Nice links and it's quite interesting to read peoples reasons for fighting.

Looks like the club's finally starting to come alive. And I hope we get a few new members soon. I think another thing I'm interested in is your preferred choice of weaponry to get the job done. Whether it be a sport or for your acts of vigilantism if that applies to you.

My favourites are my baseball bats WHAM! a stainless steel bat, splinters, my old wooden bat, my baur Crossfire hockey stick "ol' trusty" and my leather fingerless gloves concealing a few plain circular rings.

I only use bladed weapons if I feel the need. I prefer not to. Knockout's are better for my mental health than to slit someone up I believe.

Why Wouldn't the club stay alive??? LOL!!! It's doing Ok i think. Not too much chit chat about random stuff or spammy posts. That's good.

About my preferred choice of weaponry, well, as you can tell by my gifts, i Love swords. The thing is that in a streetfight, tou can't just take out yer sword & slash them frackers to pieces...You just can't. ( dammit ! )

I like big swords, the bigger the better, but since using one isn't an option, i'd like to use a baseball bat like you. I like steel bats, but i think that wooden ones are more trustworthy. Maybe i'm wrong. I also like those long poles, iron or wooden that you can easily find in the street. You can hit from a distance & hit hard too. If you take into account that most thugs & drugaddicts cannot fight with weapons, it's an easy thing to do.

Once, an old friend of mine picked a fight with some gypsy kids ( i hate them )
in Sparta. It was 5 against 1, but he found a metal wire laying somewhere on the ground & using it like a whip, he kicked their asses into the future....A whip would be good in a situation like that one.

Furthermore, when playing dirty, those ironfists or rings or whatever they are called that fit on the fists around the fingers are extremelly effective. A single punch packs a wallop, can break a tooth or two. Other than that, reinforced leather gloves are good for fighting, the fists don't hurt that much & they cause some serious damage.

Well if everyone's saying what weapon they prefer, I got a few.

I'm good with just my fists. I stopped baseball bats and other things by pushing them to the side or intercepting them while unarmed. I'm very quick to the draw, so to speak.

If I had a preferenced weapon I could go all out with, it would be a medium to long length sword, one that's adaptable to different styles. I can switch from different fighting styles on the fly; Rapier style, to Chinese Short Sword, to British Long Blade, to an Indian Scimitar style..., I'm good with a lot of unique styles.

I'm good with a spear/halbard, too. When I'm practicing, I use a weight on the spear head and swing it quicker then I usually would. It's harder but worth it in the end.

A sceith is a good weapon. Quick, and if someone gets too far, you can drag them back in.

Throwing knives are good for long range, but I'm more of a sniper/rifle shooter. I practice when ever I can.

If I'm going non-liethal, then a practice weapon or substitue, like a pole or stick that's available, will do. Most people run when they see how quickly I can get around their defences, and others that run don't, get their asses kicked.

Sure you can mate. We welcome everyone. Just try to keep the content of your posts at least a couple words longer. Welcome aboard, Voxen16.

Drake buddy, you were kidding about the non nonlethal damage causing weapons, right? :gulp:
Violence is one thing...

CLOUD · 05-21-2007, 07:03 AM

Welcome to the Fighter's Guild Voxen16. Celtic's right, you don't want a warning so soon, actually, you don't want a warning at all. Anyways, you're new, so it's fine. No worries.

Sooooo, now that you're in the club, you should start off well eith a good fighting story, long or short, it doesn't matter. I think the rest of the gang is looking for it too.

About being lethal with weapons, gimme a Zangetsu & let the rampage begin!!! Other than that, breaking a bone is no big deal & non lethal too...

Voxen16 · 05-21-2007, 03:19 PM

Thank you, about the fighting story.. do you mean the back ground of my fighting style? I'm a lancer, you know with a spear and sheild. Like a soldier, i fight in large ranged battles with realistic conflicts with others. I hope one day to become a dragoon, and i stand along side that ray of hope. Glad to be a member. (i think i got in a little trouble with ya cloudy, for tripleposting. Sorry about that, i didnt know what i was doing, but i fixed it now.) And whats with the lethal weopons and such?

CLOUD · 05-21-2007, 03:28 PM

Well, when it comes to fighting stories, we usually share our experiences in brawls & stuff. We explain the reasons we fight for, call it sporting activity, vigilantism or anything that's not pure bullying over the extremelly weak.

Read some of our older stories & you'll see.

About the weapons, we're currently discussing what our fav weapons in combat are. Since you're a lancer, you must really get along with spears.....that's awesome. And about me, lol, no trouble; i just though i should give you a friendly reminder.

I'm a practice fighter on the side. I do trainings and such when I have the time. I can do demonstrations at times, like a full sword dance, switching from different styles as I go. I spar with friends when I can with practice weapons, like wooden poles or metal bars. It's mostly just for fun though.

I generally have non-lethal weapons like a short, blunt pole, like a broom handle, close to where I work at, just in case.

I'm not like some people who keep real deadly weapons in their cars or on their persons and such. My friends dad use to keep a spiked head and chain flail in the trunk of his car,
BUT I'd say that's over kill.

