ATTENTION CAMPERS! With Mys around the corner and lots of brand-new (windy) land to explore, Earth Guardians want you extra MOOP-MINDED this year! We have special merit pins if you play along, so get ready for a round of KNOW YOUR BADGES! 1 | Volunteer for Burn Scar Cleanup This Monday morning shift restores the land after Temple's embers cool. Help us scoop ash and haul it away! (Want some ash for crafts or mementos? BYO container!) 2 | Volunteer for Earth Guardians All Moop Troops get a nifty badge just for showing up. Trashey says, "Only you can prevent forest MOOP!" Wear his sign with honor. 3 | Bring in Less Trash Trashey loves snacks. Trashey hates single-use packaging. Make Trashey proud - unwrap before you arrive, and prioritize reusable containers for the burn. Less work for us, more love for the land! 4 | Take out a bag of Earth Guardian Trash Our MOOP swoops fill a lot of trash bags. Someone has to take those home, and it's usually Trashey's top brass (AKA Pebbles, Toast, and Gingersnap). Help us save space in our vehicles - take some EG trash home and get a special button in thanks! 5 | See MOOP, say MOOP! You don't have to join up to be an Earth Guardian. Pick up MOOP you can manage. See someone creating MOOP? Chant at them aggressively until they pick it up! Trashey sees all, and you DON'T want to land on his shit list. 6 | Volunteer for 3+ Shifts We love volunteers! Some of these pins went out at All-Hands Weekend, but more are available for our diehard multi-shift burners. THANK YOU! 7 | Volunteer for Leadership or Critical Shifts The burn can't go on without you! Thank you for all you do, you are beloved in Trashey's ever-shining eyes. 8 | PRAISE THE SKELLYSHROOM HER GAZE IS EVER-BURNING. HER GRIN IS EVER-GROWING. SHE RISES AMONG THE TREES, TWELVE FEET OF BLEACHED BONE AND INFINITE KNOWLEDGE. WE TRIED TO WARN YOU. WE TRIED...tell her you like her fancy hat.  There seems to be a bit of confusion this year around gate hours, early entry, and re-entry so let's break it all down!
Exodus – Monday at Noon The standard gate hours are as follows:
Exodus has always been Monday at noon, although it's never been strictly enforced. We know theme camps and large builds take time to break down - most of us are part of them! That’s why, while noon is the official call, there’s always been a little wiggle room. Around that time you’ll hear the familiar chorus of Ranger and Site Ops voices yelling, “Get up and pack your shit!”. If you’re a big camp, we’ll obviously give you some wiggle room. But please, do your best to plan ahead and be packed up as swiftly as possible so leadership can go home and shower! Early Entry Rules The gate hours for APPROVED early entry are as follows:
At Armadillo Acres, early entry was a much looser thing - infrastructure set up, theme camps, and volunteers working first shifts could all submit a form to request early entry access to get the city built. But things have changed. Our new land charges per head for early entry, which means things have to change. While leads setting up their stations, Site Ops building the infrastructure, the META team building the effigy and temple, and volunteers working first shifts were asked to request early entry this year, we can't open the gate for as many people as we used to. We’re not trying to kill the vibe—we’re just working with the realities of the land contract while making sure we still get the city built in time. Re-Entry – Hard No DO NOT ARRIVE BEFORE OR AFTER GATE HOURS. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER AND WILL BE TOLD TO LEAVE. This one has been the same since forever: there is absolutely no participant re-entry. Once you’re in, you’re in. Once you’re out, you’re out. The only folks who are able to leave site and return are event organizers who are handling essential business (like Site Ops going on gas runs for generators and carts or LLC running to town for an emergency supply run if something breaks or goes missing). Allowing participants to come and go freely would be a major safety hazard and a logistical nightmare. It has never been a part of Myschievia process. TL;DR
We know some of these rules can feel a little crunchy, but they’re all in place to keep Myschievia safe and thriving. See you soon! |
