herveus1. What is your SCA name? (You don't have to write the full name, just your first name if you want.)
Herveus d'Ormonde
2. What is your home kingdom?
Atlantia
3. Have you ever lived in another kingdom? If so, where?
No.
4. Do you remember your first SCA event? When/what was it?
The first SCA I went to as an SCA event (discounting the first Pennsic I went to as a Marklander) was the coronation of Michael and Seonaid in 1990.
5. Do you have any awards? (You don't have to list them if you don't want)
Yes. Award of Arms, Grant of Arms, Golden Dolphin, Pelican, Pearl, Lozulet, and shortly (on 20 January) Laurel
6. Do you list them after your name in communications like e-mail?
On rare occasions, I'll spell them out. I never use the alphabet soup unless I'm being silly.
7. Do you have a device?
Yes. And a couple of badges and a badge jointly with my wife.
8. Do you use it? On what?
I have a banner with my device that is fifteen years old. I have used both of my badges to mark stuff. My protege wears one badge; my apprentice the other.
9. Are you on all the kingdom/society lists available to you, or do you avoid them?
No, and no. I subscribe to a modest number, and read what looks interesting. That means I ignore 90% of what comes through.
10. Do you keep your Pennsic/Estrella/Gulf Wars/etc. site tokens?
I don't deliberately discard them, but mostly the turn into clutter.
11. Do you keep the favours you've been given by royalty/friends/Sos, etc.? Do You wear them all?
See above.
12. Do you call your friends by their SCA names even when you're not at an event?
Frequently, but not uniformly.
13. Do you go out to dinner in garb after an event?
Usually. I'm comfortable either way.
14. Do you have all kinds of garb, or do you generally stick to one period?
I'm pretty much a long tunics kind of guy, notionally in the early twelfth-century Normal manner.
15. How many interests do you have within the SCA? What's your favourite?
More than I dare indulge. I'm a herald, and a tablet weaver. Beyond that, I make sawdust and shavings out of perfectly good pieces of wood. I want to try nalbinding, but I haven't made the space yet.
16. Do you have an SCA-oriented web site (to show off projects, keep dress diaries, etc.)?
I have several venues that are or have been used.
17. Do you maintain a hairstyle that is more period style than modern? How about any other part of your appearance?
Not deliberately. The hair on my head has been at a stable state for over fifteen years.
18. Do you tell "No $###, there I was" stories? (Admit it.)
Yep.
19. Authenticity is Fun. Yes or no?
Mu. Authenticity is a Good Thing when undertaken voluntarily, and a Bad Thing when used as a cudgel. It's also open to incremental application.
20. Is there one modern thing at events that really bugs you?
Flash photography in court.
Bonus Question! 21. Everyone has a shameful garb/accessory mistake hidden somewhere in their past. What's yours? (We're all friends here, we promise not to laugh. Much.)
Hmmm... I'm not thinking of anything specific (not that I'm claiming there is nothing to reveal).
