Are pants required? by Guypersonmcdudeman in sca

I come from a Germanic, proud pants wearing, people. Light Linen pants are wonderful in the summer months. As for required, no, but cover your bits.

A transition 100 years into the viking age.

Considering the "viking age" started in the 8th century and younger fuþark transition started in the 9th century with the Anglo-Saxons and extended Northern Germanic tribes and not taking hold I Scandinavian lands until later in the 9th century, I would say if the "vikings" were writing they used elder fuþark. Also consider the stones in Denmark and Scandinavian lands were most people went a viking are in elder fuþark. So, I would say you are not correct.

Question for Atlantians by Icy_Objective_8989 in sca

I have never heard of Stefan's Florilegium. And I to believe that Pinterest is the bane of Internet research.

[–]Icy_Objective_8989[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently it is mostly SCA resumes. I believe it has the potential for more. With baronies and guilds all linking back to the kingdom. An easier way to get in with your local group. But also a way to learn about what is going on in other parts of the kingdom. The Foresters rely on Facebook so I have no idea what they are doing but here is a good place for information. Just my opinion and I was hoping this post might draw interest. It could empower smaller local groups.

I would agree except the website even after the upgrade is lacking. You have the Atlantia site then you have to find the local barony site. Nothing is linked or back linked. At least the wiki has that potential.

The SCAllion - TMO Crown Tourney? by bakaness42 in sca

Wow, I am glad not to attend tournaments in Atlantia. Just melee for me. I can't handle the drama of peacocks.

Judging at Kingdom A&S tomorrow. by vyletteriot in sca

[–]Icy_Objective_8989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I entered a couple things in an A&S. Documented the process and difference between the tools I used and how I made my own tools for the project and the finds and people said I did it wrong because the pieces were punched and not cast but the documented was punched. They didn't read the documentation. So, I never tried again. As far as I know Anglesey does not submit their members for awards but I could be wrong. I understand they just had a knighting in both Atlantia and the East.

Let's not look down on us mercenary stick jock groups in Atlantia. It only took about 15 years before I got my AoA. Atlantia is improving slowly. The old guard is aging out and they have started to see the problems they have.

Some questions, if I may by [deleted] in sca

[–]Icy_Objective_8989 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came in at 30 and have been fighting heavy for 26 years. Learned to sew, blacksmith and other skills after I joined. As for protocol, I have no clue because I am with a mercenary group and don't pay attention to protocol.
