I prefer splitting hares. It's more nutritious and delicious.

Hmmmm...since that was not my case, I guess that would make sense.
The Assassin Game, if played at every event as an ongoing thing,
in some modern Assassin Game style (armbands and stickers, etc.)
would be inappropriate. So would paintball, tractor pulls, and
infomercials. Assassins who inflict their game on everyone at
events whether or not their presence is wanted would be inappropriate.
So would people who wanted to streak naked or sing Alanis Morrisette
songs during court.

I am certain that I made the point that I would stand by ready
to provide assassination-appropriate music should a recreation
assassin ever occur!

And I think Victoria's post about appropriateness was like
reading sunlight; if you missed it, I can forward it to you.

Wow! Another less hair!

An excellent decision. We should attempt to extend that to all of our
debate opponents.

I certainly accept having it published in the Acorn as informing
folks who might have concerns. Going to the autocrat the Day Of is
a little too late, in my book.

It appears that the UBAG is interested in a sort of one-time
fundraiser event (unless I read this all wrong) for the Chirurgeons.
Certainly, wanting to aid the chirurgeons is a noble goal.
I think it will be way cool if they can combine the research
they currently have underway with this desire. I would certainly
pay to see a theatrical presentation or a living history or a 
reenactment or like that :^). And Black Diamond certainly has LONG
roots in dramatic presentation; no doubt a group springing
from those hills would be able to do a better production of
this sort than ANyone around :^) (who, me, biased?)
