I like sheid and flail, florintine (two swords), and dual daggers. In that order.

BTW, ther's been a poll like this before. Not sure were, If you want results now, you might look at that.

Bow and Arrow, but I carry along a medium sized punch (maybe 3'x1.5'?, strapped to belt) and a longsword(also strapped to belt).

If i get rushed i can switch to sword/board in about 2 seconds, usually with no troubles, though a couple times i've had the bowstring get caught in the shield, and it's not good.

I chose other, but of the choices you posted above, id pick sword and board (preferably longsword and round)

I too chose other...

basically, if it's a weapon, and it will kill my enemies... I like it, I am up to using anything, but my primaries are mace/sword; mace or sword with board; archery

I used to use a flail and shield all of the time. Now, I use my sword instead of my flail. I'm making a new flail right now, so when I get it done, I'll probably switch back and forth from the flail to sword or something. At events, I'll probably use my flail more so that I can pwn faster. :)

feel weird having Horde (graavish) giving support to me...appreciating the finer arts of the dusted milk fighting technique.

I use double blue swords. Ocassionally,if I must,I can/will do single blue. Hopefully I'll eventually start practice with some archery,as I have a bow and some arrows also. I need to work and being more agressive and quicker though,in flourentine.

How did you forget Red weapons as an option :eek: ???? Or better yet, TWO red weapons :D . Anyway, as soon as my edhellen two-hander gets in, I'll be duel wielding my red ax (* heavy) and the 2 hand sword. It's awesome, the ax has such a wide head that it acts almost like a shield on a stick for almost anything except arrows which is why I'm also working on a concave sled core round shield to wear on my back. So yeah, obvioulsy I'm big and I like to use big weapons. If I could, I would stick to glaive fighting for the rest of my life but seeing as that is not an option I'll stick to my dual reds.

I dunno, grease is pretty damned skilled with a glaive. He's been able to own many skilled people throughout his glaive wielding days.

I prefer using my sword and my shield..... Although, sometimes, I will bring out my flail when I am either bored or really mad at somebody for, say, rhinohiding, or a bad attitude..... They recieve no mercy at all.....

I have a huge crazy red mace made out of paper mache filled with banana jello, that I bring out once-awhile. the size of it scares all to poop in their pants and the explosion of jello is quite hilarious, and tasty

mace is and flail is listed so is sword and shield, but why not flail and shield, it seems like that should be disimilair enough to a mace or sword

define rhinoholding. I'm trying to be more physical in the grappling aspect and I'd like to avoid having people mad at me cause I was "rhinoholding".

Rhinohiding is when a person is obviously not taking shots. Not if, like, somebody says that the person isn't taking them, especially if the person complaining is a total noob that doesn't realize that the person may be good at blocking. Some people just totally blow off shots. Others will do stupid things like take an arm after recieving a death shot. I know people that do both of these things.....
