Indeed, it's good. It reminds me of the FMA anime, one of my favs, so..

Good thinking on the ranks & about it sounding militaristic, don't worry about it. It's a Fighter's Guild anyway.

Way to go dudes.

Like I said, my clan uses that type of ranking as a "who is better then the rest" sort of thing, as well as the leaders of squads. It's useful in tight situations, such as ambushes, assults, and aviational flight patterns.

We use it especially during local tournaments, although we go with lower rankings during such things. Like squad leaders, are refered to as the Captain, and so on and so forth.

Interesting note for you, Cloudy, my First Lieutenant's name is RS_Hawkeye. Yep, Lt. Hawkeye's our best Halo 2 Player, close, short, and mid range. I have him beat in Long range though. I need to rag on him later.

I guess we could incorporate video game violence into our club as well. It is fighting of a sort.......
Not true fighting, but it'll give us something else to yap about. What do you guys think?

Well how about specific kinds, like unusual Halo Deaths, or Virtual Fighter 5 kills?

Anyway, I got a good one.

I was walking through an alleyway to my car down a city street, when I see an older asian guy getting the shit beat out of him by some teens, 18 or 19 at least. I think they were robbing him, cuz a large box of cigerette cartons, was under one guy's arm. In the US, it was probably worth about $2000-3000.

They keep wailing on him with bats and hunks of wood. He was full of splinters, and bleeding on the ground.

There were some broken warehouse pallets next to me, probably where the thugs got their weapons. I yanked one off, a 1-by-2, and crep up behind one of the thugs, tapped him on the shoulder. When he turned around, I hit him hard in the stomic, long ways with the board. He fell over gasping for air.

The other two then turned their attention to me. One of them came at me with a diagonal cross chop; I side stepped it and hit him in the head with the flat side of my board, breaking it. He fell over dazed.

The third one had a bat, most likely more skilled than the others, but still not a match for me. He swung the bat down vertically, but stopped as soon as I side stepped his attack. Bringing the weapon in a now high, left to right, horizontal maner, he attemped knock me in the chest. I leaned back, just missing the bat, and grabbed it with my left arm, then grabbed him with my other hand. I hoisted him up and threw him into a pile of trash cans 10 feet away.

Seeing that the others got back up, dropping the box of cigerettes, grabbed their friend, now covered in trash, and ran down the alleyway.

I helped the store clerk up and into his store. I handed him some paper towels to try to wipe the blood off his face, and asked if I should call the police. He said, "No it wasn't necessary. they probably wont be back again."

He gave me a carton of cigerettes for the box, even though I told him I didn't need a reward. Unwillingly, I accepted it, although I don't even smoke, so I gave them to my brother-in-law.

A common crime, turned out for the better.

I knew you were a gangbreaker, Draken Benvolaid.

When I get that feeling, I'm usually right. While not that good a story, I've found that those fold up hiking poles can make a great weapon, easily hideable. Ya gotta get a strong one though or they break on you way too easily. If I'm expecting trouble for whatever reason, I make sure to stick one up the sleeve of my jacket. Being prepared is just another way of staying happy. XD

Man,this is great...no better thing than ambushing the thugs or getting the fight without their knowing. You're cool.

About the hiking poles; yes, i have to admit that they're practical. Personally, i think that iron bat or some long & heavy wooden club are the best. *bang* and the brains are flowing down the driveway.

As for the quote of the day: "Being prepared is just another way of staying happy. XD" Right on!!!

And if you wanna incorporate video game violence, even if it's sorta vague, i'm in.

Although with the videogame violence, I think we should limit to funny stories or great achievements only. Otherwise it might choke the club up.

Actually, I left at around 6pm yesterday. My time . Why? Some guys from the next suburb over decided they'd cause a little trouble. You know breaking street signs, grafittiing and all that crap. Geeze that crap's pointless. It just pisses people off. Anyway, when I saw a street sign taken out, some of my mates looking a little battered and some property damage, I though to myself, screw it, it might be wrong, but these dickheads are gonna pay. (I have a short fuse at times, most often when things I care about are messed with). What did I do? I picked up the street sign, rammed it into the jaw of the nearest guy, concrete side first, then when I saw two more coming, I rotated the pole, whilst ducking, effectively tripping both of them and injuring their ankles. The last guy? Well I decided as he was the last one still standing, I didn't need the street sign anymore so I chucked it at him and down he went. Good Times.....

