Canadians at ECC

Subject: First CanAm -- Canadian deadline

For those listers who are planning to attend GZG ECC, or who know
people who are planning to attend--

The Full Thrust battle between Americans and Canadians is presently scheduled
for Sunday morning. Right now we have sign ups for 4
Americans... no Canadians.   If the Canadian contingent doesn't
manifest enough valor to take the field by Feb 1st, then I will declare the
American team to be Unopposed Victors With Primo Bragging Rights on February
2nd.

[Tomb] The Ottawa contingent will be thin this year. Incoming packets of
humanity will be disrupting otherwise attended events. I know myself and Jim
are coming down and I just had some word last night of another friend from
Kingston who wants to go with us. I'm not sure who else from the Great White
North will be attending this year (Jerry, I'm surprised you haven't signed
up for the Can-Am...) that is an FTer. I'm an SG2er with limited FB FT
background. I don't normally play much FT.

HOWEVER

I'm slated to play in Stuart's bug hunt, but I'd hate to let the Maple Leaf
down. If you have no Canadians by Feb 01, I will withdraw from the SG2 game in
order to defend our national interests. But if I have to do that, I might be a
wee bit less gentle with my US brethren than I normally would....
;)

Consider that your gauntlet will not be ignored... I look at 4:1 odds as not
being outnumbered but rather having a target-rich environment....

I wish that I could go to ECC, but I also need to save my paid holidays for an
incoming packet of humanity. Ahh, but to leave the frigid north among my peers

I had been intending to come up until last month. In fact, I had signed up for
some events.

However, due to personal reasons, I will not be attending.

I can't help visualizing "incoming packets of humanity" as artillery ammo for
someone with a particularly skewed sense of what "live ammo"
