Here are some notes to help you get more out of your Dark Pages,
especially if you are
new to them. M.K.A. means Mundanely Known As, or the name that your real
life parents
gave to you. SCA name means the name that you have taken in the SCA for
your persona
while playing at being a medieval person. You do not have to have your
SCA name passed
through the college of Heralds for it to be published here, you just have
to have chosen
something you like that sounds medieval. Be careful in choosing a name,
if you haven't
already, since it will be hard to convince people to use a new name, if
you have to
change it later. If you have trouble choosing or researching a name,
contact one of our
many Heralds, and they will either help you, or refer you to the Herald
with the information you seek. (By the way, you don't have to have an SCA name to be
published here,
and your SCA name can also be your given name, if you so choose.)
In this listing you will find that everybody is printed Alphabetically.
To make it
easier to find the names, all Mundane names are listed first under any
given letter.
The Mundane names are sorted by last name and are printed in ALL UPPER
CASE. After all
the Mundane last names beginning with any given letter comes the SCA
names listed alphabetically by the first name (Since some SCAdians have only chosen a first
name so far).
If a person has both SCA and M. names then there is a key in front of
each of the listed
names so that you can find the other name. It works like this:
<SCHA>
Giovanni (Daino de Giacomettino)
giovannidm@aol.com
<Giov>
SCHAFER, GARTH
giovannidm@aol.com
(412) 782-5973
*
(412) 782-5973
*
The first four letters before each name, that are contained inside the
<xxxx> brackets
are the first four letters of the other type of name. The writing with
the "@" symbol
is an E-Mail address, and can be used over the InterNet.
Some people request that when you call them you use both your and their
mundane names
(this is especially true when other members of their home are not in the
SCA and they
don't know who this Giovanni person is that you are calling, because
there's no Giovanni
here!) Please respect this when you see it listed after an SCA name and
you'll either
get your message through, or talk to the right person. A "*" symbol
appears after the
phone numbers of those people who want this notice.
Also listed after SCA names, on the line undernieth, are Office titles,
if the person
is an Officer in charge of something. The titles begin & end with the
symbol "%". If
you don't know what a person's title means, here is a partial list (of
the ones I know
the meanings of)
SOMETHING Guild (The Contact for those interested in activities
normally associated
with a group of people interested in the SOMETHING listed)
PLACENAME Herald (Herald for the area called Placename.)
Mistress/Master of Horse (Arranger of rides to and from Events)
Marshal (Person in charge of making sure that a type of SCA combat is
done safely.
Knight Marshal is in charge of heavy weapons, Fencing Marshal takes
care of
fencers, Archery Marshal for Archery.)
Chirurgeon (a person in charge of First Aid, when they are at official
SCA Events.)
Minister of Arts and/or Sciences (Person who helps those interested in
crafts or
trades not covered by other Guilds in a given locality)
Seneschal (Technically the "President" of the group in question.
Responsible for coordinating efforts of the other Officers, as well as other duties.
When in doubt,
ask your nearest Seneshal.)
Chronicler (The Editor of an SCA newsletter at whatever level listed
before Chronicler)
Exchequer (Treasurer)
Chatelaine (Person in charge of greeting new people to the SCA. Also a
good first
place to go to in doubt.)
Other names should be fairly straight forward, and if in doubt, contact
the Chatelaine
or Seneschal and ask them about who is in charge of an activity.
