SCA.

Some may have heard about us, some may not have.  We are the freaky people who climb into real armor and combat each other.  This week I am going on Vacation, to MIssissippi where i will "play" with about 3000 of my closest friends.  

Does anyone else here play SCA?  if so is anyone going to GW?

Anyway, i leave tomorrow, so you guys take it easy and i'll be back in a week.

No, the worst that's ever happened to me is four broken ribs.  My trainer on the other hand got some internal injuries last year, but serious injuries are few and far between, and usually reserved for those of us who like to be "in the thick of it".  All of my injuries except for 1 have happened during melee.  Most times in a one on one, it's just painful to get hit.

mmmm, first i tought this was about some re-enacment group, those guys fight exactly like it used to happen. but seeing these weapons, it looks like your just beating eachother up in random fashion, mwoah, that could be fun too, i geuss.

We fight the way it used to happen.  People come from all over the world for this outting.  We are a history based group and keep it period.  For obvious reasons we don't use live steel weapons.  and with that said.....I am off to Vacation.   Have a good time people.

I've thought about checking into something like this before. Growing up my father was (still is) into the N-SSA and once I hit fifteen I got involved for about 11 years. Course I wasn't as big on Civil War history as I am with Middle Age history :)


Then again ... we did use live ammo :D

Wait, where in the world is this held? Missisipi? Since when has America had anything to do with medieval history? It could at least be held in Shropshire or something.

Seems to me that its just like The Sealed Knot, but without gunpowder.;7

Well when you think about a good portion of US citizen's are desended from Europe, then it makes since. It's not the location of where you choose to enjoy your heritage, just that you do for some ppl.

I have little going on no respect for the guys who think they are soldiers from the Civil War ("Naw, see, the South was fer freedom, it was the Nawth wannet te enslave the South!"), why would I have any more for this garbage.

At least you aren't running around claiming to be an elf-mage. I'll credit you with that.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil
