[MR] WoW points

[John]

Jonathan I don’t think you speak for your barony in this matter, but the simple truth is we do vote with our feet. With talk of Crusades starting back up again and with that type of attitude I believe many folks will decide to do just that very thing. 
 
Please do not think it is your efforts alone that brought over 900 people to this event. Many folks traveled 8 or 10 hours to get there to lend their support. And when concerns are raised telling them simply “anybody who doesn't like the scoring system that they start and run their own war.” Is not a way to inspire folks to continue to support YOUR BARONYS event.
 
Jon before you respond next time type the email and wait… send it to people that care about you to read it and wait… after a week or so if you still feel passionate about it then think about sending it.

The only way I know what the "score" was and therefore who "won" War of the Wings, or Gulf Wars, or Pennsic, is by reading about it long afterward.  



Everybody knows who won the heavy fighting.  Everybody knows who won the rapier.  Everybody knows who won the A&S.  Everybody knows who won the other points.  In short, everybody knows who won the part of the war that mattered the most to them.



I have yet to see anybody going home crying that they're not coming back because the points weren't fair.  Everybody I saw going home was raving about what a blast they had.



Frankly, I would suggest to anybody who doesn't like the scoring system that they start and run their own war.  Who knows?  Maybe one day they'll break a thousand attendees.

I was thinking this as I read over Lady Gisela's report before I ever got to Duke Logan's missive. I had the pleasure of serving the barons of Black Diamond for many years during which time I had a very close relationship with Sacred Stone. I have had the pleasure of serving the barons of Sacred Stone for nearly four years now. I tell this to establish that I love both baronies dearly but my loyalty now belongs to Sacred Stone. Still, I feel that awarding war points for attendance, volunteering, and class attendance seems unfair when the war is always held in the lands of Sacred Stone and the hosting barony is much larger. I'm sure the intention was to give everyone a chance to participate in the war, but these war points just don't seem right to me It is the responsibility of the hosting barony to create as even a playing field as possible.
