I agree with Jimi about the anviling. People are always trying to block huge red shots with a sword in front of their shield, and sometimes it works. But if you slam thier sword into thier shield and rock their whole * world, it's anivling and they are cheating. However enforcment of this IS up to the interpitaion of your local honcho at practice when it comes down to it. If, for whatever reason your local group will not sit everybody down and explain how anviling works, or the douch bags in question just won't stop cheating, here's what I would do.
In fact , this IS what I do when people are overly anvilly. I look at them as if they are wearing a suit of plate mail and this is a real fight. i.e. I stop hammering at them belegarth style and only try to hit them in places that I know will hurt. I start throwing j-hoks and stabbing for armpits with hate in my belly. I try to sweep the leg and hit the inside of the elbow. Eventually I start doing **** I'm not going to mention becuase it dangerous for new people. I only hit their shield if I think it's going to be in a place and at a speed that will RIP it from their hand. I try to knock them down and kill them by pounding them into the ground.
When people fight this way( anivil tricks and other **** rules lawyer stuff), they are saying they want to play to the very line of what is legal. I couldn't argee more. I automaticly ramp up my violence level to match. I love fighting at maximimum violence more than they like figting at maximum cheese.
