This RP couldn't happen today because there would be incessant complaints about how nobles shouldn't be at a bar drunk etc. http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/Ikalak_Ball
There was a long RP series on AT at the recent tournament in Riverholm. Happened in a tavern/inn/whatever. I don't remember anyone complaining. In fact, I can't remember ever hearing anyone complain about that kind of stuff IG. There was some debate about it on the forum (or maybe even on the old DList...), but nothing ever really came of it. People just use the terminology they are familiar with.
