[Ansteorra-missile] Need Authorizing Marshals

[Ironwyrm]

Both Fearghus and I found ourselves with our transport arrangement 
backing out with less than ten days remaining before the event 
over the sudden rise in fuel price.  While attempting to secure 
another ride I had a family crises, ending my trip to Gothic.  
 
I think I can speak for honorable lord Fearghus as well when I say 
even could we had been at Gothic we wouldn't just authorize 
someone unknown to us in combat archery.  
 
Unless you are well known to me as a previously authorized 
combat archer and can prove to me your knowledge of combat 
archery rules are current and up to date, don't expect to come 
and just get signed off as authorized in combat archery.  The 
authorization process is going to take many sessions of learning 
combat & combat archery rules, the making of combat archery 
equipment and active observations during local fighter practices 
to complete.  When you have exhibited the proficiently & skill to 
safely participate as a combat archer, then and only then will 
I consider signing you off as authorized in combat archery.
 
Should you desire to become a combat archer you need to 
contact your regional archery marshal to find out whom the 
authorizing combat archery marshals within your region are. 
Then contact them to learn what you need to know and make 
arrangements to spend some time to become authorized.
 

If you show up expecting to get authorized in combat archery 
just before a battle you're very likely to be disappointed!

Due to mundane issues namely, gas prices and the fact I have been sick 
for over a week, I could not attend.
