You could wear leg harness.

I am just being a snot because I really wanna hear some "chiv behaving badly" stories. There should be some epic shit, if they have courage to tell it. I have done tonnes of evil shit. It is what I do. But I have never intentionally shrugged a shot. Most of what I do is to stick my thumb i...

I guess most guys have to trade their ability to feel shame for that white belt.
Perhaps it is surgically removed at the vigil. I have always wondered what went on at those things.

Nissan Maxima

You will not be sorry.

Nissan Maxima

I'll take it.

I did several fights with a man from out West at Pennsic with the intent to cause him pain/not to injure, after he said and did things to discouraged a female fighter who is a friend of mine. He treated her like shit and belittled her on the field. My sin was Wrath. The fallowing day wearing a comp...

Seven inches

These are 16 g. stainless.

As if these need a testimonial, I have been using mine to practice full contact, full speed rebated steel combat. I have been hit all over the hands by sir Gunther Kegslayer weilding a steel bastard sword. The finish on my gauntlets is not marred, let alone my digits.

I don't know if I like to, but it sure seems to happen a lot.

e-mail sent. Feel free to call the mobile number listed. Suzerain is making me a sword.

Nissan Maxima

I resolve to make some big trouble. Big. Trouble.

Nissan Maxima

I let myself become visably angry on the battlefield. It was at my little insurrection, and my troops were attacking the castle. It seemed like it was taking forever to break the enemy and I was intensly trying to break through at the gate and inspire my men by throwing myself into the breach, dying...

Nissan Maxima

I have to agree, and disagree Vitus. You were speaking earlier about folks who have both title, and have long lineages or military groups and how they can walk all over folks and there is dead silence about it due to the fact of what they can bring to the table in large wars and events. Sometimes, ...

I hurt a man on purpose on the field for being a friend to my face and an enemy behind my back. I knew it was wrong when I did it.

I have thrown a hundred thousand blows in combat and that is the one I think about. That is the one I want back.

Nissan Maxima

Allright. I am off to the pell for a C note.

Done. Thanks for the inspiration.

Lojacking(TM) the prince Points wise the war was won but there were still field battles to go so Clovenshield decides as a gesture of love and respect to kill the prince of the east, Tribune Darius. But once the battle starts he gets hard to find. So the next round I assign my banner bearer Yngvar t...

Nissan Maxima

Yup. The armour held up better than the sword. Got some dents from pommel strikes. Hard sword shots with rebated steel leave shallow little creases at worst. If you are gonna thrust though, you may wanna be careful of your armpits, junk, inner ebows and eyes. Iowa, huh? I maycome out and visit to pl...

I'll take the spalders. PM me an address to send a check to.

Nissan Maxima

Our assumed armour standard has nothing to do with this. It was false when they wrote it. A single blow from a single handed sword that would incapacitate a man in mail would be considered a criminal act in our game today.

Nissan Maxima

So for a face thrust, I have to see it. If it hits me low on the cheek sometimes I miss those, and if someone asks, I apologise and they win. Atlantians and Westys do not pose this problem, I can hear the impact.. I just want to say... worst moment of my life was apologizing to Nissan after I paste...

First some Bias. My helmet weighs 22 pounds and is padded by having a street hockey goalie mask installed inside. It is .5 inches thick across the brow. Therefore my helmet does NOT move when hit hardly ever. So for a face thrust, I have to see it. If it hits me low on the cheek sometimes I miss tho...

I took an SCA helmet ($500 )to my metal fabricator and asked him what it would cost to do the work. $5,000 real world non idiot dollars. I have certainly bought a lot of stuff in the SCA. I try to be a good customer. But I know I am underpaying for work. You guys are truly fucking retarded. I mean t...

Christmas tourney must have been a doozy.

[quote="Vitus von Atzinger"] I may as well just stop fighting at anything except practices and wars. No wait- I'm already doing that! quote] Welcome to my world. Don't forget pickup fights at events. Skip the tourney and just fight pickups. The ego poison cant seem to survive the atmospher...

Good plan. That said, Here is another funny story about someone getting hurt. So when I was a kid, we were in a woods battle teamed up with the chux and a group called the brotherhood of the five winds. We were fighting our way up this road. (now in the bog) and slowly overcoming stiff resistance. T...

Is it allowed to call for particular stories? Who has an authoritative account of: 1) The Great Biker Countermarch, with a date and place? 2) The late Duke Anghois' faceplant in the mudpuddle while in a pigface bascinet? That one was only funny afterwards when they'd gotten His Grace's breathing pr...

are they curved?

At last years gulf wars I was fighting with a spear and stabbed a guy so hard he shat himself.

I know its wrong that I think thats funny.

Nissan Maxima

Resolution.
Actually train my guys, not just beat them up.

Nissan Maxima

I dropped by the Dayton practice tonight. This is an awesome, well run practice. It is especially inviting for new guys. There were about 30 guys, lots of them new, getting quality instruction from some experienced guys including Sir Cadogen and Sir William of fairhaven and Captain Boris. I am infor...

I might make it to that Dayton one tomorrow night,

Nissan Maxima

Gavin, It is hard to measure how hard we are hitting. If I get a sharp sword ( I'll measure the edge) and have someone hit me on my body in a meaty part in an area covered with chain and a gambeson with what we both would consider "hard" (admitedly subjective) would you consider the result...

Nissan Maxima

I like to hit people hard. Its just more fun. I like it when snot bubbles come out of my opponent's nose. I prefer to be hit that way too. If its crisp and clean I'll take it even if its not the force I throw. I won't let people take shots from me that aren't what I intended to hit them with. I don...
