Care and Feeding of Enthusiastic SCAdians 22 comments
The last six months of my Free Scholar-ness coincided with a very active time on the Atlantian Rapier Net. New fighters had questions, important questions, so I commented as thoroughly and helpfully as I could. Other fighters were having issues, major issues, so I replied helpfully and considerately and with caution to be as reserved […]
Rapier Survey of Seemingly Unrelated Questions (RSSUQ) Results Part 1: Demographics 3 comments
Over the past few months I’ve been running a survey of SCA rapier fighters. As the title suggests, it contains mostly random and seemingly un-related questions. This survey set out to test a series of ad hoc hypotheses encountered in the rapier community and to answer certain questions. As of this writing I’ve received 391 […]

Gulf Wash XXV: Spin Cycle – Wistric’s Wednesday 1 comment
Armored Ravine Battle Wednesday morning I woke up feeling like I’d spent about three hours in the sun in heavy armor the day before. Because I did. In other words, I wanted nothing more from life except to drink coffee and eat bacon and watch everybody else go off to fight. Then I armored up […]
Gulf Wash XXV: Spin Cycle – Wistric’s Tuesday 2 comments
This year saw Wistric’s return to Gulf Wars, and perhaps the gods were unhappy about that. Really, though, I think the gods just think there are too many MODs: Damiano (Glean Abhann) and David (Meridies) got postponed due to the weather (more on that later) and Caitilin nearly did. Having finally managed to Iron Man […]
