ahhh. i wouldnt call them ultralight since they are still heavier than those silly unpadded things (which probably should be called "headless"). regards logan what is an "ultralight polearm"? I can't find the discussion on the Archive (the search engine ignores words as short as ...

what is an "ultralight polearm"?

i hope so. her majesty is on to something very cool with this and i hope to see all of them posted online. better that its not a requirement (i think required a&s entries for crown are silly). its a good list overall, very competative on several levels. hopefully it will be clean, quick, and cle...

are those you are wearing in the picture the aluminum ones you are talking about? regards logan not to derail the thread, but the topic reminded me... I've heard mixed reviews on the plastic lamellar. Reports of heavy shots breaking the plates and resulting injury afterwords. I've also heard folks l...

dukelogan

ive broken many of the plastic plates on folks. but ive also got some guys that wear them and they only get occasional breaks. if you want brass we carry plates that are 1/5 th weight calontir brass (ours is only 22 ga but is hardened) or for something even lighter our 6061 T6 aluminum plates are th...

i will add that the last several rules changes, including hrothgars shield elbow fiat, never made it to the discussion phase in atlantia. now, is that hrothgars fault, or more currently, omarads? no, i dont think so. however, when changes come from "on high" and those effected have no inpu...

dukelogan

anyone know who made the gauntlets? i have what i think are the same pair. i hate gauntlets because ive had a hell of a time finding a pair that look good and i feel safe in (having had both thumbs broken wearin eggs). the ones i have, that look just like these, need a wee bit of work and i would li...

might also extend this to multiple cup hilt orders. shoot me an email if youre considering a multiple hilt order.

agreed. i think the spirit of the sca, as you describe it, covers all participants at an event. i was merely commenting on the rules in place for our particular activity, sca sport combat. we should all have that spirit regardless of the activity/ies in which we engage. regards logan one set of rule...

dukelogan

one set of rules for one sport. no variations. make it more about common sense and personal risk acceptance. give guidlines. actually train marshals before handing the warrants.

i think it would be much easier and much more simple.

for the rest of the month of october we are offering free shipping (conus) on all spear orders of five or more spears. this will continue until the end of october or until we are out of stock. shoot me an email at logan@ebonwoulfe.com to place an order or with any questions.

perhaps to allow the two handed weapon to still be used should the guy wielding it lose an arm. in other words, preventing an arm shot to be a kill? only thing i can think of.

logan

dukelogan

well which is it omarad? in one breath you suggest that a marshal has the right to interpret what a "glove" is and decide if he likes what youre wearing or not. then with another breath you suggest a marshal doesnt have that same luxury when it comes to helm thickness (not that ive ever se...

and lets not forget word of mouth. get some folks in, they tell their friends, more folks show up, we retain some of them. rinse, repeat. and congrats little brother!! youre a lucky dude! took me almost 40 years to find someone lucky enough to be my wife. trust me, you have a new boss. do as youre t...

i never once said that or anything close to it.

right. the vast minority of folks need something over their shield elbow if their shields are strapped to their arms. centergrip shields clearly do not protect the elbow. almost all strapped shields do. before the rules were changed and an elbow cop was mandated the elbow had to be covered on all th...

dukelogan

because i do not like rules created but masked as needed for "safety". none of them. my shield is strapped to fit my arm. now its fit i compromised because hrothgar felt that it was unsafe even though there was one reported elbow injury years ago and without regard to the fact that many of...

dukelogan

good point. but being athletic doesnt mean you will be good at sca sport combat. who knows, having some of those cats being frustrated by the "physically inferior" guy might teach them that good technique is as important as natural gifts. that crowd will be driven to get better so it might...

dukelogan

the word youre looking for is youre (you're). sorry if you missed the joke about putting me on the flyer to attract the lonely women. my commentary was simply based on the notion that a good recruitment idea for the sca was to put attractive women on a flyer to attract gamers. the stereotype is way ...

dukelogan

youre right. the whole "brad pitt is the sexiest man alive" polls are wrong. clearly every woman prefers bill gates since he "can provide". glad you think women are so shallow that they prefer a meal ticket over someone they are genuinely attracted to. logan by the way, i dont re...

is this directed at me?

sounds like baiting guys with vaginas. do we really want guys looking for a lay? why is nobody suggesting putting hot guys, like me!, on fliers to get women interested in the sca in the hopes they can get easy men to bang them? are there not enough desperate men/women in the sca already? why not tar...

if you guys are interested in providing an editable pdf of the flyer i would be happy to send it around to folks i know (i think the picture is awesome even if it is max ) and will personally print them here in wpb and put them up at the local comic shops (i know where one is but will find the rest)...

i had just retired from boxing when i saw my first sca practice. i was burned out by the emotional negativity that boxing brought me but i yearned for some competetive and physically violent (not malicious violence). the sca was perfect. had it been one of the wma or that dagorhir stuff i would have...

dukelogan

please dont misunderstand, i fully support what they are doing and i think these are some of the top fliers ive seen over the years. i simply disagree that "gamers" are our best recruits anymore. our sport is a physical one and todays 16 year olds are very lazy compared to 25 years ago. i ...

dukelogan

how? if the rule simply says "glove". and sure, i know that any marshal can ban any armour from the field and if the crown isnt around youre screwed. i understand the reasoning for needing some all powerful role but in the hands of a poorly trained, or untrained marshal its could be a prob...

dukelogan

10 minutes!? what, they had to run back to camp to get it? look, there is always going to be a delay when a shieldman loses an arm unless they are using full gauntlets on both arms. they can drop the shield, close their former sword hand, and put the sword in his former shield hand. i dont think ive...

dukelogan

unless there is a definition in the rules for "glove" then any glove will do. a latex examination glove is a glove. logan I guess one part of this that is confusing me would be in regards to center grip shields. With this new rule, do you, or do you not, need a demi-gauntlet or some simila...

dukelogan

oh i get it. but back then we didnt see 10 year olds walking through wal-mart at 11:45 pm with their little fat faces looking down in to those 4" lcd screen while their single 29 year old mothers shopped for frozen burritos. i was invited to try that whole sit around a table with some cat rolli...

dukelogan

shit, im sorry. what i meant was prodding them to even give it a try is a huge leap. i wasnt trying to suggest that anyone coming in need be willing to put in the effort to be good. so long as they have something to contribute which makes the society better thats fine. regards logan Physically inept...

dukelogan

gamers are typically lazy and physically enept. i would target skaters before gamers. the last people i would target are those looking for drinking and easy broads. we have too many of those now.

might help if you mention some specifics on what dark age stuff you are looking for. ive got most of those, or have seen them, but i am interested nonetheless.

i would drop the "party like its 1399" line. i would rather set the idea that its an opportunity to learn and do something rare and less that its like going to a sci-fi convention.

dukelogan

we call the arm good (you cannot switch hands, the one hit is the one gone). walk over to the side, slip an elbow on, drop your shield, slip your hand inside another sword hilt, and go fight. the idea that its somehow discourteous to take one minute out to do so is silly. unless you wear a full gaun...

dukelogan

and you see how this a problem, especially when the sem uses this same mentality. that is exactly what hrothgar did. he, like you, assumed he knew all the rules for the society because of what he did know of his area. the standard in the mid certainly has to do with how many centergrip shields are u...
