depending on size, that sounds about right. ice and i will be fully stocked with T6-6061 and our new 22ga hardened brass plates in april. ebonwoulfe armory will carry loose plates and icefalcon armory will carry completed kits. once we have an arrival date one of us will get the word out. regards lo...

duke anton used to say it looked like two fat ladies fighting over fish. he said that about a lot of stuff and to this day i have no idea what it means. i just know that when i imagine it the picture is always bad. logan Your Grace I thank you for your kind invitation, I look forward to stopping by ...

dukelogan

but its been suggested that you lack the skill to just know where a good shot is. sadly. and, its out of line to suggest that someone mark their hidden knee. for some reason. weird. regards logan Ya know what I do to those bastard jerks that call my shot low if their knee isn't marked? Yeah? Nothing...

dukelogan

i agree 100% nothing makes your eyes roll more than being in a tough fight with another "top of the food chain" guy than to get that rare shot, throw it, land it with force, and have the guy say "that was low". the marshals cant help because they too cant tell. so, when the targe...

dukelogan

could be that wierd anatomy stuff like the two weapon guy who gets hit in the ribs and drops to his knees?

dukelogan

sorry to confuse you. see the sem said that sanctioning someone for a legal blow, in his mind....., made sense. so does threatening folks while ignoring the policies of his office. so does placing his hands on a fighter while acting as a field marshal while cursing them and calling shots, and blah b...

dukelogan

no no no, you have to be willing to threaten sanctions. legal blow, or not, sanctions. i mean we have the power to threaten people and we will because we can!!! we can also investigate folks, ignore our own policy, ignore kingdoms and their fighters just to pull our pud and witchhunt them..... oh wa...

dukelogan

im sorry to hear you say that this sir charles would have been "less forgiving" if he fought me today and i would have done that accidently. if he would, or anyone, have treated me as a lesser man because of an accidental shot then the result would have been on him. if he thought less of m...

dukelogan

i would still like a response to this and dont want it buried. then i might have misunderstood the concerns as they were conveyed to me. no "half-truths" only, as i clearly said, what was described to me. personal agenda? sure, i care a lot about our culture and our sport and i prefer tran...

dukelogan

i agree. every fighter should be held to the same standard. what happens, sadly, is that knights are often held to some skewed standard that implies "this behavior is perfectly ok for lord bob but not acceptable at all for SIR bob". thats bs. either an action or behavior is acceptable for ...

dukelogan

you bring the beer (miller lite of course) and i will bring the tequila and pickle juice. just so nobody gets confused, the beer is for me! regards logan Dude, we will see each other in just over a week gotta save something for around the fire. Thor- i would love to hear the story(ies) about this on...

dukelogan

i would love to hear the story(ies) about this one. ive heard stories about someone saying "that was above the coronet" and not taking the shot. several times ive heard this tale and with several names attributed to it. hell, i wouldnt be surprised to hear my name attached to it at some po...

then i might have misunderstood the concerns as they were conveyed to me. no "half-truths" only, as i clearly said, what was described to me. personal agenda? sure, i care a lot about our culture and our sport and i prefer transparent discourse as well as holding what i perceive as abuse o...

dukelogan

i agree 100% with the notion that we are the reason our sport is so safe. that is our charge, our responsibility, and our duty. 300 pages of rules are not the reason. simple guidance sure, but our very non-dangerous weapons are made more non-dangerous because they are in our hands. and i understand ...

dukelogan

but you would hit me in the hamstring or the point of my shoulder? its amazing how women have participated in muay thai for so many years being hit with front tip kicks to the breasts (under only a shirt) yet there isnt a history of this imagined damage. tip kicks carry a ton more power than anythin...

dukelogan

omarad you really do yourself an injustice when you suggest you know anything about my feeling on safety. my objection to your opinion is that we can sanction someone throwing legal blows. in 20+ years of sca sport combat ive met one person, one, who targeted the groin intentionally. i was introduce...

