pretend you are a couple hundred years back. a medieval selection. have at it!


just please keep the fun poking remarks to a minimum, and try to stay on topic. thanks. and if your weapon of choice is a slight variation of one of the options, just pick it and post the difference.

As I consulted with Timepagan eariler...My choice on foot would be a large, double edged, two handed axe...old school.(About 9th century old school)

If I was on a horse..a spear or a sword.

for Actually weaponary, Gimme a Katana annnny day, I love em! sooooo light and quick to use!

__________________

cool thread btw. I as well would like a double sided axe. in all reality i m sure a sword would be more usefull but an axe is way cooler. especially when you conntect with a good solid hit. haha it would all be over with such massive devistation. so yeah, axe.

i posted whip. just cuz whips rule.

but i wish i could vote again cuz i love swords as well.

__________________

i picked sword, probably through convenience. but if i were a huge, strong guy, i think it would be awesome to use a very heavy, spiked ball and chain mace! like the one on Return of the King, when the witch king guy is off the nazgul and has that utterly awesome chain mace. damn that thing is brutal. bows are always cool too. but my favorite weapon, by looks, is actually the pick (pickhammer), heh. i just think they look really cool.

plastic fork.

None of the above. I would use a club adorned with the razor sharp, frostbitten incisors of northern moonforest wolves. Grim.

you can always pick the club and add whatever you like.

@lowtech: uh, i dont know what to say.

hahaha


i cant decide between bow or axe.
my favorite drunk weapon is a small battle axe, with which i vanquished many a snowman and bike tire, and the occasional piece of bark
with this in mind, i pick a battleaxe.

Not enough options.

For general purposes something nice and light would do. I'd choose a late 14 c. longsword. No one wears armour nowadays anyway. An 1845 British infantry sword would work well too.

For fighting against someone in armour, I would go for an early 16th c. Swiss halberd, should there be enough space to fight. Failing that, some sort of flanged mace would be good.

I'd always keep a Rondel dagger at my right side as well, sort of like a back-up weapon. And to those who've said "double edged battle axe", those only exist in fantasy worlds. Pick something which wouldn't get you killed.

Somebody has to get killed for a stupid reason.

yeah? sorry, i tried to keep it pretty general... as with the "various" swords. i did forget dagger though. but in all fairness there is a max number of poll options, and that is 10. ive not heard of a halberd, whats that anyway?

its like a spear with a sharp upwards curved blade at the end.

__________________

A halberd is a polearm. A polearm is basically a weapon on a long wooden shaft. For example, an axe blade stuck on to a 4 foot shaft (or around that region) with a spear blade at the top, and a blunt force weapon on the other side of the axe, such as a spike or a hammer.

Oh...I guess I was taking my information from rpg's...

Scythe. Favourite weapon of all time, and it looks threatening in a more sophisticated way and utterly sexy, nevermind that it's not as practical as most other weapons

i would say katana as i have one and it cut my guitar

__________________

Haha,you know when you listen to too much pagan metal when.........

Oh,and I voted for a whip,because its the most useful thing in melee battle.

Ohh, it's opened, then it's closed, then it's opened. I must be a part of this thread, by far the largest metaltabs controversy ever...

Anyway, I voted club, not only because of their cheap cost, but also due to my hatred of baby seals

Mace!

That dude can really fuck up a head.

__________________

I think mine would be the whip. For the following reasons;

All the other weapons are more likely to kill the other guy with no pain at all (Unless you hit them in the more painful areas where the pain will last before they die). Plus, with a whip, I could coat it with a thin sheet of poison or something so when I would whip a guy and, hopefully draw blood, the poison would slowly weaken him. And, if I were skilled enough, I could use a whip to take weapons out of my enemy's hands.

__________________

that is difficult. I would probably say sword & board if it was on foot, and a lance or spear of sorts when on horseback. Or when on horseback and only fighting unarmoured infantry, I would go mounted archer

__________________

Well, well, this was a new one...

Axe seems most appropriate for me, since I'm currently sitting here with mine plus the fact that it is one of my prime weapon in battle - the battle for the womens hearts...

I would definitly go with the mace.

timedragon PM'd me, we had a discussion, he agreed not to act in the way that prompted me to close it in the first place, so I reopened it.

In that case...

I pick club, because I'm a large brute that likes to beat shit up with blunt objects.

Hahaha, my previous post wasn't a joke.

Apart from that, yes, it is.

A big fat double edged axe!!

lets all just agree that my katana is the best and can cut your whips and clubs in half

__________________

Yep. Scythe.

You can actually get upto a lot of shit with the scythe. Its got weight bias for large momentum swings and a long shaft so you can grip it nearly anywhere. I can actually use weapons like that well.

if it amuses you, call it a joke. i asked it in a serious manner, and am seriously curios as to which weapon you guys would prefer in a battle... something that was, and still is not a joke, except today there are different ways of fighting, and different weapons. i dont find medieval battles, or modern wars to be funny really.

YEAH! FUCK YEAH!

so i almost went into battle last night, i go to a seven eleven and on my way home at about midnight and i see two people arguing in the street. when i get to the door of my building i still can see the people and one of them starts to attack the other. i hear an obviously female voice come from the one being attacked,screaming bloody murder mind you, so its definately some dude kicking the shit out of his girlfriend.

so im like "what the fuck" i have to do something, this is totally fucked up and now im probably gonna get invoved in a bitter scrap with some madman-domestic-assault heavyweight campion of the world<both appeared tall and kinda chubby, the brutilizer a bit more>, but i have to do something.

all i had with me was a 2 litre of soda and a newspaper, so i ditch these and get my hoody off to approach the couple. im a bit scared there was more people because there is a van parked near them so i causiously sneak up from the parking lot and appear before them summoning all my keyboard warrior courage to confront this madness and low and behold.

they are thug gangster wanna be dykes........lesbians,both female, straight out a jerry springer re-run.

im a bit stunned from this revelation and they stop and look at me. i hesitate completely to say anything for a bit, too long basically, then finally saying, falling all over my words, that im gonna call the cops if they continue to fight in the streets. so i leave and they continue to battle and i realize i dont have a phone and the roomates with cellphones are asleep. but i came back out after going into my space dropping off my shit and they split so hopefully they rolled out and noone got seriously hurt. i dont know if i did the right thing. it all seemed like bad news if i got physically involved.

Wow, you might have gotten your ass kicked by girls!
"summoning all my keyboard warrior courage" that was priceless!!! Yes, you did the right thing. You defended your 'hood and let them know you'd call the cops. Even if it was a bluff so to speak they didn't know that.

You don't have a lot, but it's all that you've got
And you can turn it into more than it seems
Just give it a shot,
Fantasize every movement
And imagine every inch of your dream

No one said it had to be real
But it's gotta be something you can reach out and feel now
It ain't right, it ain't fair
Castles fall in the sand and we fade in the air
And cowards don't go to Valhalla.
Neither does anybody else.

Always make sure that your cross bow works properly. A friend had one that would slip and fire and he shot his garage accidently. That thing scared me.

Wow, he actually hit a garage? Uncanny... I hit a stable wall once, with an air gun, but that's probably as far as I can take it.

Sword, a big spiky sword. That explodes. But only when I throw it. Ya. A throwing sword of +2 Explosion.

That's pretty much the most accurate thing I've ever said in my life.



But seriously, (or not, I don't know..) I'd just go into battle wearing a suit of nails and sprint into people. God I'd get annoying.
