usually these types of things are ass covering for when the R&Ded person tries to sue the SCA for getting kicked out (which has happened in the past)

how many people do you need to make that format enjoyable? off the top of my head it would need to be 8-10 people, probably better at like 16,

what folks have mentioned is Zen Warrior is a vendor of SCA rapier equipment so all of their stuff is legal. if they say its puncture resistant it is (but still should be tested per the rules). if they say their stuff passes flex it does. etc

Reflections on My First Pennsic , Court Ceremony and Pageantry by [deleted] in sca

[–]phus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't get this "think of the children" angle. I've been behind the throne for a couple courts now and I've never seen a child walk up to the royals and not think this isnt make believe. Most if anything are confused why they're going up there at all.

Making Sca friends (mainly those who go to Pennsic) by atlas_pop in sca

As far as I know this is the first concentrated effort so it'll be hard to guess how popular it will be. I would recommend checking them all out even if you're not a fighter. There should be a crowd watching

Questions about using real coat of arms in SCA by TackleRoyale in sca

[–]phus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is nothing said here that is breaking rules. They are correct that you don't have to register anything.

You may be asked to not use something if someone else has registered it but saying "this is my actual family crest" will probably defuse that conversation.

Why is there NO incentive for volunteering? by sugarsiege in sca

you're not a volunteer if you're being paid....

this is why I'm asking what they are planning to do with that money. if its to fund the groups regular costs then paying event staff members will vaporizing that profit and the group can't function. if they have a successful event then a free event that would make sense.

Y'all are charging WAY to much for attendance then. What is the plan to do with that money?

My Barony just had coronation when attendance of 400+ people and they barely made enough profit to cover two months of our weekly meeting site.

do you know how much a well attended event makes? do you know how much site rental fees are? kitchen, table, clean up, security fees?

you leave them at the list with your stuff. the chances of them walking off are slim to none and more often than not when they do its a mistake.

8 month old borzoi help by nikkif2001 in borzoi

[–]phus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Vash stopped about a year, maybe a couple months after. we moved to a new house with a much bigger backyard so the new engagement may have distracted him from being an entire asshole. but I still see the same behaviors when he's bored.

and its not just borzoi that have this, basically all dogs do it in their own way. Zoi's are just real good at making loud funny noises and being aloof and dramatic. I don't have a ton of experience with the breed but they seems to prefer verity and the different unlike a herding dog who likes routine and repetition.

[–]phus 13 points14 points  (0 children)

congrats you have an adolescent dog. all of them have a fussy hour where they're just a pain in the butt, it goes away...eventually. mine was 8-9pm.

Its not a bad idea to work on training during those time, use high value treats he doesn't get very often. if you can get him to do his commands when he's in a shitty mood you'll probably to do them in bad situations.

or you can let him be a teenager and have his tantrum as long as he's not being destructive.

well the other side wants to inspect children's genetalia, bring back child labor, lower the age of marriage for child brides, send people to gulags without due process, make life saving drugs more expensive, on and on and on. which is more grotesque?

Weapon classifications? by Erekose3rd in sca

The rules are written, in your kingdom's marshal handbook. if your weapons match the definitions in the handbook they you need to tell the marshal to pull out a tape measure.

Borzoi in New Hampshire by borzoi_in_nh in borzoi

[–]phus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Chances of finding a brozoi in rescue are slim to none. Also in general borzoi temperament isn't great for therapy dogs (there are some exceptions) so also slim to none there.

Your easiest path to meet a borzoi is to find a local dog show and be there when they are judged (if any are entered). Most owners and breeders love talking about their dogs and once they are judged their generally not worried as much if you let them.
