Oh don't worry, I'm not the kind to take a knife to a gun-fight. Often. At least, not without bringing my gun with me, too.

That music's interesting. And it seems we share a fondness for orchestra...

But I've displaced my urge to share that here to another thread.

On another note, has anyone here heard a glasarmonika? The most cool sound I've heard from an instrument, I kid you not. They might displace violins as my favorite, truly.

And since I'm just blabbering rather than staying on topic and saying what's new with me, and nothing's new, I'll shut up now.

Oya Manda!

That's an amusingly mando sentiment.

Also it sounds familiar, but no, I don't think I've heard one.

It's been quite around here. I haven't been able to check in as much as I'd like. There has to be a way to get the clan to succeed. I wish I knew the answer.

Thank heaven someone replied. I was beginning to think the only way I'd be able to post would be double-posting.

Succeed? As long as there's room to grow, and there always will be, the clan will never "succeed", per se. But we can stagnate and foment. Right now, we're stagnating. And stagnation is the enemy of mando'ade.

I don't know how much effort you're all putting into your own lives to be as mando as you can be, but allow me to make clear that maintaining, renewing, building, and strengthening the bonds you have with your vode (be they online or anywhere else) is also very important. The goal is not just to have the principles of a mando'ad (if you wanted to be mando, you'd have those anyway), but to create a group behind which to unite people of those principles to encourage them in each other and others.

This means bringing new people in every chance you get, and being social with your vode. Get to know them, let them get to know you.

Find those that would be interested in the Mando Way, and introduce them. It doesn't have to be a wierd thing. We're just a group of fans who emulate a culture (albeit a fictional one) that we admire. Lots of groups do that. (SCA, anyone?)

So seriously, vode... pump some life into things. It's not really so hard. I'm trying my best over here. It'd be nice to see others trying too. And to hear how their efforts are going.

Oya Manda!

Awesome, vod. I'm glad.

I don't have any specific suggestions... but keep in mind you don't have to stick to mando-related sites (though those are the most ripe). Any places, online or off, where you think you can find people who might be interested are good.

Also keep in mind the kind of people that the Mando Way tends to attract, and the kind of people we WANT it to attract. Don't dismiss people, mind you... just make sure you don't make any false impressions. We're just a simple group uniting behind common values, and that's all.

And wherever you go (regardless of what you're doing, but especially if you're introducing someone to the mando'ade), always present yourself in such a way to represent the mando'ade well. You don't want to act like a total oaf for months with someone and then say "Hey, there's this group I think is pretty cool that I'm a part of, maybe you'd be interested?"

Let me know what else I can help with.

Oya Manda!

That's great advice. I didn't consider all that earlier. I wonder if Mandalorian RPG sites would yield fruit.

Fruit...LOLZ

Got myself sprayed with OC and beaten to crap two days ago. I think the SORT team we have at work uses the first training of new guys as more of a hazing than anything... pfft.

The "Bull in the Ring" was little more than an excuse to spray us with pepper spray and beat us with bags, I think... But whatever. I can tolerate it... It's not like I didn't ask for it, after all.

Sparred yesterday again. (Started sweating leftover OC into my eyes in the middle of it, too, <gripe>) Apparently I need to work on getting closer and extending my punches. So I'll be drilling on that for a while.

I guess that's all that's new with me for now. What's new with all of you?

Oya Manda!
