Medieval Mayhem (SCA and other medieval related chatter)

[Thane Vakarian]

indeed...  i don't like thieves either. Should they ever catch the people who did it, may they invoke medieval punishment. If you need a sharp axe, i got one handy *nods*

[U4ea]

It drives me crazy hearing about all this armor being stolen, lately. What do people think they're going to do with it? *mutters*

[Thane Vakarian]

too many people watching The Walking Dead and think they need protection?

[U4ea]

Is that it? *laughs and sighs* dorks.

[Ryrin]

I have a problem. It seems as if there is a lot of discord in my Barony that spills over into drama on FB. I think it's just a few "troublemakers." I'm very new.

 

We even had this: Kingdom Social Media Officer here politely requesting that the society ideals of chivalry, honor, and respect be remembered. Please remember this is an open forum, and there are people watching.

[Thane Vakarian]

I also had problem with my old group. It came down to founding a group of my own, with the rest of the people who got sick of the way everything went. 

 

The new group, founded in February, already has nearly 30 (paying) members. 

[Ryrin]

That's great!!! I'm gathering here that it's a few individuals ruining it for everybody.

[Thane Vakarian]

that's generally the case. In my old group, we had 4-5 people ruining it for the rest. Most of our members are old members from that group, but we also managed to attract other people already. If you have a broad spectrum to cover (850-1400), you can get more people to join, build groups and participate during festivals

[Ryrin]

My first over-nighter is next weekend!

[LadyWordsmith]

Oh, yay! Have fun Ryrin! 

[Thane Vakarian]

those are always fun!! enjoy!!

[_Kynwric_]

[Thane Vakarian]

Yucky. Facebook brings out the worst in people. Because we can't eject troublemakers, a few bad personalities will ruin the game and sour the group. I counter the drama by being the warmest and most enthusiastic person I can be.

[_Kynwric_]

Yes, Ryrin, that sucks. We counter act that by either forming a new group or playing as a part of a household (a unofficial group of like minded people). But don't just run into the nearest household, do some digging and ask around, first.

[Ryrin]

There are some people working on it.  My campout is this weekend and I was invited to join a group.

[Thane Vakarian]

have fun during campout  

[Ryrin]

I'm sorry to say I've caught a nasty stomach bug.  :(

[Thane Vakarian]

kill it with fire!!!!

 

umm.... no... wait....nevermind

[Ryrin]

Lol. I'm home trying to get well.

[Thane Vakarian]

everything alright Ryrin?

 

I'm still fighting paperwork for my own group... it's madness

[Ryrin]

First I had asthma and had to take prednisone and after that the flu.  Sigh.

[Thane Vakarian]

as of today, my re-enactment group is officially in business. All the paperwork has been accepted and we have been registered. *has a beer and toasts with the next poster* 

[U4ea]

Yay! Congrats, Thane!*toasts, too*

 

I broke my ankle at War a few weekends ago. It makes being a SCAdian difficult, but I'm doing it anyway.

 

I'm Consort for a fighter next weekend at our Kingdom Crown Tourney, so my broken able will be schlepping it down that procession! Haha, should be fun with my surgery on Monday, right?

[Thane Vakarian]

ouch, good luck with that. How'd you manage to break your ankle? Fought a dragon?
