Greetings unto the populace of Our Great and Mighty Empire,
After much discussion among the Court, the Empire has decided NOT to work merchant Security at Rag this year. Between low attendance and the issues We had last year, We feel it would be best for the Empire as a whole to not take on more than We can chew and focus on having a good time and bonding with each other. I think everyone can agree that last year was particularly rough, and as a result We have lost members and are losing the bond that holds us together.
Before you worry about our spot at Rag, I have already spoken to the heads of Rag. They do not think We should lose our spot this year, or in the future, especially if We can have a decent number of folks pre-reg. (hint hint PRE-REG
)
However, We do camp on merchant land, so at any time, the merchants can decide that they need that space and boot us out. We may also need to share that space with another camp, especially if another group decides to pick up security in place of us. Also, that area has been re-zoned to no longer be a 'quiet area'. I have already asked a number of the parents in camp if this will become an issue, and it should not for the time being.
Despite this uncertain future, We feel that this was the best course of action for the Empire. It means We can spend time together during Rag, fighting together, feasting together, partying together, and most importantly, building our bond as a group and family.
While this does not mean camp duties go away (kitchen help, camp clean up, basic camp security), I sincerely hope this will remove a great weight and burden from the populace's shoulders and minds and We can go back to how things should be; a wonderful family of well dressed, hard-fighting Vikings who know how to have a hell of a good time.
Please feel free to post here, or contact me privately, with any questions/comments/concerns you may have.
Glory to the Empire.
In love and service,
HRM Ilariia Bulochnika
Dronning & Keeper of the Keys
(Wilhelm, please make this an announcement)
