The Armour Archive

Morgan

Yeah, as an example, my broken arm at Estrella only got documented because I made sure it did. I didn't know it was broken until I got back to Dallas, and then I had to hunt down the right people to get the injury reported to the Estrella officials.

Morgan

I understand the point that the elbow and gorget rules are clarifications of badly worded rules. However, that doesn't really matter. The badly worded rules have spawned interpretations that demonstrate (atlantia with elbows, Trimaris and Ansteorra, among others with the gorgets) that the rules may ...

Morgan

Jurgen, I know where you're coming from concerning 40 years of data, and that our data is largely incomplete, particularily anything more than a certain age. But with neck injuries, you'd think we'd have some institutional memory with regards to how many fighters have been killed or paralyzed by get...

Morgan

yes. in AEthelmearc, there are people who will flip if you touch their body with a shield in a tourney. in the past it has been considered 'grappling'. shield/weapon contact only. i mentioned on another thread my surprise the first time i fought w/ Ansteorrans and they chicken-winged my arm over my...

Morgan

I bet if you show up, someone pretty cool will be there to teach you SOMETHING. Of course, I may have inside information.

Morgan

Ah...the seller in on Long Island, so you're just speculating that this might be stolen. Got it.

These kinds of things pop up now and then. It's often an abandoned storage unit or the like. But yeah, any Easties think this stuff looks familiar or have any stolen armour reports lately?

Morgan

Did you ask him where he came across this treasure trove?

"Wow, that's a pretty good deal for someone. I've never seen you fight in that stuff, where did you come across it? Do you know who made it?"

You don't have to accuse him of stealing it to ask some innocent questions.

Morgan

Where is everyone getting the size and the price? I can't find the auction site.

Morgan

So did you hear back from your customer in Tulsa, Eric?

Morgan

They aren't the best looking or the worst looking...Von Sussen sells bascinets on eBay.

Morgan

As a potential customer, my first question to myself is whether they have their priorities in order. Move and get life set up. Very important. But is "update website and start taking new orders" more important than "contact existing customers who have their orders late and let them know what is goin...

Morgan

The archers I know all put some odd color "thing" on their arrow. It may be a series of color stripes or whatever. They put the same color combo on all arrows, in addition to their names. it's easier to see your own color combo in the same place on every arrow as you go through the pile.

Morgan

it works for me.

Morgan

I've been to a lot of kingdoms, but Caid isn't one of them so I can't really say. "Dressed nice" is so relative. For example, if you see 10 early period persona people dressed as nicely as they can be correctly, and 10 in Tudor, the IMPRESSION that MOST people get is that the Tudors are "dressed nic...

Morgan

Too much specialization, IMO. I think that the moderation and encouragement of better subject lines such as [SCA] or [Event Announcement] would be a fantastic step. But more subs isn't really the best way to go. I've seen boards with 50+ sub boards, and they're usually mostly desolate places. I mean...

Morgan

What bothers me the most is what that does to our new people. Totally discourages them from becoming active. They get in, get excited, and then get screwed by someone's bad business practices.

Morgan

Aren't you the Sven who used to fight?

Nice looking hat!

Morgan

Is that stainless?

Morgan

Didn't you wear these as legs? LMAO

Morgan

Shinobipants asked- hello there. i have heard only whispers of the tuchux. having never been to pennsic myself, i was hoping i could get a few tales about them and maybe some individual impressions and opinions about said group. Sir Morgan replied- I've never heard one whisper and I've never heard a...

Hey Andras, you PM'd me but I am not able to use the PM system right now, some error that I'm sure JT will fix shortly. Your provile doesn't have an email address. So here is your answer: First, the Bedford practice is not yet official...so we don't have to deal with offical stuff. That being said, ...

Morgan

Very well done, Michael. I hope they send you cool pictures for your website!

Morgan

PMs don't seem to be working and I can't find an email address for you. I was looking at this post on your stainless knees, and I'm interested in a pair for SCA combat. how much? You can PM me or email me at morganbuchanan at hotmail dot com. Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from you. Sir Morgan B...

Morgan

Especially since they're selling ungodly expensive authentic boots to go with it... make 'em, and put 'em in the picture!

Morgan

No problem my man

KK

There you go. 2K. That's about all that crap is worth, but it's a pretty costume. Resin...yeesh.

That's a lot of leather work and I understand why he wants the $$$ he wants.

Morgan

Hey Sam... WElcome to Ansteorra. If you have trouble contacting anyone in the San Antonio area (The Barony of Bjornsborg) please let me know and I'll put you in contact with good folks. When you start attending events, make sure to let me know and I'll look you up and say HI. I generally attend a lo...

Morgan

I'd never suggest for a moment that people with some degree of fame have not been involved in the SCA. They certainly have. But if Robin Williams was a KNIGHT of the society, we'd know about it. I mean, if he was playing prior to Mork and Mindy (AS12) people would remember him. BELIEVE ME, that guy ...

Morgan

LMAO

That's too funny. And I don't believe it for a minute. Gotta love the Wiki sometimes.

Morgan

Let's say that BdeB ordered a riveted shirt and a heraldic banner, and they were shipped at the same time......

Would it be said that "the checky is in the maille"?

I believe you're both talking about the same thing. When Logan says "full speed without full force" I'm pretty certain he's talking about "removing a link in the power train" at some point. Without doing that, it is indeed impossible to deliver full speed sans full force.

Morgan

He says "steel combat" ***AND*** "re-enactment" in his initial post. You can do one, you can do the other, and I suppose you could figure out a way to do both at the same time. But re-enactment INDICATES that an absolute necessity to do things EXACTLY as they were is there. Napoleon can't win at Wat...

It seems that the known world chiv has recognized a lot of the names in this thread, it being 2 years old, I counted the names of upwards at least 17 who were named as top unbelts who've been knighted since...

Look, Pennsic is about 3 things. Well, 2 things, but 1 thing has an A and a B. First and foremost, Pennsic is about Chocolate Milk. Secondly, it's about Sex and Bunny fur bikinis. Everything else is just a diversion until the next time you have chocolate milk, sex, or get to oogle a girl in a bunny ...
