Do you like weapons?

Paganism? [shudder]

Sorry, you must understand. So, was it "the" pagan church, the one that actually isn't a pagan church, or was it a pagan denomination?

[Hawk]

heh

There's a shop in Jackson Hole that I've seen called "Kinves and Things."

[freddyfox]

No, this one is called "The house of knives"

dude, I like Claymores and large broadswords, after I saw the first highlander movie with Kurgan(Big Bald Dude in leather/big demon looking guy in bone armor) run through the guy and swing the sword and smack him against the wall I have been fond of em, me and my friends used to have highlander tournements with self made wooden stick swords, and mine were always large, think and heavy, and I owned because I would shatter peoples weapons then just swing like a madman, EVEN A REALLY AGILE KID WITH A BO COULDNT TOUCH ME!!! then my really strong friend found a lead pipe and nearly busted my leg open

[Tyhm]

Dude, no matter how strong your big-ass broadsword, you can't dodge a guy with a stick. Only sword that stands a chance is a katana, light and swift...

[Rekad]

the problem with Katanas they are just for show, and most people cant use a Katana if their lives depended on it, and big broad swords just rely on strength so a big person could smack the katana out of your hands(and your smile will go with the katana) and as for dodging, blocking with a sword is a useful thing, and against fast, nimble peoplemaybe a concealed gun or dagger would help

Dante...I like you,but Im pagan, so...please don't.

[Tyhm]

Ahh, who in the hell can possibly NOT use a katana?
It's not hard, just make sure you swing the blade-end toward the guy who's supposed to die. Much easier than Tennis...

[Hawk]

big chunky maces

[LinkX]

I prefer the weapons such as swords and sabers they use in the Medieval Era.

[Cyboars]

As I said, Raipers, Katanas and Spatula's..oh no akane-kun's at it again!heh..i gotta find a place to download some Ranma1/2 subs and dubs..

[Daat]

how about boiling water? best weapon that god has provided us with. throw some boiling water on your ass and you AREN'T getting up.

[Cyboars]

Lmao, i'd get up and beat the **** outta ya with a baseball bat or spatula..its the kinda jackass I am.

[Daat]

really? with all those third degree burns and your blood vessels bursting all over you? sorry, but if you were to even make an attempt to fight back, i'd backhand you before you even came near with your ***** ass weapons.

[Cyboars]

*****-ass?!What j00 talkin' 'bout, foo'?It takes a real man to use a katana, a bigger man to kill someone with a spatula..then again, it takes a jackass to beat you the hell down with a baseball bat.

[Rekad]

the only noticeably good thing about the katana is that is easy to slash with because thats all their really made for, they can slash and hack, are crap! if I went into battle Id have my handy bastard sword and a dagger(hidden) and maybe a glock if I was losing =)

this is turning into a horrible thread

the problem with boiling water is that when I try to use it, I usually spill a bunch on meeself... and it hurts alot

[Kaimetsu]

The style of a staff can't be beat, but in a true fight I'd rather have a katana. Still, throwing knives are even cooler.

Hmm, which weapon would you say could be most easily combined with unarmed martial arts? I'm thinking some kind of club or fighting baton?

[Hawk]

Weapons *grins*

[Rekad]

with un-armed martial arts? Id probably say it would be a fully-auto pistol with a banana clip but if they had to be semi low-tech I would have to say a punching dagger

[Kaimetsu]

A punching dagger, eh? Sounds okay, but also kinda weedy. I'm not gonna get close to a dude with a sword with my little pointy hands. I was thinking more of incorporating kicks into normal fighting. The stance used in staff fighting looks, at first glance, like it would be unsuitable, but it might work with a sword.

Now, obviously I wouldn't be sending head-height kicks at someone with a huge sharp bone-cutting sword, because then I'd limp for the rest of my days, but a good knee-breaker would surely be useful, and very difficult to deal with when the person is busy watching out for my sword strike.

"Oh, Mister Opponent, you wish to look down at my foot as I attempt to break your knee? Gooooood."

[Rekad]

kicking is something I dont like, because if I grabs your leg, the first thing your gonna is gonna be my punching daggers going into your chest, but if I had to use my feet, then I would probably put a little blade into each end of my shoes so I could use my feet as a letal weapon

[Kaimetsu]

You could catch my leg as it flew towards your knee in a time span of about half a second? I doubt it. If I was stupid enough to go chest height then maybe, but I'm not. You'd have a shattered knee in no time.

A blade in the shoes might work, but it couldn't be a very big blade or it'd get very clumsy. So you wouldn't be doing so much damage with it unless you hit face height, which is risky. On the other hand, using your feet as blunt weapons allows you to break bones, which would do far more damage.

[Rekad]

well, in a real battle, I would probably just swing with brute force and fight really close(so the punching dagger would work) until I would finally get a chance to run you through and as for kicks, moderate armour could take most of the force out of your kicks

[Kaimetsu]

If I'm holding a sword in front of me then it would be unwise to try to get close, lest you skewer yourself. Theoretically you could knock the blade away first, but it's risky, and you'd leave yourself open to a retaliatory slash.

Plus, is it possible to block with those hand daggers?

You're right about the armour, though. That'd be a real problem, but I could at least put you off balance or flinch you.

[Rekad]

if you were like that, Id use the weight advantage of the claymore I have and I would immediatly try to disarm you, then I would go in for the kill

[Kaimetsu]

Oh, you have a claymore? That changes things. In that case I'd be very careful about blocking, and try to redirect your attacks rather than simply put my sword in the way. Then, when you've thrown yourself off balance by swinging a big heavy piece of metal at me, I'd remove your head.

[freddyfox]

Fighting a dark lotus member can be described around the lines of "Holding your sword out infront of you while they run into it".

what kind of weapon would you like to use, because my style is Forcing you to block

I like to use a moss covered twig.

Oh, wait, are we talking about everquest or real life?

[Rekad]

Dark Lotus members dont count in battles, unless you trip over their dead bodies
