Raeadh`ani Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 If I had the money and chance to get there from north Texas, I'd be there in a heartbeat. Alas, my lord and I are rather broke at the moment hehe Most people want to be the sun to shine upon the brightest days. I would rather be the moon to brighten up the darkest hours.

You'll have to make it a point to come out on the Pirate Raid night then! E'ery pirate that's worth their salt comes out for that at Pennsic. If'n you and yer crew need any help on what to expect from war lemme know. This'll be my 19th and it be always good to know the waters in which you sail
Hawkyns Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 Pirate raid night? haven't heard of that. 'Course, since I work security shifts, I may have dealt with it and just not known it. Come by and say hello. I'm in the front corner of B08, the gunner's camp, and St. Barbara Central. If I'm not there, I could be at the battery position on the NW corner of the battlefield. Or, I'm on the marshal's radio channel as GUNNER ONE. Fair warning!! Flinlocks are verboten at Pennsic, unless they are converted to earlier styles. I will be enforcing that. Nobody is allowed to bring powder to Pennsic unless it is officially sanctioned as part of the gun crews. That means it gets cleared through me, and all powder will be stored in my central magazine for the duration. It will be issued as needed. Sorry to be hardarsed about this, but those are the rules and I am on staff. This comes under the safety regs, and with 12000 people, we HAVE to enforce them, and we will. Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.
Kalum Posted June 10, 2004 Author Posted June 10, 2004 B08?! Damn yer close to us. We're off the map near B03. Small world ain't it? If you've worked security you've more than likely had to deal with the pirate raid night....Actually now that I be thinkin' of it it doesn't really have a name persay, but it does infact happen! Folks from Raven Spittle, Black Corsairs, Iymec, ourselves and a few other of the pirate groups get together and raise a lil hell. So true on the powder! Don't even think about bringin' it to war with ya. I do have a question about a boarding sword with a flintlock that's attached. Note that the flintlock can't be fired. It's merely ornamental. Forsee any problems with this?
Hawkyns Posted July 8, 2004 Posted July 8, 2004 I do have a question about a boarding sword with a flintlock that's attached. Note that the flintlock can't be fired. It's merely ornamental. Forsee any problems with this? Non functional weapons are not my area. I'm only concerned with the ones that use powder and show up on the line, at the classes, or that get fired illegally agound the camp. Would I be happy to see it? Not really, not if it can't be documented. I believe in the pre-1600 rule and flintlocks aren't. Look at it this way- pirates have a very shaky rep in the Society, unfortunately well earned. Walking around in non period kit, carrying non-period weapons just reinforces the stereotype. Come out in pre-1600 kit with correct weapons and you do a lot more good for yourself and all the nautical personae.

Hawkyns Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 By this time next Friday, I'll be driving the truck to Pennsic. Doesn't everyone need to rent a 10foot box truck to go on vacation? Don't forget, B08, at the shrine of St. Barbara. Stop in and say hello!! Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons.

blackjohn Posted July 30, 2004 Posted July 30, 2004 Come out in pre-1600 kit with correct weapons and you do a lot more good for yourself and all the nautical personae. I'll admit I've always wanted to see this. Do you have to be a member of the SCA to attend? If not, it would be tempting to beg/borrow/steal an early snaphaunce and throw together a Tudor sailor's kit. Blackjohn My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.

Go to http://www.pennsicwar.org or http://www.pennsic.net fr more info (the second site is an unofficial one, but is helpful for people new to pennsic and the SCA)
blackjohn Posted August 2, 2004 Posted August 2, 2004 Thanks for the links. I wasn't sure about the whole member/non-member thing, and I seemed to recall YEARS ago the medieval group I was in would hire their archers out as mercenaries. To go or not to go, that is the question!?! Blackjohn My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
