February: CRLs Eras and Styles
Following detailed orders is an important skill for a Mandalorian. There are times that we might get instructions from a client hiring us, or a member of the clan, or even The Mandalore may need to be able to give us detailed instructions. They need to be able to count on us being able to understand them.
Fortunately, we can use the MMCC CRLs to help us train and refine this skill. Additionally, the App Team is always working to keep MMCC Mandalorian costumes in tip-top form or clarify areas of confusion. Because of this, the CRL changes regularly and it’s a great idea to brush up on it from time to time.
Finally, when a Mythosaur turns 18, they have the honor and privilege of going through the same armor Approval process as every other adult member of the MMCC. Now is a good time to start working towards getting your armor kit as good as it can be! To do that, you should know the process for how your armor will be judged.
Prerequisite:
Get on the Internet and browse to the MMCC Main Website: http://mandalorianmercs.org/ (Click “Costume Requirements” tab). Find the CRLs for Crusaders, Modern, and Post-Imperial.
Challenge:
The Mandalorian Mercs Costume Club currently recognizes three distinct “Eras” of Mandalorians from what we know through movies, shows, comics, and novels. Each era has a “Costume Requirements List”, which is commonly referred to as the “CRLs”. The CRLs detail the costume requirements for compliance with the given era or subcategory within the era. Select which Era and Style (if applicable) best fits the costume listed below in Novice, Journeyman, and/or Expert.
Novice:
Identify numbers 1, 2, & 3 which Era and Style (if applicable).
Journeyman:
Complete the Novice challenge, then also identify numbers 4, 5, 6, & 7, stating which Era and Style (if applicable).
Expert:
Complete the Novice and Journeyman challenges, then also identify numbers 8, 9, 10 & 11, stating which Era and Style (if applicable).
Send what level you completed (Novice, Journeyman, or Expert) answers the photos to mythosaur@verdikacorps.com and remember to include your Verd’ika Mandalorian Name for credit. Explain what details you noticed about the costumes that helped you select the Era and Style (if applicable) you believe the CRLs match up with. After reviewing all of these different eras, tell us which one is your favorite!
