So, I have submitted our camping footprint for Battlemoor, but there is one question that I have not yet answered:

“Would you be willing to host one or two individual campers who are new to the SCA or to Battlemoor?”

 

Would we?

 

Are we willing to throw the dice on whoever the land dudes want to throw in with us?

My thoughts:

·         We already have a few outsiders with us.  They are mostly known quantities and shouldn’t be too disruptive, but adding more might become an issue

o   We will very likely have Nancy, Her +1, and Fox. (Anyone remember the name of the +1?)

·         There is really no plus side for us in this, other than we might meet some awesome people.

·         This would be a nice thing to do for both the Barony and for the newcomers

o   The newcomers would be pretty insulated from the Dillholes

·         The newcomers may in fact be old-hat SCA Dillholes, which would lead to conflict

o   We ain’t wilting flowers though, so if they wanted to be difficult, it could be pretty amusing

·         But this is Battlemoor, which we may not want to screw with

Nancy's+1 is Lilliana.

On the note of newcomers, I personally don't have a problem with it. If they are on our meal plan that is an easy thing to take care of. However, if this event also gets rained out, we were pretty tight for space in the beer hall at Inlandish and this could be 3-4 more bodies to keep dry. Barring that, I have no objection of rolling the dice, we're pretty good at making assholes feel unwanted and unwelcome in our camp, if it comes to that.

I hesitantly am okay with fostering newbies.

I just hope they aren't like those random drunk fucks that wandered into our camp the last night of Inlandish.  Because fuck that shit.

Another thought- what happens to the newbs if we decide to bail on Battlemoor because weather?

Also allergies.  We want to make sure that this surprise newbie fits the allergy profile of the house.

[Jesse McMinn]

Oh shit, I forgot about them. I'm hesitantly okay with people, but do we get an exit strategy as well? Battlemoor is a big deal, and I'd hate to have a random shitbag ruin things. 

The other option is keep Rainy liquored up the whole time so she can tank them. ;)

[Santiago]

Hmm. I'm kinda on the fence. My instinct is to hold off and doc our own thing, but my better nature says, sure let's do it! and try to make it fun. 

At the end of the day, I think I land as follows: 

Camp in our area? Sure why not. Orphan shows up at troll and needs somewhere to go, why the heck not. 

Be on our meal plan? Gah no what a giant PITA. 

[Jesse McMinn]

Hmm, that's a fair point. Opening up the meal plan leads to all sorts of heartache. 

[Santiago]

The more I look at it and think about it, I'm okay with random people hanging out under their own steam. 

"Hosting" people I've never met, a complete wild card? Maaaan, I'm on vacation! 

[Jon Flannery]

Yeah.  That seems about right to me.

FYI, the landocrat is on top of it.

 

This was the response I got from A&S about brewing:
“Hi Bjorn,

 

I found the info on Facebook -just search Battlemoor VI and the Brewing competition info is just a short scroll down. Bethany Stephens (not sure of SCA name.) is coordinating. Hope this gives you what you need.

 

Lydia”

 

So, at the very least, both emails were responded to within a couple hours.

Which is hella nice.

I have you down as a group. Showing up for the cleanup days will help a lot since you can walk around with me and show me what you need.

Greetings from the House Blár-Kista.

 

We will once again be attending Battlemoor this year, with what looks like 9 participants.

Our tents:

1 large Kitchen Pavillion 10’x20’

1 sunshade 8’x15’

2 large period pavilions 15’ round

2 large mundane tents 10’x14’

2 medium mundane tents 10’x9’

1 small mundane tent 6’x8’

 

Last year our campsite was down to 3 people, due to conflicts, but the ground we camped at Battlemoor 4 (and 3) would work.

 

Also, I’m not sure how you’re allocating land, but we had planned to come for the cleanup days this year (regardless). 

If that gives some consideration for what land is “up for grabs” then I’d like to know what options are available.
