			<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>

			<description>It's all in the title. I don't really know who will be there or how big it will be. I actually don't know anything about it, other than what's in the title, haha. 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><![CDATA[so its not dark in the mornings anymore...but being as it is 6 (the time practice usually ends) and the moon has been out for quite a while i'm thinking we should have some words...namely:
<br />

<br />
1. when can we practice inside / be a school club
<br />
2. should be alter practice times.
<br />

<br />
i think we should keep them the same, provided we can go inside somewhere, unless its really nice out or something]]></description>

			<dc:creator>Iohn de Mar</dc:creator>
			<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.

			<description>Hello Haven! An idea is being disscussed on the Midwest boards that I hoped to get your input on. 



Imagine a map of units in the midwest that changes as battles at events are won or lost. the disscussion on the mid west boards can be found 

HERE .



I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread here so that the discussion can include as many brilliant minds as possible. LOL </description>

			<description>So, Chi Omega saw our article in the paper, and, due to this year's homecoming theme being Miners of the Round Table, were wondering if we would fight with them and/or for them at their house's front yard and/or roof this Thursday at one of their homecoming parties. Afterwards, we can have refreshments, etc. They sounded really interested in us and said they wanted to learn more about us, so we might want to consider having an additional practice or something there.

			<dc:creator>Iohn de Mar</dc:creator>
			<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>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>

			<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>

			<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

			<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 checking

--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>

			<dc:creator>Angus</dc:creator>
			<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)

It's never too early to start pimping the next events back home (especially since Rag is over). So here I am, to tell YOU - that not only have we solidified the dates for War of the Iron Fist.. but loves, we have EXTENDED it.



That's right, this year War of the Iron Fist is going to be a Four-Day Event!

One sucky thing is that it's the same month as WotIF though it think it's closer, but hopefully people can maybe make it to both, I know i'm going to try. </description>

Although this site is much more desirable than Spring Valley, there will be a considerable cost difference to attend next Rag.

			<description>The League of Mercenaries is a unit comprised of fighters who use their preferred weapon set.  The only weapon requirement is to have your own.



There is minimal ranking. The Lord is in charge of the League as a unit and has the final say in all matters but field combat. The Commander holds all authority on the battlefield, even over the Lord. Other members and Sub-Commanders are subjects to his order (to a reasonable degree).

Ranks:
