That first link is in the sticky post at the top of this board. The second one can be found on the pages in the first link.
Thanks though.

I totally MUST Rat Puck this year! I just gotta do it! I feel the urgent need to go and sew myself a rat right this minute!
How could I have missed out on so much fun all these years? Penfold, I must learn from the master, and do we have a crimson rat? Oh, and can I make my own rat and what must it be stuffed with? Or, is it up to the owner to decide?
So many questions, so little time...... Cheese!!!!!!!!!!!!

We do not yet have a Crimson Rat, as of now the Unofficial Pox Open is...well, unofficial. I have the blessing of Emrys Fleet to play the game of Rat Puck at Avaloch though and that's all that is needed to have some great fun. To truly play Rat Puck, the rat must be purchased through Emrys' website. There is a standard upheld with the rats as he makes them himself and all are made the same weight, size, etc. Plus, Rat Puck is his afterall. It's only fair we pay tribute to the master himself. I quite enjoyed ordering my rats from him because I had no idea what I was going to get until they arrived. What showed up were four of the best rats EVER! But then that is my biased opinion. As for a rat pucking stick, I would look upon the links above. The Wildhunt website has all the rules and the "sizing" of the sticks. It also has a link to the bamboo website where I purchased my four sticks. They are a great buy, but everyone is always welcome to make their own stick-wise, within the rules. I will be contacting Emrys again this season for more rats and speaking to him about my experience thus far with the game in Avaloch. With any luck, perhaps I can convince him to allow me to create my own form of reward/pin as long as I do make sure people understand it is not an official piece of the rat pucking circuit. Who knows? Perhaps one day I'll make it to one of his tournaments and win myself a crimson rat! That will take quite a bit of practice though. By the way, the only reason I'm babbling so incoherently is because I am sleepy. Therefore, I will now goto bed hoping that you can understand my babble. If not, perhaps someone will help translate and if not that, perhaps I will translate at a time when I am more awake. Woo!

Also, Britny and I have an extra rat we will have with us at faire (probably not actually on our persons, but it will be in the area somewhere) When Britny had me order one for her to give to Leah for Xmas, I grabbed an extra. Never too many rats, and why pay shipping for just one

Oh thank you Trevor for the offer of sharing your rat- I feel truely blessed to have friends that are willing to share their most valued possession, their rat!!
Agreeing with Penfold, that we should support the almighty creator of this most treasured game, I have ordered a couple of rats from the master himself. I do plan to make my own stick, gives me something to do on these cold crummy nights. I did look at the ones on the website so I know what the general rules for making one are. Thanks Penfold, for that lovely post, good to hear from you and no, your were not too tired, I understood completely!!
One more thing, Trevor, we need a smiley icon for rat pucking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want my rats, They call to me, I see them in the mist, Their eyes follow me wherever I move, I feel their presense, I can feel their breath on the back of my neck, They grind their teeth in antisipation, As do I............
