<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#004000>75 feet of space for common area that would include the space between the tents would not be enough no matter what people said or didn't say. Besides, you can't apply the 75 feet to the perimeter of a tent, because people have all different sized tents and the allocation would be unfair. Also, this type of allocation mostly only benefits the people near the tent and not the whole group, somewhat killing the concept of common area.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#004000>Last year, we taxed 100 feet. This seemed to give us a good (but not excessive) amount of space for common area. Remember that we also shared common area space with Stierbach last year, which helped us out. Although we can hope to do this again this year, we cannot count on it.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#004000>It does seem to add up. I know that I will probably need two ghosts to cover for my space. But, for my vote, it is well worthwhile. The common area last year got used extensively. Being a Baronial encampment, we need extra space for Baronial activities and events.</FONT></DIV>
