12.210.2.86:

The [[SCA]] has many '''traditions'''. Some are as simple as reverencing (bowing/curtseying) when you pass in front of the [[throne]]s (whether or not they are occupied), others are a little more complex. In the [[West]], and now [[Lochac]] (as a scion of the West) it is often said that [[Law]]s can be changed, but tradition is immutable. Even so, some traditions drift out of favour, and new ones emerge all the time.

Some things should be thought of as [[fads]] not traditions (even if something lasts a few years it may just be a passing thing).

== [[SCA]] traditions ==
* [[The SCA birthday song]].
* [[Cloved lemon]]s (and other fruit)
* [[No Shit, There I Was]] stories
* cheering - [[huzzah]], [[vivat]], [[hoobah]] and [[wassail]].
* [[SCA time]]
* [[Cleaning up]]
* and many more this editor can't think of right now.

The literal translation of vivat from Latin is 'long live'
