[Ponte Alto] Pennsic is coming however......it is also the time to think about recruitment

[wilchamor1 at aol.com]

Stole one of our fair maidens! Ponto Alto you must make this viking pay a price for stealing one of our women. He must pay beer or fight on the practice field aganst our chosen few. Or, If injury prevents him from doing so show that he can be an artisan.
Well If someone else can take our methods and improve his Barony can we do any less. Is this Barony able or will the figthers say "Its not my problem. I am only intrested in me.". Only time will tell.

This saddens me!

Good Ponte Alto, You welcomed me with open arms.  You made it clear that you welcomed everyone!  HL Lucas is a right and noble man, a fighting man, and a warrior of no small word fame!  I do not believe that your great Barony has it in you to not seek out those worthy and ready to learn the sword's ways.  In fact, I know that you each, fine gentles, are some of the most welcoming and instructive in the Knowne World.

I spent but a small time in your midst before betraying my viking roots and spiriting one of your warrior women away back to An Tir.  But do not think I do not cherish the times I spent in your Barony, and think fondly on the words and deeds you each showed and represented!  At each event, I raise my horn to you; I have never, ever seen such a Barony when it came to recruiting the fyrd, laying mail on the shoulders of those eager to learn, and handing the slightest, most timid person a sword and teaching them to crush their foes.

Your recruitment skills are legendary, Ponte Alto.  Your word fame reaches ears even out here.  Your warband is mighty, your soldiers are brave, and I would carve each of you the hero's portion at any feast where we met.  Go forth and spread your numbers!  I know there are those who would answer Sir Guy's call.  I myself have used your fliers here in the harsh cold of Wealdsmere's lands, and seen what fruits they bear.  I have spoken to our newer fighters the way you have taught me, and have pushed for more public areas in which to recruit the bold.  Our baronial troops swell, and not just in their mead-laden guts, but in their number!  You have taught me, Ponte Alto, and I know you will continue to teach those who pass through your lands.

I am a subject of An Tir, but I know recruiting skill when I see it.  You and yours have it.  May you find the good souls to step up and fill the spots needed to make your numbers swell!

I look forward to seeing Pontoons at Pennsic.  Please seek me out... just by watching Ponte Alto act, I was inspired to recruit; I can find a way to express my gratitude for this, and will make every effort to achieve it.  

Stay true to your course, Ponte Alto!  You inspire me.

Yours,

Aethan
An Tir

Gee Sir Guy I have gotten tired of Tooting that horn. Our figthers seem to have no great intrest in doing so. They have recruted slowley, but the great mass we did two years ago will never happen again. 
I wish I could be proven wrong. In fact I would love to proven wrong. I want them to prove me wrong.
But they have forgotten the lesson that Max showed us, everyone has to recuit for us to grow. So do not expect much from Ponte Alto this year. We have a Good leader in charge, but I have not seen as much support for him as he deserves.
Good luck at Pennsic.
Cosimo

I know I keep bringing this up every couple of months.
 
However now is really the time to start planning for recruitment for the fall.
 
Both so that we can fill up strikes classes but also to rebuild the Baronial Army for HL Lucas to weild for their Excellencies in support of the Crown,
 
It takes a good 6-12 months to get someone in army and kinda trained to the point were they are useful to everyone and feel like they are part of the team.
 
Really I think there should be two recruitment planning efforts one now for handling the fall, and another in Nov to handle the winter and spring.
 
Just my usual recruitment poke and 2 cents.
 
Sir Guy
