I'd like to thank everyone who sent me comments regarding the Awards. You have been heard and I have made changes. The most notable change is the return of the War Cross awaits the cheers. However, the Bronze Scroll is dead and gone.

The most drastic changes, you'll note, lie in the "Awarded by:" section of most of the Awards. There has been more power given in regards to many Awards. Now, with these revisions comes great responsibility. I do look at all the award recommendations that come to me, and if I start seeing certain awards being given to liberally, I won't be happy. I'm putting my trust in the membership that this system will not be abused.

Finally, a word about the Crescents. They will be used for ALL House, Clan and Order competitions, except for "Make a House/Clan Banner/Motto" and other short, fairly menial competitions.

If I do not get any drastic comments or suggestions, then this will be the version of the Awards that will go into the revised DSC. The URL is still at: http://abyss.borkweb.com/ocl/awards.html
