Come on, guys. It's not that he doesn't believe in benefitting the rest of
the world, or only benefitting other medieval groups. He's talking about
keeping a medieval atmosphere at events. Iron Chef and Toys for Tots didn't
exist in our time period; heck, the concept of them didn't exist. If you are
in this organization to try to recreate medieval life, it's really hard to do
so when there are banners for Toys for Tots everywhere, or when the main
event is a recreation of a television show! You can do the same kinds of
things without making a big noise about the modern stuff - for instance, how
is one of our siege challenges different from Iron Chef? Sure, have people
bring a toy to donate to enter the tourney - but don't make a big noise about
it during the event, or simply announce that alms for the poor should be
given to the almoner at this location. People will know what you are talking
about, but it's not as blatantly modernly intrusive.
For the record - I agree with Ras.
