Nissan Maxima

If it was strong enough I will tell you it was good. If I don't, it wasn't good.

Nissan Maxima

Greadwyne, Of course you and yours were there till the bitter end, and glad I was because I had put a bounty on your head, collected by my new boy, John the Roman. Maybe those guys who left just had sand in their cracks. You should give them some vagisil. By the way, your squires are both an ornamen...

I learned that Aethelmarkians leave the field when their side is losing. By the end of the day the enemy had to give them guys so it would still be a fight.

First fight 83 to 76
Last fight 54 to 32 till it got evened up

sad shit

Oh and once again I failed to learn not to out run my support.

Nissan Maxima

There are people watching? Huh. I never notice them.

Nissan Maxima

I love pennsic. I have only missed a couple since Pennsic 2. Victory is meaningless to me, but then I am just a filthy merc. I does my job and I have the pleasure of being an honest craftsman and the provider of a valuable service. But is sure is important to some. They are willing to PAY me and min...

I'll be there. I love this event. I drive down from Chicago for it.

Nissan Maxima

I'll be there.
I got some banners and the wife says she'll go. I plan on bringing minions and hounds and all that happy horseshit.

You can announce me as:
The dread Lord Nissan Maxima of House Clovenshield, scourge of the rightous, destroyer of Aethelmark.

Nissan Maxima

Clovenshield 1990. Thats me in the middle, pre nip.

My boy Grettr

Nissan Maxima

I love the over the top kawari hats

Nissan Maxima

Thanks Logan.
I forgot to give credit where its due:
Mykaru made the Kabuto
Gruber made the Mempo, Tekka, and Tsubo Sode.
I made the Dou, Haidata, and Tsuba Suneata.

My boy Roak got the Jinboari as gift for me from some guy in Juarez.

Nissan Maxima

Its getting there. I need some armour on my feet or bearskin booties.

Nissan Maxima

So its 1977 and there is an event in Gwyntarian where they have a quest thought this godawful swamp scrub with a few patchy raised trails. Clovenshield is first in and every sign post we came to we moved. We got through in about an hour. the next closest time was about three hours. Some guys never m...

Hmmm... How about the bottom of my foot? I have occasionally trapped a polearm or spear shaft( along with the hands holding it) between the ground and my foot, followed by much hilarity.

What do you think? legal, not legal?

Nissan Maxima

I think this is 14. Also from the GNM

Nissan Maxima

How much for 25 in red and 25 in blue. magnets and stickers. Approx 3 inches

Most fun you can have with clothes on.

On top of our entry fees, Clovenshield will pony up 100 bucks to support breasts.

We are vile honourless mercenaries, will the rest of you allow us to shame you with our generosity?

Ah Graedwyn, You welsh are so silly. Don't cut off his hands. You hang spies after torture.

Nissan Maxima

It is also fun for three or four guys to tag 1 guy in the face at the same time. I think of it as an exclamation point.

Nissan Maxima

Have I told you that I have decided that I should be Society Earl Marshall?

Nissan Maxima

The hell with combat archery. I wanna have rolling flaming logs like in sparticus.

I am Sparticus!

Nissan Maxima

Will it never die? This topic is like a zombie. Someone please shoot it in the brain (open faced helm) with a magic arrow...

Nissan Maxima

I got 50 bucks to put in for whoever comes out on top.

Vitus, You know in your heart that despair is an affront to god.

Nissan Maxima

I mostly get hit at practice.

Nissan Maxima

I shave the siloflex on the handle almost down to the rattan so the handle is oval. Alternate technique is to add something like padding to the top and bottom of the handle till its oval and grip tape it.

Nissan Maxima

Since I tore my right rotater cuff thrusts have been a bear. And because

I'm fat picking my sword up off the floor in armour is something of a challenge. I am working on a neat kick flip to get it into my hand with some style but progress is slow.

Nissan Maxima

In melees I sometime like to pick up a polearmsman by the weapon and hit his teammates with him.

Nissan Maxima

This is my favorite haft grabbing picture. Thanks Ursus.

In answer to the question. You can grab my haft anytime, darling.

I was going to send this as a private correspondence to Syr Rhys but as he is in a public dispute I will support him publicly. Although we disagree on most if not all things regarding the SCA I applaud the fervour and reason of your stance regarding CA. As I have explained I feel I have no choice bu...

From the society CA rules

" Any missile that hits a legal target area that is noticed by the fighter hit by it, that hits with proper orientation and was not impeded nor skipped off any other person or object shall be considered good."

Nissan Maxima

I am with you but thats not what the rules say. You gatta take the little tap or you are a cheater.

Nissan Maxima

Logan noted that there has not been much commentary from combat archers, so here is some. In fights where there is combat archery I am one. I have to be. I am a mercenary captain and our reknown is based on battlefield effectivness. I cannot allow my troops to go out in a field where they will be su...

Nissan Maxima

Rest assured Sir Vitus, If I get the chance to put an arrow in your eye I will do it with the utmost respect and affection. As to yielding, I practice putting down the bow and swinging the mace all year for the opportunity to deliver a nice surprise to some happy fellow. When I am out of arrows I ha...
