No, I meant Baron Trevor from al-Barran, but your Trevor would make a good third person to inflict on you. :D

Damn, well. All I know is if I ever fight Blackstone, I will have to bring a step ladder, for fear of cup shotting him constantly. Its hard enough fighting Omar and Nick given how low I stand. And Thorbrand, well... I'll tell ya if I ever hit the man. :lol:

Oh and Johno, heres another for ya,

Omar is 6'2" and I believe down to 265 now.

According to the Military Processing Center, last month my stats were:

5'11"
194#
30yo


I'm 6'1" with my boots on, and my weight will change some after I go through boot camp this winter (the gym scale already has me down to 191#). I hold no rank or title, I fight heavy S/S when I actually have time to fight (its been a few months, should be getting back to it soon).

Joust. SCA style and Balsa. I haven't done rattan since I was in my 20's, and I don't do SCA style raper/C&T. (Too bad shootin' don't count! 8))

Cheers!
