We don't want these people spawning.
No, I'm actually the realm leader out here too. I've told him before that on required garb days we have twice a month, he wont be fighting in that stuff. I'd love to see it gone entirely, but we've got a split in the realm out here about whether or not his **** qualifies as garb. Obviously, I don't think it does and I've told him and others on numerous occasions. Guess I gotta stop worrying about losing members, just nut up and say "not on my field"
I might suggest doing what my own realm leaders do to anyone not in garb, whom they don't want fighting with us:
Inform them that technically what we are all doing out there on the field is legally considered 'assault'. Striking another person with a weapon, even if it is constructed of foam, is illegal. That's part of why we sign legal waivers.
You inform the person that you do NOT give them permission to strike you, and if they do so anyways, you will file a lawsuit against them, as they were clearly not following the 'rules' of your sport.

Congratulations; your Realm leaders are losers who've figured out how to cow idiots and kids. Try that **** on someone with a brain sometime.
Maybe it becuase I'm from the getto, but what you guys are doing is snitching.
Calling the cops on some one is being a SNITCH.
Where I come from, that is the lowest thing you can do, unless it is literaly the last resort before murder.
In my neigborhood, snitches get stitches.

Do any of you really think that the cops wouldn't just laugh at you for trying to press charges against some one like this? They should lock YOU up for wasting thier time.
You are saying,"Iam a little * and I'll call the cops on you if you dont wear garb!" What sorry * needs to "go tell on" people?
I was replying to an extreme circumstance that I seem to remember seeing on this board, where a person continued to fight, and was 'ignored' by another player for not having garb. (I read through the entire thread all at once, so it was all still fresh in my head at the time I posted.)
Ignoring this persons attacks would not be 'breaking rules', as BoW requires garb. Thus, a person not in garb is not following the BoW. A person not following the BoW is not following the rules of the game

For the pink...just throw bleach on him. Ruin that ****. Jump on his back and drum on his forehead. SOMETHING.

Lachlan_McClung wrote:No'Vak: I usually have my Duchy Leader's blessing for such silliness. He's desperately afraid of personal confrontation, so it's difficult to get him to talk to people about things like that. This all takes place, mind you, after multiple people have spoken to the person, after they've been fighting for more than a month or two, and after I have personally offered to make them garb for what I assure you is a very small fee.

He's wearing his uniform incorrectly; those pants are part of his uniform. You can't just wear 'part' of your uniform at your leisure whenever you want.
It's not only a punishable offence, but it's extremely disrespectful, and should NOT be allowed.
evil randy wrote:The bad thing about rezzing an old thread? being wrong in your information. There is no rule against wearing pieces of a uniform as civilian attire. Its generally considered stupid, but there is no regulation or instruction against it. In fact, IF someone wanted to wear their entire uniform and the heralds allowed it, there is nothing wrong with that either.
