[MR] Comments on Proposed revision of Corpora IV.A.1.

Hello all, This is Sir Daemon sneaking his wife's email account so 
all the following are Daemon's and not Emma's.

I have to strongly agree with HRH Logan on this matter.  Crown 
tourney should be single combat.  Within the melee scenario there 
are just to many things that can go wrong.  What if there are 20 
fighters and 18 of them fight on one side?  What if they are 
randomly spit but then 6 out of the 10 on my side don't really want 
me to win...will they truly fight as hard as if they wanted me to???  

As for using Acre as an example, sure, why not?  In Acre if a 
person wants to be crown then they can hire a champion to fight for 
them, right?  So now I just have to have enough money to pay HRH 
Logan, Anton, Michael, Keigan, Havorc, Cuan, and Ragnarr to fight 
for me in crown and I can sit in the shade on the side-lines sipping 
ice tea and watch.  No months of training or years of aquiring skill 
required, nor inspiration from my Lady.  Wow, what fun that would 
be for all involved.  (This is my sarcasm slipping through)  Imagine 
what a great monarch I would make if this is how I got to the 
throne.  Or, rather than cash I could promise peerages to all those 
who fight for me, hey you want to be a _______(fill in the peer title 
here)?  
OK, that rant is over.

Single combat people, it shows more than just fighting skill.  To 
aquire the skill takes years of practice, training, commitment and 
sweat equity.  You want to be the King?  Earn it.
I know about earning it, I believe that I have made the quarters 
more often than most and I have yet to sit the throne.  You know 
what that means?  The people who beat me were better, more 
experience, faster, more inspired, less tired, or I just didn't do the 
job I needed to do.  Whose fault is that, Mine.  I want to win the 
crown myself for my lady, not with the help of all the friends I can 
pile onto the field at the end.  
A Man has to step onto the list field and faces death alone, to 
bravely call the field his and no man dare challenge him, with valour 
and skill to change his fate or die trying, with his ladies love to win 
Her a Crown.
Never give up,
Daemon
