[Loch-Ruadh] Rules for the Blame Baroness Dana Game

[Steve Rourke]

The rules are very simple.

1. Bring a box of Poker Chips. If you do not have any, a box of 100 can be
bought at most dollar stores.

2. Give the box to Baroness Dana, so that she may ensure that everyone has
the same number of chips

3. The game starts as soon as you have signed in at gate. You will be on
your honor about it until you have checked in with Baroness Dana. It even
applies while setting up your camping area.

4. You must address ANYONE at the event by an appropriate title, be it
Milord, Milady, etc. If you are overheard by another member of the Canton,
and they call you on it, you must give up a chip to the person who caught
you. The reverse also applies, if you catch someone not doing it and you
call them on it, you get one of theirs.

5. The only people who will be playing the game are those who consider
themselves as members of the Canton of Loch Ruadh.

6. Titles such as Lord Saxon Dog are not proper titles, despite how much fun
it is to call Dunstan that!!!! Now if you want to call him Lord Dunstan the
Saxon Dog that would work. :)

7. It is not necessary to bow or curtsey except when necessary such as to
the Royals or their thrones.

8. No trading or giving away chips to benefit somebody elses chances of
winning.

9. Remember if you don't  know if someone is a Lord or Lady the title
"Milord" or "Milady" is appropriate. If they are someone wearing a cornet of
some kind then "Your Excellency" works just fine.

Now the reasoning behind this game.
After Duchess Willow's History of Ansteorra talk at Fighter Practice, there
was a general talk of the way things have gone in the Society. During that
discussion it was brought up that we all have gotten lax in the way we
address each other while at events, demos, etc. That was when Baroness Dana
came up with this idea.
