5. What does the Food Situation look like?
All event pricing includes the meal plan. Dietary restrictions should be noted on the pre-registration form once released. The full kitchen (oven, counter space) will not be open for general use to avoid issues with space for the meal plan to cook. If you have a concern with this, please email manager@alliance-seattle.com and we will work to accommodate your needs.
6. Can I camp in a tent?
Yes! There is discounted pricing available for doing so. However, please note, this is the Pacific Northwest, so be prepared for heavy rains. There is cabin sleeping space for 150 on site.
We will have a designated area for tents, if you wish to stay in one.

The Cash Donation Drive is currently launched here!
We will be releasing an item Donation Drive soon
8. How can I blanket the National Event?
See this post here!
9. What is the site, Millersylvania ELC, like?
It's cushy. All of the cabins have been remodeled (completion date April 2016) and have heat, 4 bunk beds each (they sleep 8 people), and electricity. There are heated showers, large fields, and a big main hall that seats over 100 people. This main hall tends to be a place that people congregate between modules and spending time in their cabins.
10. How can I inform staff for the event of a Medical Issue or a need for Accommodations?
Please shoot an email to manager@alliance-seattle.com and cc alibuntemeyergm@gmail.com and we will ensure the information is forwarded to the appropriate parties.
11. What is the plot for the National Event?
National Plot has been popping up all over the country since last year. If you hear the magic words "Aelin Mor" "Sightless" or "Fortannis", there is a good chance it is national plot related. You can find some Nationally started IG threads on the Fortannis boards with more to come!
12. Who is the National Event Plot Team?
Ali Buntemeyer
Anthony Mungo
Benjamin Thayer
Jim Sullivan
Seth Bird
Shane Macomber
Stephen Stana
13. How do I tell the plot staff that I'll be there to PC as my chacter [Insert Name Here] or that I want to NPC for them?
Fill out this handy questionnaire!
14. Anything special I should bring?
A lot of socks. If it rains, you will want to be able to change your socks.
15. Is the meal plan required?
Yes
16. What are the Meal Plan Details?
The meal plan includes Friday Dinner, Saturday Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner, and Sunday Breakfast. A menu will be released approximately a month before the event.

For those with workshops, you'll be allowed to use any chapter's workshop tag for first logistics, after that you'll have to find (or buy) access to a workshop for the second logistics period.
18. Who will the Rules Marshals be for the event?
The Seattle/Oregon Marshals + ARC volunteers will serve as Rules Marshals for the National event. Specific instructions for these marshals will be provided in advance of the event.

Check out this thread! http://alliancelarp.com/forum/threads/2016-national-event-pre-registration.32033/
21. What are the NPC Perks?
NPCs for the National Event will receive the following benefits:
75 Dragon Stamps
60 Goblins Stamps at Alliance Seattle
A 2 hour PC shift in which you may cameo a character of your choice. This is intended to be an RP break for you where you may hang out with your friends or meet characters you’ve only heard about in legend.
22. How can I use Goblin Stamps for the 100 Production Points that can be spent at an event?
You may use GS from any chapter. You will need to email that chapter and copy Seattle Logistics on the email requesting to use the Goblin Stamps and what you will be using them for. The chapter you are spending the GS from will need to then confirm that you have them and that they have been spent, then the items will be placed in your checkin folder. NOTE: Deadline for this kind of purchase is 2 weeks prior to the event, no exceptions!
