[MR] Heavy Fighting at Ymir

[David Ritterskamp]

Seems to me that the same announcement was made last year and because of the 
large # of fighters that didn't want to / couldn't fight those weapons forms 
they went ahead and had a regular tourney.  Can we get some kind of 
definitive statement ahead of time this time?

Regards,

Jonathan Blackbow



There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, 
or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction 
of a new order of things.
