[Archers] Known World Stuff

[Jay Nardone]

Barre, I would like to see both but hey I'm a nut :P 

 

I know COG suggested Pennsic only because the archers would be already
there, trying to get them to come from around the world for a weekend event
is probably a non starter. Also we were thinking it was a way to get Archery
into the fore-front by having the final shoot out on the Battlefield. Not
sure we can even pull this off yet as this is a hurdle we would still need
to discuss with the Mayor, etc.I wanted to have it as a separate event, but
then we get into the whole location thing, site issues, how many would
really travel or would it only be the Kingdoms that are close to Atlantia
and so on..This is why I say we are nowhere near being ready to try to pull
anything off next year. 

 

If Atlantia is feeling that strongly that we want to host and run another
SSB next year, Im sure the others would not give us any issues.

Sorry!  There is absolutely nothing wrong with St. Sebastian.  It reflects
well on the spirit of cooperation that Atlantia can get 140-odd people
together for days of fun and totally succeed.  

You can't talk about the Champions Shoot at Pennsic without getting into
politics.  I know rumors of at least one archer who changed Kingdoms in
order to get into the Champions Shoot.  You can't talk about deciding
against a Known World shoot at Pennsic without getting into politics, or
about archers not taking their gear to Pennsic.  Pennsic is politics and,
unfortunately, Atlantia is only an Ally and not a Principal.  It sucks, but
Atlantia doesn't get an equal share in the decision-making process.  It
would be nice to move beyond the original premise of Mid-Realm vs. East
Kingdom, plus Allies, but I don't see it happening.  

I really hope that there will be another St. Sebastian shoot next Pennsic
and that it will be a 'fun' shoot and not a 'super competitive' shoot. And,
I hope that a 'Known World' archery event can be held outside of Pennsic
(which, let's face it, holds a patent on 'Known World') that features
Atlantian virtues of inclusiveness.

Barre, I just have to ask, what is politics here? I see only an honest and
open-ended discussion of where we as Atlantian archers want to put in our
time and efforts to create known world shoots. Lots of us have worked really
hard over the last two years to put on the St. Sebastian's shoots in the
name of Atlantia. What politics are you talking about? If you refer to the
Pennsic politics of East and Mid - - I see no reason why archers who put on
shoots should be "above" politics when it is the part and parcel of our
archery experience at Pennsic. Nobody is behaving badly here, just talking.
No back-stabbing or plotting, just discussion. What's wrong with that?

I would really like to think that, as archers, we could keep politics 
out of it, but apparently not.
