Last time I checked you get smoked at realm practices. A lot.
yeah, i do. i have admitted i suck a lot previous. I am merely proud of the sword i've built and don't hesitate to brag about it. While i hold no hesitation to brag, i don't lie. It did knock a man down, it has gone through countless attempted blocks, i do feel like i'm letting down a commitment to red weapons when i use other weapons.
If you had been playing this game for only two months and you'd sucked the whole time, but was acknowledged for making a cool weapon by others, and had noticed it to be effective occasioanallyas it has, you would probably milk it for everything it's worth.
the comments about my huge penis were unessecary, but appreciated. thanks for noticing.
Moxk's post wasn't about making fun of anyone. It was about lying.
oh yeah, ther was no malicious sarcasm in that post whatsoever. i take offense that you say I lied. I did not **** lie, and do not **** lie, to anyone other than my parents who **** deserve it. Find a post where i lied and i will castrate myself before you.
I like red weapons. I knew when i started these games with year with Ragnarok that red weapons were not the norm. I could tell from the start 90% of fighters use shields and that it will be difficult to commit myself to wielding red weapons.
I made a red weapon for ragnarok. it's building was influenced by weapons i wielded in a different boffer group. What came of it was a large crosshilted sword with a large pommel.
At first i merely admired it's length and balance. I then found people to give me "props" for making a cool weapon. I suppose then i began to become proud of it.
I acknowlege the unorthodoxy of my weapon, and that much of my success with it was owed to the fact that most seasoned fighters don't encounter such a thing, but nontheless marginal success was met.
People asked me how i counterwieght my weapons and i tell them how and why...
yes exactly. I developed the tennis ball method of counterweighting in my old boffer sport where weapons tended to be heavier. The easiest counterweight i could muster was pennies, and i couldnt get enough inside the pipe to sufficiently balance it. This sword was quite larger so it required multiple tennis balls secured in a triangle shape.
...somehow i guess that makes me a jackass
I enjoy the role-playing aspect of this game. I flavor my wording often in text, which i suppose attributes to it's apparent boastfullness..
like when i say: "my swords reign of terror" i am literarily exaggerating the period from ragnarok to it's breaking in which i had a unique weapon which killed about 150 fighters.
The giant red is his thing, and that's cool, but it's only holding him back.
i have not practiced a day without picking up a shield and sword. it is more likely to say i fight half of the time that way, and take all tips given to me.
Medeival combat is my passion and I will play this game for a very long time. It would be much easier for me to fight sword and shield and do everything everyone else does, but i guess if nothing else this forum will motivate to not do so.
I fight with heavy weapons so when my edhellen sword comes i will be as trained as possible to use it. My unit will fight with red weapons as long as we are in existence, because it is of my opinion that this game needs flavor, and our unit can do that. If red weapons were stupid and pointless then they should not be in the BOW so that jackasses like me and my friends wont make them. We will practice and one day we won't suck and we will be grateful that we are skilled red-fighters and stand alone as the only all-red group in the game.
