Field Lists

originally published in September, 2002, written by Dame Marcella Visconti, IMoRL Many of you may know that Imperial Wars have, in the recent past, begun the practice of creating "Field Lists." This is a fairly new practice where the person running the War combat and the present Imperial Physiker keep a list of members participating in marshalling and waterbearing. This has helped to confirm participations in addition to sign-ins. As we all know sometimes members will neglect to sign up for marshalling or waterbearing and participate but miss out on points because they were not on the sign-in list. The field listing was started to keep track of who participates, so they may get the points they deserve. Waterbearing, physiking and marshalling are hot dirty jobs and no one wants to miss out on their points. The field participations for marshals and waterbearers may not have been made into a written list for Imperial War West 2003. So this year we will use the traditional sign-in lists. However, if there are members who did not sign-in and got roped into waterbearing or marshalling and need their points recorded we will add on their names for articipation points as needed. The word of two knights will be used in addition to the sign-ins to confirm field participations at this past Imperial War West. So, I respectfully request of Crowns, could you please have announced at your next event: "if a member participated as a field marshal, waterbearer or physiker and did not sign in at the Imperial War for that participation please contact their local Roll minister to get on a list to be sent to the Imperial Office of Rolls and Lists." Thank you so very much, we do not want anyone who worked this past war to miss out on their deserved points.
