Copypasta from my post on the Nat'l Boards:
I'm starting a club at my college (Longview), and I have to beat out these other EFGs that "wanna boffer." So I'm writing out this Student Council-required "Constitution".
Some questions flitting through my mind:
How to overcome the argument Student Council will inevitably give me about "hitting" people with weapons of any sort, even foam.
Defining what "eject or exclude" means in the physical sense, as it relates to revoking a member's membership in the club -- ie, "What will you do? Wave a foam sword at them and threaten to bop them if they don't go?"
How to get a sponsor, which I imagine going like this: "What's boffer? Hitting people with foam swords? HAHAHA No." Basically, how do I make it sound inviting to a college professor to come hang out for a few hours while students run around on a campus field.
One of the things I have to complete for our "Constitution" is mentioning our parent/affiliated group:
"Section 1: Name of parent or affiliated group." -- is this "Dagorhir Battle Games" and then I reference the webiste?
"Section 2: define power and purpose of affiliated group to your group" -- Basically, how do I get the idea across to them that Dagorhir and its rules weren't my idea, but that it's a nationally established and recognized set of rules that my group will conform to.
"Section 3: Financial relationship" -- HAHAHAH! I'd like to see a Dagorhir Official's face: "Oh PLEEZ could I have some money for my chapter?" lawlz! I'll probably just say "no financial relationship; we do not donate in a financial capacity, they do not grant us funds." <--is this factual?
I would suppose that's enough to be going on with. Any help, plz?
