A&S Point
Has anyone ever heard, "Did you see who won the A&S competition last ____?" more often than "Did you see the [insert cool item] at [random event]? I was really impressed with ..."
As far as I can tell, except in the case of someone pushing for an award for someone else, no one pays attention to or remembers who won an A&S competition. What they remember is the work they saw with their own eyes.
Unlike the Order of the Chivalry, the ability to beat 90% (or better, Kane's Ratio) of the rest of the folks in a tourney(competition) ISN'T what Order members look at.
Just thought I'd mention that.
[EDIT: Sir Bryce reminded me that the Chivalry doesn't generally remember who won tourneys either - they cite specific fights and who-bested-who 'track records' (for lack of a better phrase). So see - being A WINNAR doesn't really affect how an Order looks at you. Being outstanding in your field does.]
