[Ansteorra] Fee Increase and other Business...

[ld.blackmoon]

greetings

 lol, probably better run and hide, there's a lot of guys with sticks ; )
but just to play devils advocate, if you instituted a $1.00 per entry per 
tournament for fighters, then by rights , shouldn't you also add $1.00 per 
entry for a& s, $1.00. per entry for rapier, $1.00 for missile activities 
,and $3.00 non activity fee for those not participating in any official 
activity ? and possibly even $ 10.00 per entry to crown tourney lists ??
but wait , wouldn't that also open the field to paying an extra $5.00 per 
year in order to be eligible to receive any awards  that year ?
with .33 cents of every dollar going to corporate,.33 cents going to 
kingdom, and .33 cents going to the local group ??
wow, sounds like a buffet, for rich people ; )

Be Safe , Be Happy, Have Fun

Agreed.

I wonder, though, why we have the surcharge WHERE we have it.

Corporate REALLY wants us to have newcomers.

Corporate REALLY wants/needs more money.

It seems like the NMS fee for non-members is a battle between the two. We 
either discourage new people from coming and maybe get some funds, or not 
get some funds and get more new people. I know that $3-$5 doesn't sound like 
much, but when you're a parent or a college student, it's a lot of money. 
After all, $3 is almost 20 packages of Ramen!

Is there not a different place altogether where we can put a surcharge? 
Maybe $1 per entry, per tournament, for fighters? *ducks and runs*

Why is there such an effort to pretend that a surcharge imposed by the 
corporation is not a surcharge imposed by the corporation?

It isn't a temporary membership, and doesn't function like one. It isn't a 
members discount, and doesn't function like one. It isn't a variable site 
fee, and doesn't function like one.

Yes, we'd like the SCA to be more welcoming of newcomers. And yes, of course 
the SCA would be more welcoming if we didn't charge more for invitees, but 
we do, and political spin cannot make that look like anything else.

It's a surcharge. It really is. Let's commit ourselves to telling the truth.
