[Northkeep] Question?!

 The point is not "fighting for 3 solid days with no breaks". The point is this:
1: yes 45min. at a stretch is fine. 3 hours inbetween is exhausting and difficult. Either you have to armor down then armor back up, which is tiring, or you stay in armor, standing, walking around the fair, whatever for 3 hours. Which is even worse than fighting for 3 hours. The fatigue factor is high. Very high.
2:I will only say this once. The noise and rough game of heavy fighting draws more peoples attention than anything else. They may stay for the other things but they come initial two watch people hit each other. It is that simple whether anyone wishes to accept that or not.
3. The situation really doesn't change much, I have been there for the last 3 years and I will (barring health or money issues) be there again.
Finally, then I will go back to my hole: Some people may take this issue political, it is not. It is all logistics and fatigue factors as far as I am concerned.

a lot of people are getting upset that the person in
charge of this DEMO actually wanted to STRUCTURE the
demo so that the people participating could ALSO have
FUN at the FAIRE. I don't want to take any POLITICAL
sides here-- frankly I want to be everyone's friend
(and smile, I like to smile)-- but I have an honest
question for you heavy fighters out there (and
hopefully soon that will be WE heavy fighters.. yes--
I was hoping to be ready for Gulf, but looks like that
didn;t happen)-- an honest question-- Can you fight
for 3full days solid with no breaks?? All that I
believe the demo co-ordinators were trying to do was
break things up a bit! Show the world all of the FUN
things that we do in the SCA- There are other things
that are done in the SCA besides fight-- a lot of us
really take pride in those things that are NOT
fighting and would really like to show off what we do.
I would hope that the heavy fighters in the North can
understand this and can respect it.

So in answer to your question Carl, yes, fighting is
planned to be in 45 min bursts with time to take a
short breather in between.
