This  might sound a tad self-serving, being a Peer, but I'm feeling manly  enough this morning to take that risk: the Peerage as a whole is one of  the cornerstones of any successful reign, and they are thick enough on  the ground now that they long since have been taken off the  "endangered" list in AEthelmearc. If you -- as a Crown Tourney  contender -- don't know three individual Peers well enough to ask them  to stake their reputation on your reign by speaking out in favor of it,  are you really ready not just to win a tournament, but to assume the  duties and burdens of SCA Royalty?

  Oh my dear dear friend. I know many many peers. You should be fully  aware of that considering you've graced nearly every circle I've run. 
  
  My point is not that I do not know enough peers. Its not that I don't know many who I would consider wonderful people. 
  
  The problem is that if I were to ask any Peer to stake their reputation  on my reign I would want them to be people who knew me quite well  indeed. People who consider me a friend at the very least.
  
  Thus far that would limit me to very very few Peers indeed. 
  
  As for being intimidated by Peers. I live in the Shire of Coppertree. I  gave up having Peer fear about 3 days after I joined the SCA. When the  first people you meet have more alphabet soup then the Campbell's  company you decide that someone being a Peer only means something in  formal instances fairly quickly.
