I finally got to fight again! It had been since estrella so I really needed to hit people, ya know? Anyway, I fought about half the fights and had a blast. (Dont tell my surgeon, he hasnt officially cleared me yet) but it was a hoot, all was well. Then, the wenches wanted to go shopping. No worries....

DELETEMYACCOUNT

Yeah Kelly it does 'hunt'. Here's why: "Sorry animal, but that dog dont hunt...If we allowed grappling in large meeles there would be a good % of people who get serious joint injuries...." Ok,think for a second. The cannon goes off and all of a sudden people all drop their weapons and star...

DELETEMYACCOUNT

Wow. We grapple all the time and it leads to no significant number of injuries. Dunno what you're afraid of. How much training do you give "dogs" (I think that is the right term) before letting them free spar in melee? I think that may have something to do with it, and the degree of trust...

I'm not gonna make any comments on that mate. No sense stirring that pot. To be honest, I dont want the tournament to suffer for my immaturity so I'll just exhort you all to come out and fight, donate, spectate, donate, bid early and often, donate, cheer the fighters, and donate. All for the boobies!

DELETEMYACCOUNT

This is gonna be typical rattan fighting like you see at pennsic all the time, no worries. Bring gauntlets because you'll need them.

DELETEMYACCOUNT

It has been brought to my attention that the mention of "grappling" apparently has caused some distress. So. . . in the interest of ensuring the tourney takes place I will stipulate for all who read that there will be NO GRAPPLING . The mere mention of the G-WORD will cauuse your immediate...

Thanks Gilebert.I know what a pain in the ass this all must be for you. I appreciate you working with me to get this done.

I'd be interested to know what a set of just plain plastic thighs and knees for hidden armor would run. I got guys that dig thigh armor and are looking for hidden stuff. The leather covering is beautiful, especially the blue. But as one already pointed out, if its covered it wouldnt be seen anyway.

DELETEMYACCOUNT

It looks funny without arms though.

DELETEMYACCOUNT

Gunthar I agree with you that after a period of time you know what's up. I also am of the opinion that if someone wants me to hit them harder all they gotta do is tell me. And if I hit them harder and harder and they still dont take the shot, well, I figure they can reflect on the error of their way...

DELETEMYACCOUNT

In this case it was deserved. Seriously.

Ya know, there's a fantasy then there's a reality. The fantasy is some perfect victorian ideal of chivalry that some of you will slit your wrists before you give up. Then theres the reality of a man standing in front of you with a weapon in his hands. Now, I dunno about you, but crying about that w...

There is only one blow. The thing that changes is the target.

DELETEMYACCOUNT

I never thought of donating weapons as prizes but I know we need all sorts of weapons for the random ness of the tournament. So sure!

DELETEMYACCOUNT

[/quote] Id rather not see them on the field. I guess I am somewhat disapointed you look down and me and think me a pussy.[/quote] Do you cry about them and whine? See, there's a difference between having an opposing opinion and whining. That's what I find to be pussy about the whole thing. Think wh...

The arms look wrong as hell. Why didnt you attach the uppers and lowers to the elbows?

It broke my heart last year when the rain washed out all the hard work everyone had done. I seriously hope that the weather co operates this year. Everyone that showed up last year, please come back. It's a good cause and a good fight.

DELETEMYACCOUNT

It is spring, and the thoughts of young men turn to boobies! Last year at pennsic the charity tournament got rained out. Big surprise. The friggin animals were lining up in twos. But this year is gonna be better. I hope so anyway. Anyhow, all the cool stuff people sent and donated and worked very ha...

This man is a knight, far more so than a lot of men I've met that get called one regularly. And I dont mean the SCA elizabethan bullshit version either. This man is a Knight.
Just sayin.

Armored baby jesus can sob his narrow lil ass off. I'd dig a pair of plastic hidden fanless knees.

Badass armor.

I am biased towards quality Dan. Sure, we're friends, and I pimp your stuff, but i wouldnt, friends or no if it were crap. Seriously. You know what I do with my hands and how important they are to me. I wouldnt risk them to just any gauntlets. Yours are the best.

DELETEMYACCOUNT

I bet my fingers on house of the wolf gauntlets and I win every time.
Just sayin.

DELETEMYACCOUNT

I figure if you bring it to a fight you're willing to lose it. Hit the arm. That'll teach them not to hang it out there and bring their game up a notch. Or, it wont and you'll just be hitting their arm. Either way, you win. Hit the arm.

DELETEMYACCOUNT

I cant imagine lamellar catching a sword if it's put together right. Mine overlaps up and it works just fine.

DELETEMYACCOUNT

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your viewpoint), however, the SCA has never been about historical accuracy, as far as the heavy fighting goes. It does not encourage historical accuracy; it encourages winning. Why? Because it got started as a competition and has been treated as such ever...
