PENNED FROM THE DESK OF MAYOR WINFIELD - February 17, 2006
Hail my friends,
The Chesapeake Olympics started this week throughout our Shard with three weeks of events. PaxLair is hosting some of them with many people of PaxLair on different facet "Teams" to include Felucca, Trammel, Malas, and Tokuno. I am personally on the Felucca Team of course.
I'm highly encouraged these Olympics will help bring a little bit of unity to our Shard. I personally thank Terence Duff and Lawrence Duff for bringing us these great opportunities.
I turn my thoughts today to the art of Diplomacy in the Realm. It is an interesting and very satisfying endeavor. It can also be very painful at times.
Many people conduct diplomacy when forming alliances and cities and do it without even knowing so. Diplomacy helps make our community become more understood, increases our involvement across many areas, creates opportunities for leadership, and helps give a sense of depth and purpose to our "realistic" environment.
Since Diplopmacy is the primary reason I live in this Realm, I am starting another diplomatic mission. I don't know where this will lead me yet, but I have a yearning to once again travel around and meet many people.
So if you see me or my Minister of Diplomacy Jasper in the area, we welcome some friendly conversation.
Dragonspeed!
Winfield, Mayor of PaxLair
