This week's heavy fighting practice will be at the Castle, along with the Harvest Revel and Barony meeting (see below). Practice will start at 2 and run till 6pm, as usual. Also as usual, please email Lady Sumayya <a href="mailto:ironkey@debatablelands.org" target="_blank">ironkey@debatablelands.org</a>, if you need to borrow armor, so that she will bring enough for you.<br>
Next week (11/18), and the weeks following, heavy practice will be at the Pittsburgh Chinese Church in the North Hills, from 2-6pm.<br><br>We will also be running a marshal in training program for heavy fighting
over the next few months, at our regular practices. Marshals enable us
to play our game (and to continue playing it) by helping keep us safe,
legal, and having fun. Marshals are also needed at practices, events,
and wars so that fighting can happen. Many others have served to enable
us to fight - this is a great opportunity to give back and to take on
more leadership. If you are interested in training to become a marshal,
please let me know so I can include you in the program. Email me a <a href="mailto:knightmarshal@debatablelands.org" target="_blank">knightmarshal@debatablelands.org</a>, or talk with me at practice.<br><br>In service,<br>

What's that? Did I say... PIE CONTEST??<br><br>What is the Harvest Revel without the annual Pie Contest? A pie-less revel, that's what! And who wants that? Not I! By the very special request of His Excellency of the Debatable Lands, Baron Liam, the categories for the Pie contest are: </div>
</div><div><div style="line-height:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;display:inline">1. Sweet, </div></div><div><div style="line-height:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;display:inline">
2. Savory, and </div></div><div><div style="line-height:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;display:inline">3. Period Recipe. </div></div><div><div style="line-height:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;display:inline">
<br></div></div><div><div style="line-height:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;display:inline">The entrant picks the category their pie fits into when they get there, and the populace decides the winner (ties broken by the judges) by token vote. Everyone who wants to eat pie gets three tokens, and you pick your favorite in each category, then put your token in that pie's cup, one for each category. Keep in mind that the "rules" are quite..ahem...lax... when it comes to exactly what qualifies as a pie. There will be a winner in each category, and they will win... GLORY!! Also, maybe a little something something else. Have fun, folks! Pie Contest starts at Noon, winners announced around 3-3:30ish pm.<br>
<br>And in that spirit, I officially present to you the super-special-bonus-Hilda-<u></u><span style="display:inline-block"></span>category for the pie contest: QUANTITY. That's right, enter your pie into one of the three regular categories, and it's automatically entered to win the special category of QUANTITY. What does that mean? I'm not really sure...what can you come up with? Interpret away! There will be a special surprise for the winner of QUANTITY...a special surprise, indeed... hee hee hee.<br>
<br>Note that this meeting is garb-free, unless you feel like it. Also, the Steelers game does not conflict. I look forward to seeing you all at Barony Meeting Sunday!</div></div><div><div style="line-height:16px;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;display:inline">
