Feel free to display it in my vigil tent on Saturday night.

"What knife?"

Aten knight?

Morgan

I'm really REALLY curious about the long term durability of this material. The stuff I've used gets split reasonably quickly. With a metal core I'd think this would last longer. Keep us posted. Or maybe I'll just pony up and get it my darn self. LOL AFTER I get moved into the new house.

Morgan

Yea, I definitely want to go low profile with the edging. I'm also going to take a stab at a custom, molded plastic or hard leather shield basket that I hope will be much smaller than the steel baskets currently available. Sir Corby has made the most elegant solution to the nasty basket problem and...

There is an essay in the essay section on tuning the HF shear.

Morgan

That's as ugly as a butt.

Of course, I'm talkign about the butt of a Victoria's Secret panty model....

Very very nice man. Who did the various work on it?

Morgan

If you wake up in the mud and don't know how you got there, your first thought should be that you're points ahead to begin with.... at least you woke up.

Morgan

If you want to make a cash purchasable award, title, whatever then make a new title up. Make it a Marquis or something so that everyone immediately knows what it is and how it was bought. If there were a new title, I think it might be popular for a few people who felt otherwise inhibited, but socia...

Morgan

I agree that there are some titles that are beyone purchase, however I believe that some "service" awards could be made sellable. Is $100 bucks to the kingdom coffers worth as much as scrubbing pots at a local event to get an AoA? Is $500 worth a GoA? Will $1000 donation to the kingdom travel fund ...

Morgan

I LOVE the idea of purchased titles. I love what D. Sebastian's barony has, and I also like the idea of someone getting a court barony for example, for a large cash donation to the kingdom general fund or something. I don't care if it's a "rich douche" who does it. Certainly things like peerages tha...

Morgan

But WHY? All goals in a game are artificial. All award are artificial. I mean, our "nobility" is granted immediately, and historically that's a higher rank than knighthood. We'd still have goals, those goals would be just as hard to attain, they'd just have a differnet NAME. You're putting far too m...

Morgan

I saw on the armour sub that Knuut responded to a thead on polishing a mail aventail. So it seems he's electronically active. Hope he's responded to you.

Morgan

Let me make a counter proposal that, to me, makes more sense. Why don't we knight everyone? Seriously. Knight 'em all. Upon authorization, we have a knighting ceremony. Obvioulsy nothing like we do now. Then instead of various fighting awards, we have various knightly orders. The highest of them, sa...

Morgan

I always spin the prayer wheel when it comes to Krag's knives! You never know if it might just work sometime!

Morgan

Wow, that totally rocks, man! Beautiful!

I I I want the knife.....

please......

Morgan

Felix is an M, no longer an H.

I sure hope I can make it to Lillies! I love buckler fights.

Block with the round thingie, hit with the long wooden thingie.

Yeah, I think I'll be forwarding that to Their Highnesses Ansteorra and see if they're willing to do that for our next Crown. It may increase attendance...and attendance = profit for the kingdom, right? LOL

Morgan

There used to be a list that showed all historical K&Q's from all over the known world listed by number of reigns. See if I can find it....

www.ealdormere.sca.org/scaroyalty/

But it's listed as being offline for maintenance.

Morgan

I'm curious when you experienced this in Ansteorra.

Morgan

As a squire, I took a man at arms. He was BRAND NEW to the society and he knew NOTHING. He had a desire to fight and learn and have fun. I took him as a man at arms, to steward him into the society. It was always my intention to release him from this position should he be ready to squire before I wa...

Morgan

I don't think that safety standards across different groups are or should be any different in this regard. Sure, in the SCA we woulnd't have THIS issue, because we require face protection. But the concept is the same... if you have someone who's patently unsafe, and is causing injuries and won't fix...

Morgan

38, 39...whatever it took.

I was a Duke (of York) for a day once...that was fun.

Morgan

here we go again Hi my name is Kaliban and I am a Merc I am a member of the SCa and I am also an authorized fighter who happens to reside in the kingdom of atlantia .. I pay my dues an my site fees an what do I give back to the kingdom .. I help thier fighters knights an squires included as well as...

Morgan

(Hence my comment above about "royal butt kissing".) If you are willing to throw away the other 50 weeks a year of hard work, exemplary fighting, proper behavior, etc, that the mythical merc we are discussing puts in, well, great. But to me that smacks more of the attitudes of those going "no way" ...

Morgan

Cool promotion...

And here for a second I thought he got it, but then he got all offended and stuff.

I should join the emo crowd, as I'm so misunderstood.

Morgan

Now to address a recent remark about the concept of "natural Lord" or Kingdom. The SCA has a fairly strong contingent in the Armed Forces of the United States and as a member of those forces I as many others are often sent to many different places to live, work and play. So to which "natural lord" ...

Morgan

If you fight honorably at all times. If you fight bravely. If you fight better than most, and cleanly. If you purport yourself with what we accept as "chivalric values" why would one NOT be considered, regardless of who they fight against/for? DUDE! It's RIGHT THERE in your own words. CHIVALRIC VAL...

Clovenshield is based in Kansas? Look at Clovenshield many are from the Pittsburg area. There are members in Boston, Texas, Alaska, Chicago, Kentucky and another someplace overseas. Most of these guys started in the Pittsburg area but moved as years went by. Why should they be forced to fight agains...

I haven't read the entire thread. I'm not directing this at anyone. But I'll say this. "We" got it. "HE" got it. And they were "getting" entirely different things.

Hooray for natural fibers. Someone here is bound to mention UnderArmorÃ¢â€žÂ¢ soon. That stuff's great, if you want to look like an electro-disco-sausage who just escaped from Circ de Soleil. Dude if wearing a shirt would make my abs and chest look like one of those guys in Circ de Soleil, I'd but ...

Please do not mass produce that thing pictured above. In the future, if you're going to be a dick, try to be a constructive dick. Nobody much cares if you're a dick, as long as reading your posts isn't a waste of time. For example, you can look back thru the thread where Michael originally posted t...

Morgan

Not to seem naive, but once you've taken someone's leg, how much more of an advantage do you need? I would think that any advantage gained by getting all close and personal with your opponent might be mitigated through angering him by (practically) grappling with him. Adamo in reply: http://static....

Morgan

I watched a knight tell a fellow with a single sword he was hitting way too hard. Now, admittedly it IS possible to generate excessive force witha one handed weapon. Big men, iajitsu masters, weightlifters, folks who have jobs like demolitions or carpentry, etc can all generate a good bit of force ...

Depends on your memory. If you can recall specific phrases in a post, or who was posting, it makes the search a lot better. YMMV
