a Fighter in her Army.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><SPAN class=postbody>
<DIV class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN class=postbody><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">There are few events that
Atlantia or her King calls the fighters to. There is an expectation that they
attend these events if at all possible. There are really only three fighting
events where you serve your Kingdom or answer the call of your King.
</SPAN></SPAN><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><BR><BR><SPAN class=postbody>1.
Kingdom Crusades. </SPAN><BR><SPAN class=postbody>2. Assessments.
</SPAN><BR><SPAN class=postbody>3. Pennsic </SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN
class=postbody>You should attend Kingdom 12th Night, Coronation and
Crown, and it is good to be seen at Ymir, TOC and Sapphire Joust to show what
you have on the field. </SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=postbody>However the
reputation of your Kingdom is not at stake at these events. It is at Crusades
and Pennsic. </SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=postbody>I hear reasons why people can
not attend. It is to expensive, gas is high, it is to far, the weather is bad
(family and job however are good reasons), WOWII is the next weekend. But if
you have nothing else to do that weekend for your family or to support your
family and you are a fighter, get in a car with a few of your buddies to
defray the cost of travel and come out and support your Kingdom during
Crusades. Kingdom Crusades is where you should be. </SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN
class=postbody>If you can not be there, you should be encouraging the other
fighters to be there and explaining why it is important that they
attend.</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=postbody>The East has people come down from
<st1:State w:st="on">Vermont</st1:State> and <st1:place w:st="on">Northern New
York</st1:place> (and further I think). Now I don’t have a map on me right
now, but I think that is a frick’n far way to travel to fight the
Atlantian Army. We do ourselves no honor as a Kingdom by not meeting the East
with the numbers they expect and want. </SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN
class=postbody>Last year we got our heads handed to us. As an Army we were
less then effective and there were few shining moments for us. It will happen
again if we do not field an Army worthy of our Kingdom. Though it will be run
like a practice this year, I am sure numbers will still count.
</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=postbody>Also do not fool yourself. The Crowns, the
Knights and the Leaders of the Army even the Kingdom itself know who come to
support her. </SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=postbody>I remain,
</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN class=postbody>Sir
Guy.</SPAN></SPAN></DIV></SPAN><BR><BR>
