"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

I like it. We could add that on the "about the order" page, and who we are and what we do. Nicely said.

BTW, just thought I should point out to Stormdelver an anyone else reading this that if they want to join the Order, right now the best thing to do is to hang out on the forum and let us get to know you, etc. We're in the paradoxical state right now where we've put the rules into motion, but we don't have any knights with which to induct new members, hold votes, etc. Until we get the first batch of knightings done, it's hard to make the rules operate. :)

Aye. My vote goes for not only adding it to the website, but to get tattoos and bumper stickers as well!  :D

Also, when are we gonna get to those knightings? Or the secret meetings? Or plots to take over the world? Or laying sieges on prime real estate?

You know, we could always get a set of challenge coins made up. That would be cool. :)

Challenge coins?

Yep, challenge coins have been used by clubs and organizations as a method of identifying other members. The idea is, rather than a secret handshake, everyone just keeps this coin in their pocket. So when you meet someone claiming to be a member, you can "challenge" them to show you their coin and prove that they are indeed a member.

I was thinking we would just wear our armour under our seemingly-normal street clothes ;)
