Hello players, thank you for sticking with us together during the pandemic.
GM and Econ staff would like to announce that any tags expiring during the 2020 season will be automatically considered as valid until January 2022. We know these are unprecedented times and times like these mean that we must be as adroit as possible.
Those who were awarded time sensitive tags for our last physical feast please email the GM at gm@kanar.club with a description of tag awarded by 12/20 for important information regarding feast tournament rewards.
Thank you,
-Steve, GM1
Dear Players,
There has been a lot of question about the 2020 Agelong event, specifically in regards to XP. Here is the solution that we have come up with:
Players who purchased Season Passes for 2020 will be given 70 XP for the June Weeklong event.
Effectively, season pass holders had already purchased tickets for a 10 day event ($40), and per SOP 8.2.3.1 they should gain the XP as though that were a full 10 day event.
We want all of our players to be afforded the same opportunities. As such, non season pass holders will have the ability to purchase a $20 voucher for 42 XP.
Since XP can be gained at 6 XP per day, this makes up for the 7 days we were unable to play, and ensures that those who want this extra XP have paid the same amount as season pass holders.
This XP voucher will be available to purchase through December 31st, 2020, and is to make up for the lack of a full 10 day event.
Season Pass Holders are not eligible to purchase this voucher as they will automatically be granted XP.
These vouchers are limited to one per player.
This allows for all players (season pass holders and non) to catch up to the normal amount of XP one would earn in a year (plus some because of the December 1 day event!).
Please know that this is a one time thing we are doing, and these offers will likely not come up again.
Special times call for special measures. We want to thank you for sticking by Kanar even during a pandemic, and adapting to online events.
Thank you all, stay safe, and we look forward to seeing you next season!

Hello players,
As we approach the end of the year, we are renewing the Cantrell Sponsorship, in memory of the late Shane Cantrell, a long time member of Kanar. This sponsorship covers the cost of a season pass for 2 players per year, decided via essay application and selected by a committee of three. As a reminder, this does not cover the cost of the annual membership dues.
Marcus Schwimmer has already volunteered to be on the committee, and thus I am seeking 2 more individuals, who will read all of the essays and decide together which players will receive the sponsorship for the 2021 season. Committee members must be veteran members of K1, cannot be members of the Board of Directors, and cannot be an applicant.
Please email treasurer@kanar.club if you are interested.
Anyone may apply for the sponsorship. Applications must submit a 750+ word essay describing the following three things:
How the club has benefited you during your time playing
How you are working to give back to the club
Why receiving a season pass at no cost would make a difference to you
Once I receive the essay, I'll redact any identifying information before passing it onto the committee (such as name, place of work, etc), who will then judge each essay on the three categories above, along with general readability, and provide a score.
Entries will be accepted for 1 month (until January 9th, 2021 11:59 pm), beginning immediately, and should be sent to treasurer@kanar.club with a "Cantrell Sponsorship" subject line.
The 2 winners will be announced at Winter Feast.
Essays are ultimately not anonymous and may be quoted in part or whole by KGE for club purposes. Please let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to see many entries this year!
— Karigan
KGE Treasurer
Update:
Thank you to everyone who expressed interest in sitting on the committee of this sponsorship! I received a lot of emails, and thus felt it was only fair to draw names through an online program. Our committee members will be Marcus Schwimmer, Alisha McDevitt, and Stephen Whitaker.
Once per year, we award a Season Pass to two players who write an essay describing the positive effects of Kanar on their life, how they are giving back to the game as a player, and how such a sponsorship would help meet their financial needs. This sponsorship is managed by the Sponsorship Committee, which is under the Treasurer’s direction.
Committee Membership: The committee should consist of the Treasurer and three volunteers. These volunteers must be veteran members of K1, and may not be a member of the Board of Directors or an applicant for the sponsorship. Members may be removed at any time at the Treasurer’s discretion.
Applications: The Treasurer should post a call for essays soon after the November event. Essays should be 750 words or longer and submitted directly to the Treasurer’s official email address. Essays must be received within one month of the date the call for essays was issued. The Treasurer will then redact any necessary information from the essays and forward them to committee volunteers.
Voting: This process needs to be established, it was not necessary as of January 2020 due to the inaugural year only receiving two essays that met the minimum word guidelines.
Awarding: Winners should be announced at the Winter Feast. Their Season Pass should be recorded on the ACU List for the next year, along with notes about why it was granted, and notes should be made in the Treasurer’s Log. This does not waive their requirement to pay the Annual Membership Dues.
