Hi Mord,

Wow! Did you have a bad wrist and have it taped up with duct tape?

Look at pictures 11, 12 and 15. I think that's you!

I was in my FLF kit with green boots, stainless steel bargrilled bascinet from Cet, Ice Falcon splinted stainless arms, stainless clamshells (Ice Falcon), splinted legs (Cet), pollaxe (me) and Clovenshield tabard in red with a "Christmas Tree" Clovenshield symbol in green. It's featured above a couple of times. See picture #24 for a good shot.

Give me a good description and I'll hunt through the photos tonight and make sure you are featured here, in a good way.

For that matter, ANYBODY who was there and from the Archive, describe yourself and I'll work on finding your picture and putting it up here.

-Aaron

I've GOT to find my sports goggles. Fighting blind stinks and using my "go fasters" might be safe, but dorky.

Yep, we chatted, but I didn't know you were Mord! I've got the same wrists. Sword-and-board will snap my wrists, but pollaxe as well as sword-and-buckler won't. Go figure.

Hi PiRho,

I feel like I was in the dark a bit. What was your heraldry / gear like?

A room full of Archivers...and I didn't know. :shock:

Thanks for the pics, you looked like you had a good time. Nice to be able to move WITH the other fighters is'nt it. :wink: The armor seemed to be working well for you.

It was fun. It's not as fun as the cap-a-pie suit IMO, but still fun.

The FLF suit is a moped -- it's a little easier to get around with, but not something you would really like your friends to see you on. It’s OK if the cap-a-pie suit won’t do (for example flying somewhere or the cap-a-pie suit is “in the shopâ€

Yep, I remember you. You knocked my onto my backside at least once. When you charge, you CHARGE! Well done!

I was there, and had a GREAT time. Thanks to our friends in the East for hosting! I especially enjoyed getting to fight against a madu for the first time (disallowed in our Kingdom).

We'll have to do this again soon!

p.s. Aaron, I'm pretty sure your son got a picture of me yesterday. I'm the short chick in the green tunic :)

It's a very good picture, but I wanted to ask your permission before I put it up. I fear there may be some cat-calls from some of the Archivers. He did good camera work with a good subject IMO, purely from an artistic standpoint mind you. :oops:

Check your rule book. You may be surprised what's in there and what is not.

Darkness I am training to fight in crown this spring just to make things right once again in our fair Kingdom by the sea, I would hate for a poor humble unbelt to be struck repeatedly in the face just to be told " Oh no no William Thomas don't you take those shots, they is just not allowed here anymore" (my best Darkness voice)

Sir Mord,

The only picture I got of you is apparently a shot of your hindquarters. :oops: I will advise Nick that most people like to have pictures of their front-side instead of backside. :lol:

Hate to say this, but this is not the first time...

As it stands now you don't even have to win crown through I'd like to see a WT reign. But I hear rumblings of discontent... I sense a disturbance in the dark side of the force... Maybe you'll have to win and right things after all.
