I like this approach.

  I am damm sure I can get everyone I dont like to have a problem with the way I say fuck.

100watt pure bass speaker bullhorn "Fuck"..  I can do 109 decibels on a clear spring day. 

I like this idea ChessyPig.

 I will be saying "Fuck!" at anyone I dont like in the loudest and most offensive possible manner.

  Then smiling at them and waiting for them to cry.  Cos it was all done "Ic".

 Then I get them to leave *my* event which is being run according to *my* social standards..

Not really.  I wouldnt be that nasty.  I'd try to get along with people, see things from their point of view... be considerate to their needs.   

Failing that, I d hunt them from camp to camp with a semi-automatic rifle.

The point isnt that we should tone down the events so kids can attend.  Its that if the events are "18+" then we should either be capable of providing creche care for an extra fee.  Or considerate about small people.  Its not that big a consideration.

Recently Ive been considering streaking for peace at some events.

As a deterrent.  You understand.  Now having thought about it.  Its common sense not to actually do it at a scout site.  I think its common sense not to swear in front of an eight year old.

Or would you rather see my pert ass striding up to Tavern?  Your choice?

*as a rejoinder, and just so I dont get misunderstood.  Whats making mine others blood boil on this issue is *not* someone swearing in *front* of a kid... Its some tosspot loudly telling a little girl to "Fuck off,"... To the point where she came back bawling to her mother.  Hope that helps

But if you really *want* to bug Me and are still trying because I didnt put the damm contact field in properly....

yes i have a little girl and already have many offers of making her kit and would love to bring her along to events.  However it would be in the daytime to child friendly events.  I don't believe kids should come to all events especially not adult theme ones.  At large faction based events when people are starting to get drunk and rowdy the kids should be in bed.  As for kids at events, all the kids i have seen or talked to at events seem very polite and inteligent for their ages, even to the stage of being able to discuss the finer points of rules.  Frankly at my first event at one system a "kid" helped me with the finier points of one of the rules.  Something to do with the fact that his folks had been doing the system for years and were refs or traders.  And he'd picked it all up.

I wish i'd starting larping at 7 and not at uni and wouldnt hold anyone back from doing the same.

Animals

I love dogs but i couldnt eat a whole one.  Seriously though i have had a number of dogs and they can be unpredictable if provoked and wouldnt be happy having one in a game with me.  However some people would be able to attend the events without a dog sitter so allow them in limited areas and for walks but not in play.

Swearing

It's funny that just today i had to tell someone off at work for swearing, the subtext of the conversation went like this.  If you swear again in front of a client you will be out on your arse.  I swear outside of work, away from kids, when it is appopriate.

Thats a bit pointless! If the dog cant enter play areas, then neither can the owner.

It depends on the event, it depends on the dog.

Not sure about dogs- one of mine would love it, the other would be a nervous wreck and bite someone, a bit too unpredictable really. What about cats or ferets?
