Thank Christ Irish hasn't changed much in the last few hundred years; I may just avoid getting killed! :lol:

Find some local warlord and convince him to give me shelter and a comfy position in the tribe with what knowledge I have. Maybe I can help invent stuff like crossbows a bit earlier.

Well, maybe we can take over a tribe or something.

I'd probably hike up north a few miles t ofind some shale formations in which to hunker down for the winter; my current location in the summer would be even better in 1300 than it is now - no summer renters; no bennie; and all the shellfish, weakfish, and stripers you could eat, along with fairly plentiful venison, squirrel, and rabbit. I might even relent and invite CPH for a bit. :wink:

I've gotten the impression that the easiest method, if possible, is to use a pair of glasses.

I'd be just fine with the outdoor survival bit; my big problem would be the fact that in 1300, the Comanche had yet to split off from the Shoshone way over in Colorado. I'm not even sure what tribe occupied this area at that time. :?

Well if we all appeared in the same spot I'd try to invent toilet paper and start the fad of women shaving their bodies.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

lucky you...I live in Crow territory, meaning that unless I move fast and don't encounter any I'll be dead within days. :(

though with my proximity, I might just hike on up to the Great Lakes, meet up with Striker and Kendall.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Well it would only take me about forty days to get there from where I am now. I suppose if we were really lucky we might bump into each othere around there. That's a lot of area to look for people I don't know by sight. Though I imagine being non-Native would make you stick out a bit. :wink:

Just look for the guy cursing in English as he runs from a war party. :lol:

No doubt. Frag man,could we at least get thrown a bone and be given a firearm and a couple hundred rounds and some food. I mean us folk in NA are pretty much fucked here, I don't even speak the language of the local Nation. At least the poor sods in Europe have a smidgen of a chance of communicating.

I just looked it up; I'd be in Caddo territory in 1300, which would be just fine. They were peaceful farmers (who'd probably be impressed with my knowledge of irrigation techniques). :wink:

Though, a gun would sure come in handy when hostile tribes tried to raid.

I can't remember which tribe is here, IIRC there's actually several. But even discounting them, this is a bad area. Humid as hell in the summer, down to -40 in the winter, swamps everywhere, all kinds of bears.

Yeah, some of our coastal salt marshed would be a little difficult to navigate, but all in all not bad territory at all. Plus, AFAIK, the Leni Lenape 'round here were pretty accomodating - mostly peaceful fishers/clammers and traders.

Give me a handful of cowrie shells and I'd be the Donald Trump of 1300. :lol:
