gorm you have done nothing productive in this regard and have constantly trivialized the efforts that went into enforcing the rules that are ALREADY in place. sorry that you just dont get it. and the peer pressure attempt has gone on for years. i, personally, have improved my kit, my gear, my clothe...

yes, every wednesday. i have three new students showing up off an on each week and two to six regulars. stop on by, we get started around 730 and go until whenever. pm me if you need the url with directions and a map. regards logan Thanks for the replies! My friends and I were hoping there was more ...

the best thing i ever did for my ground work was to start wearing cleats. i suggest linebacker cleats first or even running back cleats. 3/4 top is the way to go. no footwear supports the foot and ankle better than cleats do. they are designed to do exactly what heavy fighting requires. and they are...

dukelogan

thats fantastic! first series of shots is such a long way from where he was just a few short months ago. im so glad to hear it and im sure he will walk through the experience like it was nothing. to him, at least, it should be nothing. on to the non important stuff, the sca and those that participat...

dukelogan

actually we agree. the law that i enacted in atlantia does allow plastic to be seen if it looks good. 99% of the plastic out there does not. the stuff noble plastics makes looks great and is hard to distinguish from 2 feet away. but that is the exception. hence, the allowance in the rules. there pro...

dukelogan

lacquered grass and hair has a very specific look. while i am more than happy to support that most "japanese" kits look like ass. very few look like anything better than plastic plates. which look like crap. please take a look at actual eastern armor (which has no place on the field at an sca event....

dukelogan

no, i got your point. and andres is a fine guy. i call him a friend. his feet look like shit. i hate them and i look the same. my feet look like ass. i wear cleats as well. just like him. it sucks and i am getting mine fixed. i hope he does but if not so be it. he will still look like crap because o...

dukelogan

as an atlantian i count so i will start Hmmm, Hey, Atlantians, a question for ya. How many friggin people did you all have walking around in Blue Barrel Plastic Armor? very few in blue. far too many in all other colors. I mean, as often as His Grace Logan mentions it, you guys must not have been ab...

dukelogan

100% correct. i dont care about the new guy looking like a reject from the road warrior or a tuchux. its the guy that should know better that has been in the sca for 3 years and looks stupid. the new guy was, however, guided by someone that should know better and that is the guy i blame. i work with...

dukelogan

had another question asked that i thought would be best answered here. the atlantian rules regarding blatantly modern materials on the field will only be enforced on atlantian citizens at the squires tourney. as long as you meet your kingdoms requirements you are ok. although i would hope that you w...

dukelogan

in short, yes. it takes an extreme amount of technique to deliver accurate, powerful, and fast blows. sca sport combat is its own creation and there are a ton of different styles and different technologies. unlike most sports there are a limitless amount of ways to do "it". so you have to travel aro...

dukelogan

would you then be ok if a guy showed up in his football gear with the few exceptions like a metal helmet and hard knees/elbows? i mean as long as he is having fun and all it really shouldnt matter. right? logan I was looking at the 'who's who' thread and there was this picture of a knight in white s...

dukelogan

the rules in the enforcement section of the marshals handbook state: The following guidance is provided for determining acceptable forms of footgear: Leather or leather-look boots, in a color consistent with period practice are acceptable. This includes standard leather combat boots, but would exclu...

dukelogan

let me bother with this one last time........ My opinions were legitimate responses to the question posted, which was how we feel about the rule now that it's been in place for ~7 months. it was your opinion that i responded to. sorry you thought that you should be able to post your thoughts without...

dukelogan

yikes! give me a buzz at home (704 537 7999). im in charlotte and can cerainly help you out with some intro to the sca. or, just email me at dukelogan@bellsouth.net

i have some recent video of you that i could capture an image from. that would, of course, give me creative license. regards logan HG LOGAN said: ps there arent many pictures on the site because our knights are slack and wotn[sic] send me pictures!!! but feel free to browse around: Well I send one i...

dukelogan

good question. no, the atlantian laws only apply in atlantia. good luck on your squiring. regards logan I imagine that in the SCA it would look better, but for something like a sci-fi con, blue plastic could look pretty cool. Logan, are the Atlantian rules regarding appearance going to be in effect ...

