>. There I was.
>There I Was ..
>So, there I was, fighting in the castle battle, when I found myself
>standing next to this guy ... this knight ... I think it was the King of
>the West. Then he said, "Let's take this castle!" and the two of us
>charged the gate all by ourselves. We blasted right through five guys ...
>a whole unit ... probably the entire Drafn shield wall, and we made it all
>the way to the rear of the enemy army. But there was this duke commanding
>the reserve ... he was eight feet tall .. he weighed 900 pounds ... I'm
>sure he was fighting with a telephone pole covered in duct tape. He hit me
>so hard he knocked me down ... over the hay bales .. into the merchant's
>area a half-mile away! ...
>
>To be continued.

>who hold in your hearts the strongest love, the most passionate respect,
>the utmost caring for your brothers and sister in arms!
>
>The Ferocious and Scary Brotherhood of the Black Sword, Darach's
>honorable and impressive war band has laid a Challenge at your feet. That
>Challenge is simple- to surpass their efforts in keeping their brothers
>and sister in arms hydrated on the field of Battle at GWW!
>
>It's really a pitiful sight to see a noble warrior falling prey- not to
>their opponents' sword, but to the avoidable foe Dehydration
>Really pitiful. In fact, it's down right sad.
>
>So what have they done? They have donated to GWW Waterbearing three large
>containers of powdered, not red Gatorade and 1 waterbearer for every five
>of their mighty warriors who take the field!

>Come out to Caid this October and fight 'till you drop at the Great
>Western War! There will be three days of interesting tournaments, a wheel
>of fortune tournament, a white scarf tournament, and the (in)famous Uber
>Elf Tournament for those who have the stamina. Saturday will be a day of

>
>Unarmored Combat Demo:
>Lords and Ladies of the Known World!
>
>All are invited to attend a demonstration of Unarmored Combat using period
>techniques for Sword and Buckler and Long sword.
>
>The demonstration will display period fighting techniques derived from
>period combat manuals (also known as fechtbuchs) such as the I.33
>manuscript, Talhoffer, Leichtenauer, Fiore, et al.
>The 1.33 manuscript is sometimes called "The Tower Manuscript" because it
>languished in the Tower of London for centuries. This manual has been the
>subject of much recent study, and is thought to be the "earliest surviving
>manual of swordsmanship", dating from about 1295.
>
>This demonstration displays the new martial form being designed for the
>Society, which uses special sword simulators constructed to allow the form
>to be practiced without heavy armor. The form is intended to be a period
>combat form that will fill the niche between Armored Combat (also known as
>Heavy Weapons Combat) and Rapier Combat, and allow participants to train
>in period fighting techniques that will enhance both of the other forms.
>
>Please come out and see this demonstration of the new form. We will also
>offer classes for those that are interested in learning about the weapons,
>armor, and fighting styles of the Unarmored Combat form.
>The time and place for the Demonstration, and classes are TBD.
