The Eternal Thread - Where's the Off Switch?

[Astrolinium]

I only had one from Mahaj, a long time ago.
I'm a raider sympathizer anyway.

I'm technically in the UDL.

I'm in the UDL and I participate in it somewhat frequently.

If you're going for more period-specific and authentic, I'd look up some research on the area and time period and style used, tbh. I focused more on the Italian due to my persona and all, and it was at the time, Renaissance to boot. Of course now I'm intrigued.

The Italian school of fencing, interestingly enough, is what evolved into modern fencing today. German fencing was mean to be interchangeable between a polearm and a sword. It was also a lot more brutal (to the point you'd have to edit it to use it in the SCA), using pommel strikes, wrestling, and slamming with the flat of the blade. English school of fencing was closer to Italian, and Scottish to German.

That's one of my options for when I have enough money to comission some armour. The other idea is more kite shield and an arming sword sort of deal.

I just loathe fencing.

Night Gidge! Get some sleep!

I used to, then I got busy.

So, you just get a "live show" and then remember it when need be? Kinky indeed.

I believe I'll just take the 5th on this one, and call it good. In the name of ... content, that's it. Yup. Maintaining content levels. That's the ticket.

'night Gidge!

night nathi

You'd have to be made of fail to hurt your head, its just a shopping cart race, geeze.

I wouldn't know, but if a can of soup falls on my head and gives me a concussion, I'm blaming it on you.

All along it, I've done both, at the same time.

I'm probably mildly raider, but I can understand why defenders do what they do.

Hopefully the concussion is bad enough that you forget to blame me...

Defending isn't as fun, I prefer to invade.

[Cu Math]

Thats all you need

I'm moderately disturbed by your interest in jacking off to my picture.

Better than you doing thus to mine....mutton chops are not usually on the list of turn-ons for anybody outside of 1899

Its too late for me, a man has to work.

[Ruridova]

Actually, I need to get off before too long. Which will begin with dragging myself away from this thread.
Adios.

You hope. We'll find out.

Invading is fun. Very fun. No kinkiness intended.

Nah, I just prefer physical sparring over fencing.

Bullshit.

You got me looking up and there seems to be a good deal of data out there on it all. Harnischfechten etc and what not - and yep, you seem to have the helms pretty much on, though I have seen some sallets and other bits turn up. There's always some overlap with folks.

Again, my problem is with the limited field of vision with some of the slit-visors, and my own issues with claustrophobia. If you have a place you can try some on and see for yourself how it suits you, no pun intended, that would be ideal. Not everyone has that opportunity though.

Wiring up these audio devices and filters is really confusing at the moment.... *scratches head*

Bullshit.

What wouldn't be considered bullshit then?

Ah. I'm a black belt in Shotokan, but I like bo-staff fighting and weapon fighting as well.

[Cu Math]

Off to musical rehearsal....wish me....something!

I teach taekwondo but am familiar with Gatka.
