they don't market their swords for C&T. it just happened that my ACL sword is legal for that. they do custom work however, so send them to your specs.

Palymar

Not good and bad batches, different style blades for different applications.

Palymar

I have been told by a C&T marshal that my ACL longsword would be legal for use in Cut and Thrust.

You can see me using said Longsword in this link:

I just missed the $100.00 bid, so I'll go $120.00

Palymar

$100.00

I wish I had gotten a chance to cross swords with Nigel and a host of others that where there. But I did get to fight Gregoire and that was a great time

Palymar

Unfortunately, my 15 yr old son can't attend Pennsic this year.

Palymar

Thank you Your Excellency.

I look forward to airing out my new armor

Duke Palymar

Palymar

HRM of the Middle Kingdom was hoping to participate in this battle. I will stand with him if he does.

Palymar

LOL

captobvious has gotten his "15 mins' of fame.

No need to give him any more

This Crown is the hardest one to predict since I started doing my Tourney Odds. There is a lot of talent and a lot of experience. This is my best guess as to how they stack up. Duke Dag Thorgrimsson 2 - 1 Sir Havard Elrick 2 - 1 Duke Stephen of Beckenham 4 - 1 Earl Lutr Ulfskjald 4 - 1 Sir Ixtilixoc...

Palymar

I've heard something similar, but no details yet.

Palymar

I'll tell him, but I don't think he will be very keen on the idea.

Now, if you can get his squire that was just knighted, Sir Havard interested...

I did get video, I haven't had time to review it for publishing. Later this week for sure

Palymar

Bout's 3 and 5 didn't upload properly, so I am trying again.

As to how old the fighters: Moonwulf is a bit over 60, Eli in his mid to late 50's, Dag is 50 +/- a year and Felix and Ragnvaldr are mere pups in their early to mid 40's

Palymar

I'm uploading videos of all 5 fights now. They should be completed by tuesday morning. My youtube profile is Dukex3

Palymar

Any word on the other finalist? And the quarter finalist?

Palymar

Ursus,
Great pictures. I owe you a drink or 5 for ones from Friday's Bridge battle

Palymar

Okay, so in a different thread the 'passive controlled shield is armor' was mentioned several times. I'd like to get opinions of something I've seen and havn't figured out if it is correct or not. Fighter has a strapped shield. Strap around the fore-arm, handle of leather held with a full gauntlet....

Palymar

Congratulations to Their Royal Highnesses! But if you are a pole-arm fighter, you are suppose to win Tarl's pole-arm tourney BEFORE crown tournament :lol: Maynard For every Rule, there is an exception :-) And to be sure, His Highness is a skilled pole-arm fighter. He as done something no one else h...

Well said Your Highness

Thanks for posting those.

Here are my Odd for the List. Of course I am always interested in hearing DA's take.

Palymar

To even suggest that is ok is to suggest I can take my shield and smash you in the body or head and NO ONE thinks that is ok. That's not what he asked. He asked if it was legal to push a shield with an arm or leg. My answer is yes, it's legal, but not always very smart. Please show me where in the ...

Case study: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhQ1MK15FPY&feature=related Skip right to 5:29...not only is this display of badassery legal, it is completely awesome!! I can see there are ways in which it could be abused, but just follow the basic 'Don't be a douche' rule and all will be well. Not a Le...

I don't bring a dagger to a polearm fight :-) I do occasionally grab a polearm haft when fighting with a polearm. If someone lets go of their polearm when I do, *I* can tell if it is deliberate or not. If it is, I make an example of them. I'm not looking to get into a wrestling match, I'm going for ...

Palymar

Who decides if someone Deliberately ran into the ropes or Deliberately fell over?

It's typically very easy to tell, unless the person is a very good actor.

In which case, they got away it. Hope they are proud of their 'skills'

Palymar

And as for dropping the weapon, that is total cowardice. And I mean that. . I believe that Deliberately dropping/releasing a weapon is against SCA rules. Doing so makes you Helpless. Just like deliberately running into the ropes or falling over on the ground. All three examples will cause the Marsh...

Palymar

Good luck to all the combatants and consorts.

This would be a great Crown to watch. Lots of great guys competing.

Hope there is plenty of video for those of us too far away to attend.

Palymar

feel this one is going to be the Ducal Wars :) And my odds reflect that. Duke Stephan of Beckenham 2 - 1 Duke Bardolph Odger Windlaufer 2 - 1 Jarl Ullr Amaranthson 10 - 1 Sir Ixtilixochitl de Los Indios 25 - 1 Sir Guerric der Wilde Fuchs 25 â€“ 1 Sir Cellach macChormach 75 - 1 Everyone else - I wish...

Palymar

As long as there are at least two warranted Midrealm marshals present and willing to do so, you can authorize there.
