    The establishment of ARCONIA

    yes, a new country! I need advice on a form
    of government for the newly established country of ARCONIA. heads of state and
    cabinet members will be appointed.
    well......hopefully .....depending on the type of government we have. We have some very intelligent people here in fencing.net
    that could fill some very important positions.

    mergs.......military(tactician)
    attila......also military(combat training)
    Zelda.......(queen, maybe)
    mango........ not sure
    space_cadet...scholar
    dark t.......hmmmmmmmm
    shadow.......honey, you can pick your
    position

    hmmmm "ill get back to this later"

    ..........................the arcon

    I trust that the only weapons used will be swords. Personally, I'd be partial to bringing back gladii. Who's going to be your national armorer? You'll also need a national makes-fun-of-non-fencers-er. If that made any sense.

    I have two questions:

    1) Arconia? Is that anything like "Otisburg"?

    2) Space_cadet as scholar? Let me out of this crazy country! http://www.fencing.net/forum/biggrin.gif

    You can also log on to http://www.juga.com and apply for virtual yugoslavian citizenship. Everyone's accepted.

    No scarlet, if mango is in the lead several things could happen:
    fencers would be encouraged to participate in government, but you'd have to take my ink-blot test first.

    I King of Arconia do hereby declare that there will be a contest between Mango and
    Zelda. Let it be known that the winner of this contest WILL be 'Queen of Arconia'.

    I Arcon welcome the citizens of
    fencing.net to give their input
    and suggestions for this contest.


    Arcon has spoken "make it so"....ok so its
    not original......
    ........................king arcon

    MHS, I need your help. Seek out the first
    legal steps we need to take to form a country
    and report to me if you will. And will you accept the position as the Nations Researcher? Im not at all sure what this titles official name is(within a monarch
    system of gov. that is).
    thank you..................arcon of arconia

    I think Zelda and Mango should thumb wrestle.... or should I say thumb fence... yes, that's it... they could attach little toothpicks (the pointy kind)... I'm afraid we'd have to judge it dry, though... getting five people in there to judge might be a bit of an issue too....

    Seeing as the toothpick isn't suited for sabre, it would have to be an epee bout - afterall, the thumb isn't target in foil http://www.fencing.net/forum/biggrin.gif

    Well, I haven't had the chance to try armoring (?) yet, and so I don't think I could do much with Arcon's foil...however, I think I could figure it out pretty quickly, and be the armorer. If not, I could be some kind of national runner, delivering messages back and forth (until the national tech-support guy gets the phone system working).
