Creating a society/order?
Sir Brian:

By all means good sir, I did not tarry overly long within those hallowed halls of thy mind although I did by happenstance catch a glimpse of your dream the other night and although seeing Kate Blanchet wearing armor while playing a game of twister against a Ferengi ninja was a bit unusual I am not one to be judgmental! ;)
Ah and speaking of spying upon another man’s inner thoughts, Sir Edward managed to channel mine with his suggestion:
--- Quote from: Sir Edward on 2010-11-09, 15:59:51 ---What would be cool (though expensive) is if we were able to gift the new knight with a set of spurs.

Gilded of course and if the knight already owns a pair of spurs then we could provide some other appropriate gift of equal value to the spurs. The presenting of such gifts was customary and knightly.
As to whom should bestow the accolade I believe it should be the knight that sponsored the initiate if at all possible or the choice coming from the initiate entirely, it is after all their knighting and again any knight holds the authority to bestow knighthood upon another person. Besides I think it would be almost as meaningful for the knight bestowing the dubbing as it would be the one receiving the accolade.
As to the ceremony itself I also think the initiate should have a major say in the process, or if they wish to totally immerse themselves into the experience they could defer the entire ceremony to the knights bestowing the honor and follow what instructions they provide. This will also enable us to research and appreciate one of the most pivotal moments of knighthood.
Sir William:
On second thought, you're quite right, Sir Brian- the initiate would of course ask the knight he wished to give him the Accolade, I'm all for that, as it would indeed be as meaningful.
You had me cracking up about Cate in armor playing twister w/a Ferengi ninja...what a visual! Who was the Ferengi? lol

I vote Brunt, but hey, it's your dream! :)
Actually I think this sounds pretty good, to have the accolade be largely up to the new knight. Rather than set a ceremony in stone for the whole Order, make it a very personal affair.
Sir Wolf:
--- Quote from: Sir Edward on 2010-11-09, 15:13:28 ---Same here. I'm loving how civil and respectful things have always remained on this forum, and how much everyone seems to be on the same page with this discussion in particular. You all rock. Every one of you.

F'off HAH jk hehehe
Sir William:
I'm a fan of Rom myself...he's so self-effacing, sort of like the bumbling nobleman who changes into the Black Knight when the King has need. That's me!
Ok, so I'm not self-effacing per se, but I am very humble. I believe this to be true. lol
