Many other LARPS allow the use of PVC armor, whether it be chain or plate and I was wondering if Alliance allowed this as well. I've seen this technique used on multiple costumes before and with the right painting it looks exactly like regular chain, the only time you realize its not is when you lift it and see it only weighs 5lbs instead of 30lbs.
I can see multiple reasons to allow PVC chain in game. It is much more cost effective, you do not have to worry about maintaining it, repairing it is easy, as well as multiple safety concerns such as thunderstorms, high heat in the summer, and possible future back problems.
