Cool Things About NOT Being a Peer

• Avoid the cost of an expensive elevation party / vigil
• There's a reason to attend Court — as a non-peer, you may get an award
• No boring peerage meetings to attend
• Don't have to worry that everything you say or do may be held as an example of what your peerage is
• Don't have to pretend to know everything about the SCA, your time period, your peerage, etc.
• Don't have to worry about getting flak if you aren't active in your local group
