New Topic:

As I have mentioned, I am new to Atlantia, and concerned that
the things I used to do in AEthelmearc are inappropriate to
genteel Atlantian Society.  I now invite you to rate my
activities to the following scale:

+3: I wish more people would do this.
+2: You'll fit right in doing this.
+1: Some people really like this, and nobody really hates it.
+0: This is about what I'd expect from you.
-1: If this is what you want to do, I won't stop you,
    but I don't want to see it.
-2: If you do this, be sure people know you're from the East
    (It's good to be reminded why we broke off from y'all)
-3: I'm glad you brought this up here first, before you went
    and ruined an actual event.
-4: Depending on the site, this may be against mundane law.

And now, the questionable activities:

A: Singing songs about the SCA, set to 20th century tunes.
   (such as "Anachronism" to the tune of "Anticipation")
B: Singing songs about or from post-Period Scotland, Ireland, or Canada.
   (such as "How I wish I were in Cherbrook now")
C: Singing songs from the Period in the original language.
   (such as "Bulluc sterteth, bucke verteth; murie sing cuccu!")
D: Having myself called into court to make a fawning tribute to royalty.
E: Having myself called into court to publicly proclaim love for my wife.
F: Wearing various unregistered fool attire:
   F-a: Jester's cap and bells of two ears per pale argent and azure.
   F-b: Cavalier breeches and coat per pale argent and azure.
   F-c: T-tunic per pale blue plaid and red plaid.
   F-d: Lots and lots of bells, at wrists and ankles, and on my zone.
G: Bringing in a big box of board games, including:
   G-a: Fanorona, the national game of Madagascar.
   G-b: Byzantine Round Chess.
   G-c: XiangQi (Chinese Chess)
   G-d: Shogi (Japanese Chess)
   G-e: Kaissa (Gorean Chess)
   G-f: Jetan (Barsoomian Chess)
H: Spinning a bamboo humming top.
I: Shouting "Vivant!" instead of "Vivat!" when more than one person
   is being acclaimed.
J: Shouting "Vivamus!" instead of "Vivat!" when the acclamation is
   something like "To the Populace"
K: When a lady offers her hand, bowing low and placing her hand on
   the top of my head.
L: Performing half of a comic dialog in Latin.
M: During the feast, proposing a toast ("Incolumes reveniant") for
   all Scadians mundanely deployed in harm's way.

Keep in mind that these are all things that I actually have done
or have seriously contemplated doing at actual SCA events.
