This entry should have been published long ago, back in October-November 2010. But until the time has come I have not done.
all have friends who have friends, and these in part are friends (or acquaintances). For among these friends of friends there is always a "peculiar" that can be considered a geek, and whose actions or way of being is something "nonsense." Can not explain, most of us have had any (in my case not a friend-friend, as I said is a friend of a friend and since I do not see enough. It is so special is 87 and still in high school by various issues), in this case in this post I want to do a little tribute, because good people although very own and deserves it.
As is typical of doing things that you can not expect any madness becomes a surprise. They call Navarrete.
The mutual friend is Alberto, the players of the horde of orcs pin. It is not like the above, but tends to exaggerate and sometimes can lead to even more funny situations.
all began Oct. 1. I was at a friend of my dance group playing when I Play3 mobile phone rings, era Alberto.
Como fue hace tiempo, voy a resumir lo poco que recuerdo.
Alberto: Oye, que Navarrete te quiere comprar el gambesón.
Yo: ¿queeeeeeeeeeeeeeeé?
Alberto: Si, tío, que lo necesita, dice que te paga lo que sea.
Yo: ¿¿pero queeeeeé??
Alberto: Yes, it has been purchased online armor, and need a gambeson to take everything in haloween.
Me: I do not sell my gambeson. Why ?!!!! haloweeennnnn It will not come. ... What kind of armor has been purchased? "A coat of mail?.
Alberto: No, the other plate. Is purchased online, you've helped me. And also bought a shield, a helmet and a sword. 1500 euros has been made.
Me: Wow! How crazy!
. . .
leave here the conversation. Meanwhile senseless and explanations that I made him and other armor, I told him pass me on the Internet that he had bought and advise you as to Gambeson or additions.
armor bought from an online store in Britain, so the conversion rates in euros are calculated at the time that price in pounds.
in principle to such a confusion I thought it would be a historical frame, a plate of the fifteenth century or knowledge. But it turned out to be this:
-Helm. LARP Helmet, Dark Night. 83'27 E
-Armor. Drake Dark Platemail LARP. 537'23E
-Sword. LARP Templar Longsword. 87'34 E
-Shield. LARP Imperial Commander's Storm Shield. 217'06 E
armor is a fantasy role and softcombat. The sword and shield I see them too expensive, and more being foam foam (eye! Sword One and a half / two-handed shield!). The helmet, normal / good value, similar to historical patterns are not. The armor, I would not leave me much money on something, but we must emphasize that it is rustproof.
Total price: 924'9 euros (not including shipping). (Away from 1500 that said Albert, among many things there that says it is an exaggeration).
I do not spend big bucks on something that is too much money. Viva humility and spending responsible!.
--------------------------------------- ---------------
In the forum of the Orc Horde Thumbtack another possible option I explained this to material of historical recreation. (By The Time Seller products).
would consist of the following:
civil Attire:
Trousers. 31, Pants. 30, shoes. 60e. , Tunica. 36, Cinto. 25, Crespina / cap. Total 9'50. Armament
214'5.
Gambeson. 80 Crespina padded. 18 Gloves. Cota mesh + 21 mesh cap (which is on the pack). 142 spangenhelm Helm. Kite Shield 64. 202 148
Shield Sword Hanwei. 106 Total: 579 Total
complete: 579 +214'5 = 793'5
A full recreational equipment, civil and military for 130 euros less than what has been purchased Navarrete.
In the end, is what makes it special and craving geek, who bought "what was cool" and that's it.
... ........................................... ........
Our "hero" would in principle the armor to take for haloween. (Yes, sounds weird, but at least it will help more occasions).
As the shipment did not arrive in time for Halloween.
do not know how long in coming. I arrived in late November early December.
time to time I asked Alberto if the armor had come to see her and lend a hand. One day I asked for armor Alberto online:
Me: Alberto, have you already reached Navarrete's armor?
Alberto: Yes, but do not have here, has brought his people because he says there is a perfect perch for hanging.
Me: comooooooo ¿??.
Jajajajajajajajajajajajaja.
Thus the day to see the armor on for months. And therefore the publication of this blog.
Until this week, that due to Carnival photos have appeared in their armor tuenti. In it, the armor worn by the brother of Navarrete.
Alberto Speaking yesterday handed me a picture of himself with the armor .
Pictured Alberto Navarrete posing as you tweak the truss.
Personally, armor is fine, he's "Molona." But RPG / fantasy is not historical. Let me see a guy well and think clearly is a soft battle or combat role.
With Photos of the armor, I can terminate the subject until the next chapter in the I see with my own eyes the armor.
------------------------------------------ Comic
---------------------------- custard.
In those days I figured the price of armor that I got to make a comic with my "friends" flans. With a little metaphor for the love of the "medievaloide" something that can come unprepared needed large.
And do not get into debates or anything.
is well known that there are fans for the "medieval" clearly like the "fantasy" and not "history" or "truly medieval", which mounted a mess where you do not know the difference "fantasy" of "historical evocation" or "historical recreation" or story itself.
short, they like the little sword and armor.
It's happened to everyone, but it is good to know the difference to everything. (In the case of Alberto and Navarrete, forgotten by their posts talk about "medieval" when referring to something fancy).
------------------------------------------ -----------------
And finally tell you about how it goes:
I am pleased to mention that I am the Master on the Bibliographic Heritage. I mean, I'm studying Paleography (although I saw something in 4 of race), books and medieval manuscripts, the typologies of writing (uncial, semioncial, carolina, etc etc etc), reviewing and reading a lot of Latin medieval ... Viewing copies and facsimiles of copies, and several visits have been original files (but not touching) to highlight a half-century Bible production XIII Paris and thumbnails (similar to the Maciejowski Bible. I guess both can be the center of production) and an annotated ordinacions llibre autograph of the king's own Pedro IV. And many others who saw and many others who will be by "re-discover", although some labeled if they lack in-depth analysis can not draw the essence.
Ah! and I control what I say because I blog, the internet is so "Free" they told Forum Regi Fidelis about a teacher of mine who "re-discovered" the manuscript contained a commitment to Caspe, and the first class day in February asked
" anyone of you have commented on a forum Regi Fidelis?"
" Yes, I "I said.
From that day, a couple of days instead of calling my name I said "such Fidelis ?"
And I'm limited to give details so they do not also find this blog. Lol.
I said. I'm enjoying a long visit and study old documents files. Is a experience, is how to become part of history by reading the words (Rev, concessions, bulls etc ...) written by people at that time so far. I do not know how to describe it. It's like you speak over time, as if those papers and books over time will take his word.
Greetings to all. Outstanding leave comment in your blogs, as followers of mine who are not afraid, that I read. ;)
