Rules, Conventions, and Groin Targeting

Won't let you? You took me down with a full on open field tackle one time that I recall. And I still killed you. :twisted:

Do you suppose you could not bring it up everyplace, all of the time ?

It's seriously coloring my impression of you and I doubt I'm alone.

Why?

Balin

PS there are several thread i am on that i have not brought up CA. FYI[/quote]

Why?

For one, because it's boring as hell to hear the same argument time and again and it makes me wonder if the person speaking doesn't have anything else to say, or is just obsessed.

For another, it's combative. It goes beyond being a discussion and into you coming across as trying to just beat down any opposing viewpoint. That is just rude.

I came into a discussion about shots to the groin, and along comes Balin and goes trying to twist it into an argument against CA. I generally try to stay out of the CA threads, because people have run out of arguments years ago and are just throwing the same shit back and forth, with the result that the zealots on both sides are covered and anyone caught in between gets plastered too :sad:

Both because I tripped over they guy who you just killed.

Really, Nissan. You're so messy, leaving your victims lying around like that. You should learn to stack them neatly, like cordwood.

I do not deliberately throw cup shots. I will expect the oponent to take it if I happen to hit it a telling blow and will take a shot there likewise.

I've been at wars where the other side was deliberately targeting cups. It was actually a WAT war. I think our King had words with theirs and it stopped.

Worst cup shot story I've ever heard was a fighter who was hit in the cup and took, no follin', 20 minutes to get his breath back. He then looked at the oponent and told him "light". :roll:

You could, you know, ask how I _FEEL_ about that, rather than assuming, but that would be silly now, wouldn't it?

I didn't address whether CA people were dicks or not. I addressed whether targeting cups is.....

Yes you did. You said "You can consider the folks who shoot arrows dicks all you want. I don't."

Come on man.

No, YOU come on.

I said I don't consider CA's dicks.

READ AND CALM DOWN.

"I didn't address whether CA people were dicks or not."

"I said I don't consider CA's dicks."

Like I don't give a sh#t what your take is on it really but stop contradicting yourself and getting angry about it being pointd out to you.

Maeryk · Post by **Maeryk** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 1:54 pm

I'm not angry.

I'm just tired of arguing with people who cannot follow a conversational flow.

Like you.

The response was based on your utterly bullshit statement that I don't care about women and children and cripples and blind people and your goddamned feelings.

Which was never addressed or brought up before that post.

the discussion was about whether I consider people who intentionally cupshot to be dicks. I do. And I said WHY.

I never went into why I don't consider CA people to be dicks. Which was my point.

Yes, I realize you DON'T LIKE CA.

So take your happy ass and stick to tournament fighting where you belong, and let the people who are willing to have fun have fun, and you can sit on the sidelines and act all butthurt and cry.

Apple is clearly superior.

I apply algebraic notations that prove apple is superior to key lime.

Key lime is good, though, as this other set of algebraic notations proves.

And one does not need groin protection to eat pie.

Maeryk · Post by **Maeryk** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 2:41 pm

Well, that A) depends on how you hold the pie, how voraciously you eat, the situation in which the pie is being eaten and.. HEY! How bout people who don't like certain threads JUST DON'T EFFIN READ EM instead of this stupid "Pie/CHair/Wrestler" crap?

The apple's superiority dates back to ancient times when the greeks themselves told takes of the golden fruit and great contests were held with an apple of gold as the prize. Nobody ever wrote shit about limes.

Ah but they did. I just don't know how you could put a boundary between two fields into a soft flaky crust.

Limes: frontier zone of the Roman empire.
The Latin word limes originally was an expression used by land surveyors and indicated the boundary between two fields, for example the path between two meadows. Several ancient authors, however, use the expression to describe the outer frontiers of the Roman empire. Modern scholars use the word in an even wider sense to describe several aspects of the imperial system of defense, which includes tactical and strategic aspects, the diplomatic and military means, fortifications, economic means, religion, and so on.

Rhubarb, plain rhubarb, not the strawberry-rhubarb concoction that was created in some unholy kitchen, is the _only_ pie truly worthy of kings!

Damn.

By the time I got here, the original topic was irrelevent.

But I'll make my statement anyway.

In Atlantia, we teach that the neck, insides of the elbows, and groin are legal target areas but not to be deliberately targeted. Thus, if a blow lands on one of those areas it's a legal blow, but someone who has a tendency to hit one of those areas more than occasionally is likely to receive counselling from a marshal.

And cherry is the best pie flavour. Especially if it's combined with apple.

Not sure if it _Was_ a law, or still is, in the East, but every fighter I've trained (and everyone who ever trained me) said "Yeah, targeting those spots.. don't do it. It's a dick move, and pisses people off, it's unchivalrous, and someone will break you or pull you off the field if you keep it up".

And I've never had that teaching fail me.

If intentionally targeting the groin is the only way to beat someone, then I guess I'll lose. I don't need to try to cause real injury to a fellow fighter to win a fight that won't matter 5 minutes later.

If the only way someone can get me to take a blow is to whack my groin, I hope they will find a more polite way of explaining the problem, like shouting "Quit being a fuckin' rhino!!!" at me.

I would NEVER deliberately throw ANY shot at neck or throat! I want all of my friends to GET UP and WALK off the field!
