animal can you elaborate on what this intended weapon will look like? im not sure i understand what you mean by a fire hydrant toy with padding to pass sca requirements. do you mean to pad the inside of a fire hydrant shaped dog chew toy and place it on a piece of rattan? regards logan <BLOCKQUOTE><...

although i will surely miss crusades i must say that it, by far, is the most laid back large event i have ever seen. no strife, no bs, hard fighting, great fun, lots of buddies to pal around with and meet. i will miss crusades more than anything as it is far better than gulf wars can be. no loud mou...

i would suggest that it only be counted as a single handed non mass weapon at that point since you have changed its function by using it one handed. thus, should you strike with sufficent force to the ball fo the hip it would only be a leg. im not at home right now so i dont have, nor will i for a f...

ooops sorry. i guess i take for granted that we are supposed to help new people anyway. i did any time i introduced someone to the sca. helped them with their garb and their accoutrements. if they were interested in fighting i spent the time to help them put together appropriate gear and to actually...

dukelogan

the key phrase that you missed was "quality gear". nothing was suggested that a kit be a "fully period kit ". quality is nothing but a standard on which things are judged and how well they belong. i cant go to your bowling alley and bowl wearing my sneakers can i? the same applies to the sca or any ...

i would also offer that most autocrats are not fighters. when i mic an event (or when i used to) i would run only tournaments unless the autocrat (or the history of the specific event) asked for scenarios. if i did scenarios i almost always included archery but i made sure that the imbalance the pra...

perhaps they were just too over anxious with wanting to "help"? they definitely seem to be lacking in social graces and proper behavior. either way i hate hearing that she had such a bad experience because of it. thanks for filling us in. regards logan <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial...

what makes you respond in such a way? spears are not arrows (not that i agree with the sentiment, which i dont, regarding archers). but i am curious as to why you would suggest something like that. regards logan <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR><font face="Verdana, A...

just because i know bascot to be a flaming ass i thought i would try to find the logic trail that i must have missed. i snipped totally irrelevant stuff to speed this up. see it went like this. i posted this: dukelogan Archive Member posted 12-21-2003 11:25 PM ---------------------------------------...

no no no, i bought the penis helm from him along with all of my first kit. it was just two years ago when i finally got rid of that thing. took it out to the yard and hit it as hard as i could with an 18 pound sledge. the damage was significant and made me laugh even harder at the guys who think tap...

i love combat in many aspects. but i live for competition in most things. so sure, any help i can offer i am glad to give. feel free to contact me at my home address (dukelogan@bellsouth.net). i can give you my home number as well after you do. there are very few i simply wil not work with. regards ...

last event i was at was my heirs coronation. next event is pennsic. next one after that.... pennsic. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Broadway: Logan keeps sayin he quit... hehehe <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

dukelogan

yeah i did. some things happened that really gave me a clear picture of what the sca really is and it is not what i used to believe. i have not been able to get over that and, frankly, i dont want to. so im off to find something more believable to put my energy into. i am currently getting involved ...

dukelogan

while we (heavy) fighters do have that sense of community i would argue that the feeling of being on the outside that some of the combat archers feel is probably more our fault then theirs. for example look at all the posts on the armour archive regarding combat archery. as much as a few of the supp...

dukelogan

in my commentary i posted the following: "archers such as yourself must lead the way and educate your own. for you that would be both sides of the fence. teach combat archers to show some skill. encourage them to dress well and use appropriate gear. introduce them to the heavy fighters and help them...

thanks for asking me out john. im flattered and all and while i think sucking your butt might fly well for you im just not that interested. besides, i bat for the other team. thanks..... i guess. but to answer your question about having half with and half without i will offer some insight since i ha...

i agree with your assertion that new students of just about anything learn by mimickery. hell thats how we all learned to talk. however, i am very clear with new fighters that come to me that they are to be comfortable at all times. that they really need to stand and fight in a way that makes them f...

dukelogan

actually it is 10% above or below your opponent in a practice. that way you push and get pushed without it being very one sided. still 20% though just a different make up. i have never let anyone hit me. just doesnt seem to serve any purpose in my mind. i also do not fight new guys at practice (hell...

sure thing. after the first of the year i will begin putting all of my library from analog to digital then burning verious things to dvd. about 12 years of video to go through so it will be a slow and tedious project. once it has begun i am sure that the opportunities to get it will arise. regards l...

dukelogan

i havent attacked combat archers personally, only expressed disappointment in the current rule set in many kingdoms. but i do have to ask you sceotan, if you love archery as much as it seems you do then why not take it to the target field? your targets there will surely have no issues being struck f...

dukelogan

concerning your question about a superduke team being on the field i put one together a couple of years ago at pennsic during the 10 man (which, after that year, was changed to only permit five members of the chivalry per team). we were allowed as many members as we wanted but no more than 10 on the...

dukelogan

alaric with all due respect i disagree. combat archery is not shit. the rules that allow combat archery to create such an imbalance are shit. and the combat archers with the vitriolic mouths full of blah blah blah are shit. but the martial form should have a place in the sca sport combat field. the ...

well if that is the case then i can only wager a guess as i only have a small handful of enemies in the world and none in the sca that would fight me anyway. i take the word enemy very seriously and react accordingly. to me an enemy is something that i detest and must destroy at all costs. do i care...
