Wow, are that many people so stuck in their beliefs that they just flounce when they come across someone who is simply trying to edificate them? :/ I don't get it. I'd figure that they'd want to share their knowledge and experiences, not just...poof...cos they got ticked with someone. Huh....

Amytheria Wow, are that many people so stuck in their beliefs that they just flounce when they come across someone who is simply trying to edificate them? :/ I don't get it. I'd figure that they'd want to share their knowledge and experiences, not just...poof...cos they got ticked with someone. Huh.... At least a discussion would be nice. Even if they still disagreed with us at the end - and frankly we didn't even get far enough to have a thing to agree or disagree about with the last few. I don't get it. Is it so hard to open one's mind just a little, to at least hear the input of others? It seems some people only want to hear the echoes of their own voices. sad

I love how we're stuck up for not wanting to call her Granny. For me, the really issue was that she called herself our Granny. She could have just said she'd tell us more about herself but that's not how she phrased it. She assumed a role that I am honestly uncomfortable with affording her. Kinship ties are very important to me and have a great deal of meaning and I was just trying to explain that. Apparently it's stuck up to disagree with someone.

I wasn't aware of those, but I just looked them up. I rather like Owari; it's pocket sized and very similar to mancala. I might try to make myself a board. I mostly am interested in tafl games and their variants. I made a reconstruction of the Stanway Board both to add to my reenactment kit and as a way of understanding a deity associated with board games... I had intended it as an offering but it did not end up being high enough quality workmanship to give to the gods.

And it's nice to see another Archaeology student about, though I've been intending to focus on Germanic and Scandinavian cultures. Isn't it lovely how we can work our paths in with this? Here's a question. Did you did you develop an attraction to your path because of your studies or did you end op studying what you do because of your path?

Tafl! I want to learn Tafl!!
Admittedly, mostly because Pratchett uses it when inventing Thud.
BUT STILL.

I ended up studying archaeology because of my path. smile But it grew into a very deep love of archaeology and anthropology. I had a childhood love of science and digging in the dirt for old things, but nothing really substantial until I started doing research on the Gauls. Sanguina Cruenta Tafl! I want to learn Tafl!! Admittedly, mostly because Pratchett uses it when inventing Thud. BUT STILL. I'm working on a little writeup of the significance of tafl and board games in mythology and how it relates to divination and the gods. Would you guys be interested in seeing it when I'm done? It seems like lots of people love tafl here. There's a book I really want called something along the lines of "Gaming for the Gods" about the development of early board games and their connections to divination, but I can't really remember the title. I saw it referenced in an article I was reading.
