After years of oppression, ridicule, and harassment from 'The Man' it is time to strike back. It is time for the Ninja to rise up against the establishment. And to help encourage that sort of thing I will provide a free flight to Clan (up to $400) for the person to capture Emperor Zumaticus PuppikickerusToDeathus in the most embarassing and/or compromising position while they are dressed as a Ninja.

All captures must be photographed and posted on the web in all their glory to be considered eligible. All captures must happen at Rakis BEFORE Zumat steps down as emperor of the Iron Mountains. Furthermore, Zumat is not eligible for the prize, and staged pictures with a tame Zumat are likewise ineligible.

Extra scoring points will be awarded for Ninjas tea-bagging Zumat, administering a wedgie, or capturing him during extremely public situations.

Finally, Zumat is an endangered species, so please don't kill the Zumat. He is one of the few remaining on earth, and the chances of him succesfully reproducing are almost nil.

The contest will end one week after Rakis is over, at which point I will choose from amongst the entrants and distribute the prize to them. -Brennon

Rising Winds

  • Following discussion about sexism with regard to Amtgard, Tugen has asked the Rising Winds list how they think that the kingdom should, in the future, choose its knights.
  1. Do you believe that the King should have the power to Knight who he wants with the "suggestion" of the Knights circle?
  2. Do you believe the power to Knight someone should sit with the Knights circle 100%?
  3. Do you believe the power to Knight someone should be with the Knights circle but the Monarch can veto it during their reign?

Several other suggestions have been submitted, such as allowing a popular vote of the populace. See the Rising Winds mailing list for details.

April 2nd-9th

Good evening all,

Risingwinds-1.gif

This is kind of a tough subject to bring up, but after careful deliberation I think its time.

No fanfare, no big lead in speech. Here it is:

In compliance with State and Federal Laws and our legal Contract with Amtgard Inc., as of the end of this current reign, the Rising Winds will become a static crown Kingdom.

The legal Kingdom Seat of the Rising Winds has been and ever shall be Gryphons Perch. After September's Coronation, only residents and attending members of the Kingdom Seat(GP) will be allowed to hold Kingdom Office, participate in Kingdom level votes, and be active in the Kingdom CoK.

All the necessary corpora changes will be posted in time to be voted on at the June Midreign.

I know this is going to cause a huge influx of questions, comments, outrage and anger, but please be calm and let the officers and BOD members work through this. Hell, some of the current BOD members outside of GP weren't fully aware this was coming. This level of legal compliance comes as a result of how our NFP status was structured and submitted to the IRS. Amtgard Inc only recognizes the Kingdom Seat in any Kingdom, and all legal decisions of the group can only voted and acted upon by members of that 'park'.

Thank you all for your patience and attentiveness in reading this. Its not easy for me to be the message bearer, but I've been here since this Kingdom was 5 guys in bedsheets swinging carpet covered PVC at each other, and the burden of seniority falls upon me to break this Kingdom back down into its basic components once again.

If any parks wish to leave sponsorship of the Kingdom since your members will no longer have voting rights here, I personally will recommend you highly to whatever Kingdom you wish to transfer sponsorship to.

In Sadness,
Sir Brock Argenta
