I propose two rules for the combatofthethirty.org website 1. There shall be no bandwidth limitation. 2. There shall be 2000MB of storage space for videos and photos. That means that we should go with Wulf's UH-3. Seconded, moved to vote. My groat wins the vote. And done. John Jehan de Pelham, ecuyer...

A website would be awesome. Someone asked what the future of the SCA was. A good response is that the SCA has as many futures as there are participants. The nineties saw the Tournament Company movement, where belwethers of the SCA gathered groups of people up under the force of their will and their ...

You know what, guys, I'm tired. Maybe it's the eighty-four-plus hour weeks with no days off. Maybe it's the being in Iraq for another seven months, I don't know. I'm finding it hard to be jazzed about setting this thing up. I'll probably change my mind, but for now, I'm just tired. I find myself wan...

Meybe HRM Konrad did it for the lulz. If so, awesome. Let the Dukes gather what hosts they may and fight for honor in a serried field with no sides. Let mayhem ensue! Let combats be fought amongst the tents both day and night without surcease as households and groups form armed and guarded camps who...

"Jehan..... please take this thought a little farther. Are you talking about the greater framework of the SCA or....?" I do not mean the greater frame work of the SCA. I am talking in terms larger than that, I am talking about the life of arms, which includes everything from MMA to Joustin...

No worries. I won't be able to enjoy it until next year!

I think that it's very useful to have a sort of framework within which deeds of arms are set. When deeds of arms and the life of arms resides pretty much in themselves and itself, things can get barren. People can get out of hand. Knowing that one will be held accountable for their actions while per...

Alan, I very much had your offer of aid in this regard when I decided that, redeployment, child, and pending move be damned, let's do a three-peat. I would say south of San Fransisco would be appropriate. I would like to try public lands if at all possible, due to--as Brent said--insurance issues. I...

$220 for Lot #12.

And you can bang out the strikes, Trevor. Probably make it look more authentic, anyway.

If I win, I'll ask Patrick to ship them to you Trevor so your friend can use them for your demo, and then you can ship them to me in Colorado afterwards.

Okay, over the next ten days, need to know what dates don't work and why for Spring of 2009. Also, what events are happening, so I can try and coordinate. The water will be seen to by a large tank/truck this time. Pilgrims will be cared for. John Jehan de Pelham, ecuyer and servant of Sir Vitus www....

Jeff, I need to call you sometime. I want to, now, actually, but I need to do it when I am not dog-tired so I can be at my best. Your suggestions are absolutely spot on. I should have been planning 2009 before 2008 went off, actually. Jenn, you have read my mind, that's what I need to talk to Jeff a...

You know what's sick, is that these legs aren't even for me, they're for a man at arms, archer, or handgonner kit that I am collecting to outfit someone else (as yet undetermined, maybe even you, Aaron) at CiT next year.

Crossbows are tough. Bob Reed (Chef de Chambre) and I are both looking for a good period arblast from the late 14th-15th century for living history and it's tough. Finding a decent looking SCA combat crossbow is easier. This may just have to serve as a bump until someone who knows who to get you in ...

Has my Lord Sir Vitus made suit to any Captain, that he may seek honor in this most excellent and august assemblage of gentlemen at arms?

Don't tease me, man! : ) Everyone's always like "Oooh, I wanna come!" until they just don't show.

SoCal. Spring 2009, since it gets nice there sooner and I have a month of leave when I get back from Iraq. I want the following people there for sure, just off the top of my head: Compaignye du Chalis Russ Mitchell Alan d'Antioche Nick Friend (Klaus the Red) Circa 1470 Steve Lund Jeff Hedgecock Luke...

I should have taken a picture. Russ was eating off of a peice of wood. Totally awesome. He was like, "Uh, I don't have a plate--I'll make one." Edward: "Follow thru by holding bow up until you hear the smak of the arrow in the target." That's total crap, and it will get you flogg...

Jehan de Pelham

I have, hopefully, a place in this discussion. My thoughts are that kit should match form first, materials a close second-- but still second --and methods of manufacture a distant third if you can even get it at all. Not as a matter of preference, as in an ideal world you could have all three things...

I don't know what the future of the SCA is, but it will have to deal with an increasing interest in something other than what the SCA has become. The SCA has become so self-referential that it has become a full subculture. It has a large number of shibboleths that must be learned by those who wish t...

I will. It's a matter of time. I am expanding out from the 14th century. I envision about thirty different product offerings within the next couple of years. Currently off the top of my head I have: English: William I Pennies John/HenryII Pennies (John basically copied his father's design) Edward I ...

We should not miss the target for want of aiming high enough. The history of effort that you and Jeff have put forth shows no lack of aiming high. But even these very great strivings are "but" a beginning, and is part of a broad effort in many directions which may eventually enable even gr...
