I think you can get my information out of the CP, Aliskye.  And I think if we're
going to make any changes to the website that should be discussed first between
you and me.

BTW, I had the scrolls approved/disapproved by Jean Marie yesterday at the
Heraldry meeting and just a couple of reminders for y'all:

1) Please remember to leave space for the Crown's signatures (and Crescent's
when applicable, i.e. any armigerous scroll).  Keep in mind that most of these
people aren't calligraphers and they need a line drawn in for them, or god knows
what will happen when they go to sign it.

2) Also, even if a scroll is not armigerous (such as a Harp, Dolphin, etc.), if
you put the arms on it, prominently displayed, you *must* include the blazon on
the scroll.  It doesn't necessarily need to be part of the text, but it must be
included.  For example, you could put a separate paragraph saying "So also does
Crescent Herald affirm that the arms depicted, blazoned "XXXXX" are true and
correct."  Crescent has to sign these in this case.  Likewise, if you include
the blazon in the text, the arms must be depicted in the margin.

3) SIGN YOUR WORK.  Even if it's on the back.  I have a couple of scrolls that
need fixes and I have no clue who did them, so I'm going to fix them myself.

4) If you aren't leaving room for seals on the scroll itself, please indicate on
the back that you'd like pendant seals.  Keep in mind that pendant seals are
hard to get framed, and they're pretty fragile, so you might want to confer with
the scroll recipient *first* before doing a design that required pendant seals.
In a couple of cases, I'm guessing where the seals need to be.

On that note, if anyone knows how to get in touch with Demitri, he handed in a
scroll at Crown Tourney and I need him to add the blazon (or give me permission
to write it in for him) so that it can go out this reign.  This was a lovely
scroll but a prime example of #2, as the arms occupy the entire center of a
Duellist scroll.

I'll be getting in touch about the others tonight, most likely.  I don't have
the list here.
