I thought there was a previous thread about this but I can't find it... I was looking at the official site and was wondering, what has happened to Romance Weekend and Octoberfest?

I was looking at the official site and was wondering, what has happened to Romance Weekend and Octoberfest? Lots of folks have noticed changes in the special weekends. . .I noted that: Scottish Weekend is now Celtic Weekend which will include Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Isle of Man, Galicia, and Cornwall ( the seven Celtic nations) Pirate Invasion Weekend is now Adventure Weekend featuring "Seafaring, pirates and the age of exploration" There's no Deaf Awareness Weekend (but two days are set aside as Sign Language Interpretation days) There's no Shakespeare Weekend, Romance Weekend, Oktoberfest Weekend But there's still a Children's Weekend and a Senior's Day on Labour Day Now, with that being said. . .err. . .uh. . . typed, the festival hasn't started yet and new things are being added to the official site all the time. . . my best guess is to stay tuned. Afterall, it IS the 30th Anniversary of the Festival and surprises are always in store! Huzzzahhhhh btw, reference for this info is: www.rennfest.com/renaissance-festival-events.shtml

Wait wait wait... What now? This is going to be my first year at Faire being 21! And they're denying me Romance Weekend? And OKTOBERFEST? When will I get to use my crazy german ceramic beer mugs? When will I get to wear the Swiss Miss bodice? I weep.
I guess they're going to force me to make EVERY weekend Romance Weekend and Oktoberfest. HA!

when to use the mug... everyday you are at faire! when to wear the bodice... everyday at faire! you can make each weekend what ever you want... (just don't disturb the cast... they're distubed enough *LOL*) seriously though... if you want to make each weekend a romance weekend... talk to the lass at Nobles Oblique (sp?)... I think they're the ones running the "romance war". I hear it's a fun thing.

Kitte from Noblesse Oblige (and a few others) run the Romance wars for the employees of the festival. Madame Jean (in White Hart) runs romance wars for patrons and the like.

Ack! I am utterly clueless! *Sheepishly* What's a romance war? Others will probably define it better than I... but if I remember the details rightly... in the beginning, there's a form you fill out that provides details into things/person you like/dislike. From that, they (those that run the thing) give the details to another person. In this case, if you were playing, you'd get the info for a person. You'd know who it was, but the person would not. Kind of like them secret santa things. Anyway, you then provide "gifts" of some sort based on the info from this person, all with out letting them know until the final weekend. Or something like that...

Oooh, that sounds like fun. But I'm a sucker for "Secret Santa" style things.
And that might make up for not being able to be there for Adventure weekend. (and I so wanted to see all the pirates!)

veteran of many romance wars lol niamh has the jist of it at the beginning of each season people that work there get a form if they want to play in which you fill out likes like what drinks, sweets and interests you like / have then you turn the form in to kitty at nobliesse and the group that runs it determines who gets whom for your hit and hitter then starting the second or third weekend you start giving and recieveing anomous gifts girls are hit on saturdays and guys get theirs on sundays to save the poor rose sellers from dropping dead lol since they do most of the delieveries ;D now to top it all off and throw a monkey wrench into it there are what are called chaos hits which may or maynot be from the person hitting you or to the person you are hitting a chaos hit can be from anyone to anyone else not sure how the playtron side of it works as I have only played when working faire wolf