dukelogan

this is a huge problem in my mind. huge, very telling, and terribly disturbing. even if it came from a small cantons knights marshal it would be very troubling. logan That rule has been there forever and if you seriously can't figure out why then you must not need to protect that area. Yes, it's leg...

dukelogan

no offense is intended. what i mean is that readng a book about any physical contest will not really teach someone how to do it. it can give basics. for example, ive read many books on boxing and have found them of very little use other than the most simple basics. non-choreogrphed sparring is what ...

dukelogan

didnt see the subtitles option. glad to know that the media wasnt involved in that way as they often do not "get it right" so to speak. certainly a very professional video production! regards logan Umm.... Its a group that produced their own video.... Turning the subtitles on would have ex...

dukelogan

made it almost seven whole minutes. saw a bunch of kata choreographed stuff, some very very basic judo katas, and what looked like another group poorely represented by whatever media group did the story. they always try to present fringe groups like these, and the sca, and add some little humor aspe...

dukelogan

my attempt at a humorous response didnt come across the way i wanted it.

dukelogan

so you never, at any time, made a comment that could have been misunderstood as you telling him that if you saw any more "low" (sic) shots you would throw him off your field? or you could continue to avoid the question. its happened before. logan William, I would like to say this. I really...

dukelogan

then i was misinformed or misunderstood. i thought i was told that you stated the you would throw him off your field if you saw anymore "low" shots (sic). even though the shot was not low or even close to low. if you made no such threat i withdraw my concern about that. logan No threats we...

dukelogan

either a shot is legal or it is not. accidents do happen and this, i am sure, was an accident and should have not come with any threats from the marshallate. as for the shoving part i was simply told by a witness that "he also shoved william" and i never said anything about it being done i...

dukelogan

i clearly related the story as it was told to me, also mentioning in the immediate follow up post that i only had stories from the fighter and a few witnesses. yes, it could certainly be that they all lied about it or perhaps saw something that looked like hands being placed on someone and being pus...

dukelogan

correct. i should have said the field copy and not suggested each marshal have a current hard copy. gotta save those trees right! regards logan Second note, they are required to have one at the field, not on every Marshal. But a great idea for an iphone/Android app.!!!!! when someone is wrong they h...

dukelogan

perhaps you missed my follow up post in which i stated: i feel very similar to you. now i admit to having only heard from the fighter and a couple of witnesses and not the marshal accused of this behavior. however, when i heard about it i wasnt surprised at all as i have seen this happen with this p...

dukelogan

rhys,

those are beautiful. wow.

regards
logan

dukelogan

did the shot hit you with enough force? if not, it doesnt matter and the marshal violated the very rule by which the person struck calls the blow. that rule specifically states that marshals dont call blows (even though we know some places this disgusting idea is allowed and accepted). the correct c...

dukelogan

actually florida is currently at 12% second only to california which is at 12.5%. 12% is the highest rate of unemployment in the history of the state and we didnt enter double digits until mid-2009. now that rick scott is in office this rate will increase but 30% rates only exist in the third world....

dukelogan

oh, and after speaking with the fighter who ran into an out of line marshal last weekend who clearly acted outside his authority and purview i came to learn this marshal also placed his hands on the fighter shoving him back. also bullshit. but also not the first time this fellow has put his hands on...

dukelogan

when someone is wrong they hold no authority. i dealt with a marshal at gulf wars two years ago that told one of my subjects that he failed armour inspection because he did not have a half gauntlet on his shield hand (behind a strapped heater with a shield basket). i tried to correct him and he pull...

dukelogan

the problem with that is when a marshal is simply wrong. "obeying" an incorrect directive has no value. regards logan Personally, I consider the rule to be "obey and grieve". That is, follow the instruction(s) of the marshal at the time and then take it up in the manner provided ...

dukelogan

lets hope not.

its a subject that sometimes, at the end of a really bad day full of really bad news, makes some of us forget to behave ourselves.
