And to think I were looking for SCA in my country, as your Ren, faires I particularly admire, but it seems SCA is riddled with the same sort of shit that battle re enactors are in this country. Hey, I just ever wanted to don a historical costume, bimble about with metalware and have the occaisional bash, perhaps sell some wares and out of a cow horn, get drunk.
I left what we have here because of the elitists, the egotists and other general knobs who took it all too seriously and forced what should have been escapist fun into a constant war of politics and authentitity. It was always interesting to note, academics involved in the 'ologies', stayed well clear of what a lot of academics call fantasists, weekend warriors and nouveau history fanatics.
And self impossed titles, the last person that tried that one on me,(who incidently changed his name to it by deed poll, rank and all ), got thrown in a boggy pool, which did not do much good for his medieval finery, peaty water stains silk nicely. He did want a 'duel' and was deadly serious about it, but edged weapons as in sharps, not a good idea. This an indication of how serious these idiots took themselves.
I just want to have fun, with others who think the same, let's do that and leave all the serious ego hunters to authenticate themselves into oblivion.
