That's pretty much the perfect instructional picture on how not to protect a spearman from archers.

Nah, wasn't just you. I was shooting most of the day, and there was a complete and utter lack of any attempt by shieldmen to protect their poles. I hear that shooting fish in a barrel and taking candy from kids are actually fairly difficult things to do, so I'll compare it instead to, well, shooting completely unprotected dummies with giant "SHOOT ME" signs who weren't receiving the slightest bit of support from the shield line.

by **Mekoot Rowan** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 11:17 am

Agreed. I decided against picking up a spear after getting popped three times in the head by arrows and finally taking two to the head at once.

by **Derian** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 12:10 pm

I'm so glad I had a helmet. I got shot twice all day; once in the shoulder and once in the *.

Who's the dude in the uber helmet in that first picture?
Also, Arioch is dead sexy in that second one.

With the dreads/braids?

Locutus.

by **Troll** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:36 pm

so...garb anyone?

who forgot to mention that garb is sort of important

every person who lacked proper garb was talked to by at least one herald. That rule will be stressed for Spring Wars, don't worry.

by **Troll** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 10:52 pm

i know, i was more just pointing a finger at a guy not in garb.

the event runners are doing a great job.

by **Derian** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 11:00 pm

Opener seemed a bit weird, garb wise.

There was both amazing garb and absolutely awful garb. It doesn't seem like you often see both extremes right next to each other like that.

by **Jorel** » Mon Feb 16, 2009 11:38 pm

I know I was ashamed of my garb (minus my petitioners tabard) enough so that I'm overhauling and making a good set for spring wars, no more sweatpants and collar shirts for me.

by **faline** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 12:35 am

It's Illinois.

That's how the **** we roll.

Actually, Troll was much nicer about Garb than I'd have been had I been helping up there. I have a tendency to yell a lot at people who don't wear garb.

Thanks for the pics everyone! They're fantastic!

Yeah, that guy. Thanks Dagganoth.

I guess the archers were all on their game; it seemed like every 20 minutes someone went down because he got popped in the eye.

Weapons check went quick, and everyone seemed eager every battle. Great atmosphere, and thumbs up to Pack for keeping everything moving.

yay more pictures

by **Poo** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 1:33 pm

My videos, sorry there's no unit battles, and that the filming isn't the best. I wanted to fight this whole event, so i had my dad film. He got some good stuff, but i think i'm going to do it next time. And if people didn't meet me, i'm the one in the black kilt and white shirt that keeps getting zoomed in on. Enjoy.

I also uploaded them in the wrong order :axed:

One
Two
Three
Four

by **Spike** » Tue Feb 17, 2009 3:00 pm

Sorry there aren't a whole lot. I was pretty sick and only took pictures for about a half an hour. I did get some good shots just hanging around on the sidelines just on the verge of barfing, though.

by **p_quick** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 11:13 pm

i'm glad you liked it

by **Troll** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 11:19 pm

yeah, that was some really nice sparring. was it recommended to use rounds or did like everyone just happen to be fighting with one?

good stuff. i really need to spar more people who use the stabbing, it really intrigues me as a lefty.

by **p_quick** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 11:47 pm

i've discovered in what i deem as higher end fighting, that flails are a weak weapon. once you know how to chop the chain and block them correctly they loose their advantage and are only left with their disadvantages, less defense, and slow.

But to answer your question, no, everyone was using swords on their own. it was just open sparing.

All the cool kids are fighting with small rounds these days.

I think I also saw the return of the club.

Quick sidebar, whats that club made out of Peter? And how is it made?

by **p_quick** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 4:44 pm

everyone is so interested in my sword. And it is a sword, it is just round blade instead of flat blade. It is just the standard edhellen round blade, with my own handle on it.

34 total inch sword, 9 inch top of handle to end of pommel
oh yea and it weighs 18 ounces.

by **Crynolyn** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 4:56 pm

I just got my pics off the mem cards, 1.95 gb's ! I still need to sort thru and delete the bad ones.

Yeah, i'm quite used to round swords, completely kosher. Keep up the good work.

by **Winfang** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 6:13 pm

Eh, I don't care for the term round blade/sword. Swords and blades have a cutting edge and there is a lack of that on these weapons. The standard foam sword reflects that. While you might not classify the weapons as a club, I wouldn't classify it as a sword either. A baton is more appropriate. It's definitely a design that reflects the sport aspect of our game though.

by **Slagar** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 6:33 pm

It's a lightsaber. End of discussion.

by **Derian** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 7:55 pm
