In 2018, Lightning analyzed ORK data to describe women's progression in Amtgard fighting. This was the culmination of two years of research and online engagement. The writeup is available [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vqoChTvIK3HD-NkEapK4ybVFbVkLy1j-eVhZHGTrCo4/edit?usp=sharing here]
 +
 +
In 2019, Lightning brought forward a corpora amendment for the Iron Mountains to run a non-men's tournament once per reign. This amendment passed narrowly and was shortly afterward imitated in Dragonspine and Rivermoor.
 +
 +
In 2021, Lightning led the interkingdom Awards Evaluation Committee team in proposing amendments to the award standardization. Following the team's proposals presented [https://www.facebook.com/groups/AmtgardCoM/posts/2940645602863081/ here], the Circle of Monarchs amended the award standardization to add a 5th knighthood recognizing battlegaming, and to make the Warrior ladder more attainable. Warlord requires 3 kingdom tournament wins instead of 4. The right of monarchs to define what constitutes a "kingdom level tournament" was written explicitly into the rules. Kingdoms were encouraged to backdate this standards change and adjust the levels of existing players as appropriate.