Trouble was I got a bit of a gash when rotating the street sign, the bit with the street name got me, and I had to be patched up, so I couldn't come back on 'til today. As for it being after the middle of the afternoon, well I was busy with some other stuff this morning.

I don't know Australian law, but over here in the States, that'd be the crime of assault and battery. Vigilantism doesn't have strong support over here. "Let the police handle it," is what us Americans tend to think.

And since I see this club becoming more general and unrestricting the creative control of my posts, I might withdraw my decision to not join this club.

I've shared all the real-life fights I've been part of in my previous post. I do however, have some awesome videogame fighting.

I guarantee these videos to be at least the most awesome things you will watch all day.

(Click Watch This Movie, then I suggest you go to scene selection and start at scene 2, Street Fight.)


We must be especially careful not to make this thread more violence oriented than fighting oriented. Careful wording might be needed.

That's true. Here in Greece it's the same. But with our police....forget it. Those people are just useless. They're so bored that they won't even bother.

It might not be the best solution to go over there & start beating the crap out of them, but whenever someone's acting like that, the least you can do is tell them "WTF are you doing there you scum?!?!?" I have noticed that many people may wanna seem tough & stuff, but when things get messy,they'll just chicken & flee.

I was in the subway, on the electric stairs. There, if you don't wanna walk, you're obliged to stay on the right side. Once, there was this dude who was standing to the left side & i was behind them. Many people do that & i don't normally speak if they're elderly & stuff, but the guy wasn't more than 25.

So i say to him :"So? What's it gonna be? Are we going to be standing here for long, we'll grow roots. Move to the right side. Now."
And he's all: What do you want now mate? If i punch you in the face, i'll see if you continue talking..."
But when i tell him to get over with it outside {come on, NOW!!!} he started the common stuff like : "NO, i don't have time to deal with you, i have better things to do."

What i have understood is that they're all talk. When a good brawl is ahead, the'll flee like wet cats.

About the videos, they're awesome. I wanted Ryu to kill Scorpion, but it works for me.

Same situation. Illegal and all, if the cops catch you you're in for it, but they couldn't give a damn about vandalism and stuff they don't see. Which is an awful lot.

As for the whole assault thing, if I see something as justifiable, I'll do it. The jails here have both TVs and computers, with decent food and a good amount of space compared to what I'm used to.

I'm okay with my actions, unless I start something. I see that as 'not okay'. Rasler the videos were cool, but I'm a little unclear as to whether you actually want to join or not. You're welcome here if you want to be.

Just call me Drake for short.

I'm in the US too, and it varies from state to state, and cop to cop. If you have witnesses and a buyable story, they'll let you go after a day or so if not sooner.

RS_Hawkeye was telling me about this one guy in his collage class last Friday.

After work the guy, I don't know his name, was walking to his car, and saw two thugs holding a teenage girl up by her neck on the hood of his car. So he walks over to his trunk and pulls out a tire iron. Like me, he snuck up next to one of them and hits them on the back of the head, and then immediately hits the other in the forehead, giving them concussions.

The police came and he was arrested, but the girl that the thugs were strangling, vouched for him saying that they were trying to rape her. He only got one night in jail and is getting out today, I think. The thugs on the other hand, are hospitalized for head injuries.

It seems that were not alone in the world.

Certainly not.

I know many from all kinds of places. And they all have their own reasons, some good others bad. I try to be as neutral as possible, but some things such as my mates and property getting damaged really piss me off. I go straight from my usually over happy self to a right angry bugger. Sad thing is, I tend to get injured more in that state as I'm not thinking clearly.....

Hope the guy gets off, it was for a good cause.

Love the banner cloudy....

And FF themed too. Good Job.
