The SCA? That takes me back. I’d met a young woman with the most beautiful green eyes, and her and I had spent a bit of shy geeky time together.
Anyway, at one point, she asked me if I’d like to join her and her friends, a group in the SCA, and hang out with a bunch of geeks. Now, I was a mondo geek, but I come out with a sarcastic “why would I want to hang out with a bunch of geeks”…
Needless to say, she didn’t catch the sarcasm and her and her beautiful enchanting green eyes were never a part of my life.[/quote]
Honestly Vroom, I have no idea where your experience came from but from my 5 year envolvement in the SCA you need to be DAMN fit to fight.
I fought in 3 pennsic wars, and it sound geeky I know, but I wanna see how many men will don 50+ lbs. of armor and rush into battle that lasts for hours, almost like a real battle of Europe. Swinging a heavy rattan weapons for five minutes will get most men wiped.
Now, the whole Role Play part is just garbage. I can agree with you there.
