This is not really an option because SCA rules mandate that HOLD and <u>only </u>HOLD will be used to stop combat for safety reasons. No other term may be used,<br><br>Beyond that, there is already enough confusion from people accidentally saying hold or words that sound like it. Imagine having ANOTHER word (and everything that sounds like it) that causes this chaos.<br>
<br>Perhaps the SCA should have found a word that does not have other useful meanings in combat (hold that line!) and does not sound like dozens of other useful words (fill that hole!). I can just imagine the calls of ORANGE!<br>
