Re: AC needs a by-line

How about:

On the Cutting Edge of Authenticity

Bring Research and Reenacting together

Striving for the best in accuracy

Where Research and Accuracy are the Key

Holding to A Higher Standard

Re: AC needs a by-line

"Bringing Research and Reenacting together"

I love Lee's suggestion above. I would only add the "ing".

That one jump out at me.....

Re: AC needs a by-line

Where the past comes alive

Remembering America's Hero's

A thousand points of Accuracy

Got Authenticity?

[DougCooper]

Re: AC needs a by-line

Miche' - oops! You are right - "It's all about the original Americans" is better.

Wow!!! Our motto for the CWCivilian list is very close to that!! Great minds must think alike. I think Glenna Chirsten or Barbara Huffman came up with ours... "Accuracy is a process, not a final destination." The only problem with the "Its all about the original soliders" idea is that some civilians may think its a military only list. :wink_smil

No problem, can't forget us progressively minded civs though can we. :tounge_sm


How about...

"Saving the hobby one reenactor at a time."

[M.Latham]

Re: AC needs a by-line

"For authentics, by authentics."

"Striving to improve, by research."

Re: AC needs a by-line

Here is my thought:

"Dedicated to the accurate impression..."


As well as:

"Where accuracy is the goal..."

"Where accuracy is the ambition..."

"Bringing reenactors to the next level..."

"Because authenticity is everything..."

Here is mine.

To honor those that came before us.

I thought of another one.

"For your impression is a terrible thing to waste".

[john duffer]

Re: AC needs a by-line

"We Never Close"

[Ringgold]

Re: AC needs a by-line

We honor our ancestors best by striving to always tell their stories truthfully.

or something like that . . .

"Nicer than the OTB, more serious than Szabo's"

I am reminded of a cartoon of Andy Capp shopping for a doormat. The salesman is showing Andy and wife, Flo, a "Welcome" mat. Andy asks, "Do you have one that says 'Bugger Off'?"

I am appalled; appalled, mind you, at the attitude expressed here :wink_smil . The next time we share an event, I shall require you to come to our campsite and sing off-key music with us while relieving you of all your worldly goods in a game of chuckaluck. :D

Greetings,

>"For Those Who Listen to the Voices of the Past..."

or

"For Those Who Listen to the Voices in Their Head..." (just joking--profuse apologies to Curt!)

Mirth aside, how about this:

"Leading Progressive 19th Century Living Historians...into the 21st Century."

or some such tommy-rot.

Yours, &c., &c.,
