[MR] Waterbearing going forward.

"...my answer to that is pretty much summed up by Lord Mungoe's quote:  
"If there is ever a lawsuit or suits involving the passing of bad water 
it will name the person handing out the water, the barony, the event, 
Kingdom, Society, and the State issueing the permit for the event as a 
mass regardless of the BOD's policy. THis allows for a bigger payout 
for the lawyer and person suiing, and a more likely hood of settling 
out of court." 

If there is a lawsuit, the individual will likely be sued either way 
(along with the SCA itself and probably the event site for good 
measure).  Currently, that individual has some protection from the SCA, 
as they're acting in an official capacity.  When it's not an official 
capacity, they're on their own..."

By your own words and Lord Mungo's that you quoted, no they would not, 
if they are named sperately, they would not have the protection of the 
Society... (That would be the purpose of naming them seprately... to be 
able to extract money directly from them.)

But you have inspired me now to post my actual opinion instead of 
clarifying points of contractual liability (my RL job)
Un-offical the waterbearing...  Leave it to comfortably dressed, and 
properly anonomus WATER NINJA

Well, there is a rumor there is an assasins guild...  so why not hit 
and run waterbearers?  :)
