Hopefully I'm not the only one who went... Share your stories!

I think I have two favorites from this war. The first begins with a waterbearer, who was so generously serving the warriors despite the fact that male waterbearers get thanked less. Anyway, he was just finishing with the Caidan Spartans (who, by the way, are fantastic), when a fighter from another unit yanked the water out of his hands and spat a "gimme that!" in his direction. Seeing this, the good Spartan was more than miffed. He very calmly took the offender by the scruff of his neck, lifted him off the feild, and informed him that he WOULD be appreciative of waterbearers from then on.

The other was after Starkhafn's "love train" had trampled half the enemies (and some friends). One good gentle needed help to his feet, and one of his comrades said "my lord, you've just been run over by 10,000 pounds of mean and nasty."

VE VICTUS!

I heard something at Pennsic, to the effect that GWW might not happen this year due to some sort of maintenance issues at Prado Park... does anybody know what's going on, whether there's been any progress on finding a new site, etc? (By the way, last I knew GWW WOULD be returning to Prado Park next year, the problems apply to this year only. So, nobody panic, okay?) wink

The electrical system effectively melted. They have to dig up the entire park and 100% redo it. GWW autocrats tried to find a new site in time but they couldn't do it. For the volume of people who go to GWW you have to book at least 6 months in advance, and with things like porta-privs and shower trucks... it just couldn't happen.

As for next year there's some question as to where the event will be held. Prado was talking about raising rates (a LOT), and with the enormous expense of rebuilding there's no way we can convince them to lower it. If we can find a cheaper site, we'll move. If not... well, that's bloody unlikely.
