[MR] Egyptian Personas in the SCA

[Logan]

so how do you, with "courtesy", tell someone that their storm trooper outfit
doesnt fit into the sca?  your charge is that there isnt a way to tell
someone they are doing something wrong.  i disagree.  the whole "lets be
nice and never say no to anyone and lets create awards and peerages and
tokens for everyone" is, in my opinion, the worst problem the sca has.  

so, i have to ask, if someone showed up in said storm trooper gig why would
you be unable to politely tell them that it didnt belong?

I would submit that there is no polite way to do that. And since the rule
that OUGHT to trump any other rule is that of showing as much courtesy as we
can manage, we have a bit of a conflict, it would seem. 

Although the "pharoah hat", admittedly, would possibly fall under the new
coronet foolishness of late...

will politely call you on it.
