 Last year was the first War I missed because of my new teaching job.  I was 
upset but survived.  Looks like I'll be missing this year too! OH WELL.  My 
life will go on, may not be happy but I will survive.  I know that we all 
enjoy going to Gulf War because it is as much fun as going to Pensic 
(almost).  But the bottom line is , This is not Burger King- we don't always 
get it our way.  The first couple of years- GW1 and GW2- were pretty much our 
years to win- after that it became much more even as far as the compitition. 
Now perhaps the pendulum has begun to swing against our favor.  If there is a 
conspriracy, it may be one that we can not control. The good news is, that as 
the pendulum swings one way, eventually it will swing back.  If my 53 years 
of life has taught me anything , it is that you must be able to wait for the 
pendulum to change. 
 Yes - We ALL would love to to to next years Gulf Wars- but it might not 
happen for everyone.  Those that get to go- come back and tell us how well 
the kingdom did- even if against overwhelming odds.  When Trimais brought 
about 30 fighters to Gulf War 1 to face our 150 fighters, they knew what the 
outcome would be.  But I think every one in Ansteorra's army admired and 
respected the Trimarians for fielding their overwhelmed army against ours.  
BUT- they had come to have FUN and enjoy the battles, and although they lost 
the battles at Gulf War 1, they really won because of their courage and 
honor.  If there is a conspiracy- it is one of taking the FUN out of  Gulf 
Wars.  It doesn't really matter who wins or loses -just have a good time.  
Those of you who get to go- have a great time.  Come back and tell us your 
NSTIW stories.  Those of you who don't get to go this year ( like me), just 
wait- your turn will come soon.
