Talk:Royal Recognition of Excellence

Lachlan, Malcolm added the line about putting RRE after ones name... Do we do that? I've never seen that in any of the law documents. Is it a herald thing? Curiosity killing the cat --Kolfinna 17:25, 8 March 2009 (PDT)

I've seen it a couple of times, but it's pretty unusual. Twenty plus years ago, it was the practice (whenever one sent a letter on paper) to append initials for awards and honors; ODC OHA was a pretty common tag. Not so much anymore.

• The practice of appending award initials to one's SCA name is related to the current practice in English peerage and other places. It is still fairly frequently done in the SCA today, especially "OP", "OL" and "KSCA", which are at least meaningful everywhere in the SCA. But probably every SCA award has been initialized. In some kingdoms, the correct initials are specified in kingdom law. Thankfully, Caid had never done that since the practice has now fallen into disfavor (at least with the heralds) as a post-period affectation.--Lachlan 10:33, 9 March 2009 (PDT)
