Randall's Challenge in Knightood discussion

[uuriel]

Randall challenged me to list the problems with knighthood and look for a comprehensive solution. Well I am willing to consider that route although I am not willing to get bogged down in it and end up not doing anything. On that basis I will split this post between Randall’s challenge and revisions to my proposal of two days ago.

I think the problem is that people have too much emotional baggage wrapped up in the word Knight. There isn't a problem with Amtgard Knighthood. It is what it is, but rather than accept the realty that Knighthood in our game some people insist on tying the romantic element of chivalry to it. Guess what guys, one has nothing to do with the other. Knights are players just like everyone else and are to be respected or reviled on a case by case basis. Trying to effectively legislate behavior is both pointless and frankly insulting. You don't like a given knight, then all you have to do is ostracism them. Its that simple. Frankly this topic sickens me, all the more so because it might just pass some bull shit IK rules committee. I liked Amtgard alot more when individual kingdoms decided for themselves how they wanted their chapter to be run.
