The Almighty Doer of Stuff Shaper Member # 73	written Wednesday, June 25 2003 13:18 Profile #0 Dagorhir is an organization that does Dark Ages battle reenactments. Well, they don't just reenact. They make weapons and armor and have big battles, and maybe have a feast afterwards. It's very safe, as long as you follow the rules. There's very specific guidelines as to which weapons are and aren't allowed. For instance, the "blade" of a sword cannot be less than 2 inches wide, or something like that. Here's the website: Dagorhir Battle Games I guess I didn't explain it too well, but the website does a good job. It also has links to pages explaining step-by-step how to make weapons, armor, etc. I just thought some of the people here might find it interesting. It's certainly an improvement over what my cousins and I do- whacking each other with splintering fenceposts carved into the shape of a sword- so I thought it was great. I'm going to try to start my own Dagorhir chapter in Revere, since the closest one is in Northampton, on the other side of the state.

The Abridged Series Guardian Member # 2080	written Wednesday, June 25 2003 15:00 Profile #1 Well, I just might check that out, although I seriously doubt I'm gonna stop doing civil war re-enactments to do that. But making another sword to play with does sound interesting... And it was. Good site for people who are really interested in it, but I'm still sticking to the Civil War re-enacting.

Lemur Industries Warrior Member # 2000	written Thursday, June 26 2003 16:54 Profile Homepage #2 That is honestly one of the coolest ideas I have ever seen. Assuming people wouldn't be annoying when doing it and be all like "Nuh Uh, you so didn't hit me" With or without the 'Herald' Judges judging who gets hit and not, there'd still be whiny people...and having a judge walk into the middle of a battle and go "Your dead, not him" would be pretty unrealistic. Either then that I will seriously look into joining one of those. I have sword replicas that could easily be wrapped in enough cloth to render them dangerless.

No, a sword wrapped in cloth is not safe. There's links to webpages on that site that explain how to make basic Dagorhir garb, weapons and armor, though. They're not too expensive, though you'll usually have to order things in bulk if you want a good price. Get some friends who are interested, and split up the costs of the materials. That way, you all get all the junk you need to make the equipment for a good price. -------------------- My BoE graphics archive is finally getting started! Yay!

"You know, I wonder in what way I could do something even more pointless and anachronistic than inaccurately re-enacting minor battles from a heavily propagandised war which occured sixscore years before I was born. I also like using factory-produced, unrealistic swords with which I can pretend I'm a medieval knight and not actually a fat, obsessive geek who has failed to grow out of the 'I'm a knight in shining armour' phase... but now that I think of it, I like inaccurately re-enacting minor battles from a heavily propagandised war better." -------------------- In a word, gay. --Bob the Impaler Posts: 2367 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00

Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Friday, June 27 2003 18:51 Profile #8 No it's not, ADoS, please don't be a fool, you know that 1) The mods don't pay much attention to reported posts and 2) They wouldn't do anything about that post either, because while it was offensive, it was not against the CoC. Plus, if I haven't been banned yet, I don't think they're going to do anything to him for stating his opinion. Custer, please try to keep it down, stay polite, etc. Whether you were right or not is moot; that was a bit offensive and people generally don't like being called fat, obsessive, immature, delusional geeks. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

It most certainly is against the CoC. Not only that, a major transgression. I recommmend you read it more carefully. EDIT: Oh, and by the way, the swords are not factory produced. You have to make them yourself. [ Saturday, June 28, 2003 04:04: Message edited by: The Almighty Doer of Stuff ] -------------------- My BoE graphics archive is finally getting started! Yay!

Imban Shake Before Using Member # 75	written Saturday, June 28 2003 08:47 Profile #13 I am going to have to ask you to get off of Drakey's CoC and realize that in a discussion forum, sometimes people will be slightly offensive - the Code of Conduct is designed to keep the boards a nice place to visit, not to protect you from every person who would hurt your feelings in the slightest. This is a discussion board, not a self-help group. Overt flames will be dealt with, but not pointless, tiny things like that. And plus, Drakey would be upset if he knew you were trying to beat people with his CoC.

It's kind of ironic that the person decrying battle re-enactments calls himself General Custer, and also gets all hurt when ADoS yells back at him.

Any major transgression is to be reported on the Moderator Forum, so all moderators and administrators can deal with the member(s). Imban, you broke the CoC as well. That post by General Custer was extremely offensive to me, not just "slightly offensive". It is up to the person being offended to decide how offensive it is. As I said, that was a major transgression. If Drakefyre does nothing about it, I'm e-mailing Linda. Oh, and by the way. Thanks, Saunders, but I can't help being touchy when someone insults me that much.

Or else o'erleap. Law Bringer Member # 335	written Saturday, June 28 2003 18:09 Profile Homepage #21 Thank you, Wise Man, for that very helpful comment. I'm sure that really made matters more settled. That's a warning for a belittling comment that came at the worst possible time. Custer, you did show up and immediately start with insults. That's not a very good way to make friends here regardless of how many posts you have. ADoS, sometimes you should let minor insults go. It's not worth pursuing them. —Alorael, who believes this topic will only get worse. He'll just wait and watch to see how far it sinks before deciding whether a mercy killing is in order.
