Discourse: Faith Based Player Event

Illithidbix · Discourse: Faith Based Player Event

[Unfortunately I think the majority of the members of this forum are probably disqualified on grounds of being
either Fallen, Heathen (sorry "Native") or a Heathen Deamon (Sorry Loyal Native Eidolon)
However for everyone left, here is an advert for a player event you may be interested in...

This is an advertisement for “Discourse” the a Church based player event that will be running in February 2007.

The premise of the event is:
“A Gathering of the Faiths of the Churches of the True Gods for a seminar of theological discourse”

It is being organised by Isaac Varas and the Angel Mardocai, and hosted by the Arethusa branch of the Church of the Merchant.
It will be a chance for members of the various Churches, associated devotees and loyal Eidolons to gather together to discuss theology and religious issues. This would be both active stuff relating to the New World, magic, the Fallen, the Awakened, the Natives and their Gods, and also more general issues of the Old World faiths.
A lot of these issues many of us would like to sit down and discuss at the main events yet find ourselves rushed off our feet instead and rarely having a spare moment to do it. In line with the rules for player events it would also be a chance for the Churches to meet away from some of the ties of secular politics. There will be a mixture of formal seminars, lectures and debates along with the opportunity to chat IC in a less formal manner.

The usual restrictions on actions suitable for player events will apply. (see here http://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/events/nonpdevents.asp )

The main audience are members of the churches and loyal Eidolons, although other devotees of the Old World Faiths are also welcome. We are also open to players playing secondary characters if their primary characters are not suitable for the event.
Essentially, if you're a part of the religious game, or are interested in it and you're not the part being hunted down and smote by the church groups, you're welcome to come along!

Site:
The event will be held at the York scout activity center (website here:http://uk.geocities.com/snowball_plantation/ ) on Saturday 24th February till Sunday 25th.
The campsite on the outskirts of Stockton-on-the-Forest, about 5 miles from York City center and accessible from York train station by both taxi and bus (the Leeds-Scarborough Yorkshire ‘Coastliner’ service http://www.yorkshirecoastliner.co.uk/ )
The site is hired from Friday evening until Sunday afternoon and so the accommodation is there for those who would find such an arrangement more convenient.

Venue:
Time in will start Saturday afternoon around 2/3pm (when the majority of players are ready), and will time out Sunday morning. (Exact times flexible to the desires of the players.)

Accommodation:
Indoor accommodation provided for 39 people , ( 2 rooms with 12 bed spaces, [6 double bunks in each]; 3 rooms each with 4 beds; and 1 room [with on-suite toilet and shower] for disabled persons). Mattresses provided, although it is requested that you provide your own sleeping bags.
There will also be camping space for additional players at a reduced rate.

Cost:
Booking forms available here: (insert booking form)
Until 25th December: £20
After 25th December until February 10th: £25
Paying deadline up until the 10th of February.
Included in the cost is food in the form of a buffet and there will be a selection of simple hot food.

The event coincides with the Foreign Field LARP fair (http://forums.rule7.co.uk/Topic1720-32-1.aspx) which is on the route for many people traveling to York via the M1 from the South, hence it would be a good opportunity to visit both events (either on the way up, or the return on Sunday).

Private message or email me your email address and we shall send a booking form.

As amusing as it would surely be for us lot to turn up in the eidolonic equivalent of pantomime drag, I think we should perhaps politely not touch this one with a barge pole...

Illithidbix

Due to various irritating problems relating to junk mail filters. The Booking form for the event is now available from this webpage (kindly supplied by my archenemy).

The cheap booking deadline has also been extended until the 19th of January (£20).

On a side note, you still interested Bacon?

Bacon

I am still interested, but I have no more holidays from work until April, and I'm trying to save up to buy a house in which I can keep the evil Aticus Fitzwarren's physrep.

I'm sorry to say that as much as I want to go, I won't know if I can afford to turn up until the last minute, so it probably isn't worth saving me a space...

Illithidbix

Thats a shame. Sad

Well, I'll inform you close to the event whether there is any space available (in all likelihood there will be).
There are a few individuals who are in a similar position and whilst it is preferable for us to know (and receive payment) before the booking deadline, we can cope with a few people paying on the gate.

Illithidbix

A reminder that the cheap booking deadline ends in a weeks time.

Also, it has been confirmed that there will be an active Ref presence at this event, hence Discourse has been upgraded from a player event to plot event.
Whilst the IC venue will remain the same, there will now be more freedom of action for players as well as full support for prayers and supplications.

If players want to request lammies for the event, note down the Lammie ID and item type and bring this to the event, where they can be supplied.

Aestar

Interesting...

Ezhno Ohanzee

does this mean its still a closed event or can it be opened out now as us non-religious types are not hampered by no ref'ness

Illithidbix

Aestar

So...who's up for this then? Seriously? As in 'hell yeah, I'm going to go to this deadly place full of people who may or may not want to kill me on sight'? I'm a definite yes, assuming that the decision is made to open the event up with the potential for violent confrontation (and hence not be taking the piss by turning up).

Ezhno Ohanzee

considering many Natives are very good freinds with said highly Pious types various faiths then hell yes! And if not the snakes will bring the special brews :p

Player pack with IC invitation has been sent out by email.

Please inform us if you haven't received both parts (one with attachments, one without).

For the uninvited, I presume you'll have gotten hold of an invitation through some cunning means of either beating up a random wemic who's wandering to the event, or else sent a letter under a cunning false name like Lady Aestar-Hunington-Smythe of the Flembic Colony.

Illithidbix

Well that went rather well.

I certainly had alot of fun and have got alot of positive feedback.

I think it'd have gone rather differently if Will and Bacon had been able to turn up. Shocked

I would say, I'd be up for running another event next year however, I suspect that I'll be playing a different character by then.

Bacon

Noooo! What will we do without that frikkin demon hunter? What will I do without the Arethusa and their glorious trade in cake for divine favours!

I'll confess that I can't feel guilty about not coming to your event any more. I had a horrible bout of man-flu this weekend, which would have meant I'd have had to miss it even if I had booked.

Glad to hear it went well. Smile

If Varas doesn't get ninjed out of existence by Justice next event I'll be seriously worried one of us wasn't doing our job properly. Razz
