[MR] Atlantia Digest, Vol 87, Issue 15

[logan]

the crown chooses who their champion is based on whatever criteria they
wish.  there is a competition that declares someone the winner and they
become the royal archer much like the royal brewer but those are very
different.

as to your question regarding changes to rules and whether or not that is an
attempt to "kill archery in atlantia" while atlantia is, without question,
the driving force in the whole of the sca it is doubtful that rules made on
a society level are made to have some nefarious effect on atlantia alone.
all of our martial disciplines undergo constant review and rules are changed
as concerns become apparent.  sometimes those concerns are, well, pretty
silly and based on a bunch of "could be", "what if", might happen", "i
think", type of idiocy.  nonetheless, rules are rules and we all have to
adapt.  when it comes to rule changes it doesnt make a lot of sense to ask
those that are effected since the bias will almost always be "i like the way
we do it" so consulting archers, or fighters, or rapier folk, etc about
concerns that will change their game makes little sense.  the hope, and i do
say that with a straight face no matter how hard it is sometimes, is that
those folks that raise their hands and become empowered with "safety" are
actually looking out for the greater good.  sometimes they are wrong, more
often they are right.  however, what we all must do is accept any changes
and then provide feedback, if needed, should things need to be changed.

regards
logan

Greetings unto the tavern:

First concern: What is the difference between the Royal Archer of Atlantia
and the Archery Champion of Atlantia or the Kingdom Archery Champion? Or is
it the Royal Atlantian Champion of Archery or some other permutation? It
would appear each is chosen as the result of a competitive shoot? Held mere
weeks apart? In different parts of the Kingdom?

Second concern: What the devil is going on with the "new" archery
regulations? Did anybody think to actually consult with archers on this? I
have never been so confused in all my life and I have a degree in molecular
biophysics from Yale. Is somebody out there trying to kill archery in
Atlantia?
