The problem there is the rule as written doesn't answer the basic question is that 2" before or after you trim to shape, if there are 2 reasonable ways to read it then it's not a rule being gamed it's an unclear rule. That's because, as an organization, we have a long and colorful history of suckin...

Baron Eirik

I hope guys don't try to game the rules on this one, that just tends to make the marshals dig in on a question. Give it some time, it will sort out.

Nah, not chains. High-strength cable tie-outs work better and chafe less.

Baron Eirik

Don't get me wrong, it's their Kingdom, their rules. I'm more curious as to hearing their side and how many injuries they were having. I love Gulf Wars, wish Border Raids & AWP didn't conflict, and have a squire & several friends there. Nothing but good experiences with them.

A little Pete Rose of you, isn't it?

Baron Eirik

Hm... Isn't there an excessive force rule already on the books? I may have an odd perspective (since they almost certainly bought said 'High-Capacity Assault Rattan' from me), but if a guy is hitting too hard, I feel it's more a control/training problem than the weapon. I'm the first to tell guys th...

Loading up tonight and heading out tomorrow afternoon. Plenty of rattan and all the thrust tips & spear caps and miscellaneous stuff I always have.

See folks there!

Baron Eirik

Check thru the thread, there were some reporting discrepancies discussed as I recall.

I emailed with Sir Alaric (MK EM). He's working on the revisions to MK rules with this release.

Baron Eirik

I have found that trying to make rules to enforce an idea of courtesy just makes more rules and less courtesy.

Baron Eirik

Please, Your Grace, don't hold it in like that.

And, btw, while I do not feel as strongly as you on that issue, I do agree. I wear elbow armor under my (strapped) shield mainly so I don't have to worry if/when I switch to another style, but I did not see the point of requiring it either.

Baron Eirik

Check with your KEM, but the Society Marshal just posted these: Changes to the Marshal's Handbook - May 2013 Change to page 12, VI. ARMOR REQUIREMENTS: OLD VERSION OF RULE: G.

It's possible, and arguably probable, that specific individuals in power did use the religion to their own purposes. But to say the whole faith was built solely or turned to that purpose, no, not plausible.

I plan to get at AWP Thursday evening.

Two. A 6' and a 7.5'

Baron Eirik

Learn all three. They are all useful at different times. Especially when you change up in the middle of the fight.

Baron Eirik

$70 for the rattan, $16 shipping (FedEx)

Baron Eirik

Zip code?

Baron Eirik

I'll check the trailer this evening after work. I don't think I have any already planed at that length, but could get them planed & ready in about a week.

Baron Eirik

Flatsided(planed) or just thick? I know I have up to about 2.4" diameter. I'd have to take the calipers out to check for anything thicker.

I suck at multitasking.

Somehow I misread what you wanted and figured for two, not four. The sticks are $21.50 each. Shipping for four(4) is $20.

leekellerking wrote:Any of that good 1 1/2" stuff left, Eirik? And shipping to 77478 for 2 or 3 sword lengths?

Always

$13 (Fedex) for 3. Maybe a buck-ish less for 2.

Baron Eirik

I'll have to check to see if I have some that thick still. If I do, it's $43 for the rattan, $17 shipping (Fedex)

Baron Eirik

You have a choice:

Fedex - $17 shipping, 4 day delivery, or

USPS Standard, $13 and about 7 days.

Shipping from here to PNW, or anything at or past the Rockies has gotten bad.

Baron Eirik

A) how many sword lengths? (Warning, the shipping on 1 will be pricy, 2 or 3 becomes less unreasonable)

B) You would send the money to the email address of the individual (mgaeirik@sbcglobal in my case).

Baron Eirik

And a quick reminder: Cutoff is midnight tomorrow.
