While I'm definitely not Wolfgang, I'll give you my impressions for
answers.

1.  I don't think we NEED to choose a new name for the encampment, just
that this would be a good time to change if we WANT to.  I agree, SCA
compound is perhaps not the best, but feel SCA should be the main part
of the name.

2.  I believe the name would primarily be on the Medieval Fair map and
program. Our flyers to hand out can be done however we want.  Same with
banners and signs.

Good Brother Wolfgang,

I, as is my norm, am fairly/moderately/irrevocably confused... but you
can help.

1. So we're needing to choose a new name for the encampment.
2. where will the public come into contact, with the words we choose?
2a. will it be on their map flyer? or as a sign or banner in our area?
On our info packets? (that we get from the hospitality tent and
distribute to people with that familiar glint in their eye) 3. I ask
because I think it'll make a difference as to what we choose to label
our encampment, depending on the media of advertisement.
examples: SCA if in a corner of a map, SCA-The Current Middle Ages or
grimmie's sounded great too in banner form. If trying to herd a crowd of
modernians towards us, as they walk while looking at a pamphlet by
leashing their interest; I like my SCA-The Destiny of Your Past  (that
just makes my feet wanna go towards us and get on that ride)

4. So It's all about advertising and whats all about advertising is the
way and then the what your message gets across.

back to 3 I remember you saying we need to rename the thing that was the
SCA Compound, that gives me the impression a physical space or thing is
to be renamed. So I'm not sure if including the summation and totality
of our Societatal's experience is why we're looking for in our
Descriptor. What I think we're looking for is what'll veer the most
modernites towards us when they read the words we choose.
(wherever that is)

Lemmee know about #2.

5. Though it seem like sacrilege (to me as I type on a computer while
being amongst friends a thousand years ago... Big sigh) we might ought
to include .org after SCA so when a modernianite sees SCA.org They'll be
able to dial us up. (makes my skin crawl in a certain direction but they
would blink to it/us and we'd get 10-12 more members Weisenfeuerals and
Mooneschadeens that is. ;^))

Loving Namron thanking Wolfgang,
Pooky
