Me, I'd recommend a close helm with integrated bevor and gorget.

It REALLY solves the "I hate things around my neck" problem.

Morgan

Randy, that's a nice armet you have there...I was looking at it when I was over at Thaden's the other night.

Morgan

Awwww....I think I'm gonna cry. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif Funny thing is, I've been in Ansteorra now more than I was in Northshield. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR><font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Orig...

Morgan

JP and I are the kind of guys who don't mind it a bit on the rough side. I don't care if I win or lose, I just wanna have fun, and as far as I'm concerned, this IS a CONTACT sport.

Morgan

How do I feel? Hurt, betrayed....

Morgan

We'll show you ours if you show us yours.

Morgan

Just to advance on something Vitus said...not only should you strive to learn from your losses, your losses have nearly infinite amounts more to teach you than do a vast majority of your victories. ------------------ "Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Morg...

Morgan

Keep 'em in! You want to be the best you have to beat the best. And BELIEVE ME, the word fame you gain by beating Duke X or Count Y in a list or merely giving them a DAMN good fight is much more than actually WINNING a tourney full of people at your level or barely above. I'd bet that more would be ...

Morgan

Yeah, what JP said. I'd say Ansteorra is place, control, don't strike.

Morgan

It's looking like Dunk and I are not going to make it now...he had an accident with the truck, it will need to go into the shop, but it forces one of those economic realities. Darn....

Morgan

I think that the disagreement here is an apples/oranges thing. I never said it was unchivalrous to target an unarmoured area. I said it is unchivalrous to target an unarmoured area AND POWER UP TO CAUSE EXTRA PAIN. The first uncapitalized part is only unchivalrous when accompanied with the second ca...

Morgan

As a squire, I couldn't agree more. I know that when I think "Knights of Ansteorra", the knights that dress well I can see in my mind's eye dressed head to toe. The knights that do not dress well, I can see their faces. I've seen t-tunics that were pretty dang swank for a t-tunic. It can be done. Ea...

Morgan

I'd rather see the fighter with more honor win.

Those being equal, I'd rather the fighter I know better or who's a better friend win.

Morgan

Egfroth...I'd like to drink with you guys! Not fight with you, mind you, but drink with you for sure.

Morgan

I wonder about the chivlarousness of an individual who GOES OUT OF THEIR WAY to hit unarmoured spots, except in a case like Bedlam mentioned above. (I just agreed with a Tuchux?) http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/wink.gif teasing, man. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif I think it's dishonora...

Morgan

Get your wife to play hard-to-get. Extra laps around the bedroom can be a big help!

Morgan

I guess they're paying the Indian labor with opium again.

Morgan

Hurray! I'm assuming you mean vigil for entrance into the order of Chivalry? Any peerage is cool, just wondering.

Morgan

It looks like Earl Duncan and I will get there sometime on Wednesday afternoon.

Morgan

I understand the safety issues. The funny thing with MY helms is that a full force face shot doesn't bother me. Close helm and armet. I've been shield punched like an uppercut with a 3 1/2 foot long 1/2" thick kite and I just said, "You really should be careful, that will bother or hurt some people....

Morgan

Jengjen, once of Meridies and now in Ansteorra, is on here? I didn't know that...I'll have to talk to her at FP!

Morgan

Morgan

I love single sword at the barrier...as long as the single sword is at least 4 feet long! http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif ------------------ "Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Morgan Buchanan http://www.geocities.com/morgunnmac

Morgan

Heck, I like bumping and grinding...

oh wait, were we still talking about fighting?

Morgan

And God help us all when Timo gets bored!

Morgan

Parlan...I didn't suggest that I HAD to have a longer shield because I'm tall. I happen to prefer it. My point had nothing to do with the mechanics of fighting, but more a question of the statement about the chivalry of a fighter with a larger or smaller shield. I'm sorry I wasn't more clear about t...

Morgan

So anyone get their plans firmed up yet? Who's going?

Morgan

So now I'm less chivalrous than Vitus because I cover my 6'4" with a 20x42 shield and he covers his 5'6ish" (am I being generous?) with a much shorter shield? I hope not. I certainly woulnd't enjoy starting every fight with a shot to the thigh. Heck, I'd just START on my knees to avoid the pain! htt...

Morgan

I have two sinnric helms. My armet's spring pings are a bit weak and a good shot can shock the thing and the visor can pop open. Not much, and it's heavy, but a little. Makes some people nervous. I'm not one of them. It's been a LONG time since I've fought in my close (I'll have it back soon, yeah!)...

Morgan

Thanks you, Richard. I hope to meet you some day, if only to shake your hand. Well said.

Morgan

No support to speak of. The sole is basically to keep rocks from poking the bottoms of your feet. A good insole insert is highly recommended.

Morgan

I may not always agree with Chef, but I sure do now.

Morgan

Shoulnd't it say "Light, light, light, excessive!"

Morgan

How many guys out there have angel wings that tie up body shots and the do NOT take them?

I think if the shot would have hit you in minimum armour and tabbard, you should take it, rather than have the totally CHEEZY win due to your frigging extra equipment.

Morgan

Brit...we talking her boobies or her cherry?

I always bring crackers to bed, right Crackers?

Morgan

Well, different countries are, well...different. But I am a bit suprised maybe that a martial art was stopped in Japan. But then again, it is a "weird" martial art.

ESTRELLA!
