Just read that all for the first time...Your not banning underage drinking. Your banning....The list of people your not banning is shorter. Night's Watch(3/4) and Mycridia. If this minors rule goes through those are your only guaranteed comers. Gates and war are great first timer events. There would be a better response from banning alcohol and that would still cause problems. No Dagorhir is not a rave, however this event is a camping trip for some. To ban minors and not underage drinking will make this event go in the red. Dominion will lose money. I've heard about things people have done to get money to start an event. I wouldn't advise this event as an investment. I understand banning illegal activities but the level of this ban is suicidal for any large multi-day Dagorhir event. If this realy does go through then ban pot on the same level. I'm sure Night's Watch will have fun fighting the five people who can afford to come from out of state that are 21+ and dont smoke pot or use any other illegal substance....No offense to Night's Watch You guys know I love you...even if you are a bunch of goody two shoes.... To clarify if this goes through I will not pay to fight at an event that is going to downsize itself. I love Gates and War. I have met many people to fight and to call friend. Ragnarök last I heard was moving farther away and costing more. Why cant we unite to try and make something equal in size? Instead we ruin what we do have. We are the Midwest the West and the South. Or am I wrong and this event belongs only to the people who run it. It was my childish belief that an event was decided by the people who fought in it. I know it's stupid of me to think that all the realm leaders in these areas could get together and organize any one thing cause as humans your all too selfish and untrusting to do that. That's human nature sadly... irrational and poorly thought out... oh well I've posted worse

There are two seperate issues here, and somehow they keep getting thrown in a blender together and set on frappe. What comes out bears little resemblance to the two issues that went in.
One is that federal and state drinking laws will be strictly enforced and violators will be booted from the site. All I can say to this is "Hooray!" Dagorhir does not need the sort of legal trouble that underage drinking can bring. Nor does Dagorhir need the sort of legal trouble that illegal substance use can bring. You don't have to agree with the law, but it's still the law. Dagorhir and the local chapters have to cover their arses, so be polite and do your law thwarting elsewhere.
The other issue is the bit about requiring the presence of legal guardians for minors. Several alternative proposals have been presented, and they're being considered. Give the folks in charge some time to go over their new options.
In the end, I'd hate to see minors excluded because their parents don't want to attend. I hope something can be worked out. But if the underage drinkers and their enablers decide to stay home, I won't miss them.

So here's the update on the minor attendance/ drinking situation: 1. A minor (anyone under the age of 18) will have a special waiver (as yet to be finalized) that will give someone 21+ tempoary guardianship of them for the course of the event. A guardian will be allowed to have 3 minors under their guardianship at the event. 2. Any minor caught drinking will be removed from the event ALONG WITH their guardian, yes this also means that any other minor that is with said guardian will have to leave too. This is not meant as a punishment to minors that have not broken drinking rule/law, if your guardian is gone you have no guardian there (this is meant to help with policing each other). 3. Anyone of age caught giving a minor alchohol will be removed along with said minor( refer to 2 at this point).
Again, this is not meant to punish those minors not breaking rule/law just an extra measure to try and help keep OUR (yes I mean ALL of Dagorhir in this) events safe and stop another situation as what happened at War from happening again.
I believe that's all that we decided last night, if not I'm sure one of the Nobility will correct whatever I've managed to scew up/ forget.