Oh yea, something interesting I just remembered, back when I was in high school, about half the students carried some sort of weapon with them everyday. Not me of course; I use words or if all else fails, my fist to do the talking. That's probably why my arms and body are all scarred up.

Hey guys, lemme tell you what happened today...

I was at college. in class. Then my cell ringed & it was my pal Panagiotis asking me if i wanna go out for coffee with the rest of the crew. I had 6 hours, i did 3 & went. It was him, me & another pal, Koulis. We went to a square near Koulis' place. We sat in a "kagourocaffeteria", which is a rally point for all trendy boys & slutty girls.

We usually don't go to those places, but one of them insisted, so what the hell, we went.

There, sitting in the next table, there were some kagouria & some sluts. There was this tall guy we had seen in a party some months ago & among the rest, a dude with funny hair.

As usual, we started making fun of him without being loud. The thing is that we were sorta staring at his hair & he noticed, or someone from their table told him. Anyways, he came to our table & asked us what was going on, why we were looking at him all the time & shit like that.

Since my folks aren't into fighting, i told him that we always look at people that much, that nothing was going on & stuff...The tall guy came with him too, bodyguardishly-like. My pal Pete asked the tall guy if he was in that party we were invited as well, he said he was & like that things chilled quickly.

My other friend Koulis is also tall, much taller than me, but as i said, he doesn't fight. Well, we didin't do anything there.

But i made my mind. Whenever i see my friends again, i'll make them take an oath. That whenever someone approaches us like that, being a bully & all, we aren't holding back. I won't hold back probably, but man, i can't be outnumbered 1 to 5 or more. I'll need backup. So se will all swear that next time, it's fighting time. Imean, FIGHTING time. My friend Savvas will say that's bullshit, but, dammit, we're Spartans; we can't be like that.

I'm planning to go to that cafeteria again soone enough & stare at the dude again. If he does ask me again what the matter is, i'll tell him: "Hey, your hair is funny. Mine is funny too, but yours is ****ing hilarious...". Let the dogs out!!! *woof, woof, woof, WOOF*

I don't know what their reaction towards this will be, but as for me, i'lm solid in my opinion. So, i swear to you, My Guild bretheren, that i Will fight when this occasion rises. No holding back. I promise to you that i'll fight anyone who messes with me & come back here to talk about it. Otherwise, fellas like those will thing that we are chicken, which we aren't.

heh heh

Well I certainly don't like needless fights, but hell, some people sure are annoying enough.

And it's good to hear your mates are behind you. I tend to be alone or only have a mate or two. As for being outnumbered, I'm sure you wouldn't need to worry. You know what they say cloudy, "Quality over quantity". And if he's a trendy boy as you say...

Well I'm sure you'd have no worries...

Personally, I hate being aggresive against people like that, they're all talk. But yeah, if they keep going on...

Fights around my end are sucking more and more. Just a few skirmishes which'll only get my clothes a little torn or something at most. Where did all the real fighter's go? Now it only seems to be tryhards and wannabe gangstas. *sigh*...

I almost miss the good fights locally.

I don't like needless fights either, that's why i didn't say anything then & we didn't get kicked out of the place (it was rainig too..)

The thing is that they might have thought we are cowards & wanted to play "bully the bullies" to seem cool to the gals in their table. Well, if someone is to seem cool in front of the girls, that shouldn't be them. And as long as they manage to piss me off, the quantity doesn't really matter. I could easily KO them with a punch each. Maybe two, it depends on the arm, the angle, the air density & stuff.

I also think that kind is all talk, but here, many of them frookers have daggers on them & i only had my keys (with the long keychain on them- at least 1kg).

My friend now wants me to make him a wooden mace 'bout 35cm or so. I have figures the shape and the wood i'm gonna use to make it. One for me & one for him. Since they aren't that deadly, it's gonna be fine to fight with those. I'll post pictures for you to see them; i'll fix 'em good when i go back to Sparta where i have tools.

You know what they say:

No Retreat, No surrender,
That Is Spartan Law

Draken Benvolaid · 05-25-2007, 01:41 AM

Heh, Not bad Cloudy.

I got into an almost fight a few days ago.

I was leaving work with some others from the office, when some drunkard, no offense Celt, starts yammering on about something. We just ignored him until we got closer to the parkinglot.

All of a sudden, he starts chucking beer bottles at us. One hits someone's car, one hits the ground, and the other hits me in the face, and shatters on impact. I was all cut up and bleeding. But I gladly took the hit, to protect the others behind me.

Before he could chuck another one, 3 bouncers from a local bar come running around a corner and tackle him.

I'm fine now, but I think he really wanted a his ass kicked, and I'm glad someone gave it to him. The wounds are gonna scar, though.

Silver · 05-25-2007, 01:49 AM

No offense taken Drake.

Booze can be really bad for some people...
If it affects them that way, it's irresponsible and wrong for them to drink it. As some say here "Everyone likes a happy drunk, none an angry drunk".

As for the scar, that brings up another question, what antiscarring products do you use? I'm down to just avocado oil at the moment, but I've tried a few commercial products, most with very little success.
