You don't want a ring. What you want is a bone pendant. I didn't see one on his site in a quick look, but I've seen some that he's done and they are amazing. http://www.carvedinbone.com/index.htm

3) Sir Bryce de Byram - yes it may be cheesy naming my own knightâ€¦ but it is my list :) he has always been a great inspiration to me and continues to help guide me and mold me into a better knight. You couldn't be more wrong. If the knight you squired to doesn't make your top 5 list of inspiratio...

I know one Duke with a Mardi Gras chain of alternating purple, gold, and green anodized links. It rawks!

Then there are the rainbow chains sported by the Gay Dukes of Atenveldt(tm)

So we have people who think they can interpret rules but can't find pictures of boobs on the internet by themselves?

OK to cross post, and if so, contact info?

They aren't OOP. The SCA does not have a beginning time and they are definitely pre-17th.

His Majesty Phelan is not KEM. It's really easy to sit back and give protest rationale for events that you will find excuses to skip anyway.

Hmm this sounds like someone that takes the rank of knight in the SCA too seriously.

or someone who was being humorous.

He's in Oklahoma. I saw it the other day and it is a nice looking rifle.

I disagree with Raulin on two accounts. First, AB helmets are ass ugly things, but they are pretty damned bulletproof. Second, and not from first hand, from what I've been hearing here lately, you don't always get what you pay for.

What I have wondered for a while is how much of his research materials were written for the wealthy "Dualist" since most of the soldiers of the time would have little access to books much less the education to read them. My brother asked me a similar question when talking about these sort...

Ingvarr

I think it's probably unlikely because as far as I know, horns and wings on Viking helmets originated in the Victorian age. There is some VA artwork that the idea may have been based off of, but I'm not familiar with any period accounts of winged horny Vikings. It is a pretty interesting question th...

I figured the problem was the head size more than the gage. This thing is pretty though.

There are hewing spears.

You had honorable opponents. I have seen the same situation with the last fighter ending ganged up by all of the opponents left on the other side and I did not like it. Glaukos Disagree. There is honor to be gained by fighting one opponent after another. There is glory to be gained by fighting them...

Ingvarr

Would depend on how it happened. If you were throwing a combo and shot one throws them off balance, shot two pops them, that's different than if you are watching them for 30 seconds of exaggerated silent movie falling, then paste them. Also, while it doesn't really affect legality, I would look at i...

The backs of the combs look like they could penetrate the crap out of a bargrill. Also looks like they could do some really nasty ripping of a person in a fall.

Question for the armourers. If I send you a check, and it gets lost in the mail, will you still send me the product? What if I send you cash, and it gets lost, will you still send me what I wanted? It is my responsibility to get you the money. I can choose to do it via check, or send cash, or over ...

Ingvarr

Are you hitting them after they yield? If so, yes it's wrong. If not, they bought their ticket, they get the ride.

There have been quite a few threads like that, mostly with titles playing on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

Shrug

Fair enough. Not trying to argue. Also never said it was a trick, just that it appeared to me that you said the thread was about one thing while apparently expecting it to be about something else. Maybe just a comprehension problem on my end.

Ingvarr

But duplicity? I just don't see how I could possibly be deceiving anyone. This thread is about looking at an aspect of SCA culture that I FIND DUPLICITOUS, and that is alot of SCA guys either think that they haven't done any of this stuff (delusional), or are comfortable with the fact that nobody k...

Ingvarr

I didn't start a thread, saying it was about myself and my actions, then start calling names and belittling others for not joining in. It just seems duplicitous to me, so I mentioned it. FWIW though, which really isn't anything, I mentioned two things not one.

Ingvarr

What this thread is telling me, though, is that many of the SCA chiv (there's a LOT) who post, read/lurk here either consider themselves blameless, or are else too wimpy to fess up to their more asinine moments. Whether I should or not is a whole different thing, but I'm going to pick up the asshol...

Remember, if you don't want to have anything to do with the rank structure, you don't have to be . Just ignore it/us. With all due respect, Sir Vitus, I disagree with this completely. If you don't want to be a part of the ranks structure, don't. I'm totally fine with that. I think if you are going ...

Ingvarr

From a purely SCA standpoint Zubeydah was totally in the wrong. However, looking at it from the street level I can see why he reacted this way. I would say the Baron and Baroness were in the wrong as well. Being a pretend Baron or Baroness in a silly social club, does not justify arbitrary and ridi...

Ingvarr

The roof on the kitchen is all wrong. The way you did it, water will run down and into the feast hall wall, causing problems over time. You would have been better off doing a constant slope up to the feast hall wall. um... I mean that's really cool.

My Great-Grand-Knight (my Knight's Knight's Knight).

Honest question...If he is a Master, he's not a Knight is he? Is this a dawn of creation thing?

Ingvarr

Maybe not a first but he bought his brother a shiny suit and a hooker. What do you want from the guy?

I thought that was why they take squires.

How is he misleading anybody. If he were trying to sell it sight unseen, perhaps. Regardless of what he or anyone else calls the thing, if he's selling the helmet that he linked the picture of, he is not being misleading.
