[Ansteorra-rapier] Re: Ansteorra-rapier Digest, Vol 12, Issue 4

Tue Jun 8 11:01:28 PDT 2004

Bring 'em all on!!! I plan on doing either 3 out of 5 total (all 
styles/weapon combo's, etc.), or 2/3 in no more than 3 different 
style/weapon combos.  Keep in mind that I plan to be fighting in 
all four tournaments on Friday.  So this really will be a Gauntlet 
for me.

I also will be furnishing cold water, ice cold wet washcloths, and 
fruit for everyone who fights me (oranges most likely, though my 
dear Brother will get pickles).  

Simone, whoever you want to do your proxy is okay with me.  And I 
plan on asking the boy some pretty pointed questions when he comes 
back from band camp.....

hey Alessandro, I'll be busy taking the boy to the airport that 
day, so
fight one (or 2 or 3 or . . .) for me!

- Witam, czesc Panstvo!

I saw this 'gauntlet challenge', and wondered what the usual 
protocol was for 
one. We don't have anything like this up here in the Middle.

You read about all these Terrorists who hung around on these 
expired visas, 
some for as long as 10-15 years. Now, compare that to Blockbuster; 
if you are 
two days late with a video, those people are all over you. I think 
we should 
put Blockbuster in charge of Homeland Security...

that would be the youth (he's going to band camp for a week) - the 
big boy
will be at AAA so I suppose I could ask him to fight a proxy for 
me instead.

Hmmmm . . . which would Corvin rather have? An extra fight with 
Alessandro,
or an extra fight with Don Robert ? . . . I may have to split my 
proxy
somehow . . . it *is* best 3 out of 5 isn't it?

regards,
Simone

Running a gauntlet is similsr to playing a prize. It's a tradition 
of some of the Ansteorrans WS's that trace lineage through Don 
Robert to have their new cadets face all comers on a given day 
usually for three passes, though sometimes more.  It is also 
tradition for brother and sister cadets (or sometimes cousins) to 
try to get proxies to make the new cadet's life hell and extend 
the day's fighting.

Aeron doesn't really trace lineage through Robert,  but he's 
apparently picked up the habit and will have his new cadet run a 
gauntlet.

... except that there's no prize.

The phrase is a confusion of two earlier phrases -- throwing a 
gauntlet (a
medieval method of issuing a challenge) and running a 
gantlet/gauntlet
(originally gantlope), which was a a 17th century military 
punishment,
running between two lines of men with clubs, and which later came 
to mean
any arranged ordeal.

Consider it a exhibition or general challenge, both known in 16th 
century
England, and don't sweat the wording.
