[Ansteorra] Water Bearing at GW and in general

[Michelle Dodd]

While it is a wonderful thing that Gulf War is organized for water bearing, there is nothing to stop people from organizing a local "Water Bearing Guild". A guild would have the organization without the bureaucracy. No reports to write and turn in on time. It would probably still have the same people volunteering and teaching within the guild form.

> The same way we do feasts. The SCA does not do feasts. Autocrats ask individuals to arrange feasts. They are not required, they are volunteer and individually organized. They are not organized by The SCA and  so they are not regulated at mundane levels. So, The SCA will not be liable for meeting and paying for the costs of mundane regulation.

But The SCA will not organize it so it will not be mundanely regulated. That way The SCA will not be liable for meeting and paying for the costs of mundane regulation.
