			<description>Max-Gain Sys. is a fiberglass manufacturer acclaimed by a number of veteran Dagorhirrim. On their product list are 8 ft. round fiberglass tubes. For spear cores they have 1&quot; OD tubes with 1/8&quot; thick walls. They weigh 2 lbs. and run $10.00 apiece (+ $2.00 for packaging). If we order 10 cores, at 5 lbs. each (2lbs. + 3 lb. box) shipping will come to $20.50. Of course UPS ground may charge an additional $7.00 handling fee...AND an order of 10 or more gets us a 10% discount.

			<dc:creator>Summer</dc:creator>
			<description>Cort and I were chatting about ads on campus. Here are some of the ideas we have . . .



1. All college kids have a printing quota. we can use it at the end of the semester and get some black and white ads up. These ads would change between semesters, as the fighting times change, but, would be easy to read, simple, and focus more on the sportlike nature of it, and less on the larping part of it.



The reason I bring this up now is because the end of the semester is in sight, and I would  ...</description>

			<description><![CDATA[There was a necro of an old thread on the main Dag boards about how a thrown weapon could do more than white damage. Back in the old days of Dag, there were throwing axes, ect. that did blue damage. Would this be something you all would be interested in playtesting?

<br />
They would of course have to go through stringent safety checks before playtesting. Passing under white weapon specifications, or blue specs? Cored, coreless? Weight maximum/minimum?]]></description>

			<dc:creator>Kairi Cypmann</dc:creator>
			<description>So today, Lotus informed me that she has a sewing machine (albeit a small one) that she's going to let us use to make garb. This is really, really awesome, since there are several people lacking garb right now who could probably get some good use out of this.

Now, I'm definitely not an expert seamstress, but I've made a few things now myself, so if people want help making something (or if you're looking for patterns to make a specific tunic or something) please feel free to ask either myself  ...</description>

			<description>Alright, I know it's still a little early to be planning rides to Rag, but better sooner than later, right? Most times we go in small groups and end up paying a couple hundred just for gas to get to Rag and back. This is even more true with Rag moving further away.



Now, here's the point of this post. Kye's mother is a bus driver. She has worked it out with her boss that we can rent a bus with cargo space and room for 70 people to take to Rag! Along with a discount if Kye's mother drives,  ...</description>

			<dc:creator>Iohn de Mar</dc:creator>
			<description>There has been some discussion about what we can do as a realm to get better garb, look more period, and generally be more BA. Let this thread be for constructive ideas on how we can achieve these goals. Please chime in with your ideas.



1. Dagorhir garb rule of thumb: if you can tell its mundane from 10 ft. away, you need better garb.

2. Unless you have a darn good reason, don't wear excessive amounts of black. (black dye was prohibitively expensive in the middle ages, so wearing lots  ...</description>

			<dc:creator>Angus</dc:creator>
			<description>Once a month, you can attempt to pass a trial to count towards ranking. You get two tries each time. The trials should be hard.



Any member can write up a trial, we'll playtest it, and decide whether or not to use it based on how easy or difficult it is.



For example:

Spear trial

-You line up with a recruit in front of you carrying a shield. An opponent lines up against you wielding a red weapon. You must kill the red-wielder 5 times before he/she breaks the shield.

Shield trial

-You  ...</description>

If anyone met Rhyllin [Laura Scruggs] at War, she keeps telling Kaycie to tell me to tell people about this. She apparently wants me to try to get Alterra to go as well, even though I haven't spoken to anyone from Alterra since last Gates, haha.</description>

			<description>I think this is a pretty efficient way to make shields assuming you make them 4 at a time. 

-1 sheet of 4'x8', 3/8&quot; plywood. Cut into 2'x3' squares. Yielding 4 cores. 

I would prefer to bevel the bottom edge because I believe it is a more efficient design, but it would just be more cutting. After these shield blanks are cut, that would leave 1'x8' of plywood left that could be made into bucklers for spearmen or archers...

-1 roll of blue foam is ~2'x6', so 1 roll would make 2 layers  ...</description>

			<description>Yes, that's right. and they are created by me. (or at least until the idea catches on and wizards of the coast buys me out)

But seriously, I wanted to have something I could give out to people that had all the important Dag info on it, for recruitment purposes. And so, I present to you the first draft of just such a concept, after &gt;9000 hours in MSPaint:



Obviously this one is of me, but I will take requests if other people want them as well. I also plan to make a Haven card that has  ...</description>

			<dc:creator>Constantine</dc:creator>
			<description>So, it seems like EVA is like the mythril of the Dagorhir world. I've hear a lot about its qualities, as well as how expensive it is. I'd like to use some for at least a couple of weapons, but I'd like to get the best deal on it that I can find. If I can't find it for less than $30 for 47&quot; of 1/2&quot; thickness like I found on one website, then I'll probably just pass on it for a while. Does anyone know where to get good deals on EVA? I did a search for posts on EVA with no results, so  ...</description>

			<dc:creator>Angus</dc:creator>
			<description>Okay, so this is a hot topic for many of us, and in my opinion, one worthy of discussion. The question is, how do we handle drinking (and other drug use) at events, especially in regard to people who are underage. For those concerned, rest assured Haven has a tradition as a dry camp, and we do not tolerate underage drinking and drug use. The issue at hand is the attitude and policies of the event as a whole. Those who are discussing this in the WotIF after chat thread, please redirect your conversations  ...</description>

			<description>Alright, you may have seen the post on the facebook group, but they are going to write an article about us for the paper,and I've heard that it's going to be a pretty long one.



So, this will probably be one of our biggest recruiting actions, and we need to be prepared, and for that, we are going to need loaner weapons. 



We need to find out who is willing to work on some equipment before the wednesday after next (the 28th) (it is very unlikely that the article would be in this week's  ...</description>

			<description>Okay, so, one of my goals for this unit is for us to build up our endurance by training as a group. I have been making an effort to jog a few miles around town a few nights a week, and even after a week or two of doing this, I have noticed a significant increase in my energy and stamina. I know exercising is one of those things that, like homework, gets easier when you're not doing it by yourself. I've been taking jogs in the evenings around 8:30-9pm. Anyone who wants to join me is welcome to.  ...</description>

--Shield bashing

--Wrap shots 

--Blocking/avoiding wrap shots

--Shield breaking (striking the shield twice in rapid succession)

--Deflecting shield-breaking attacks

			<dc:creator>Iohn de Mar</dc:creator>
			<description>How do you feel about Haven playtesting PD on weapons and shields? For weapons, I propose the use of PD on all but the striking surfaces. For shields, the use of PD on all surfaces. In place of cloth coverings on shields and cloth &quot;tube&quot; covers for weapons. All equipment would first be checked on dimensions regardless of PD to ensure consistent weapons check.



Pros: awesome looking weapons, streamlined design, increased durability

Cons: potential safety concern, sensitivity to  ...</description>

			<description>Okay, for those who don't know, a meading is a gathering of friends to enjoy a batch of mead that has recently matured. As some of you may know, I laid down about 15 gallons of mead a few weeks ago, and it is almost ready to be bottled and/or drunk. This particular mead is similar to a pale ale in flavor, and thus I have decided to name it Angus' Pale Mead. My house is not necessarily the best place for a party (though with a little help, it wouldn't be a bad place to meet)

-total length 40.5

-green stappy tip

-counter weighted

-cover included



normally i'd ask for about 7, but since it is a fun noodle experiment i'm only asking 5. anyone interested? obviously i will wait until we r in rolla so you can look at it for yourselves </description>
