Capt. Sterling Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Now, now, Pete, we need pirates at RF2, there will be plenty of Nazi!!

Rats Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Great suit, but I'm a hat man! I luv that topper!!! As far as the Nazis at RF2, think we can start an all ages skirmish?? Just think what a pirate could have done with a pilfered tommygun!!! But I will hand it to the WWII, guys they really get into their reenactments. Rats! No rest for the wicked!

kass Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Oh Rats, you have to come to MTT (Marching Through Time) one of these years. On Sunday morning before the public is allowed onsite, we have "The Multiperiod Tactical". My favourite year, a sole Roman soldier took out a whole rank of Union soldiers with a Star Wars blaster, and a Landsknecht Kampfrau took five WWII GIs hostage with an M-16 she pilfered from Vietnam camp. I was shooting Nazis with the 1930s bellyguy hidden in the sleeve of my 15th century Houppeland while Bob was taking them out with his 38. Of course being that he was dressed as a monk, he gave his victims "last rights" using his flask of whiskey. "Bushmills Irish Whiskey" says he, "Not that Catholic crap!"

Rats Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Remember the show "Living Color" where they had the Jamacan family, who always complained about "lazy man!"people having "only one job!", All they would do was change their hats.

Fox Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 OK guys, I'm due to give a talk on methods of doing maritime living history on land, but we've been discussing the possibility of me doing a second talk as well. The trouble is that I'm a bit short on good ideas. So... does anyone have any thoughts? What would you like to hear a talk on?

Capt. Sterling Posted November 29, 2006 Author Share Posted November 29, 2006 How about Pyrates: Reel World VS. Real World.... or otherwise known as Where to get your bucketboots and earrings? I'm wondering if you'll draw in more of a crowd, not just the nautical types, with something like, how to research your time frame... I just can't say how many newbie reenactors there might be that would be interested in this or if a lot of folks would think themselves already knowledgeable in this area...

Cheeky Actress Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 Oh, that is a great idea Captain. Hollywood vs. Reality! This will debunk some of those ideas what pyrates were like and perhaps shine some light on various elements that Hollywood has never addressed! What say you, Foxe?

Fox Posted November 29, 2006 Share Posted November 29, 2006 I don't want to get too specific in terms of period or portrayal, but something to do with finding the right sources (ie, not using movies and other crap sources) might be a good idea. Keep 'em coming though. Foxe"With this Fore-Staff he fansies he does Wonders, when, God knows, it amounts to no more but only to solve that simple Question, Where are we?

CrazyCholeBlack Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 it would be kind of neat to do a talk along the lines of that 12 tips for authenticity or what ever it was called that I was reading reciently. Something that could help the newcomers but would remind the old timers that have gotten complacient. Otherwise I'm not very helpful, Sorry. I'll sit in on just about anything on the off chance of finding some random bit of interesting information.

CrazyCholeBlack Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Is that the same as the "why & how" thread sticked at the other place? That's the one I was thinking of. I love the neat ordered "how to evaluate your information" way that is presented. It's definately something that not enough newcomers think about. We tend to get sucked into the fun & glamor of the "event" and forget all the real work that goes into doing it well. Plus a lot of new people tend to take others "experienced" word for it without doing the reading and research themselves because it just seems to daunting to learn everything when someone else can just give you the "right" answer. Maybe something like this would encourage more people to do their own leg work and really think you know. Plus it sort of goes along with the idea of not using "crap" sources like Foxe mentioned. Well, that's what I'd like to sit through at least. If nothing else, I'll just nag you guys about it, deal?

Capt. Sterling Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Oi Cheeks, Mr. March is bringing the trestle table... NO folding chairs please... he's also putting a liquor list together just let me know... Can we smoke in the pub? I can't remember from last year, or was that off limits as well?? Oh weapons as well, can we put flintlocks on the table... I know we cannot carry them, only swords...

Cheeky Actress Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 I know that Veruca mentioned that she had given Lt. March some furniture drawings/patterns regarding period correct items. I am not sure if he'll have the time to craft any of them though. As for the chairs...I didn't mean real folding chairs...I was referring to camp chairs. Sorry for the mix up. At least four in the area. I have a bottle of Rum with Lt. March's name on it. We can make up our share of "Captain & Cutters" while we are there. As for smoking at the Pub; Yes...I think we can. I remember Mike along with an assorted group (RAF/Roman/2nd Panzer) getting chummy and smoking cigars in the corner booth and the wall of smoke hovering over them Okay...so...how many weapons will the group be bringing? I'm all for being prepared...but nothing says Pyrate like...weapon overkill Member of "The Forsaken" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still have the picture of that 1675 captain's sea chest please post it over at the Angel site for Andy as well thanks... as for how many weapons... ah rather keep it simple but elegant....

Â Come now...never under estimate a twisted mind, Captain...she's been known to be 'materialistic' at times.... Anyway....I'll post the chest for Lt. March so he can have a look-see. By the way...I'm doing a search right now for busk daggers...so far...nothing solid to go by. Oh and for those reading the thread who may be thinking about it...

And the last time Mike emailed, no guns of any kind unless you are using them for demos only! Welcome to Chicago... geeze even Salem was better weapon wise...

Cheeky Actress Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 So why are you looking into busk daggers?? No..no..no...that wasn't the question, Captain. I am trying to find out if they existed or not. I have no intension of bringing such an item as that. There are other elements of destruction, which are easier to carry and present as show and tell.

Rats Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Hey everyone! Work sucks! They don't pay me enough!
