Lookin' better...

I agree... I try NOT to get myself pumped.

Usually take two or three really deep breaths as I walk onto the field. Other than that I try to just go with the Flow..

Cedric

I dont want to cause any problems with your Kingdom or shire either. I just want the armor that I paid for or, failing that, the money that I paid him for it. -- So, Ive sent this information to him a variety of ways, but Im putting it here anyways: I won two auctions, one for an unfinished Barbute ...

I always thought that was the sacrifice required to work on CARS. I never took a wrench to a car without losing some skin. One of my main goals in life was to get to the point that I could afford to pay someone else to work on my vehicles for me. Never really had the problem with armor making, altho...

Cedric

Use rawhide instead of leather. Put it on wet, make sure your stitches are not on the striking surfaces. When it dries it shrinks so will be very hard. Your swords will last ten times longer, hit a bit harder (not excessively, unless you are using very thick rattan) and will sound much better then d...

Ok, filed a complaint on the Postal Service link provided. I would suggest that everyone else do this as well, the website says that they only prosecute if a pattern can be determined. I think we got us a pattern of mail fraud here. --- Micah. I know you are reading this thread. Get off your ass and...

Cedric

Me too.

Does the Outlands have an Email list? Wouldnt cost a dime. There is also the Rialto (rec.org.sca), anybody still use usenet?

Cedric

Take a number...

If the ground isnt conducive to fighting on Horseback the Rider always the option of getting off. The footman doesnt have this option. I would take the horse, personally (but then, I have a LOT of experience on the back of a horse - started riding at about 8 years old, in Arizona.. with lots of open...

Cedric

Still waiting, no replies to any attempts at communication. (No I havent called - the "You'll either get an answering machine or my japanese speaking girlfriend" part pretty much counted that out).

So, what steps do I have to take to report someone for mail fraud??

Cedric

Awesome helmet. Cant afford it, but love the look..

Cedric

Just because the grinder is Off does not mean the wheel is no longer turning. If the wheel is still turning, letting it drop against your knee = bad. Things that cut/grind metal do not even notice insubstantial things like human flesh. Welding metal things makes them hot. So does grinding them. Dril...

Cedric

Yeah, but your own?!?

Cedric

Wide brimmed felt hat. Buy a cheap one so if you lose it on the battlefield your not out a lot of money. We carried ours out to the battlefield at Estrella this year (kept them in the armor cart when we had our helmets on). Putting that hat on dropped the temperature about 10 degrees... felt like th...

I have handled a pair of their gauntlets (purchased by a friend from Chivalry Sports). They were too big for my hands, but didnt really look like they would work too well even if they had fit right (articulation was kind of wierd... didnt seem to move right)> This was the fancier pair with the dishe...

Personally I would rather pay the other half up front then get a refund.

Cedric

I would say, go to Pennsic and dont worry about trying to sell your stuff. Merchanting is a great way to spend a war sitting on Merchants Row. Personally, I dont have enough time in the day to do everything else I wanna do (fight, drum, party).. merchanting would suck the life out of me. Just a thou...

Cedric

Keep it in your possession if at all possible. Loaner armor tends to walk away if you dont keep it nailed down. I live in the Shire of Mountains Edge (yamhill county, Oregon). We dont have "loaner" armor, but we do have some not-so active fighters who let me hang onto their armor for them. We usuall...

Cedric

How well I know the feeling...

(having "bought" armor from the Damned Dane)

Cedric

Been a week since he posted... anybody hear anything or is this another stall tactic?

Cedric

you guys are killing me...

I really want to go, just dont know if I will be able to afford it

Cedric

Someone had a suit of lamellar on merchants row at Estrella that was done like this. It looked really cool and the guy said that the leather helped the rows not be so tight against each other. His plates were kinda a small D shape, not the birka plates, but looked like it would work ok. Im gonna try...

Cedric

Ok, so its another Interkingdom Anthropology thing. Guess my gentle An Tirian upbringing didnt prepare for the harsh realities of life. http://www.armourarchive.org/ubb/smile.gif Was still lots of fun... especially the last ten seconds or so. Now I'm really looking forward to next year! muahaha Cedric

Cedric

Oh, yeah, that was the one thing that totally ruined it for me...

NOT

Cedric

Ok, so teaming up is accepted.. how about killing someone with a spear who has no idea that you are there? For instance, waiting until someone is engaged with someone else and then spearing from outside their field of vision? (For the record, this is NOT what happened to me, I was taken out by a wel...

Cedric

I didnt like going into a fight thinking it was one-on-one and getting jumped by a knight and his men at arms. Got no problem with the scenario, but it would have been nice KNOW thats what it was so that I could have teamed up with some of MY friends. In all fairness, we were under a bit of a time c...

Cedric

Anybody ever hear of this? After the Thunder/Drafn battle it was suggested that we have what they called a "Donnybrook" (sp?). The way it was described was that everyone gets in a big circle and its "everyone against everyone, last one standing wins"... One of my friends looked at me and suggested t...

Cedric

Estrella was great, although I do wish that they had evened out the sides a bit more. I fought on the Atenveldt/Caid side and we badly outnumbered the other guys, particularly on Saturday. Sucks to be walking around that battle pit in armor for an hour in the heat just to be told there is no one ali...
