And after some incidents that have occurred in the past, Team Whiplash has made it clear they will ban players and DQ them if they start disrupting the event. Any event I have attended held in an actual game store has strict policies about no alcohol. Alcohol at events is a separate issue that might be worth writing about at a later date. Thank you for the idea Angela Rose Hi Kim

If that is the case then is there screening of minors at these events? This seems like there could be a lot of liability issues with this scenerio if alcohol is allowed during ANY sanction L5R event. If this was outside the tournament it would make more sense, but again why, in this instance, would it pertain to the L5R tournament? I mean I get harrassed all the time at the bar but I can't get anyone fired over it. A little confused on how and why this played out at all.

Using shortened versions of sexual reproductive organs, is in itself sexual harrassment. Whether or not anyone is bothered by it is another story, however, it just seems kind of hypocritical. Kind of like when black people use the N word ;) I’d probably rename your Team Vag to something like “Team Donate” or something.

Female L5R players like their male counterparts simply want to be treated with respect. I think that you bring up some excellent points Rose.

I have enough trouble trying to get a new L5R community going at my local game store to worry about the Meta game this early into the arc. Factor in the Kotei I'm going down to is Pasadena (Hello curbstomping from Alderac employees), I'm left with the fact that if I am going to play my best, I need to have fun. So my Kitsune deck might lose. But at least I'll have fun. My plan is to just play what I want.