dukelogan

yeah ive been a huge fan of corbys since i first met him years ago. he has always been a fine example of a knight and i am lucky to have met him. that and he fights really well through that little eye slot. regards logan ps there arent many pictures on the site because our knights are slack and wotn...

dukelogan

sorry the images are a little dark. they were supplied to me to put on the site: m regards logan BdB. Yup, that's the Corby (sorry for the spelling). I thought his personia was 12th Cent, but I wasn't sure. As I've stated, I really don't think there's enough interest the 13th C. Mord.

dukelogan

honestly gorm you should move on to one of your other issues. the heavy handed way this was implemented covered the course of two complete reigns in which the populace of the kingdom was asked for its commentary and i went as far as to ask members of the sca in general for counsel. his then (and now...

the section regarding footwear can be found in marshals policy: The following guidance is provided for determining acceptable forms of footgear: Leather or leather-look boots, in a color consistent with period practice are acceptable. This includes standard leather combat boots, but would exclude le...

dukelogan

in atlantia we have far too many awards as it is. however, we do have several that can easily cover extraordinary applications of appropriate gear on the field. i dont think that creating yet another color of award in atlantia would do anything. using the current awards for such a worthy act of reco...

dukelogan

next most popular question is: what time do i sign in? ahhh good question. the tourney starts around 3 so we will start letting knights/masters sign their students in around 2 or so. seems to be a lot of interest brewing already! hope to see many of you there. regards logan Some people are like Slin...

im viewing through a 19" princeton flat screen at 1024 x 768 so i dont think the problem is the monitor size. i think its in the settings for the column width. thanks though, it makes viewing the thread a ton easier. like the gif too! regards logan I gots grieves! Fixed the pics, I forget there are ...

dukelogan

allen, the shot, as described, is a flat snap. basically a swing at the side of the head. if it only hits the snout of of the helm with the tip of the sword it would not hit the head at all if the helm was not there. not being in the sca but.... The other thing is that if you were not wearing the pi...

dukelogan

thaddeus please delete the picture on the right or move it under the other picture. its caused the cells to line up past the viewing area which requires scrolling to read peoples posts. murdock, i wear partial greaves almost to the tops of my shins. but ,y leg armor is crappy anyway so try not to lo...

dukelogan

t bob, shame on you. havent you realized that those words become illegible to those that they are not convenient for? no matter how clear the charter is there will always be people that are simply not interested in following the rules. that much is clear. further, they tend to press their desire on ...

sounds like a plan. so here goes mine:

DONT FORGET THE KNOWN WORLD SQUIRES TOURNEY ON THURSDAY AUG. 19th AT 3PM!!!

dukelogan

i have received a number of questions regarding the tourney so let me try to kill them all with one post: the format will be an atlantian speed tourney. we average around 150 fighters each year and we get down in around an hour. it will be double elim it will be fought with atlantian combat conventi...

dukelogan

i too use stove bolts to hold my edging on. i suggest grinding the head of the stove bolt down so that the slot disappears. this will make it look like a rivet and it will, in turn, blue the steel from the heat. i dont use washers so what i do is tap the side of the bolt head on the anvil to make it...

dukelogan

i got confirmation regarding my 6th annual "Known World's Squire Tourney".

we are slated for thursday the 19th on the blue list field from 3-6 pm.

last year we saw 150+ entrants. i look forward to seeing what this year has in store.

christian, would you then knight someone that wore a french revolutionary kit? what about a civil war uniform? how about a cave man get up? or a tshirt and jeans under their plastic belly band? [ OK, I think I see where you're coming from Your Grace... So, you have to draw the line somewhere... Wer...

christian, would you then knight someone that wore a french revolutionary kit? what about a civil war uniform? how about a cave man get up? or a tshirt and jeans under their plastic belly band? no, the uniform does not make the knight. but an understanding of what the sca claims to be and how it is ...

That's not a bad deal. Is this electronics store anything like Radio Shack?

dukelogan

simple, the sca is full force (well, in most kingdoms) non-choreographed fighting. if i hit you with a piece of steel as hard as i do with rattan you would break. the scas combat system is its own beast and can not be compared to anything else. i am more than happy to hit my friends as hard as i do ...
