Ad-hoc practice strategy

[Cib]

I saw that Mog posted this on the Calgary FB page:

Would we work better on an ad-hoc schedule? Post events here for whatever time you think you can meet to fight and see how many people can make it.

We had talked about that as a possibility, a wile back. As it seems so some extent everyone in Calgary is fighting with their friends of an on, impromptu.

So, the idea is that if you are having some friends over to fight in your back yard, post it here. Some people wont mind driving the long distance to swing some foam. If you want to get togather to fight, post a time and location and see if people reply and are up to it.

Kinda a less formal strategy.

I agree that would probably work. Dalefris and I swing around some foam whenever we see each other. I check the boards every so often so it would probably work.

How many of the Cal Bel fighters are in the NW?

I read the phrase "Cal Bel" from Cib's post and it made me giggle because it sounded like cow bell :-)

And now for on topic thoughts. Maybe you'd have better luck not trying to have central practice locations. Try having a regular practice in each quadrant, or wherever there is interest, and then meet up as a whole every few weeks or so. Just as a way to gain some momentum.

[Cib]

That is what I was wondering. I think there may be enough interested parties located in the NW now to warrant a NW practice. Mog would have the best knowledge of the numbers.

But Mog, Draggoss, Zamisk, are in the NW, and I am fairly sure there are more than that. A quadrant solution was talked about originally, but we thought that a central practice would be better to start. Maybe the quadrant solution is worth a try.

I'd could totaly probably ;D come to a NW practice, and I have 2 legal swords I could bring, I only use one at a time because one is red.
I also have SUPER- DAGGER! But nobody could fight with it, just use it to block. If somebody won a fight with it, I would die laughing. Seriously. 11" of fun stabby action!

Huzzah.

I have a few freinds whom I could intrest in a joining up also.

Cib's dagger is smaller and it has gotten kills before. Also that size dagger is great for being the special weapon in games that call for one, (football, fetch, etc.)

As for a NW practice I technically live in the NE now, (bridgeland) but I'll be coming anyway

So I've seen Saturday at 1 proposed, any particular location anyone has in mind? (Saturday the 16th?)

[Moginheden]

Oh and sorry for the slow responses.. I was moving this weekend and I don't have net access at home yet.

You would have to hustle.

Changed my mind! I just had knee surgery on friday, and i have three holes in my knee. I can hardly walk without crutches, let alone...

I'll be a month or two even before I'm back to killing stuff.
So, i can't make it anytime soon

sorry

[Cib]

Right, I forgot you were getting that. Should this fix the problem for good or is it just one step?
