[Elfsea] Feast--Was Answers to Questions about Guardian of the Tor Site

[Lady Simone ui' Dunlaingh]

I will bring it up with the Canton. the way we are doing it now is the way
that was chosen by the group because we have done the server from each table
and have been burned.

I'll  bring up setting a side an area for non-payers of feast.

The point still is that there are people taking advantage of sitting at
feast and not paying for what they eat. For this reason we chose to set
feast for those who paid only. I will bring it up again to the group and see
if they wish to change it. It is a group decision by the Canton that I will
not arbitrarily change without the Canton's approval. until then feast is
only available to those with tokens.

It's nothing personal against those who come to feast and bring their own.
It is because we can not afford to pay for those who are dishonest and eat
feast when it is not theirs to eat.

If people want to get mad they need to get mad at those who are dishonest
enough to steal feast. Yes steal is a hard word, yet taking something
without permission and without paying for it is just that stealing.

Many in the Canton are still upset with the fact that so many people ate at
Yule that did not pay this past year. it cost us a lot of money not to
mention upset people who paid for feast but did not get to eat their fair
share because of the dishonesty of others.  It is a problem that is getting
worse over the years and not better. I am open to suggestion.
