NR - Northkeep castle plans

[Merrik Viltar Har]

    I also applaud and welcome your enthusiasm, and we, I, Northkeep do need
a good kick in the ass about this damn castle, so thank you, HOWEVER,
    At Northkeep Officers meeting, or was it a Northkeep fighter practice,
Thorgrim and I ask about the plans for the B.S.A. approved telephone pole
castle and Laird Ian dun Gillian offered that he still had a copy of the
plans.  He has been ask to put that in a standard type of graphic format for
us all to have a look at.  Alas, if I remember correctly, when Piotr, Alton
and those boys put their heads together and had an architect friend of their
draw up those preliminary plans there wasn't much more detail input other
than the structure itself with not allot of how the structure became a
structure instructions.
    To date, the problem has been, I repeat, that when the "free" telephone
poles are offered, it is on a first come first serve basis and there are
others out there who want these poles that have the resources to trot right
out and collect them, where the Barony of Northkeep, as yet does not.
    So, Jean Paul the plans that are floating around are NOT of no use, they
are the end result of the effort that the Barony of Northkeep has put into
this project, and what Rowan is referring to is that several of us are feel
that folks who have just begun on this project are in essence thumbing your
nose's at that effort that the Barony of Northkeep has offered.  We also
would love to have our castle, to that end, if you have anything
constructive or beneficial to add to the B.S.A. approved telephone pole
castle, please do.
    As well, isn't there chain of 'political command' to follow here, in all
of this discussion, it doesn't seem that you have involved the Barony of
Northkeep, the Baron and Baroness, or the seneschal, etc., for in the end it
would be their necks for the castle.
    I appreciate that Ragnar and Timothy have decided on their own to
reproduce the castle from Gulf, but why, we already got one of those, as
well we don't have permission from the people that own the land to build
anything else right now.  Discussions at Northkeep meetings regarding the
castle Northkeep would try to build, determined a different structure would
be better, adding verity to our fighting, which would be better than a Gulf
War castle copy.  It isn't the castle we need to practice against, it is
each other we need to practice with, the style of castle is then secondary
at best.
    So while we are digging up the plans, why don't you dig up a truck or
trailer and the manpower and equipment to start collecting the poles, that
way everyone contributes and we get our castle that has been in the planning
stages for two and one half years.  We could also use a backhoe, concrete,
steel for the gates, and someone who can weld.
    Jean Paul, Thimothy, Ragnar, we are all behind you and want a castle as
well, but this HAS all been done, and people who have the authority to
decide have already decided, at least that is the way it seems to me.
