[Ansteorra] comments on Western Region problem

[RGF]

I have to beg to differ with you on the Royals coming out here. We used to
get them every few years here in Adlesruhe at our Pas'd Armes event. They
really started coming out after Khan the king of Calontir came out one year.
We saw Royals or Peers from then on. And we have always had travelers from
the Northern Region. A couple of the tournament winners were even knighted
shortly after. We used to joke that winning the tournament was a good luck
charm.

>From Bonwicke to Treloc is a 3 hour trip one way.  From Bonwicke to the
Elfsea is 6 hours.  With the disbanding of the shires, the closest event
will require a long trip before the even even starts.  When I was living
there, the only time the royals or peers ever came out was for Gothic War,
so we would see them once a year.  The Western Region has always been the
"forgotten/ignored" region.  Which is sad because there are some awesome
people out there.

I'm hearing alot about this distance thing... What kind of distances are we 
talking about here? We have members that come in from Altus, which is about
an 
hour away... But they don't get to come to every weekly meeting and most of
the 
later-in-the-evening one are kinda out since they have to include drive time

back home... Just kinda curious...

"local groups" is reduced to two, the distances involved to "belong" to a
group are simply too far for any reasonable person to consider travelling
regularly.
