Thoughts and opinions about the SCA. Including rants, raves and reviews. General notes on my SCAdian life.

About Me

My Photo
Name:

(SCA Persona)-- A Jute, born in the great and fine lands of Juzki (Jutland), I was raised to be a metalsmith but learned to wage battle to protect my home lands. As life went on I saw a need to go forth and crush those that would someday try to take our lands. Now I live by my sword and get paid in plunder. It is a fitting life.. My the gods look down on me with favor. Hearing news of an army from the south advancing north, I and fellow kinsmen took to the ships. We sailed south and west along the coast and down the Elbe. We joined with the armies to push back the advancing Romans. For many years I fought as a mercenary against Rome. With plenty of gold, weapons and armor taken from my enemies I took back to the ship. Sailing from Gaul I made my way north to the island of Britian where I met the people of the crow. Clanne Preachain took me in as one of their own and by their side is where I fought for many years. One day I may find myself in my homelands but for now life is good. I have even married a woman of Anglesey, but she is from a land north of my homelands. She came by way of ship to ply her trade with the spear. Now I fight by her side and with her people.

Bigots of Atlantia



So, it seems that some people think I have a general problem with the populous of Atlantia. Apparently they have gotten this idea from my post. Well, I have a lot of friends that live within the "Kingdom of Atlantia". I even like a few of the Atlantian regulars but it is the bigotry of the general Atlantian that burns the shit out of me.

I am a Jute and the Jutes were a Germanic Celtic tribe. Now some people believe that this puts me out of the time period of the SCA. And there is a general dislike of all celtic personas in the Atlantian kingdom. Yet, somehow the Romans are accepted. The Celts were still in Brition after the Romans left. The germanic celts created France, have you not heard of the Franks? So, why all the celt bashing?

The image that is posted with this blog is from a copy of the Acorn. So, come get me for copyright infrigment. It is the worst cartoon you could post in a publication from a Socitey that is suppose to promote "Honor", "Chivilry" and "Respect".

I am trying to play your game by your rules with a "Barbarian" persona and since it does not fit the limp wrist fop norm of the kingdom the populous can snark freely and it is considered proper behaviour? That is BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!

So, I am a "Bog Trooper", I am "Preachain" and it looks like now I am also "Anglesey" but I am not Atlantian!!!!!!!

Until the main stream populous becomes a civil populous that tries to uphold the standards of the SCA, I will not be counted among you!

That is my rant for today...........................
