[MR] WoW points

[Rozsa]

Jonathan, while I was unable to attend this year, I do know that in previous 
years the winner of War of the Wings was announced in Court Saturday 
evening.  I would be surprised to find out that this year was any different.

And while I do understand and can appreciate the sentiment behind attempting 
to find ways that more people can participate in the war and 'fight' for 
their side.  I, too, agree with those that feel that these new war points 
should be reconsidered next year for all the reasons previously stated - and 
I, along with Baron Achbar who hatched this crazy idea and a staff that I am 
eternally grateful too, did start War of the Wings.
