<DIV><FONT size=2>We had a rapier war practice at Northern Regional Tribute last
year, requested by the Queen as part of a series of melee practices we
held. The turned out to be unneccessary (it might have been a more gentle
stomping if we hadn't practiced so hard), but was much fun.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>A Northern Regional Rapier Warlord was somewhat useless last
year, because the Queen decided who would lead the different units in the rapier
war point melees. I don't know about other years.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR>This idea has come up before and it is impractical to try and choose
a Warlord at Tribute as it traditionally serves as the Kingdom's last major
War College before Gulf Wars. I know that last year Don Donovan was
trying to get a rapier war college going. Also the original idea of
Tribute was as a fund raiser for the Kingdom. It would be very hard to
continue all of these and add the championships at the same time. I
think that we just need to work a little more on refining the Warlord event
and see where it takes us.<BR><BR>Sir Burke<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
