Despite being run by people who have the good and bad attributes of people, this is a marvelous organization. The average SCA person is nicer, more honest, and more intelligent than the average population. We are full of creative people and people who cherish honor and chivalry. Every group will have people who do not live up to the ideals of the group and they will stand out and be noticed because of their being the exception. But the SCA has many fewer of them than most.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>In Service,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Caelin on Andrede<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-left:solid blue 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt'><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> elfsea-bounces+rjt=softwareinnovation.com@lists.ansteorra.org [mailto:elfsea-bounces+rjt=softwareinnovation.com@lists.ansteorra.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Marilyn Wolffe<br><b>Sent:</b> Saturday, September 03, 2011 11:36 AM<br><b>To:</b> elfsea@lists.ansteorra.org<br><b>Subject:</b> [Elfsea] OT about Craigs List Find -SO much for Chivalry<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0><tr><td valign=top style='padding:0in 0in 0in 0in'><div><p class=MsoNormal>I was so excited to see this post Lochlan posted yesterday.

We agree to the price of 275, she said it was ours and said she would text me her address in the morning. I had even told her we could come up last night and get it, with cash in hand of course. No she said morning would be better.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>This morning at 754 am I received the text with her address, and we were off. We live in south Arlington almost to Mansfield, Haltom City is not around the corner. On our way there, I received another text- Her son had three other interested people, and the price was now 300 -who ever got to her house first with the correct amount got it. I tried calling her-no answer, we were in Bedford so we continued. We weren't first because they would not even answer the door.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>So much for Honor and Chivalry, maybe it is a good thing that these people no longer participate, because they have none.

According to the recent BlackStar we are about average in play time. Also one of the reasons people leave again according to the BS is bad experiences-this is one of them(as well as our last event we attended). I hope the person who purchased the Armour's first fight is against a VERY strong fighter. I generally am not a vindictive person- but the experience today is how I feel the SCA is head towards.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>LIKE IS SAID SO MUCH FOR HONOR AND CHIVALRY!<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Lady Meriyan der Grat<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><br>--- On <b>Fri, 9/2/11, Brandon McDermott <i><<a href="mailto:brandonsmcd@yahoo.com">brandonsmcd@yahoo.com</a>></i></b> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><blockquote style='border:none;border-left:solid #1010FF 1.5pt;padding:0in 0in 0in 4.0pt;margin-left:3.75pt;margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>From: Brandon McDermott <<a href="mailto:brandonsmcd@yahoo.com">brandonsmcd@yahoo.com</a>><br>Subject: [Elfsea] Craigs List Find - $275 OBO for a complete suit of plate, gauntlets, shield, & helm<br>To: "Elfsea" <<a href="mailto:elfsea@lists.ansteorra.org">elfsea@lists.ansteorra.org</a>>, "Steppes" <<a href="mailto:steppes@lists.ansteorra.org">steppes@lists.ansteorra.org</a>><br>Date: Friday, September 2, 2011, 12:47 PM<o:p></o:p></p><div id=yiv813418872><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'><a href="http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/spo/2545239252.html" target="_blank">http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/spo/2545239252.html</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='color:black'>I foound this on craigslist and thought someone might be interested. $275 OBO for a complete suit of plate, gauntlets, shield, & helm.
