Hm, that was a test, and I think I know the answer now...

Let's try this: (these are right after the Battle of the Thirty from the Challenges we fought then...)

Some of the edging on those shields look a bit too thin... What's up with that? Perhaps you are referring to my shield? (Which has Trim-Lock for edging) Atlantia uses SCA standards for shields, which are: Shields: 1. Shields shall be edged with leather or other padding, or constructed in such a way...

Sir Corby has some pictures up:

Hey Raito, good to meet and fight against you this year!

Yeah, they held the tourney. I missed it. I have no idea about the results, but i'm sure Logan will post them soon....

BdeB

I loved the CA this year. I though the historical rates of fire, and volley fire added a lot. The bridge battle with CA was one of the most fun i've had envolving CA, period.

Espically since the aura of my new estate blocked all those arrows!

HA!

BdeB

Fighting would damage the knee but bicylcing wouldn't?!?!

BdeB

It is going to be great, for you and yours and for us.

Like I said before, we look forward to meeting ya'll.

Ick.

That was WAY too much Manflesh for work consumption...

Before each Field Battle a Champion was sent out from both sides to fight a passage. Just before the third battle, HM Kelson approached HM Cuan and asked for an Atlantian Champion to be sent forth. His Majesty called me from the ranks (where I had just finished a song at the behest of Sir Falcone) a...

BdeB

Sir Finn was vistiting in my camp when Sir Falcone came to get him. Man, that sucked. My prayers are with them.

argh!

Same weekend as Kingdom Crusades...can't make it. Otherwise, i'd love to come.

BdeB

"Sir Knight, you just killed 1,000 men at arms! What are you going to do now?!?"

"I'm going to Disneyland!!!"

BdeB

These legs are being sold at about 1/3 of the current going price, btw...this is a steal!

Poor Dukes needs Da' Cheddar!!!

I saw this topic on Legio and thought it was a great one....so I thought I would post my own list. Despite the best efforts of angry dwarfish fellows to Poo-Poo Pennsic, I still LOVE IT! Do you hear me, LOVE IT! Can't get enough. I love waking up in the morning to that cold morning air, with mist ha...

BdeB

And if you are up for a road trip the Caer Mear (Richmond) practice doesn't suck either...

BdeB

I found the dagger mostly useless as it kept falling out (my fault, i just had it tucked in my belt.) I've fought with my mace as a back up at Gulf Wars and loved it but once again, I didn't have a good solution to holding on to it. A lanyard off the gauntlet was a pain. Mostly I just carry my spear...

BdeB

Thanks for all the advice. I knocked the rust off this weekend with a little oil and a scotchbright pad. (Tho this did strip the finish a bit). It looks servicable enough now and the mantle i'm wearing with it covers most of the darn thing anyway. After the war i'll play around with fire. Sound cool...

This is excellent armour by Tom Justus. Sarnac, Rags is sketchy about email so I'll ask him to respond to you when I see him later today. Measure your thighs we can check the circumfrance of the armour.

BdeB

There is a literary reference as far back as the 12c, in a couple of Bertrand de Born's poems.

BdeB

They look great from the Knees up! Where is that one fellow's pant's?!?!

BdeB

Murdock,

We are in B02 right down the road. Stop by for a beer!

BdeB

So this weekend I made my Hand and a Half sword (well it still needs to have the thrusting tip put on it...) and padded the Pembridge after I knocked the rust off of it. I'm really looking forward to this...

BdeB

So what's the easist (least likely to burn or main myself) way to re blacken the helm?

And don't say spray paint...it is just a loan after all....

BdeB

Tell you what, some of those lamps from these guys: www.ancientlamps.com with some epoxy to hard-fix them to the chandelier as described above, that'd be pretty sweet. Jehan, squire of Sir Vitus I own about six of them and usually I use them to light my pavallion at War. They work much better than ...

BdeB

Yeah the rust is pretty light...and I figure it will bone the finish. Any way to re do it that doesn't require major armouring skills?

BdeB

I have a Pembridge that i'm borrowing that has a nice..patina on it. Is there way that I can remove the rust without removing the finish?

BdeB

Anton hit me right on the point of the jaw where the gland is. Placement was good enough that is hurt like the dickens and sounded good, but didn't say, chip tooth, like he did Sir Duncan, or pop my eardrum, like he did with HM Cuan. Of course, my generation of squire brothers (after Duncan) started...

BdeB

Yup, what he said. I find the chest punches to be sorta weak...but that's just me...xenophobic Atlantian that I am... I had a squire brother that for all the world looked like he was going to sock my knight one after his. He told me afterwards that it was the first time he had EVER let anyone punch ...

BdeB

I wish I had the webspace to post the four shot Buffet sequence that starts with "The Wind Up" and ends with "Bitch! Your Momma ain't got no Shoes!!!"

Ok, actually it ends with a hug, but the look on Anton and I's face is priceless....

BdeB

Excellent! What is the augmentation given (or was one specificed)?

BdeB

I'll fight in this, no matter what, But if it were up to me, I would like to see one of the following happen (if one of the organizers is out there): Gift Ransoms instead of money Or, if it must be money, then the money is not exchangable. I.E., you trade in your money for "Coin" and use that for ra...

BdeB

Screw the gauntlets, BRING ON THE SMURFETTES!!!

BdeB

Hurrah for White Mountain Armoury, HE, and Revival Clothing, all excellent! Billy and Charlies too, while we are at it! Shoot, Feathered Cock has some good stuff, as well as Gauklers...

I am full of the LUV and Vodka tonight babee!!!

I LOVE PENNSIC!
