*Once*?  Fighters have autocrated Twelfth Night, Kingdom A&S, King's 
College, Heraldic Symposium, Kingdom Eisteddfod, etc.

At Twelfth Night in Steppes Elfsea last weekend, the chef was a Count; the 
kitchen crew included at least one other fighter; the air conditioning unit 
was fixed by a fencer / rattan fighter; the bardic entertainment was 
arranged by a Don and a Duke / Knight / Don and included performances by a 
knight and a Don / Centurion; the two heralds for the main court were a Don 
/ Centurion and a Knight, the dishwashers were a mass of Centurions; and 
one of the autocrats was a cadet and the site coordinator was a cadet.  The 
guy in charge of security was a fencer / rattan fighter.  That's just off 
the top of my head.

The fighters are no less (or more) a part of the work crew than any other 
class.  This is a volunteer organization, and we are *all* volunteers.
