The Armour Archive

Ingvarr

This thread became awesome when people started getting out the "ruler" about fake/play fighting. EVERYTHING about the SCA (and indeed most hobbies) is fake. All the titles, tourney wins, and any other dick measuring activities we use mean absolutely nothing in the real world. Its the folk...

Mongrel isn't a member of the US army. Whoever Mongrel is when he isn't here or in armor undoubtedly is and most likely knows the distinction you mention. Mongrel is Tuchux and also knows how to act in that role.

My interpretation at any rate, I could be dead wrong, never met the guy.

Ingvarr

Yeah but it was several months after I took it before I saw the video and noticed that ;)

It was still a great move.

Love the spin move at the end.

FWIW, When I mentioned camping, I meant walk all day build a fire if possible, or not. Eat some food we carried on us. Sleep wrapped in a cloak. Get up the next day, eat, walk some more. I wasn't suggesting changing the purpose, or the venue, just lengthening and possibly enhancing the experience.

We should do 8 miles if we do it next year, Malcolm. Of course, I was wearing a robe, not armour, so maybe I had it a bit easy. If you do this again next year, give some people some notice. That looks fun. so this got way more attention than i had ever thought. i am planning on doing it again. i wa...

I wish.

It's fur from my dear departed pet chow, Officer. I miss that dog. If it were only a touch bigger.

Ingvarr

Would kind of like one in wool and one in linen. Very interested dependent on finances.

I thought this year was CA only.

Ingvarr

You may not feel it my place to do so and are welcome to ignore it, but I issue you a challenge. For the next year I challenge yo to do two things. The first is that I challenge you to do what you did this weekend. Every fighter that you meet on the field should receive the very best fight that you ...

Ingvarr

Congratulations to you both. I hope that thos suns burn brightly and long.

Piers you haven't attempted to explain any of those distinctions. You just keep reiterating your same hateful rhetoric towards me. Dude, that's what he does. Look at other threads. He comes in and says how everyone is wrong but him but since they are obviously too stupid to understand he won't wast...

Ingvarr

Piers seems to know two things, offended and offensive. He is always some combination of the two.

Ingvarr: ask anybody their definition of "army" and nowhere in it will you find anything about people who train back at home. Those are either drill sergeants, or reserves, or what have you, but as far as the sharp end of the stick, which is what William is counting, no. Blackbow It's you...

They do castings for specific helmets at times. Your best bet would be to give them a call on the shop phone or shoot them an email.

I watched it with headphones on and had misunderstood what was said the first few times I watched it. I will agree that it wasn't as heinous as I first thought but I still find it distasteful. It is a different way to do it than I was taught. as you said though, if neither of the fighters had an iss...

Obviously the piece with His blood is joke and the whole thing was written in a humorous fashion. That being said, pieces of TOTC are a pretty medieval thing to sell and I think there might well be a market

Ingvarr

Count Caspar has my condolences. By the rules of combat in the game I play, he won the day. This is an abomination to me.

Ingvarr

What the fuck just happened? Did I see that right, the guy on the side called a shot that changed the outcome? Not just of the fight but of the tourney? Seriously? I thought people here said that Meridian active marshalling was a thing of the past.

Ingvarr

It's your criteria and I'm not questioning it but I think it's interesting that you would consider a person who puts on his armor 6 times in almost a year to be more active than a person who puts their armor on weekly and teaches at fighter practices but doesn't like tournament fighting, especially ...

Ingvarr

Just curious. Is this a joke or are you actually selling the reliquaries with a hunk o'cross and a nail?

Ingvarr

Just curious, I can understand you wanting him to do something active, as well as or instead of video games. It sounds like he has that with the nerf guns. If he's playing with friends, win. If you want some father and son time, why not grab a nerf gun and spend some time with him in his hobby inste...

Are there any combat archer (crossbow please) inspirational stories, photos, videos, etc...? There's nothing inspirational about CA.

I've got a couple of questions and a request. The request first, could you put up a pic with it on a hand/stick? I'm assuming the rivets are strap connections. Just eyeballing , it looks like maybe 4" between? How interested would you be in making a somewhat modified version of these. A little ...
