New Maybe next time
if we both get good jobs that allow us to take a vaction to the next war, I will see you there.

Bamboo wrapped up in duct tape? Nasty! I'll have to consider using that if I ever get into those games.

Wack wack wack wack, get out some agression and get in some exercise.

New Worse than 'just' bamboo.
Bamboo implies a hollow, light material. Rattan is solid - we use it instead of other woods because it's resistant to splintering and breakage. Add to the rattan the weight of thrusting tips, tape, cross (or basket) hilts and you can think a sword as being about the size and weight of a softball bat. Without armor, these weapons are literally deadly. WITH armor, it's not unusual to accumulate some nasty bruises.

It's not as bad as it sounds, though. It is truly one of the most fun activities I've yet encountered... And it IS an excellent way to work out agression!

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.
