PUNISHMENT??? Namron pulled out. That is all. There has been no
punishment mentioned by the Kingdom or the Seneschallate</FONT><FONT

<P dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Actually, Namron did not pull
out. A significant number of our barony had approached us with
serious concerns. We attempted to work them out with these people and with
the Northern Regional Seneschal. Her Excellency and I had reached the
point in all the furor in the Barony that we decided to poll the populace at our
next meeting, this coming Wednesday. If too many people were upset over
the multiple recent issues, then there would be no point in Namron being the
host for the event.</FONT></P>
<P dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>When we spoke to the Kingdom
Seneschal, he informed us that the Barony of Namron would no
longer be hosting the event. Furthermore, the Barony was going to be
"punished", and "sanctions" would be placed on Namron, to whit, the Barony of
Namron will not be allowed to host any Regional or Kingdom events for the year
2001.</FONT></P>
<P dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>The quoted words are Richards, not
ours. That is why the words "punishment" and "sanctions" are being
used.</FONT></P>
<P dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Again, if anyone has questions and care to
find out what we know, please feel free to contact us.</FONT></P>
