The frequent SCA conversations just gave me an idea! WE should start a SCA group, but instead of SCA, it should be with guns and leather armor and crazy bikes and crazier people and Tina Turner.
What do you think?

I'm down. We'll have to give Phoenix a ring to get the radiation, though.

Definitely. Where shall we place the blast zone?
Plz come to my magical island and set everyone on fire (with leather)?
I like this idea and don't really understand why there isn't already a thunderdome "scene" in the same way there's a steampunk "scene".
I think we should start one. Like, now.
Seriously! We've already got a good setting down here for it, like Roger said we just need some radiation. But I don't know how to get it here or how much we should hav, because I still haven't seen the movies in their entirety, nor in years.
I might have to have a Mad Max party now.

I've heard stories of really old school SCA wearing Mad Max style armor. :lulz:

Not sure if it's an annual event or not: http://io9.com/5622316/screw-burning-man-this-years-greatest-desert-festival-is-a-three+day-mad-max-reenactment
Also a 2ish year old video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjt7BJoi6Qg
Spoke too soon, here's a web page for this year.: http://wastelandweekend.com/
Who wants to go to So-Cal when we've got plenty of weird and desert right here?
(that does look cool, though.)
I'm pretty serious about this, btw.
Oh this is great. I've been putting together a Doktor Phox costume on that theme thanks to one of Roger's rants. I need a pair of welding goggles...
Here is a picture of the beginnings of said costume.

That is less steampunk than I thought it would be.
Looks like SCA/LARP armor.
...which is essentially what I want to start up, only it'll be just a bunch of whackjobs holy people running around hitting each other with sticks in the middle of the legal district, wearing carpets and leather and having no clear objective.

So....the SCA circa before we were born? :lulz:
Possibly. :D

You want it should be more steampunk? I can always add to it.

You just stole it from LARPer didn't you?
You couldn't mug one could you? Is it too much to ask that you spill blood of a virgin when acquiring your armaments?

Not at all, Naturally, I beat the living bejesus out of him.
Seriously though, a friend of mine makes all sorts of armor for larps and what not, so yeah...
Two men enter. One man leaves.

Haha some people got seriously hurt at Thunderdome the year I went.
Even though there are no longer guns and explosives, I kind of love Burning Man partly because it's still fairly unregulated and people do dangerous, stupid shit.
I have a fantasy of buying some acreage in Eastern Oregon and hosting an annual big fucking burning and shooting at shit party.
Perhaps. But I wasn't thinking a yearly thingus.
Basically, what I had in mind was to just make other people's day weirder by going out dressed in whatever pot metal and carpet samples I can piece together. I'm not much of a leather-worker, I'm afraid. And then go around doing normal daily routine stuff (downtown, of course, this would hardly work well in your own house) and have a fight with someone else who is playing along if you encounter them. The loser goes about his business, or to the hospital, and the winner goes about his business, or to the hospital, whichever is needed for both cases. There isn't any prize except maybe working out a few personal issues that might be solved through some therapeutic cardio workout and socialization.
I think it sounds brilliant.
:D :D :D
