A: There are a number of very good reasons why we cannot allow under 18s at the MEAD events.

If we start bending the rules for "1 month to 18 years old" then the rule has become elastic and the next person that is 1 month and 3 days or one month and 12 days can claim just as much right to play. The rules are there for a reason. Even if you are 1 day away from your 18th birthday, you are legally a minor. We didn't make that rule... it's the law, plain and simple.

As it is, we try very hard to keep all of our MEADers safe and out of danger, but as most of you know, MEAD isn't a night at the movies. Things can go wrong. With "adults" we are all responsible for ourselves, if we allow minors we have to take responsibility for them and MEAD does not have the capacity or expertise to deal with minors if something goes wrong. Please note that "parental consent" does not mean you have been legally emancipated, it means your parents hand responsibility for your safety and well-being over to the MEAD organisers. We are still legally responsible for a minors safety.

In the event of MEAD we have risqué behaviour, we have a "brothel" and "opium den" (even if they aren't real), we have people hitting each other with large fake weaponry and we have smoking. We cannot protect minors from what goes on and we do not have the legal capacity to deal with parents that may take offence to these things. No matter how much you may assure us that your mom or dad won't complain, we just cannot take the risk.

Once you turn 18 we will welcome you gladly to the game.

Do not petition the admins for permission to allow minors into MEAD. The answer is "no" under all circumstances.
