Rocks with streamers

Postby newbiefourtyseven » Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:08 pm

I've seen some rocks recently that are made in such a way, that there's extra fabric on one side, kind of like a ribbon, or something, going for about maybe 10 inches. Its long enough to swing the rocks, some folks have sworn it improves distance to hold it by the streamer and throw it that way, kind of like using it as a sling.

It technically is still only foam and cloth, and of proper diameter.

I was wondering if there were any unofficial national level rules about that? Is it common, is it accepted at national level events? If it is allowed by that, how long can the streamers be?


Edit: Thanks for the info, and I so totally agree.

I have not heard anything good about this group. They are one of a small number of realms around the country who seem to think that nerking combat and using **** weapons make it "fun" for their members. It seems to me they mean sucking at fighting is "fun" for them.

I would say

1.5. Prohibited Weapons:
1.5.1. Entangling Weapons (nets, lassos)


would cover that. 10 inches is enough fabric to get wrapped around someone, and since you're throwing it at people's heads, it could hit someone in the eye. I would not allow them, and it's not just because i'm from Numenor.
