[MR] Re: Iron Lance

[Donald Wagner]

Greetings from Rodrigo Falcone!

I saw the same thing from two of them in the Mountain Pass battle, but 
only two of them and it was indeed blatant.  We fought in the southern 
pass right at the bale.  I was not the only Atlantian, or even brother 
of St. Aiden who noticed it.  It wasn't worth arguing over(less time to 
fight the honorable people).  Most of them were a pleasure to meet/kill 
and we both pressed our issues valiantly.

What is truly sad: there are some very honorable and very worthy 
fighters among the group.  As a whole, they fight hard and are an 
effective unit on the field.  They execute their objective with 
precision and planning.  They follow orders from their commanders.  A 
couple of them do, however, cheat and lie.  This dishonor colors their 
overall perception to a less than pleasant shade of doo-doo brown.

It's a simple thing to clean up and easy, really.  Pehaps we should make 
a lesson of this.  For all the good we do, it only takes a couple to 
screw it up for everybody.
