The Armour Archive

Like I said before, none of any of that matters.

I personally don't think this is true anymore Aaron. Maybe once upon a time, but I doubt the contemporary list of folks that post here, would be considered "fringe". I doubt Count Johnathan considers himself "fringe". But who knows. You may be right. Besides... this isn't about w...

Broadway

Thats neat.

Given the free money, that's a killer way to do a broad spectrum review of different armouries... place an order for the same helm from # different armouries, and see how each final product compairs, etc...

How bout a dog skull and a stake in the ground?

I could be losing my mind, but I swear I see a spanish jaguar prowling around behind Nissan there... crazy. In the middle where I mostly fight the tradition is to crowd your legged opponent and jam your cup into his grill. Classy. Case in point: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/Sarigar/Val%20Day...

Broadway

No need to argue about tradition or whatnot, just a matter of perspective...

Set it on a shelf, and get a bargrill

I don't know about you... but I'm really hard core.

Broadway

Ah, my bad. I had assumed you meant the archers themselves.

Broadway

Thousands? Surely you jest. For clarity, by "flying twigs", do you mean archery, milord? We don't have to go there you know. I have a negative opinion about it and it doesn't serve to make this conversation any better. Just wondering, milord, what could cause you to use insulting language ...

Broadway

You wearing a green cape Dietrich? Cisco I experienced the opposite problem, I have the neck of a giraffe and a gorget that would comfortably fit me could seemingly not be crafted by mortal hands (I tried a LOT of 'em). So I ended up just getting a helm with the neck protection built-in, and haven't...

Lufu, in an auction, you actually have to bid Higher than the current bid... You can't just match it.

You mean YOU your grace. The rest of US are ok with it.

You mean YOU your Excellency. Some of the rest of US, don't agree.

Somomailler, you might have read the whole thread, but you didn't read it very well.

Hey, no argument from me... I'm trying to have a healthy exchange of ideas and such...

Broadway

Blah blah blah blah bladditty blah blah. Ask me how much fuck I give about anything you have to say... And what was the point of that? Merely because I have respect for the efforts of our predecessors in this game you insult me. It's pretty stupid and narrow minded to believe that any person here wo...

Broadway

I would think it would only work as a singles format, Sir Justus. When I get back to fighting, I'll try this method fer sure... if anybody is willing to fight me in this format. I will post any results that come from any fights here. It seems like the guys that defend knee fighting think they won't ...

Broadway

Personally, unless I accidentally drop cause that is what I've been trained to do, I'll never take a knee again. My right knee is blown... from soccer... from sca knee fighting... hell, who the fuck knows... could be from masterbation... but regardless, all I know is I'm 35, and taking meds for folk...

Broadway

I say let it ride and double up.

Broadway

Anytime something like this pops up where somebody pats themselves on the back for training quality fighters reminds me of the time that this absolute fucking schmo (who couldn't hit a barn with a stick of rattan) pulled me asside at a fighter practice... and told me all about how he taught my knigh...

Mayhap I can play also...

We really are! That is eighteen...

For the record, I'm not frustrated or upset, I just think he's being a douchbag.

Nut up or shut up. Saying you don't check the thread in one sentence and then saying you don't work when your down, and this stuff gets you down, in the next. Oh woe is me... I'm gonna watch tv instead of fulfilling my obligations... cause I'm all sad. Its fairly obvious that I've either never been...

Broadway

March of '93 was an epic snow. Much fun was had.

Broadway

Just keep in mind that if it's for SCA (not sure from your post) that the requirement is for "iron or steel rivets no more than 2 1/2 inches apart or the equivalent". So you need to be careful with brass rivets, since they either need to be "equivalent" to the steel (not sure ho...

Broadway

Earliest one I've got of me... Its around '98 maybe? Gundo helped me put it together. Add in Gundo's shield, and his sword... and an Icefalcon Helm, and that was pretty much my first functional suit.

Broadway

It would be funny if marshals in the "Danger Zone" had to be armoured, but the marshals in the field itself didn't. We should make just one entrance to the whole setup, and it should be where all the fighters enter the "Danger Zone" and then the list field, mark it off in spray p...

Cause... If I arrive friday midday, I'll love waiting around to set up my dayshade until Sat, noonish, when all the CA'er's who are gonna play get around to toe'ing up to the line... For example, it could say that all archers participating in the melee must toe up to a line and fire their weapons, a...

Broadway

I understand that all they need is a barrier of some sort I just don't realistically seeing the Estrella battle field ringed like a driving range with netting. I also don't imagine the field being so constricted to allow for the buffer as with a crossbow I am pretty sure I could stand on one side o...

Broadway

Because that would be productive.

Broadway

Those legs look really nice. You could probably sell them by themselves for $750, and throw the rest of that crap in the metal recycler.

Broadway

Thanks for the interesting reading yesterday btw...

How about a thread that gets a million posts today? I'm stuck in the office and bored.

Can anybody think of anything that we haven't rehashed a million times that people will get all worked up about and post all day about?

Anybody?

Bueller?

The Devil's Broker is awesome.

But it sure does a good job of making Hawkwood look like a dumbass.
