Title: Knightly organizations copying each other?

Interesting. Scroll down on both these pages. The charts showing their ranks are identical, right down to the colors used:

Munay-Ki Shamanic Knights

(based in Texas)

Mystic Knighthood

Looks like the Mystics took what worked for them from the Munay-Ki...I can't judge them, they're doing something that feels right for them.  I'm doing something I know is right for me.

That is definitely very copy and pasted. Seems like the Munay-Ki copied the Mystics, because the images in the right column only work on the Mystics site, yet the Munay-Ki has the broken reference to them. The only difference seems to be the specialization titles - even the timelines for the first 2 groups are identical.

It's also interesting because the color scheme seems to fit the Munay-Ki better than the Mystics, and the Mystics seem to have done it first.

We did copy a presentation style from somewhere else with our own Roll of Arms, but, there's only so different they can look, and I'm sure the ones we styled after had styled theirs after something historical.
