So, how does someone get knighted, and what does being knighted do for you?

[WWWwombat]

IIrc, you do stuff to bring renown and glory to the Commonwealth.  And then you get a cool title.

[Ithillian Turambar]

You get mentioned in the Queen's Birthday or New Year's Honour's List.

 

You get to be called Sir Mawthtex

 

Ladies are made into Dames.

 

You have to be a British National or from a British Territory - otherwise it's just an Honorary Knighthood and technically you are not a Sir. An example of this is Bob Geldof

 

Why do you ask?

[Netbattler11]

My friend and I were talking about knights and I thought you people might be good sources of information.

[Elaevia]

knighthood doesn't come with a suit of armour and a castle and a horse though.

 

 

It should do though, that would be cool.

[Netbattler11]

At the very least a sword.

[Leyrann]

I can knight you Maw, but don't get mad if I, er, accidentally cut your head off.

[Netbattler11]

Get yourself queened and we'll talk

[Ithillian Turambar]

Getting yourself Queened is statistically more likely to end with headchoppyoffness than getting yourself Knighted.

[Panchi]

Well it was not mentioned that Ley has to make himself queen to England. Maybe he can make himself queen of a-place-that-does-not-exist. Of course there is one such place called that. Or maybe make himself Queen Bee. Then Maw would be Knight Bee and would get...honey?

What about this guy?

[Leyrann]

I'd prefer being king of a random place that I made a kingdom myself... Kings can behead, er, knight people too, right?

Hong Kong was a British Territory :)

[Panchi]

Kings can behead knights. And kings have great swords or are those knights.

[ineedfourberfs]

Sir Berf wouldn't work anyway.

 

Sir Berfington...

[Panchi]

Well you can be a knight in Light Faction

 

I don't know why but I started humming Desi Boyz on reading the title of this thread. Don't bother googling or youtubing since most of you won't understand it

Ah, I forgot that 

[Ithillian Turambar]

We just borrowed it for a while lol.

You can be a Master in the Shadow

[Panchi]

But Master doesn't give you the title Sir

[lolguy26]

it gives you the title of master, which sounds much scarier and shadowie 

 

 

[Netbattler11]

Plus no one is gonna call you sir here anyway.

[Ithillian Turambar]

I have been called ma'am however.

 

Makes me feel like the Queen lol

[ineedfourberfs]

You've never been in a Bond movie.

 

I call bull. You aren't the real queen at all!

[ineedfourberfs]

Master Berf, by the way, is a touch unfortunate.

 

I am ok without titles from this point on. Berf Shadow pretty much says everything it needs to say.

 

Maybe Berf is the title.
