Dema Naito_Mitsukai Silver Mist Kittywitch If "marrying outside the religon" refers to a rennie or mundane. If you know what a rennie or a mundane is, for that matter. Hey now! As a rennie, and an SCA hopful, I dont get why the speration is so large. >< Erm ... I'll let someone else with a more tactful nature answer that one! rofl heart *giggles* no comment ^_^ And here I thought this one was self-explanitory. I guess it's just so ingrained that I can't think of the words to express the emotion.

I find it rather closed minded on both groups parts. Quite frankly, it reaks of a lack of understanding of each group from the other. And not all rennies are into fairy wings and other such s**t.

The thing with rennies and SCAdians varies alot group to group.
(Because each group has it's own thing that it does. I mean, though our bardics and abiance kick a** in my group, alot of people only have personnas so they know what period to dress in. "Time to get in personna, Mistress Amytha." "...per-so-na..?")
There's a whole "We're one period! We're so authentic!" "That explains the 17th century pirates..." thing... and then the wide acceptance of Amy Browns in Renfairs...
We also can't forget both sides saying their fighting is manlier and cooler, the rennies because they use real swords, the SCAdians because it isn't coriographed.

You also have to understand that ren faires have to amke money and some of what they do is not dictated by the people involved, but rather, the owners and the people who pay to come. The owner at our fair has screwed over so many plans to make it more historically accurate. We do what we can.

And not all rennies are into fairy wings and other such s**t. I don't care if you're a Rennie or whatever just don't confuse the two, there are huge differences even between un-sanctioned events which are way more lax on a ton of stuff than sanctioned ones are. I acctually don't mind Ren Faires in fact it is a gateway to the SCA in a sense because yes they do do some of the same things like fighting and dressing up and what not, plus the vendors sell a lot of the same things so you know if someone is researching Ren Faires they could very well stumble accross SCA stuff and like that better(which I could only hope they would cuz its much more fun IMO)

Sorta. The Ren faire is lower quality ( no minimal offense) so really it's less addicting than us.

SashaRavensorrow You might be in the SCA if: -You know all your friends SCA names..... But not their real ones. It took three years for a family (who are now pretty much part of our family) to remember our mundane names

You know your in the SCA when your friends come to you, hand you a pile of leather, metal, a box of roofing nails and a jar of pennies, sigh and say "You get it done in time and I'll try to authorize at Ice Dragon."
Without needing another word you make armour fitted to their persona.

Not really. You use the roofing nails and the pennies for rivets. Drill out the center of the penny, put the roofing nail through the holes needing a rivet, cut off the end and peen over the end of the nail.
