Hope you find happiness, Vitus. I know a few people lately, who have specifically stopped doing sca business over the internet, as far as message boards and such. Takes a lot of the personnal contact away that we used to have. With that being said, I love this medium, cause it lets me keep in touch ...

Syrfinn

He has an account here. He has been pointed in this direction before. He has made posts here refuting claims. For me personally, I am not going by anything I have read here. I am going off things that I have seen first hand the products in my own little grubby hands, and been shown email responses b...

Syrfinn

He doesnt live in an expensive place. He lives in Indiana, where all of my family live. If anything, cost of living there is cheaper than here in PA, by what most my family pay for rent or mortgage. Have seen his work first hand, and every piece I have laid my hands on, was garbage. His customer ser...

What kingdoms still have light fighters still? I thought most were considered heavy, though they might never get hit, as in archers. But they are still considered heavy, and can be hit and ran over just like anyone else. If your back is that bad, I wouldnt chance it. Caught in wrong place, wrong tim...

Syrfinn

Hmm, lets see how to answer this. If I'm good, and thats debatable. I would say its cause how I was trained by my first knight Jarl Black Kane O'Shannon. He taught me how to learn from every fight, and catalog it in my head on what I had to do to finally win. So next time I fight someone I have neve...

Syrfinn

Nah, if someone wants to be that silly, just nod your head, like you would to a crazy person and go about your business.

Than again, one of old knights squire belts, was black with white trim.

Syrfinn

Myself and Alric who posts on here occasionally, believe his tag is also Alric. Alric is the one with our AEthelmearc Heavy Champion shield, and also our newest knight as of 2 weeks ago.

Syrfinn

Vlad, sweet looking kit.

Very well done

Syrfinn

Oops, sorry about that. They are made from aircraft aluminum.

Sold pending payment

Syrfinn

Sorry forgot to mention in first post. Greaves have word of Orkney on the cross. Can easily be taken off I think. It was supposed to of been taken off by the person I bought them from, but he forgot to do it, when he shipped them to me.

Syrfinn

Helm is sold pending payment.

Nah, my ridge helm fits me fine, I fought in it all last year. Just messing with a different personna this year for war season, will fight in the ridge helm off and on probably in tournaments.

Syrfinn

Have replied.

Syrfinn

Hi folks, got these thinking I was going to put together a greek kit for this upcoming war season, and well squires have convinced me to pick up the cross and join them on Crusade this war season. So have the following items that will sell if need be, but if I can trade for stuff I need, will do tha...

Syrfinn

Lol, sounds like it might be allowed. :p

Syrfinn

Any possible pics from Estrella with you in full kit, Sunflash. Curious to see how it all came together.

Syrfinn

Yeah, Ive learned you shouldnt play football either with spurs on either. A pennsic, man must be about 13 or 14 years ago, we got done with one of the battles, went back to bedofrds camp, and got a pickup football game going on. Count Kai, who was living in Atlantia at the time had the ball and was ...

Syrfinn

Im curious if those folks ever fought Orlando, before speaking? I cant think of one time, when I used to fight him, that I ever thought he wasnt calling something due to his armor. Hell to be honest, I think he had a lighter calibration than most, and I always kind of attributed it to his armor, cau...

Syrfinn

I pretty much do what Nissan does. If I can get out, without causing an advantage for anyone I do so. Then again, specially on bridges, I tend to be one of the first units in, and I hit and then angle for a side, to drive as many off bridge as i can. Which also allows me to just dump my dead ass off...

Syrfinn

This isnt the first time he has pulled that trick. I know at least folks in my kingdom, that got told their stuff was done, and to fire off money, only to have it not done, and they all of a sudden start having trouble getting him to talk to them. I steer anyone that asks me about him, to steer clea...

Syrfinn

I've put this up on Ebay.

Starting price is $275 and But It Now is $300.

Syrfinn

Hmm, not sure I would sell to Achbar.

I mean come on, he was an ex-squire brother of mine. :p

Cool, thanks Donal and Tascius

Syrfinn

Yeah, originally these were supposed to be bronze. But Theo had to change companys that did his anodizing, and the bronze they had was more a strawberry bronze or something like that. Which we decided wasnt what I would like. He might of found a new place that does a better bronze color though, so m...

Syrfinn

One more bump. If not, then might throw this up on Ebay. Also thinking of dropping price down to $275, which is a steal.

Syrfinn

What part of the empire are they planning on portraying? If northern territories, then they can easily wear pants, then they can wear whatever. One of my personnas is basically Romano-brit, so I have plastic cuisses I wear under my pants, and had baseball greaves for knees and shins, all under tha p...

Syrfinn

Cool, thanks Angus.

Hi folks, going another direction in my persona, so getting rid of these. 500 T6 aluminum anodized brass ,8 center lamellar plates and cord. ( not all plates are in pic) Have never been used. Bought them, and they been sitting in the box they came in since. Syr Theo from Eldessarian Metalworks made ...

Syrfinn

Actually had heard the same, as far as Grettir was concerned. So just getting all the stuff I need to start twisting arms of armorers. Plus, putting new kit together for this year. Yes, I know, as you like to refer to me, Malcolm. Sybil. :p But getting a corinthian off a trade, have the greaves comi...

Syrfinn

Lol, yeah, I think its still to soon to count that as a riddle. Maybe in September, when its all in the back of our psyche. But after watching the 24 hour marathon of it 2 months ago, still fresh in my head. :p

Syrfinn

I thought that was who made those. Thanks Nissan

Syrfinn

My problem was what Alaric described, as far as Darkhearts went. They were gorgeous gauntlets, I just never felt comfortable with them. Celtic Warriors gauntlets were the ones that got my thumb smashed, so ditched them quick. I think Nissan mentioned the set of gauntlets, that I have seen. I think A...

Syrfinn

Honestly, its why I have sold the last three pairs of finger gauntlets I have gotten. Had a set of Wisbys, got my thumbs hit pretty hard and took about 4 months for the bruise to leave from under my thumbnail. Had a set from DarkHeart. Got a few stingers, but nothing that didnt go away after a few s...

Syrfinn

Thats really nice, I almost went that route, and was going to get a bunch of scales from ringlord and make a squamata also.

Nice to see what it might of turned out. Now has me thinking again.

Syrfinn

If not for the fact that I bought a set from GuntherofOrkney, that granted still waiting on. I would of snapped these up also. They are gorgeous.

Does Thorson have a website? Would love to see it if he does. Could see me getting some things from him, if his normal work is like this.

Syrfinn

Lol, got a lot of pet peeves, do ya. Never said they called themselves that, and now I know I am thinking of the correct word. Your right, it is derived from Keltoi, and I believe Ceaser used it in his writings from Gaul, but used the word Celt, which I believe is the first time I have heard it bein...
