What would a pirate event be without Raiding?

I have decided to allow raiding at the Revel with a few conditions.

1. You must sign up for Raiding. Once you have signed up, you will get a Raiding Flag for your encampment. These will be clearly marked for raiding so there will be no confusion. There will also be flags marked for children's raiding as well.

2. All raiding happens from Dawn to Dusk. Anyone caught raiding after dark will be disqualfied.

3. The Raiding Flag must be kept outdoors. Hiding the flag in a tent or carrying it outside of your encampment is not allowed, unless your the one doing the raiding.

4. When raiding, only the flags given out will be the only thing you can take from the encampments. Anyone taking anything other than the Raiding Flags will be turned over to Constab.

5. If you get caught raiding, your captures have the right to ransom you back to your encapment for a price. In the event of a successful raid, the ransom can be for the flag. In the event of an unsuccessful raid, the ransom for anyone over 21 can be a 6-pack but this is just an suggestion.

6. There will be 1(one) Gold flag hidden somewhere in the site. It is worth 10 flags. Anyone finding and return this flag to the Blackthorne Hearth(ie my hearth) of the McCready encampment will be awarded Blackthorne Status for the Event.

7. Above all, Have Fun!!!

  • THIS sounds like fun...
    the pirates can really get into this....

    • I thought so too. :-D

      I just wanted to make sure that people didn't take things of value or ruin anyone's house banners.
      • We did something like that back in 2001 in a Confederate encampment
        we had a night skirmish and 70 people got involved Johnny Reb won
        • I don't want to have night raiding because I don't want people to get hurt.
          • Yeah night raiding = badness.
            • it is of course a different group of folk all together
              I captured an artillery unit that night! cannon and all
              • I believe the biggest issue is that people tend to attach more sentimental value to an object than others realize. At some events we've had people come to blows over their house flag being "kidnapped".
                There is also the danger of some people's senses of humor being a bit more than others can take. At the Gathering last year someone felt it would be humorous to zip tie some tents shut, effectively locking the occupants inside. Amusing... I suppose. But we had some tents end up being ripped, and (perhaps worst of all) several very upset parents who were woken up to their children shrieking about being trapped in their tents. We were NOT amused.

                I trust that such things won't be happening at the Revel.
  • WIth the demise of my Clan, I have had make one change to the raiding rules.

    6. There will be 1(one) Gold flag hidden somewhere in the site. It is worth 10 flags. Anyone finding and return this flag to the "Blackthorne Caravan" encampment will be awarded Blackthorne Status for the Event.
