On November 5 2023, at a Crestfallen event, Vince Errico verbally abused Michael Fife, a beloved friend of the Crestfallen staff who famously played the NERO character Michael Cutlass and ran excellent modules at NERO Elkins. For this behavior, Vince only received a one-event ban.
During the staff meeting to discuss this matter, players were invited to give context and weigh in. Sadly, Sherri Errico (Vince Errico’s ex‑wife), the Crestfallen Second in Command, Vice President, Logistics Lead, and Rules Editor, was unable to remain calm during this meeting due to her previous relationship with Vince and defended Vince’s behavior towards Mike. Additionally she lost her patience with Scott Bennett. When Sheri lost her patience she insulted Scott’s character and judgement and the remainder of the Crestfallen staff let her untrue statements stand.
The Crestfallen staff should have followed up with the involved players to apologize for both of these incidents. This conduct should never have occurred at all, let alone in front of others.
In the future, Crestfallen will not tolerate verbal abuse, and we are sorry that this happened in this instance. If you ever experience any kind of harassment or abuse in a Crestfallen setting, please (insert policy steps here).
We regret to inform you that the Crestfallen staff were misled, which caused harm to one of our own.
Years ago, during a NERO LARP event that Vince Errico and Sherri Errico were running, Scott Bennett was writing in a journal that he kept at the time. Vince believed that Scott was plagiarizing his event and verbally abused Scott. The NERO ARGO staff took no action at the time and no warning was given. This was not our event, but would be unacceptable at Crestfallen.
Vince then spread rumors about Scott Bennett to others in the community, claiming that Scott Bennett was a plagiarist. These lies were known by the Crestfallen staff and were not publicly addressed. This was wrong of us.
Scott Bennett is not a plagiarist and has never stolen from any LARP runners. The lies that Vince Errico spread about him are unfounded, and the Crestfallen staff are deeply sorry for perpetuating and condoning this kind of behavior.
In the future, Crestfallen will address this issue sooner, directly, and resolve this kind of issue in a fair and responsible manner. If you are witness to a rumor regarding anything about our game, our game runners, or our content team, please (insert policy here).
