Micah -
Your event request for costumed characters to participate in a LARP was rejected by the 501st Legion Event Coordinator, which is a higher level than us at the local level. Our members, while in the role of a 501st Legion/Rebel Legion member, do not LARP or re-enact combat in costume. We explained to you that those activities can possibly cause injury or damage to very expensive movie accurate costumes that our members make.
When you were told about this, you proceeded to bombard the Star Wars Oregon, Kashyyk Base, and Cloud City Garrison Facebook Messenger accounts with more requests and questions to the point where you were banned for a cooling down period. You were asked several times to stop with the constant messaging; you refused to do so, which is why you were blocked.
You asked if we would play a tabletop RPG game in costume. Also, not something we generally do. Before we could even respond to that request, you asked if we'd come over to your house to watch the movies with you so we could compare our movie accurate costumes with the costumes in the movies. Costuming standards have already been developed and no changes are made by us at the local level. Those standards are available at the Rebel Legion and 501st Legion websites.
If you are looking for social connections/friends, you will have to do that by other means - not spamming the Facebook accounts of the clubs. Those accounts are made to manage our members and events.
We understand you are currently in the costume approval process with the Rebel Legion and your judge is currently awaiting better photos. If you wish to become a member with either costuming group, you will need to exercise more patience in regard to communication. Both of our organizations are all volunteer run. Additionally, coming on to the forum and bad mouthing and misrepresenting facts about either of our groups prior to becoming a member does not look good for you and could affect your future membership in either club. In the future, please consider your responses more carefully prior to sending them.
Sincerely,
Michael Halstead Missy Thingelstad
Cloud City Garrison Commanding Officer (501st Legion) Kashyyk Base Commanding Officer (Rebel Legion)
