Is it still gross?
I went to a large (650 people!) Live Action Roleplay Event a few weeks ago. It was at a girl scout camp equipped with cabins, platform tents and tent sites. It was ALSO equipped with plenty of port-o-potties, outhouses and restrooms in cabins.
Yet,
It seemed every time I rounded a bend in a path, or exited my tent, or went past some brush to collect firewood, I came across some male LARPer taking a piss.
In the dark, a few feet into the treeline, sure; not a big deal But when I'm cooking on my grill in front of my tent in broad daylight and you walk past me and stand 10ft away to water a tree, that's a little much. And if you're on a trail, you never know who might come up on you, and how much of an eyeful you're going to give them; not to mention, sometimes we're CRAWLING through the brush, and have no idea who has marked where!
I never really 'saw' anything, but it was still a little uncomfortable; I must have come across these scenes a half dozen times, and that was just me. Would it have bothered them to hold it, make sure they were alone or at least ASK if I was bothered???
We all pay to play this game, and I wonder if I can write the people in charge and ask that they ask players to use the facilities provided to us; or if that would be prudish of me.
