This page is dedicated to the FATGUYS,
a small but determined group of people dedicated to LIVING LARGE!
My appologies to the European Fatguys for not having a page in their
language.

I have found a perfect quote for the Fatguys
Proverbs 31:6-7 (King James version)
The Fatguys started during the great conflict known
as Double Wars. The gods of War(and BEER) must have smiled upon the field in
southern Nordmark on that fateful day. As if some cosmic force were present, four
great (in Size at least) men were brought together. They stood like a great wall
and all that came before them were Flattened. No force could slow them. It was a
grand day.
All of those present were witness to the beginings of something Big.(really BIG)
From the time of the first tourney, the group as expanded over several countries,
and two continents. Its members are trying to recreate the Current Middle Ages.
In doing so, their only requirement is to Live Large. Living large does not
necessarily mean being fat (although this does not disqualify), It just means
Living life to the fullest. Living in comfort. Why live in a tent that is just
big enough, when you could live in a tent the size of Cleveland. Life is to be
enjoyed, whether current, or current middle ages.
What Are the Fatguys?
The Fatguys are nothing more than a group of individuals within the Society for
Creative Anachronism. We do not exist for any normal reason. We are not a Household,
though we do hang out together. We are not a fighting unit, but we do fight together.
We have NO political ambition as a group. We do not seek recognition. Individual
members are free to persue their arts, offices, goals, and politics to their hearts
content. (just not in our camp) We recognize that the SCA would function poorly
without the work that keeps it running smoothly. But there is a time to set aside
the office, the title, the rank, the politics, and just have some fun. We exist for
our own personel enjoyment. We like to spend time together. We have been known to
throw an occasinal party. We believe that the current middle ages should be fun.
We like to think of ourselves as just a peaceful refuge from the rigors of the
current middle ages. We try and provide a low stress environment, a place to relax.
In our camp you may find a refeshing drink, hear a song,(we don't promise to be
on key) engage in a friendly conversation, and mabye little lighthearted flirtation.
First and formost we gather together to have fun. We do not belive in doing things
for "A Reason", but rather because we think it's fun. We continue to expand, not
just to expand but because we keep running into people with similar desires as
our own.
In short, We exist to LIVE LARGE, plain and simple.

Official Stuff
This is the official page of the group known as the Fatguys.
It is not an official publication of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc.
and does not delineate SCA policies. Even the Fatguys have to follow certian rules.
