"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

Godspeed Everyone
« on: 2012-07-22, 18:11:55 »
At the Prompting of Lord Dane I guess I should stop lurking and post some =)

Hello Everyone

My name is Criminalhate (My online name for many years on many types of forums). The meaning of the name, since I get asked quite a bit. Its a personal message to myself to remember that hating is criminal and a waste of time and energy. Its Criminal to Hate or just criminalhate.

My offline name is John and I live in Metro Detroit Mi. Typically the only thing medievalesque I participate in is the Michigan Renascence Festival and St John's games (the Michigan Highland Fling) that has a living history-ish area during it. At the moment I do not own any garb but I've been contemplating putting one together. My interest is based in the crafting of different items and I enjoy making/remaking things. Now that the first post has been made I'll try to post a little more often.

So Hello Everyone and Godspeed.

Welcome!

I'm another fairly new member here, as well. I'm also from Michigan, Ann Arbor to be precise.

Yep these replies pretty much summarizes how we roll here! Although Lord_Dane the REAL test is how much money you are able to influence another to spend! ;)

I have not figured out what time period as of yet but I'm leaning towards late 9th century or early 14th century. And about pictures that's the problem they all look awesome =) how can you only choose one.

Welcome aboard!

Yeah, picking a period is tricky. That's why many of us have two or three. :)  (Or in the case of Sir Wolf, probably 20+ by now!)

Contrary to belief Sir Brian, I am no retail salesman unless you wish to discuss a reasonable commission for my efforts. :) Every man makes his choices willingly without undue influence of others. Others only present encouragement and alternate choices for the consumer. Trust from within to make the right purchase. :)
