Central/east/West/other

[Brutal Bonegrinder]

Okay lets all vote, yay!

[Brutal Bonegrinder]

Now please, do not attempt to vote twice, since people would actually have something to lose, or gain by cheating. I would hope we are all above that.

I went with the Central US as there is too many variables against the east coast. Especially during summer.

With a terrible stroke of luck we would go through the alphabets during the summer we hold this conventions. We I say alphabets I mean the American and Greek alphabets of hurricane naming! O.o

[Adrie]

depending on where on the East Coast hurricanes may not affect it. not to pick on the central states but they get pretty hot during the summer, but so do the eastern states, not to nit-pick

[Imreis]

I only went with East coast due to there was no vote for the Mid West which oddly Michigan is concitered part of lol

[Ruthia]

And west coast gets forest fires, mud slides and earth quakes.


Lets face it people. Weather happens suck it up. Pick an area and lets see what we end up with.

[Trena]

Every region has something some one can complain about. Who cares really. I know I don't. I would just like to see this happen.

[Brutal Bonegrinder]

I really do not see a the problem you all have with the weather.. The probably two days we would have this will hopefully be in a summer time setting. It really would be a freak of an accident if some kind of horrid, worst cace scenario of a storm, land slide, earth quake, flash flood, volcano erruption, bird's attacking, dogs barking, cares driving by.. would happen.

I lived in Florida for a year, not one real weather event happened, in washington, no mud slides, or floods, in cali I was not burnt to death in a brush fire.. All of these things we worry about, do not just spring up on you in a matter of minutes, there are warning signs as well as technology that predicts this.. all but earth quakes and volcanos.

[Zeren]

Also...black holes. Those can sneak up on you.

[Adrie]

lol Zeren yeah those really sneak up on you.

[Zeren]

Haha, it's remarkable that any of you step outside the front door if all of these natural events are preventing you from deciding on a place to visit. :P

[James V]

why can't we just have this convention in the artic, its some place no one has been, I garuntee no one has been to the antartic, cos if they have, you'd have to have like 50 shots for weird diseases they have down there. Great place tho imo. We can go around and make snow men, pee our name in snow, and have a snowball fight at the polar bear! Plus we can mess with the yeti!

*grins*

Ask any SCAdian who's been to the Pennsic War what kind of factor weather can be when it wants, though. "Pennsic is hot, cold, drenched, and dusty" about sums it up. Granted, that particular camping event goes on for a couple of weeks, which does give a bit of time for the weather to choose to be a factor. Heck, the locals in the Slippery Rock, PA area joked with me that they love Pennsic, because it assures them of at least one good soaking drownpour each August.

Mind, I don't say to avoid a possible camping event just because the weather might be a factor. Just pointing out that folks who have camped out regularly and/or been to camping events before have a point when they bring up the worst-case scenario possibilities, because that's the sort of thing you try to plan for, when planning on camping.

[Brutal Bonegrinder]

I am glad the thread is becoming more light hearted ^_^

Now, I do not believe it was ever agreed upon as to the medium of the convention, indoors outdoors or something inbetween. But we will get to that problem when it arises.

Can we have sword fights? Like use big swords and smack each other with real blood and guts, and stuff?

Only if "International Waters" somehow wins the poll. Which it won't.

[Kallikrates]

May...I'm nerdy. I see Arctic and Antarctic and think way too much.

Anyway the only concern here is the lack of water plus we are expected to have a warmer and drier winter.

That is awesome news for the farmers here. *notes sarcasm*

Anyways judging by this tropical season and last year's we may not have anything to worry about next season. So we shall be dry, hot, and little rainfall.

I move to change North Carolina to Northeast Arizona!

Back on topic if this does get held in on the east coast I'm looking at W. Virginia or Virginia.

[Elf_Ariel]

C'mon. Weather's not something anyone needs to be stressing about! If it's raining just make the gals wear white or something? And if it aint, and it's hot and dry, well, welcome to my life for a change.

I dont even think it should be part of the decision. Everytime I organise to go anywhere in advance the weather is outstandingly appalling. Why should this time be any different?! Maybe I shouldn't come!

[Kallikrates]

More food for me then Ariel! Kidding...I would share your portion with someone.

[Velira Evangeline]

XD Now ow, we want everyone who can come, to come. It would be better with more people. :P
