A question on War

For me, wars are an opportunity to take classes, to shop (lots of
merchants!), to meet people from other kingdoms, and to watch fighting that
is far more exciting than what you see at the average tournament. I have
been to Gulf Wars for the last three years and have found it well worth the
expense. This year, I plan to go to Pennsic for the first time, and I'm
looking forward to it very much. I certainly wouldn't see a problem with
Ansteorra participating in another war -- I'd like to go visit the Outlands
or Calontir.
