June Announcements (6.21)

6.21 - FRIDAY NIGHT NPC REQUEST

Hello everyone!

Now that I am mostly functional, I want to write a bit about Friday night which is Agelong. I’m going to pull back the curtain a little bit so that you guys can understand what is going on.

For the first bit, this Agelong will be very different than ones in the past. Instead of Elves vs. Orcs, we are having Elves/Orcs/people vs Rising Dawn. This is a protect the VIP’s style mission and have a lot of story behind it. This is also going to roll into what the next year’s agelong will be which is so far titled “The Hunt.” I won’t give much more information on that, but it’s something that I feel will be a very unique and fun experience moving forward.

Field will not be closed for the night. In Agelong’s past, we have made the whole field closed so that you needed to participate in the event as either PC or NPC. We have had some where it was partially closed where only few people could sit in one area. But at this point, it is going to be open so that if you don’t want to participate, you don’t have to. Enjoy hearing about the stories.

I will need NPC’s Friday night. It is always appreciated for those that help and will help serve the greater good. My hope is roughly post dinner till about 11, with some different stuff happening after that. Agelong used to go all night, but for various reasons (safety being a major one) this is not happening.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I will try my best to answer them. I am still a little foggy with things as I’m working through getting better with the sickness, but I’m doing much better than before. Thanks everyone and I can’t wait to see you out!

6.12 - Skills Information About Weeklong

Hello everyone!
I hope you are all doing well and getting excited for the upcoming weeklong event that is just around the corner!

I am writing to let the membership know that in keeping with the long standing tradition, the limit for teaching and learning skills will be 8 with a single signout at the end of the event!

This means you will be able to participate in 8 teaching lessons and 8 learning lessons! Either in individual lessons or group lessons!

We believe this will create more roleplay situations and give more opportunities for players to create some of their own fun during the long event!

See you all at the event!
Glen “Rath” Adkins
CBM1st

6.12 - A letter from the Treasurer

There seems to be some confusion. If you are new to the club and Weeklong is your first event then the event is free as this SOP currently applies.

K1G-001 K1 SOP 23.02 8.1 First Event. To provide prospective members the ability to familiarize themselves with the activities of K1, the first event a person attends in that person’s lifetime is free.

RPOE are excluded from this SOP as well as any special event such as "Winter Feast".

Thank you,
Maria KGE Treasurer

6.11 - Missing Payment Arrangements

Were you super excited to get to larp and forgot to make sure you paid or make payment arrangements before hitting the field of play? Are you unsure if your payment went through online or did you just simply forget?

Please reach out to the Treasurer to make payment arrangements and or pay the missing dues / event fees by Wednesday, June 14th.

Thank you,
Maria KGE Treasurer

6.11 - From the Desk of CBM1st

Hello fellow past and potential new members,

With the June 2023 Weeklong event rapidly approaching, we wanted to pass along some very important information to everyone:

If you are currently not a member and you are considering attending the June Weeklong event, it is very important that you get your character information submitted to CBM@kanar.club no later than Thursday June 15th 8:00PM! If you are unable to do so, you will still be able to play but you may be asked to NPC or pick a premade character until such time that staff can assist you.

If you are a past member and you currently have a legacy character sheet (Pre-2020), your character sheet must be converted to the current version BEFORE you can play that character on field. The conversion process is somewhat tedious and can be quite time consuming so we ask instead that you reach out to CBM@kanar.club no later than Thursday June 15th 8:00PM to get your sheet converted to the current version. Otherwise you may choose to play a premade character (1st Level) or NPC the event instead.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, We can’t wait to see you on field! Your CBM Team!

6.9 - Port-a John cleaning

I just got off the phone with the Disposal company, they had service issues this week and our units did not get cleaned. They hope to have someone out to take care them on Saturday.

Thank you,
Maria KGE Treasurer

6.9 - QM Work Day!

QM will be having a work day on July 1st starting at noon. The goal is to clean up, organize, and inventory the QM shed. All hands welcome. The more the merrier. There's always stuff to be done. If you have any questions feel free to contact staff at qm@kanar.club.

Thank you, QM1 Daniel Miller

6.1 - Photographer on Field

A photographer will be on field during the next Kanar Event, if you aren't familiar with the Photo & Video policy you can read about it on our website at https://kanar.club/blog-posts/photography-and-videography-policy

5.30 - Tag Audits

From the desk of the playmaster.

Starting at the June event tag audits will be performed. Any tags found on a player on the field of play without physical representation will be confiscated and given to the Game Master 1st. These tags will not be returned to the player. The player will also receive a step of disciplinary action.

Temp tags will be ignored for tag audits to provide a reasonable amount of time for players to get physical representation for their newly looted items.

For horses houses and other items that there is no way to have a physical representation you should make paper writs of ownership for them that will act as the physical representation of these items.

Thank you Jeremiah Playmaster 1st

Update to PM clarification log

6/1/2023 You may use a number of similar physreps to represent small items which may be very visually similar to each other (such as potions, alchemies, or raw materials). For instance, you may choose to carry seven small bottles to represent the potions you are carrying, even though you may be carrying ten. In this case, after you have used seven potions of any type, you may not use any more potions until you have left the field of play and returned in order to simulate a trip to retrieve more potions.

This contradicts the k1 tag policy and has to be ignored. All tags on the field of play carried by a player are required to have physical representations with the exception oftags freshly looted from a npc.

Jeremiah, PM1
