[Elfsea] Changes in Gulf War

Greetings all,
No, I have not sent anything out yet.  I'll be doing that this evening.  

Those at Round Table were the "first to know".  As I mentioned at Round
Table, the first call I got was that Trimaris was not interested in doing
A&S competitions this year and letting the war points completely fall by the
wayside.  After spending a considerable amount of time trying to find out
why, we were able to come to a compromise.  One of the main factors was that
their Kingdom has only 3 Baronies and about 1/3 of the active Laurels that
we have.  We just locked things down and completed the rule revisions right
before Round Table.

You betcha that I'll be sending out an announcement to Ansteorra-announce
tonight.  

Thanks!
Jehanne

Greetings to you Jehanne and team,
   We informed the barony last night about the 10 artists chosen as champion
this year not 25. Many were a bit surprised. I do not remember if it was
posted on Ansteorra list or not. Since it was a surprise to so many in my
Barony I think the information needs to make it to the artists in the
Kingdom. We could put that out as an event announcement if you want but your
words or the topic would be much more informed. Its up to you just let me
know how we can help. Talk to you soon, Ameline
