PeaceBinding for Idjits

Yesterday in Decatur, Georgia, pirates converged for the PiratePalooza pubcrawl. Here’s hoping they all survived and had a marvelous time. I had to share their rules for peace binding weapons. Reading it caused peals of laughter to ring through the Hold and even the Ranger chuckled.

Peace Binding Required

Hello new person with a real (or nearly real) sword. Here’s a little game that we developed for your idiot-enriched world. It’s called “peace binding” or “peace bonding” or “peace bounding” or “tying your fracking sword to your fracking belt so that you won’t do something fracking Darwinian and spoil our fricking-fracking fun”.

This is the safety policy of PiratePalooza, modeled after the rules of Anime Los Angeles. By attending this event you are bound to this agreement.

PiratePalooza believes that most humans are idiots and have survived up to this point in their lives by some insane miracle of chemistry, upbringing, charm and/or luck, and that you could snap at any moment…. which is why Public Safety outweighs any other consideration and it is with this in mind that these policies have been formed. …

If your weapon is not peace-bound, we will gladly perform the service for you at no cost. Failure to submit to peace-tying is grounds for immediate expulsion from the bar and possible summons of local police. Don’t think that we won’t wave to you like cold-hearted pirates as officers of the law escort you to your rendezvous with fate. …
