a great example of what fails with much of the marshallate in the sca. to be frank hrolfr you would be in error and way out of line. let us keep one thing clearly in mind when we discuss fighting in the sca, specifically heavy combat. the sca is the one place that i know of that allows full contact ...

of course i wasnt insulted! i was just kidding around with my post to alaric, the slow fat duke. i dont think there is anyone that would write me off as an easy fight. i guess i just need to do a whole bunch of pick ups at pennsic next year. not sure what valharic says but i bet its a bit exaggerate...

dont think i will be sticking pins in him but the thought is funny nonetheless. alfred to answer your question i have tried the typical leather strap right across the bend of the elbow with the little metal buckle. i had the buckle dead center (the way i was shown) and then i moved it off to where i...

toughest fighters list?? im like a gaffer in a movie credit? gee thanks...... either way, i havent rated on anyone list of good or difficult fighters. 8^( we would love to have you guys down for the holiday seasons (you know i dont celebrate christmas or any other religious dogma). anytime is good f...

i hope that i will get to fight with you a little soon my friend. i will be at pennsic and might be at gulf wars, sorta. probably will only be at the hotel and will not come to the site (only visiting friends and being with my guys). but we can fight somewhere nearby. if not i want at least 10, your...

the hockey elbows i wear are no longer in production. however, any professional grade hockey elbow will do you fine. ccm makes some of the better stuff out there: http://www.nex2nothin.com/details.asp?prodid=637&cat=6&path=1,6 i will tell you that i have not received a single elbow injury since i st...

nope, its t justus (master eldrid tremayne) 12ga stainless bascinet. i modified the grill so that it mounts flush and added the coronet. other than that its his standard stainless bascinet made to fit my head. we just attached the stainless welded chain and cleaned it up a bit. only thing left is to...

winterfell, if the gap was greater than 1" the helm fails. the marshal should know that and should have a gauge with him to check it. broadway, there is no requirement for anything on the shield elbow as long as the shield covers it in atlantia. should the weapon arm get struck, forcing the victim t...

nope, that would be the spear and the lack of either armor, control, strong bones, whatever. the slider would have nothing to do with it. technically.

lubeck, sorry i sure wasnt clear with my comment. our crown also signs the warrant as a final form of acceptance (they do, afterall, have to work with these officers during the reign and should have some say) but the warrant itself is issued by the society officer. i hope that makes more sense and i...

dukelogan

flonzy! now now, they are making an attempt. they are probably poor college students and that is the best they can do. how dare you make fun of them or demand anythign of them as long as they make an attempt! that is the direction the sca is heading in and i, for one, am glad to see things that assi...

dukelogan

look forward to seeing those pictures andrew. my guys are scrambling to get the best looking covers on the field and we are planning a get together to make a bunch of stuff. they have so much energy and drive these days it really make me proud. would love to have your examples to show them as well. ...

dukelogan

the intention of the rule would indeed ban them without question. if this is not enforced you should first remind the marshal and then second let master alan know.

dukelogan

no problem and thanks for asking for clarification. a rapier blade can kill you if it fails catastrophically. it will almost certainly cause grievous harm. a piece of rattan cant kill you (sure, if you move this way, and i move this way, and your helm is here, and jupiter lines up with pluto, blah b...

dukelogan

so dont go off on him. ask him directly and openly. do it politely and glean as much info as you can from him. use the old communication tool of saying "yeah, sure" to his 'points'. he will offer you more information than you need. perhaps he has a reason for what he did. he might have meant well bu...

dukelogan

by all means you need to contact master alan. personally i think the marshallate is in shambles throughout the sca based on my own experience. 99% of the time those that give up their "play time" to serve the fighting communities mean well and only have the best intentions in mind. but that has litt...

dukelogan

yeah but he is scared to deal with combat archery and its use or effectiveness in period warfare. not to mention the imbalance it causes in sca combat. sure the sliders are cheesy but they are wholly ineffective. they have been around for years and have ever proven to be anything but a scam. regards...

dukelogan

i assume you mean pending your warrant from kingdom since the crown has nothing to do with your warrant. unless your custom is to refer to your kingdom offices as crown offices. regards logan <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Origi...

tried here too. hope you get more info.

part of why, and only part, i have been a big fan of andrews for a while now.

ps my challenge to you still stands my brother

dukelogan

cant answer that one directly since i dont ever really think about "winning" a tourney, just the fight. however, in retrospect, i have won many of the bearpit tourniews i have entered. even when some genius decides to throw in some caveat like "when you win three you are out" in some effort to do so...

dukelogan

you misunderstand me. i am not suggesting that there ought to be a ban on them. there are a ton of people using them and a ton of people out there that dont get injured with them. i fight at a different level than most of them. i throw stout blows against some of the best in the world. and they too ...

dukelogan

the text of the "start" date was not my addition. it was the addition of the kingdoms earl marshals office. i seem to recall a start date too but maybe it was just folklore. while plastic is plastic we made certain exceptions. usually gauntlets like egg gauntlets look far worse when covered than the...

dukelogan

exception #3 basically allows things like egg gauntlets. even though i think they are terrible unsafe (i have xrays to prove it) they do not look horrible from a distance. the mention that they should be covered with something to bring them into agreement with the spirit of the law allows certain ex...

dukelogan

these are very simple plans and, i would guess, do a great job of hiding the blatantly modern stuff. the law i wrote comes to be dec 1 and there are a lot of people in atlantia looking for ideas. i really appreciate all the help and suggestions guys. and please do send pictures either to me or to th...

back in february i was down in florida to help move a lady of my house back to north carolina. while i was there in trimaris my squire (who came with me to help the move) and i went out and helped at a demo in northern florida. one thing that left a great impression on me was the wonderful covers ma...

dukelogan

i certainly was not offended by your post at all. i hope you didnt think i was. i responded to it partially because it mentioned me, and partially because it was an honest narration. regards logan <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>...

dukelogan

the amount of force transferred from a blow delivered full force through a metal sword (very thin impact line and no give) and that of a piece of rattan (1 1/4" impact line and a fair amount of give) are so vastly different it doesnt even warrant comparison. we dont get hurt from rattan swords becau...

dukelogan

brendan, so im a drama queen now? not hate mail bro but you can kiss my ass. if some idiot can not control his spear that is his issue and take him off the field. apples and oranges. and dude, save your little personal snipes for someone who cares, really. tossing your vitriol at me via the internet...

dukelogan

you got it pretty right. but just to be clear let me state a few things: i am not against combat archery only the rules that cause it to create an imbalance in the sport of sca combat. i do not like the idea of having thin pieces of wood flying as my face sight unseen without even being allowed to p...

dukelogan

glad to see that you, at least, are able to understand one of our major issues with thin shafted arrows. but i must say, to hell with the guy who shot the arrow could you imagine being the guy who loses sight in an eye for the rest of his life because he was allowed to be a moving target for someone...
