The Ayreton Yahoo! Group is used to post news, make announcements, and for
discussion of interest to all groups in the Chicago area.  We encourage all
people of Ayreton to subscribe and receive email or digests, so although it is
not prohibited, please try to keep chatting to the local group mailing lists.

To prevent spam, we unfortunately require new members' first post be approved by
the moderators before being able to post to the mailing list.  (This is better
than requiring moderators to approve every member or every post individually.)

The message archive and calendar are available to the public, not just to our
members, so please be aware of this when posting messages and calendar events. 
Also, members can elect to hide their email address from being displayed
anywhere within the group.  This is done so people who wish to maintain their
privacy can still get/view the announcements for the area.  Members who choose
this option cannot post by sending email, and must log in to the Yahoo! Groups
page to post.

These policies are open to discussion, and any grievances should be brought up
to the group owners by sending email to ayreton-owner@yahoogroups.com

Discourse on this list is requested to be kept to Ayreton-wide issues such as
discussion on the Barony process, Ayreton Carnival and any other such area wide
issues.  Discourse shall be kept civil as it is entirely possible to disagree
with out being diagreeable.  Personal attacks of any kind and general rudeness
are in direct violation of this policy.  The decision if a violation has
occurred is entirely at the discretion of the moderators.  Violators will be
given three warnings and then banned from posting to the Ayreton Yahoo! Group. 
Moderators will try to give polite reminders first before giving any official
warnings, however, this is at their discretion.  Banning from posting will last
for three months and then the individual banned must draft an apology letter for
their behavior that led to them being banned.  They will then be put on
moderated posting status until the moderators feel they will comply with the
posting rules of this Yahoo! Group.  We encourage everyone to partipate in
Ayreton-wide discussions and express freely their opinions without worry of
reprisal from the moderators.  We simply ask that you do so in a chivalrous and
courteous manner and without attacking anyone.

Good Gentles!

We will have an impressive amount of people representing and dining with Ayreton
on Saturday night.
For those dining:

1. If you have NOT received an email from me confirming you have been counted,
you have not been counted.

2. Please bring your own chair. Tables encouraged, or you have a lap.

3. To keep from charging people, I need everyone to pool together the various
paper plates, cups, napkins, and flatware that are spread throughout the barony
sitting in closets and basements, yearning to be used. I will have some random
tableware. Please let me know if you hoard these things and can provide :-)

4. We will have water and something cold/flavored water of dome nature. If you
need something else to wash down dinner, bring it.

5. There will be plenty of food.
Chicken, pork, bread, corn on the cob, and sweet potatoes.
As well as various other sides and sweets from random people.

6. Food time is targeted for 6pm.

If there are any other questions, please  ask. :-)

Thank you D'vorah for bringing that to our attention. The Copernicus Center is
far enough west of the parade route that traffic should not be an issue. For
those gentles who plan to attend both, the populace meeting is usually brief and
will give you plenty of time to enjoy the day's festivities.

All the best,

Well... while I am sad that things did not work out for you, I am glad that you
made it back home safely. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me
know.

Despite the heat and some hiccups during our travel, we were very excited to be
there.  After a weekend to settle in to our apartment, we spent a couple of days
at the office learning some new information.  Whether through malicious intent
on the part of the director of the program or not, our position turned into a
bait and switch.  We had been told that our expenses while teaching would be
next to none (we would have to pay for our groceries and potable water).  While
working on our contracts and trying to solve the problems (caused by the
university) with our work visas, we were informed of a long list of expenses we
would have.  The other American there who has been teaching in Thailand for
about 15 years now, informed us that "there will definitely be more expenses
that [we'd] have to take care of, but the university doesn't even know what they
are yet."

We have a couple of leads that we are following up on in the Indy and Chicago
areas, we should be hearing back from them soon.  We are currently staying in
Muncie while we search, though until we have an actual income do not expect to
see us at many events in the near future.

Greetings,

As you may know, Xanti and I left the kingdom a few weeks ago to travel to the Golden Playnes to teach English.  We were sad to be leaving, but the opportunities that awaited us promised to be rich.

When we reached the Far West, we were greeted with smiles and excitement.  Despite the heat and some hiccups during our travel, we were very excited to be there.  After a weekend to settle in to our apartment, we spent a couple of days at the office learning some new information.  Whether through malicious intent on the part of the director of the program or not, our position turned into a bait and switch.  We had been told that our expenses while teaching would be next to none (we would have to pay for our groceries and potable water).  While working on our contracts and trying to solve the problems (caused by the university) with our work visas, we were informed of a long list of expenses we would have.  The other American there who has been teaching in Thailand for about 15 years now, informed us that "there will definitely be more expenses that [we'd] have to take care of, but the university doesn't even know what they are yet."

We did many calculations over the following days, with our monthly expenses from our student loans and needing to be able to afford a way to return home in a year, we could not afford all of these new expenses and had to return prematurely.

Xanti and I have returned to the Midrealm and are currently looking for work.  We have a couple of leads that we are following up on in the Indy and Chicago areas, we should be hearing back from them soon.  We are currently staying in Muncie while we search, though until we have an actual income do not expect to see us at many events in the near future.
