<BLOCKQUOTE
style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: blue 2px solid"><FONT
style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Unto the
glorious and now much renowned fighting population of Ponte- <BR>Bach, does
Baron Maximilian Von Halstern send congratulations, <BR>greetings, and
this urgent missive.<BR><BR>Your *outstanding* performance on the fields of
Pennsic and before <BR>that at Blackstone Raid and the Sapphire Joust
Melee Tournament has <BR>truly set the bar for unit excellence and has
led his Grace, Duke <BR>Cuan, to try to increase the focus on melee
fighting throughout our <BR>great Kingdom by hosting a new ten-person
melee tournament at the <BR>Coronation of Prince Jason and Princess
Gerhild.<BR><BR>Whilst we have truly just journeyed far in defense of Crown
and <BR>Kingdom, and whilst 'tis true their Highnesses' Coronation is
not <BR>close to home, *now* is the time to cement our rightful place
and <BR>standing and prove our worth and prowess as a cohesive and
mighty <BR>melee unit to glorious and proud Atlantia.<BR><BR>We can, of
course, take the easier and softer route... claiming <BR>fatigue and
distance. Or we can choose the path less travelled, and <BR>take
up the gauntlet of challenge and strive to again demonstrate to <BR>all
what we know in our hearts to be true! That together as a team,
<BR>we can rise to any challenge and meet and conquer any foe that might
<BR>come before us!<BR><BR>As we did before with Blackstone Raid, we can
coordinate ridesharing, <BR>caravanning, room-sharing (hotels or cabins
if still available), off- <BR>site meals, etc... through the Expeditionary
Corps to help ensure <BR>everyone who wants to go can get there and back
and to minimize costs.<BR><BR>Together we have come so far and done great
things in such a short <BR>amount of time. I hope that we will be
willing to keep walking down <BR>the path together and put together a
mighty team of ten (or perhaps <BR>two teams of ten!) along with the
support personnel to help make such <BR>a team possible (for truly, we
*cannot* do any of this without our <BR>tremendous support
personnel).<BR><BR>Please let me know if you are willing to participate and
join us in <BR>this effort to maintain the hardfought position we have
gained. You <BR>can reach me at warlord@pontealto.org. If
you would like to <BR>participate in the ridesharing, carvanning,
room-sharing/planning and <BR>off-site meals and such, please let us
know at expeditionary@pontealto.org <BR>.<BR><BR>It has been and remains my
privilege and honor to be in service,<BR><BR>Baron Max Von
