and then get "creative" (unofficially).  And using "Fleur-de-lys (gold fleur-de-lys on blue fields) - The use of three, or a semy of, gold fleur-de-lys on anything blue is so strongly associated with the Royalty of France that their use in SCA arms is considered presumptuous." So... as long as Im not using gold or blue, then I should be ok.

I love the colors, red and black being my favorites and the shield with the stripe that goes sinister (?) diagonally(?). 

Here is one idea we were throwing around earlier today. (yes the pot would be more medieval, it's just a concept)



Any other suggestions?

I'll have to double check the rules, but I don't think I've ever seen anything that says you have to release your other devices or badges to get a new one.

Also, I should have another badge for you next time I see you, I noticed the one I made for you at RAV got wet and ran. Next version I think I'll give a layer of clear tape too to waterproof it a bit.

There's a maximum limit on the number of registered pieces of armory one can have. If Alesone is at the limit, she'll have to release one to register any more.

Also, one can only have one set of registered arms. Everything else is a badge.

Ah, good to know.

I have 3 badges, and 1 device. I'm not at the limit, yet. But this would be a new device, so I would have to release the current one. Thank you so much for the links. It makes a bunch more sense now why we constructed my current device the way we did.

You could decide to make a badge of the current one rather than release it. You don't _have to_ release it :)

Can I do that?

[math5.livejournal.com]

Yes you can :)
Isn't it cool?
