    Don't mean to nit pick but the motto almost seems to exclude those with a heritage.

    How about: "By Choice or By Blood"?

    Or: "By Choice and By Blood"?

    I can see where someone unfamiliar with our community could misinterpret it that way, but think the "By Choice, Not Blood" captures the X Marks ideal of inclusion. That is, one may be a member of a traditional clan by circumstances of birth, but all may choose to participate in our merry rabble.

    Best regards,
