(pointless) Kingdom Crusades update:
Anglesey started the day's melees with the East Kingdom. Lining up with our friends the Tuchux, we assisted in delivering 2-3 lopsided but fun vicories. At that point, the East Kindom Notables very cordially (what nice fellows) asked Anglesey and friends if we would please fight for Atlantia to help even up the sides. Well, we did so of course, but to put it bluntly, it didn't help at all.
We fought as bravely as we could (same as ever), but still experienced defeat after bloody defeat at the hands of the militarily superior East Kingdom Army. They just really seemed like they showed up to make a war on somebody(?) this year, and the results were self-evident. The stand-in-line-forever-resurrection-scenario didn't help matters, nor did the dangerously cramped hay-bale castle we were fighting over/in. We were impressed anew with the valor and ability of the East Kingdom Army at Pennsic, and that impression did not change on this bloody and violent day of carnage.
All-in-all, still worth the trip and the price of admission. The buffet style feast was decent enough. Barry Barry Barium got a Shark's tooth for his valorous acts in the bridge scenarios, where he had been amply and ably assisted by ScooterHead and Warlord Badger, who got nothing and were ok with that.
AngleCabin #1 had a good party while AngleCabin#2 got shook down by some autobureaucratlady for some imagined reason the no one can remember. AngleCabin#2 also got serenaded at very high volume by the tender sonic ministrations of Kinsman Arabus, who about snored the building apart all bloody night long, so those folk had no logical choice but to try and drink all night instead of sleeping.

PENNSIC UPDATE:
Congratulations to Kinsman Badger of House Lost on his election as Anglesey Warlord. Congratulations as well to our newest Kinsman, Adon Wyndhaven. Congratulations also to Kinsman Arundoor on his having won the honor of Anglesey Clan Champion. A new vote at the annual Pennsic Tribal Meeting declares expanded responsibility for the Clan Champion. They are now the Battlefield Commander of Anglesey, as well as being in charge of talking shite on behalf of the Tribe and getting us into decent fights. These duties may be delegated at will, as can those of the Warlord, so members: be sure and hide from these people.
As for the fighting, we fought for quality pay under :: military secret::. We got paid with :: military secret:: and also :: military secret::. Along with our employers du-jour, we fought for the Army of the East Kingdom (blue team), and were victorious in the War, defeating the Middle Kingdom featuring Atlantia under King Duke Sir Logan, whom Kinsman Adon slew in open combat in the woods battle (for +100,000exp!).
Anglesey fought with great distinction this year, alongside our new/old friends the Markland Army, led by KellyCooCooHead and HRRMoM King Fox, especially in the Woods and Field Battles, directly and greatly helping the Blue Army to achieve victory conditions in these 2 battles. An aside: The Pennsic newspaper reported that the East Kingdom regulars rolled up a unit called the Black Talon quite dramatically in plian view along the southern sidelines during the Field Battle, but it was really us, and it wasn't very pretty. (I even found a few pics of that exact fight at www.pennsic.net, including a very good one of the brave and intrepid Llyr Wyndhaven)
In the Friendship Battle, we lined up at the top of the left-side hill, where we were joined by quite a few of our Friends, the mighty Tuchux, the Concusare, (elements of) the House of the Red, the Markland Army featuring Galacia, Duke Sir Snackbar-Ackbar (love that guy), The Head Clan, the Atlantian Lost Boys & Friends, and a host of other friends, both new and old. Together, we all went down the left-side wall right under the castle, where we encountered some very shiny Knowne World Notables, who were slightly tough going. Once we got by them, we rolled up the left side of the army for yet another decisive victory. We had stood there for quite a while before the battle, so those very shiny fellows may have actually been looking for some quality time with us - and that was just what they got! See how we make friends wherever we go?
In camp, little to no drama was encountered, and a great time was had by all. One high point was when Barry wrote a great new song about Anglesey, which we then proceeded to sing at the top of our lungs until very late at night.

Let's put our hands together
for Teagan, Warlord of Anglesey, Diamond Dog Swordbrother, and the bemused
recipient of a Shark's Tooth. Yay Res! Teagan recently led
us to more glory at Kingdom Crusades. It was fun, even I made it
out to watch. Trivia question, who else in Anglesey has received
a Shark's Tooth?
I have updated the links page.
That means I got rid of a lot, added a little, and checked to make sure
everything still connected to something. I updated the Message from
the Warlord. Have you ever noticed how you can turn anything into
an intimidation by adding a "the" to the front of it? It's, THE SEX
for you, my young fellow. I've done a little bit of cleaning up elsewhere
on the page.
If you haven't already noticed
the message board is back up. Has been since about June 20th.
Of course if you haven't noticed that you probably won't be reading this.
Send stuff for the website! If I have to start making things up you
can be sure the lies won't be about *me*.
All Anglesey is abuzz with talk
about the recent deposition of Half-Orc. For those of you who weren't
paying attention he was struck down in a cowardly attack by Galmr and his
thugs whilst reading aloud the text of a pardon absolving the members of
Anglesey of all manner of unsubstantiated allegations. Matters are
a little confused and we have been unable to contact the herald of Half-Orc's
last court (foul play is suspected) but we think what Half-Orc meant to
say was:

Sir Havordh Aeterbani, by right of arms King
of Atlantia, Companion of the Shark's Tooth, Swordbrother of Anglesey,
and a swell fella, does wish all who come by this letter to know that in
consideration for their loyal service in Our late war, for their fine sartorial
taste, in view of the complete lack of evidence and at the humble supplications
of Our close advisors We are minded to pardon the members of the Free Company
of Anglesey, being those celtic men and women who fight in the verdure
tabards bearing an ang or, being a device composed of a fret joined within
a bordure roundel, for any actions they are alleged to have committed prior
to this date, including, but not limited to, disrespect for the Royal Personage
and Crowns of Atlantia, the East and Middle Kingdoms in action, word and
song, misappropriation and relocation of real goods, properties and
persons, on land and sea, public drunkenness, riotous disorder, lewd conduct,
and crimes against nature and sense insofar as these alleged actions have
caused no harm to Our Kingdom or Our most dear and loyal subjects and being
outside the purview of the laws of mundane nations, states, counties and
municipalities. Therefore to this letter of remission We set Our hand, Anno Societatus ...etc |
|
That's what we think and it's
good enough for us. We are assured that a signed copy of this document
exists and we will produce it as soon as the ink dries. In the meantime
we are debating whether the lack of a valid successor means that Atlantia
is now a lawless wilderness to which we should bring the velvet, okay it's
mold but it looks like velvet, covered iron fist of good government or
if we should continue to attempt to perfect deep-fried bacon. Ummmm,
bacon....... Stay tuned for more details as we make them up.
Oh yeah, Pennsic was kinda fun.
So I'm told. By people who were there. Bastards.

The website howls for new material.
Where are the tales of glory? The alleged incidents and accidents
of daily life (suitably modified to protect the alleged participants)?
Woe. Woe, I say.
The message board continues to
be non-functional and to those who complain I say "It's free". Hopefully
the good folks at bytecenter will get it up sometime in the near future.
If you need to contact Anglesey in the meantime go to the "Hire Anglesey"
area and send an e-mail.
Pennsic approaches! Are
you authorized? Rumors of respectability continue to dog us like
bad dreams, encouraged, no doubt, by recent actions by certain members
and former members. Let us put these rumors in an unmarked grave
and dance drunkenly upon it in the light of a burning wicker man.
As always suggestions, gripes,
death-threats, blah, blah, blah should go to: jjordan_12@hotmail.com.
