Okay, I am gonna give it to you 100% straight. Alan's life began to unravel about four years ago, when he had two live-in assistants. One had claimed that he wanted to be a real student of the craft, and I guess this guy believed that for a few months. This trainee had a wife, and she was a flake. I...

Sincere Apologies

Guys, I am sorry if I have seemed pushy on the boards lately. Please accept my most sincere apology.
I have too much going on, and I have been spending too much time ranting here....

There shouldn't be any need to "work anything off". It's impossible to "work off" a belief system anyway.

There are basically two schools of thought about calling blows across the Known World. 1. If you have to think about it, go ahead and take it. 2. If you have to think about, it ain't no good. These two schools of thought can produce completely different results. Now, mix in the Third School and thin...

This is all very simple to understand. Both the Belted and Unbelted Champions battles are filled with amped-up people. In the last Unbelt battle that I was in, I bonked a guy over and over to no effect, and then the same dude used a baseball-bat style swing on my leg with a polearm. He was amped-up ...

I was there, and Rhys never called anyone a peasant. He never would have killed the siege engine crew if he didn't think they could resurrect as many times as they wished.

The reason that I feel this way is because I don't know what to say to our own Unbelts, who really do not want Pennsic to become the entire focus of their SCA lives. The regular populace is confused as well about what is going on out there. Pennsic seems to have a life of it's own. When I fight my E...
