Get involved in a household not associated with your canton; or play at the baronial level; or find a different shire that's within driving distance and play with THEM.

To my great chagrin, I lost four good years of SCA time because of one insufferable jerk (details shall remain omitted) and am currently helplessly watching other good persons fall away like flies in my own group due to another unpleasant situation (again, details deliberately omitted).  But don't, as they say, let the b*****ds get you down...

Kat,
   I thank you whole heartedly for your kind words. Dont worry they wont get me down, I bite back! Unfortunately the politics here go up to the baronial level. We are losing members left and right due to this.This is one of the reasons I want to try my hand as a feast cook. I have also taken up arms as well as some other areas in order to be able to show others what can be done in the SCA. I am trying my dammdest against bad
(but not impossible) odds to bring my canton around so that people may want to come to play again. I actually became a canton officer to stop some of the shenanigans (and being very unpolitical you dont how much THAT particular suit do itch ;-)). We had an event back in September that the feast failed miserably due to this and people actually came prepared to eat offsite! Thats was the last straw for me and started me on
this road.

(sorry to bitch guys but some of the games here are really starting to irk me.)
