That seems to be how it works around here. I paid the site fee-I was 
assigned to a cabin space after all.  But not the feast fee.  I don't 
know about other named staff, the gatekeeper and the autocrat 
certainly better have paid at least the same $5 I paid, if not both 
fees!

paying

make

Or rather, to bring this topic full circle, what exuse can others make 
up for not *helping* if the staff has all paid?  

>I see it as a matter of if you open the door just a crack, you'll

>have it wide open and hordes of non-paying attendees rushing in. 

I think that is the attitude around here.  I was just curious to know 
how those places that have this policy manage it.  Are only "titled" 
positions eligible for free admittance?  (cook, autocrat, gatekeeper) 
or further down the line?  What about the MoL?  any deputies?
