I'm looking for combat archers too...

OH LOOK! THERE'S a couple over there! GET 'EM!!!!!!!!!!!

Morgan

they'd be fine in Ansteorra, corners and all.

Rehab won't fix that, it sounds like you've got all kinds of labrum damage in there. It's going to take surgery THEN rehab. I'm of course not a doctor, and this is just speculation. But I think you need an orthopod and an MRI.

I have a general question. Why SHOULDN'T someone who "grew up" with the status quo, excelled with the status quo, and enjoys the status quo think the status quo is good? I'm not saying they can't. Everyone has a right ot their own opinion. But I always wonder why someone who likes things "the way th...

I had a deck that had all black border cards, lotus, moxes, time walk, time twister, 4 mana drains, bunch of duel lands, 5 juzam djinns, blah blah blah.... it was a BLAST to play with. Half because people forgot they were playing as you were dropping thousands of dollars worth of cards on the table,...

Need I say it? Before you think about a Hammered Wombat comission, please do a search on AA for Hammered Wombat. Make sure you are sitting down and have some time to spend reading all the complaint posts from the folks who claim he screwed them outta their money. Then decide whether it's worth the ...

There's this place on Michigan Avenue, down by a YMCA, you go back into the ally.....

Depends so much on the quality of the blonde and the quality of the beer.

Every time I see those people who are always talking about fighting, I put on my polite face that says, "He's being really nice to you but doesn't believe you very much." LOL Some of them get it. Most of them don't. All I ever say is, "Well, we're always here and would love to have you in armour re...

Morgan

I prefer this one for some reason.

Almost. There is a law preventing flights leaving from Dallas Love Field going to states other than a specific 7 or 8 states, of which Arizona is not one. Southwest ONLY flys out of Love in Dallas, therefore, it is impossible to fly directly to Phoenix from Dallas on Southwest airlines. This law is ...

Morgan

ah...that screws me. I can't fly there direct from Dallas, of course, because of that idiotic law.

Morgan

Val, who can you get a flight that low on?

The only thing I'll be fighting on Sunday is the lines at the airport if I go, but that's a great price.

Morgan

Who was the AA person who was doing the Order of the Stick figures? Was it Hew? What software did he use? Frankly, I'd love to see a fighitng manual done using these!

Morgan

No just balls, but TWO INCH STEEL BALLS.

Morgan

always nice to have an auction for the ladies....

Morgan

Fair enough. I think you make at least one strange assumption, but your point about the peerages, royalty and role playing are interesting. Thanks.

Morgan

What is REALLY needed is the 150-300 helm. They're hard to find. The crappy 100 helm is there, and the spendy wonderful helm is there. Really tough to find the 200 helm that looks a lot better than the 100 helm. Just my opinion.

Morgan

because criminals don't have lock picks, sledge hammers and cars.

Morgan

No offense taken. Mind sharing those reasons so we can maybe make our organization better? Even if we don't change, I prefer to be educated about it.

Anyone mentioned in the Ansteorra list from that thread is still unbelted.

Morgan

Although the question wasn't stated as such, the question was SCA specific. The answer may or may not be SCA specific. I'd think there are organizatios out there that call their non-knights "unbelted" as well, but I don't know for absolute certain.

Morgan

Marlboro: You know, that gun costs about two dollars every time you fire it. That's two bucks a bullet.

Harley Davidson: Well how many'd I hit?

Marlboro: You spent twelve dollars and didn't hit a goddamn thing. I nailed one and it cost about four and a quarter.

Tim, FWIW in the past 2 years.. 2 dukes that I know have had their teenage kids fight on the battlefield. Duke Patrick Michael.. (if I'm not mistaken) has a son and a daughter that are both fighting. I know the stories that were told to me, he seemed to take great pride in this fact. Tessa, Princes...

I'd assume he means this:

Yeah, I'm thinking I'd like reading/driving glasses 2 years after eye surgery. But we knew at the time of the surgery that my right eye wasn't 20/20. But I'm a TON better off than my -12 and -12.5 that I was before!

Morgan

Counted Blows to 1000 works well with a barrier, one hand on the barrier, single sword, striles to the barrier arm are immediate disqualification, hand comes off disqualification, armour failure is disqualification.

Not that I'd know first hand, but I'm just saying.

Morgan

Well, in a number of threads where the autocratic rule by fiat decisions that have come out of the SEM's office have been discussed, what was largely opined by the majority was simply that the SEM should PROPOSE rule changes and put them out for COMMENTARY like the BOD does. Pretty simple. Not a gre...

This is a fantastic article on team sports and "the code." Is there a code in the SCA? What are some of the basic tenets of "the code"?

I didn't think this belonged on Philosophy of Chivalry, tho I'm sure some of it could spill over. That's life.

Morgan

Ansteorrans CAN move when legged in melee. Just not via knee walking. We're supposed to use our hands and kind of crawl along. It's also fairly silly, IMHO. If realism is the goal, then why not eliminate the know "dropping to the knees" thing entirely? It's terribly unrealistic and just plain silly.

Must be regional. Where I am, the only thing called a madu is a fixed buckler spear thingie. A spear in a gauntleted hand is called a spear or a "broken lance". An axe is called...well...an axe. Dane axes, bardiches...

I don't think that's exactly what Carlyle and I were saying. At all.

Morgan

I understand realism. I think that sometimes our rules just don't need to reflect it. Every time a thread like this comes up, I post the same thing, and I think it's a good idea. Our Society needs to have 2 sets of rules that are consistent across the society. We need to have "War" rules and we need...

Define "use in combat" as well. Steel? Boffer? Rattan? Mexican knife fighting?

Re: tim

What' is "the code" for SCA fighting?
