SR - answer--SR Warlord

[Dennis Grace]

Salut Cozyns,

Lyonel aisai.

Baron David, Warlord of the Southern Region, says:

for both

You may

selection to

allows

at least

I agree.  I believe Baron David should remain in this position at least 
until after GW IX.

>During strategy
>meeting last Wednesday night the estimated total strength for region 
was 60.

A valiant crew but a pitiful turn out.  We *must* do better next year. 
It isn't too early to start planning for Gulf Wars IX.  Do you have the 
time off, transportation, the necessary armor, adequate camping 
supplies?  If not, get them.  If you know someone who needs help getting 
these things, help them.

>Leaders need time to plan, organize, and prepare (and negotiate with
>mercenaries).  With your support, a blessing from the Crown, and 
careful
>planning on our part, we can incorporate a change that will put some 
time in the
>hands of the Warlord.

I concur.  So, when and where's the next Southern Regional melee, Your 
Excellency?  

>Lastly, I don't object to an 'official' event to select a regional 
'warlord.'
>In fact, I welcome all the help and suggestions out there and welcome 
you to
>Raven's Fort (should that be the decided meeting place) to discuss the 
plan. My
>intent is to promote the region's intent and the will of it's people, 
not quell
>it.  I also intend to solidify what 'Warlord' is about and I can't do 
that on my
>own.

>Post, lastly.  I got cheated out of War and I'm pissed.  Giving my 
successor a
>unified region that is ready to fight, and prepared to do so, is now my 
goal.  I
>will sway this Region with word, with deed, or action.  Don't believe 
me?  I
>plan on doubling Raven's Fort's numbers for next year.  What's you're 
group
>gonna do about it?  Get on board or get out of my way.  I'm ready to 
fight!

Huzzah!  Let's get the recruiting drive underway immediately.  Gulf Wars 
XII is only 362 days away.
