SCA Stuff

Looks like things are getting sorted out for a serious heavy fighting practice this weekend. Although it's in Kent.

This means taking Friday off to travel, which I've now arranged, and Cernac is working on sorting out transport. Looks like car (whether hired or driven by someone else SCAdian), ferry, and motorway is the best method - armour and swords being awkward to transport by plane, aside from anything else. There will be no less than five knights at this event, apparently, so with any luck at all, I'll authorise.

I'm glad we're having more knights now, that means more people can get authorised and (hopefully) more people can become authorising marshalls. There is a definite need for more fighters in Ireland and hopefully this will mark the start of a good rise.

I've authorized 50 or so fighters over the years. Unless you run into a crazy strict marshal, it should be easy to do (I authorized my first time I ever fought).

The goal is to make sure that you're good enough to not be a threat to yourself and your opponents. You don't have to be good at all, just be safe. Essentially, knowing the rule sof the list (including legal target areas), being able to hit with sufficiant force and control, and being able to block basic shots and not getting rattled when you get hit should just about do it.

Excellent. Thank you!

You just have to be safe and have a clue. Did Irel see you fight when he was there in November? He couldn't authorise since he's from another kingdom, but he was honest with people about their fighting.

We won't be there, alas, since it's all fighting and we have a friend from the US visiting. We'll be driving her around this area, most likely. Have fun!

And bug Cernac to bug Etienne! Etienne (hopefully) is pulling together a site in Eplaheimr for Viceroy II in May... He has till Thursday to tell me.
