I refuse to give him the satisfaction of ever besting me again. I don't see in your story where he bested you a first time. Oh after my arms turned to rubber from woodsplitting him for 5 mins he lept forward and smacked me in the grill. I will ammend my story. I figured that something like that hap...

I refuse to give him the satisfaction of ever besting me again. I don't see in your story where he bested you a first time. My two douchiest moments that come to mind are once in a melee, holding a small footbridge, I took a spear to the ankle. It didn't hurt me in any way but it pissed me off and ...

The way we do things is conceptually a game about REPUTATION alone, but it's become the cool and manly thing to simply not give a shit what anyone else thinks about your decisions and motives. This lack of accountability makes what we do look really, really retardo-nuts. In other words, we are movi...

A lot of impotent sabre rattling from the Teuton invaders. Prince Alexander Nevsky left you crippled in defeat that cold April day on the lake and it will happen again in February. It's no secret that your surcoats are white, not to show purity but because you want to ensure that each member of the ...

I disagree with you Aaron. I have paid up front for things and have done fine by it. There are a lot of people who haven't fared as well in doing it. Customers aren't the only flakes out there.

Cracked? If people are striking that hard to your groin, maybe you should consider being a better person.. maybe take the first nutshot.. You might have a point, I get hit there a lot.

Depending on how quick/agile you are, when sword dude closes on you, back up quickly. Drag the base of the haft behind you which will give him something to think about tripping over while he tries to close. If going backwards quickly isn't an option, do what I do. Go into a high guard with the pole....
