My sarcasm sense is tingling...

Where do you draw the line Theoderic?

Between somebody's fun, and something that is totally inappropriate?

Vlad...

We never included the term "SCA" on any of the forums, ever. You must be mis-remembering.

We've always had a large percentage of SCA folks as forum posters... but the forum has never been labeled as an "SCA" forum.

But, thats the point where you ask, if there is anybody who has seen the armourer... At the two year overdue date, you may issue your second complaint... this one should be the...

Saint-Sever,

How about making it so that leg and arm shots just didn't do crap?

Only a head or torso shot counted... once or however many times (for the counted blows folks).

Check my sig line. Its more general than fighting, but thats mostly what I end up talking about.

One other thing I'd like to see is the "watering down" of shields. You could require them to be at least 1" thick wood. No aluminum, plastic, etc. Eliminate all edge reenforcement; no hose, etc. Require them to be covered in canvas... Disallow fixing any minor tears of the canvas with duct tape. Wh...
