 This is something in which all of us in the SCA, would have to decide
for themselves.

    I do believe that mine would most likely be LBTOC ( Live By The Old
Code). This meaning the Code of Honor in which I deal with others with in
the SCA and in the mundane world. It is this Code that I strive
continuously to perfect in myself and also which drew me to the SCA. I
maybe wrong, but I feel that this is what has brought so many others to
this most wonderful organization.

  When I view this Code being lived out at events and gatherings is when
I am taking back in time and finally feel that I'm Home at last.
