But it is interesting seeing more details of what goes into what we see on-playa.
I've received some PMs that show individuals and camps contributing more in one year than I'll ever be able to contribute in my life.

Re: Corruption of Conclave
Hey CO, thanks for answering questions asked of me, I didn't get back to this thread right away.
Dump dogs? Hehehe. We get to use "fuel masters". But dump dog describes it.... No, I can't watch your coat, toys, pack, whatever, because MyLarry and I will be hauling ass with our fuel cart of dip cans AWAY from the pyro and big flames when it goes off. Exciting. And no smoking, and don't put your toys down here, others will trip on them. Even more exciting at the regional where we are closer to the effigy, it goes up suddenly, and there's not really a helmsman to give us a warning. That was quite the rush.

Re: Corruption of Conclave
Glad to be of assistance, Anti.
We started calling them dump dogs after the job description: Anyone with anything on fire comes near this fuel locker, you go after them like an angry junkyard dog. Barking actually helps sometimes.

I don't care what the borg says: feather-wearers will NOT be served in Rosie's Bar.
When I ask how many burns, I mean at BRC.

Re: Corruption of Conclave
I'll tell you of the spectator who put a cigarette out on MyLarry's forehead one year for being told not to smoke near the fuel cart. Best told in person. I think Larry showed great restraint as no one was maimed or arrested.

Just for the record, we call them "Fuel Bitch' here in Reno.... well....at least I do.AntiM wrote:

And for the record also, being the Fuel Bitch is probably the most difficult safety position, what with all the performers bobbing around with hot tools, and with spectators trying to violate your perimeter(almost always with lit cigarettes).
We have an obligation to make space for everyone, we have no obligation to make that space pleasant.

Re: Corruption of Conclave
That's why MyLarry and I do it as a team, he is the strong back and quick hands, I am the eyes and the second pair of hands. I've been tols I do "bitch" very well. That, and he and I like doing it together.oneeyeddick wrote:Just for the record, we call them "Fuel Bitch' here in Reno.... well....at least I do.AntiM wrote:

Re: Corruption of Conclave
As you can see, dear OP, there are several eplayans who work for Fire Conclave, and your brand of shit stirring is not welcome around these parts. IF what you're saying is true, then have the courage of your convictions and REPORT THE SHINS VIOLATING THE RULES. If you're not going to do that (by yourself or through The CO or myself), may I suggest crawling back under the rock where you and your fellow trolls spend your time figuring out how to stir shit up.

Re: Corruption of Conclave
While is unusual for Matrushka to speak vociferously on subjects not usually adressed by her... She must to make opinion known.
OP (We would to call it out by its name but words taste of unnatural disgust like air of dustless playa) has only 4 posts - ALL posted within 34 minutes of one another? We would harken to call that "shit disturbing whiny-batfuck snivelin' mole"... with flaky creepazoid ticket agenda that wants to drag righteous and hard working Conclaves into some Scabie-infested Yak Dung Conspiracy shit brewed and festering in little, mean spirited and narrow minded empty skull of said mole...
LET THIS BE SAID - Matrushka does NYET to like flaky creepazoid ticket agenda-packing shit disturbing whiny-batfuck snivelin' moles who DARE to sully the awesome and righteous labors of the Comrades of the Conclaves... Should said (deleted) show face in presence of her, they would to regret. Greviously. One does NOT to draw unfounded suspicion on Comrades of Conclaves without garnering wrath.
So says Matrushka.
