Clueless ones

I just refused a request from a person whose name I totally do not recognize (does not appear anywhere in my Precedence files), who was trying to join all nine polling lists for the East. Including the Chivalry and the Rose! Bub, if you live in this kingdom and claim to be a member of either the Chivalry or the Rose, and especially if you are a member of both*, trust me if I say I don't recognize your name. Nervy, I have to give him that.

(The East has no male members of the Rose. Period. Yet, anyway.)

Long live Her Majesty Nicola, Queen by Right Of Arms! And His Majesty Fergus, King of Love And Beauty!

And then there will be a male Rose.

Was his name Spammy McSpamster? There's this annoying tendency for spammers to actually go through the motions and join lists, lurk for a little while, and then start reaming it with spam...

Heh, that is a bit of bravado, but the person in question probably has no clue.

Court of Courtesy, anyone?

The Rose is a polling order??? I can't see that as anything except an opportunity for deadly insult. "We don't care if you were on the throne, we don't like you!"

Arastorm did not "create the Order of the Rose in the East." The Board in its Infinite Wisdom created the Order of the Rose for the whole of the SCA. There was some sort of membership fu during AElfwine and Arastorm's reign which resulted in their not officially "completing" their reign, which is probably why the records don't reflect that she ever received the Order of the Rose. Fatima certainly did, but that was all but prehistoric -- hardly anybody but Alfgar kept records then.
