  I was wondering if anyone has proposed an Atlantian Gate competition for 
the permanent lands at Gulf Wars.  If so, where do we get the particulars?
Dear Lady Alexandra,

    No Proposal has been made for a gate competition at this time.  I have 
asked Lord Griffith to look into some plans based on a $500-$700 budget.  I 
thought at least that would give us a starting point.  To see what kind of gate 
that type of budget will get us, or if we need to make adjustments.  He is the 
good gentle, that erected the temporary Atlantian gate at the Pennsic War a few 
years ago.  I don't know how many people saw the gate at that time but I was 
very impressed. 

    I do and will need help with fundraising/planning of this project.  I 
have a couple of ideas that might work towards filling the gate coffers, but have 
very little experience in the actual doing process.  Eventually, physical 
help putting up the gate will also be needed.  If anyone feels they want to help 
out on this project please send me an e-mail and I will include them in the 
current correspondence (and/or future message board?).  I think it is fairly 
unrealistic that a "proper" permanent Atlantian gate can or will be constructed 
before Gulf War XVI (2007).  But would like to see something up and ready for 
Gulf War XVII (2008), at least that is my current goal, with Our Majesties 
consent of course.   

I want to thank you Lady Alexandra, for posting your questions to the Merry 
Rose.  I was trying to figure out how to ask for help, this was a perfect 
opportunity to answer your questions as well as letting the populous of Atlantia 
know what is going on.  So if you, or anyone on the list, wants to get involved 
with this project, I for one would welcome the help.

YIS,
Lord Pagan Grendel
