[SCA] It Takes MY Child to Raze a Village, cont'd

[suba_al_hadid]

Just out of curiosity, because I think you folks have a terrific sense of humor, if you were running an event of this name, what sorts of activities would *you* plan? I'm giving it to you blank because I want to build on the idea. They've sent me a list of what they did, and I hope to add to it and share back.

Ideas?

Thanks!

There would have to be a "storming the castle" of some sort...

[bertana]

That's what I was thinking, too! Don't they do something like that at Pennsic, where the kids get to storm the castle with water balloons?

Seems like a great way to expose them to siege weapons!

[suba_al_hadid]

Most excellent!

I wonder if Harsthorn-Dale still has their Castle of Love ramparts...

[suba_al_hadid]

The original event has marshmellow catapults, which were apparently a big hit.

I know we [Bhakail] have some "Not-Weapons-of-Mass-Destruction" that we were very carefully Not Displaying at Yule...

I think we could definitely have some siege weapon fun. Thanks!

[suba_al_hadid]

Ha!!!!

Now you get to come up with a description of what we'd be doing :)

[suba_al_hadid]

Hee!!!!!!! Oddly enough, the only complaints I ever get on my financial reports are that they are too confusing. My evil machinations must be working.

The original event had a Teaching Court, with apparently some hilariously-acted "What Not To Do In Court" moments.

I think we could embroider on this theme. Got ideas?

[suba_al_hadid]

Oooooooooo - absolutely!

And I know just the peerages to ask (::whistles innocently while eyeballing mikekn::)

I've had a tab with this page open for a few days now, and I'm still trying to come up with a pelican related thing. Arms and arts are easy - service not so much. (I keep picturing things like a team kitchen cleaning challenge :) )

[suba_al_hadid]

ooooooooo - that's an awesome idea! (scribbles furiously)

Also, I think a gaming tournament would fit into the day really well.

It might be safe to sign me up to help with this event... but only after HRM Alethea's reign. I'm a little stretched at the moment.

[suba_al_hadid]

I'm thinking Fall - does that help?

[alysten]

Yes. :D

[suba_al_hadid]

Excellent! ::steeples fingers not-so-innocently::

Mock "government" or other structure to plan an attack on a village (maybe composed of an adult team?) Then a follow-up to rebuild the village with new governance?

Barber-shop appreticeship? :)

[suba_al_hadid]

Ooooo - that requires some thinking and might be do-able.

Apprenticeships... another awesome idea!
