Captain Roberts Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I am unsure how many of you are members of the SCA. I was curious as to anyone planning on attending Pennsic in August 2005. I was thinking it would be an opportunity to meet other pirates out there. Perhaps a gathering/party could be planned amongst those going.

Nigel Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 On one pyrate outing, I wore a pair of (typical rennie) wrap trousers. When a 'patron' woman asked about them, I replied: "Oh, I got them off a Buddhist Monk. I always wanted to be one of the 'Pirates of Zen Pants'".

Francois Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I am a pirate that attends Pennsic and Im a member of the SCA. There are many of us that do the SCA thing and do different periods of piracy. You will find many of us pirates are fencers as I am. I also am part of the cannon crew. One thing you must understand. The SCA cut off date is 1600. If your garb is over 1600 or Rev war period or the same as The Pirates of the Caribbean it will be wrong. You can do Elizabethan or still wear slops. I would suggest you do some research as what to wear. Such as NO tri corn hats or NO captains coats from a later period and so on.

Francois Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 No its not that I have a problem with it. You should know better then that. It would be kinda like being dressed as a Yankee walking into a World War one battle. As it is, a lot of the SCA people that do the early stuff still don't like use fencers. Although I was told fencing dates back as early as the 1400's in Italy. So we fall well with in there parameters. Black powder as you know dates back to the early Chinese and that also falls under 1600 including early flintlocks.

Francois Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Ahoy Dorian, Which hangers are you talking about. I dont recall. I will bring my cutlass next year. There is no reason we cant go off site and fight cutlass for a while. Looking forward to crossing blades at Pennsic. Hurricane We too fight full contact cutlass when we do the later stuff. With the SCA we fight rapire. Although I have seen some period cutlass blades from the mid 1500's the SCA will not pemit it (their rules not mine). Thats why I do stuff outside of the SCA. If you want to know more about the SCA go to the SCA.org. You will find out all the facts you need to know what they do and dont do.

Perkeo Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Being a marshall at one time I'm gonna ignore what I read about going off site and fighting with real swords.....other than that I will be at Pennsic. You can find me, most of the time, at my pub down in the bogs (which I might add is the only working roadside pub at Pennsic).

Nay, I's pullin' yer wooden leg... I've done a bit o' live steel work at reenactments, all blades are blunted, an' there are rules (I know, we use rules too!) ta live by with all that....

Francois Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yes Dorian now I recall. Get yar blade ready. Plus Id like to meet ya on the field for pick-ups. That is mostly what I would rather do is pick-ups. I'm not much of a mêlée fighter. I would rather fight 1 on 1 or 2 on 1. BTW. I found some brass and made a bunch of vent-picks like the one you had. I was toying with the idea of having a fleur de lei on the top side.

Francois Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Perkeo, Like Dorian said no worries, its a whole different game we play with live steel. Myself and a few others do Rev War re-enactments as Privateer or Pirates along with guns, cannons, black powder, and sometimes schooners at full sail. Its a blast. We have our set of safety parameters. Taking in consideration we fight without armour. Anyway I will take you up on the offer for a drink down at the Bog. If we cant find you just come visit us at the cannons on the hill. Looking forward to crossing blades at sometime in the future.

Hawkyns Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I rarely, if ever, get down near the bog at night, unless I'm on security patrol. Closest I get during the day is on the way to the swimming hole. And drinking at Pennsic? Not really, not anymore. A couple of ciders of an evening, perhaps but that's it. Being staff and in charge of the powder mag and guns doesn't give much opportunity to party. Camping on the battlefield keeps me near the merchants, staff areas, Royal camps and Coopertown, as well as convenient to the battery and castle. By the end of the day, it's just too damn far to walk anywhere else. 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.
