<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#800000 size=2>As the Autocrat of
Namron Protectorate, I find myself in an akward position. Since the ban on
event merchanting, according to the Northern Regional Seneschal,
is supposed to be "worked out" by October, I could still have merchants at
our event (Oct. 10-12). But, what if it's not worked out? And, even
if it is, will you merchants be willing to schedule yourselves to be here?
I understand how important setting up at a well attended event is to
merchants. I deeply desire to have this situation settled before
then. Any event would be greatly lessened by your absence.
Namron understands the value of and contribution by merchant's
displays.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I can understand your being upset. But
please don't kill the messengers. This is not the call of the groups up
here but of the Kingdom Seneschal. We cannot make a move until she lifts the
ban. It's certainly not our intent to drive anyone away. I was looking forward
to shopping at Baronial. I don't know what else can be said, and its certainly
understandable though very unfortunate if you have to make plans to be
elsewhere because of it. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What I want to know is plainly this. Why is it
estimated to take the kingdom seneschal so long to find out what I found out
in a 15 min phone call to the Oklahoma Tax Commision. Peeps can say
dont panick yadda yadda yadda but you have to look at it from the merchants
point of view here. I am sitting on about 10k in inventory. If I have to go
out of state to my normal high sellers the SCA then I will do so which means
reworking my schedule and events I had planned on attending and merchanting
at. Which the ban is state wide in the state I live in so there fore that
leaves me with only the option of going out of state, for an estimated 3
months. My expenditures rise if I have to go out of state to sell thus I
must raise my prices and etc, which I dont know about most merchants but I
make my planes 3 to 4 months down the road and this welp throws not only a
monkey wrench in the works but honestly kills my ability to make
plans.</FONT></DIV>

<P>For all merchants that were planning trips to Oklahoma in the next
three months, better make other plans. We have been banned
from all events in Oklahoma for at least the next three
months.
