Well its official now, announced in court, so I'll make a post here. I am acting Crux, hopefully for just a few weeks until 12th Night. Will be managing the search for the next Crux. I hope it's not a poisoned chalice

I'm fairly sure there are no cases of heraldic tinctures in Order names, as we thrashed out in great detail. The relevant quote allows for "Orders named for heraldic charges or for items that, while not found in period as heraldic charges, may be used as heraldic charges. [...] These names may contain the ordinary color names of any heraldic tincture." So: royalty not quite listening to heralds' advice before announcing something; not exactly a riveting newsflash, that. What the hell; we'll cope

Well, congratulations on the Golden Tear for that is well deserved.

PS: Did you get the cheques?

Hurrah! Congrats on the award, and on the new position; I hope it goes smoothly.

Congrats (or is that commiserations?) on the position - many hugs for the way things happened (no I don't know the particulars, but I can guess)

Why the requirement for the tincture to be in English? If we were in France (or pretending to be), would french be acceptable?

[eleyne_de_c]

Because English order names had English colour words in them. If we wanted to register a French order name then we would use French words, but we would need to translate Pegasus and Wyvern as well, and it's worth noting that gules isn't French for red either.
