/mlpol/ Mare Fair/Convention Planning Thread
Neither Great Nor Powerful

Hey faggots! Mare Fair is obviously over, which means now is the perfect time if not already done so to begin the steps and plans to go toward/into Mare Faire 2025.

Personal plans are free to be discussed and developed, but speciically I'm encouraging plans/discussion for how to improve the site's visibility and public profile.

Mare Fair seems amongus the best spurces for potential new/old users, as well as ample opportunty for quasi-board related shenanigens.

In particular, there seems to be a decent potential for a publicly scheduled meetup (with complimentary elastic-strig and paper anon masks, in green and orange), if not a full-on /mlpol/ panel.
Not to mention the potential of randomly annexing areas, events, etc.

Think about it, there's plenty of potential to show the fandom - particularly the anonymous part - that theres still fun to be had here and I'm interested in discussing how to make that happen.

New idea:
Kinda stupid, ngl, but hear me out.
Would you go to a panel/workshop involving pony pumpkin carving?

Pumpkin Carving aside,
(Happy Halloween btw)

This right here is an example of what I am talking about/planning, except I'll be serving horsefuckers from a hotel room rather than family from home. Food will be properly and professionally (vacuum bags, dry/wet ice refrigeration) stored and all the necessary health and safety standards upheld.
$50-60 in cost to me (waiving labor) means 40 servings (precook weight) of 1/4 lbs, which breaks down to $1.50 each. 1/4lbs is just the meat, there will also be slaw and may fried onions or coarsely ground chicharron.
Whatever the final plating, its gonna be amazing, amazingly cheap, presented by a shitposting/talking furry cowe, who you can (attempt to) take down a peg pr two while they're makong ur sandwich.

I'm talking pulled pork sandwiches.
I'm talking the authentic street tacos.
I'm talking chopped italian grilled cheese sandwiches.
The whole 'kitchen 'doesnt have to be anything huge, it JUST has to be a memorable/noteworthy experience that participants will assocoate with /mlpol/.
No soapboxing, no real political discussion (jokes of course) unless it starts naturally, just one furry horsefucker bringing their absolite A game in the kitchen.
And they'll have all 3 days (more, depending on how registration goes this year ^_~) to filter through at their leisure during posted/advertized operating hours.
And who knows! Maybe I'll forget to cross a T, and wind up arrested/walked out in fursuit. Can you say viral (in the /mlp/ community)?

Contemplating having a tip jar to be donated to the con/charity on behalf of /mlpol/ at the end

Omg thats it!
Weld a box with a slit in the top, for donations. Donation tiers get access to better/more portions/types of entrees. Everything donated at the end with a big 'ol /mlpol/ sticker plastered on the envelope, with glitter and shit.
There is no sale or purchase, its entirely a thank you for donation

you can't tie things to donations, otherwise they're purchases.

Are you citing anything specific, cuz A. I'm sure I can (I just havent figured out the leg/paperwork yet, but neither have you so who are you to say?), and B. You make a fair point. No pearls before swine

Not trying to be too adversarial but substance, please. The world is rife with tiered donations and rewards. The implication that I can't do the same with plates of food will need more than your disbelief as a citation

I think too much emphasis is being put on terms. The "tiered donation" idea is simple:
1. Free tacos (2 free cuz we're frens now) for signing an alias in the book, heres your stamp card.
2. Insert $ into the box, write amount next to alias in book (optional) and on stampcard (necessary).
3. $1, $2, $3 items, tracked by stamp on stampcard, different colors for specific tier.
The principle behind the tiers fpr fppd is with respect to the cost that I can now absorb and don't need to be paid back for BUT "you're" not getting my food, time, and effort without giving a little - ultimately, but by proxy - to the Mairfare/host charity. Give as much as you want, or eat well for a little.
It might need a little tweaking, but in that the convention is actively fundraising and encourage participation throughout - expressly to raise money for an established, publicized charity - means I simply have to document/maintain a thorough, good-faith effort to profit zero and participate likewise in the fund raising of the convention. And upon making that ultimate donation, I can dedicate/credit the donation to /mlpol/.
The only liability then pertains to food safety and available on-demand nutrition data.
I'll clear it all with a legal professional in advance, but it is seeming - the more I research - that I actually can mix donations and rewards.

>To be a gift for such purposes in the present context there must be, among other requirements, a payment of money or transfer of property without adequate consideration. As a general rule, where a transaction involving a payment is in the form of a purchase of an item of value, the presumption arises that no gift has been made for charitable contribution purposes, the presumption being that the payment in such case is the purchase price. Thus, where consideration in the form of admissions or other privileges or benefits is received in connection with payments by patrons of fund-raising affairs of the type in question, the presumption is that the payments are not gifts.

While you may not be a 501(c)3 charity, see earlier in the thread where you yourself were worrying about legal ramifications of selling food vs giving it away.

I appreciate your attempts to help, but when it comes to legal shit, I can't be certain that the purpose refferred to in "for this purpose" is accurate; I'm not convinced it is for several reasons, most expressly because there is no implied, expressed, intended, or available tax claims associated, which is where alot of such liability stems from.
Legal consultation is priced in. I'm looking at making the idea as good as it can be.

Let me rephrase. Let me worry about why it will be legal.
As my potential audience, I am interested in how I can make the idea better.

avoiding any chance of legal reprisal would help with that, you can't exactly serve tacos when some asshurt tranny calls you in for selling food without all of your Ts dotted and Is crossed. Good luck with your idea anon, I tried to help.

I missed this post cuz typing
You seem to have difficulty with the idea that this is an idea in progress/evolution.
I dont expect the idea to be perfect now. I do think the idea could be perfect in due course.
And no, Im not interested in listening to somepony who just wants to be a dick about shit is wrong, unconstructively, citing 50 page docus that MAY be related. Like I said, Ill pay someone for authorotative information.

You misunderstand.
Your input is not constructive. Perhaps it could be, but currently it is laboriously not.
