Nice! I love swords, they're so cool. I'd have a sword collection if they were so darn expensive! XD

Titan_Candleburst 2021-07-21 21:23:16 UTC #6799

I'd have one if I had the time.

They are sooo cool. Have you ever, say... drawn a sword that is a historical artifact?

Jones_Elderview 2021-07-21 21:24:55 UTC #6800

Mhm, my grandfather has one, from the Civil War I think. Don't think I've held it before, I haven't been there in a few years and when I did/when he actually let people see it I wasn't old enough to hold it.

Titan_Candleburst 2021-07-21 21:27:00 UTC #6801

Cool. I saw one too, one time. Can't remember when it's from. I have to go though, so I'll see you some other time. Cya dude!

Eyyy! -fist bumps-

Out of all those illustrious blades, only one is used for fencing and that is the rapier. Even then, modern fencing uses fencing foils which can't do much damage.

Titan_Candleburst 2021-07-21 23:45:34 UTC #6804

Indeed, though it would do some good to fencing if you were able to have your own swords, possibly with a better guard then a hollow half-sphere?

-shrugs-

It is just my own thoughts. They contain much on swords.

Look up the Austin Historical Weapons Guild online. They teach sword and dagger fighting using genuine medieval manuscripts written about fighting techniques. It's probably the best way to learn how to properly wield your swords apart from building a time machine and finding an ancient master.

Another thing to note is that fencing foils are much thinner and more pliable than proper rapiers. Fencing with rapiers is rather different from fencing with foils.

You DO use your own sword, and it's not a half sphere, but idk how to describe it. It's more of a full hand guard, for lack of better word.

Titan_Candleburst 2021-07-21 23:57:41 UTC #6807

But if I were to bring a broadsword, I would not be able to use it.

Indeed.

Thank you, I will look at that as soon as possible.

well... no. One of the two (French or Dutch braids) is inside the braid and the other one is outside the braid. It's complicated but I'll have to show you the difference some day.

Jones_Elderview 2021-07-22 13:58:40 UTC #6809

Okay, I know what a French braid looks like, and my sisters tell me they're painful...Probably. XD Okay, sure.

James_Maxfeather 2021-07-22 14:52:17 UTC #6810

really? they're soo nice! they get your hair off the back of your neck XD

(sorry for the not really double post because the last one was over an hour ago)

Hm, through all of technology and text, I can't tell whether or not you're sarcastic... Should we burn them down to make you feel better, Iliara? I'd be more than willing to do so

BURN THE FORUMS

_{_{_{_{No I'm kidding don't ya'll are some of my only friendsss}}}}

Beckendorf_Direscope 2021-07-23 03:26:42 UTC #6814

All the posts between the two linked.

Iliara_Mustardtop 2021-07-23 03:29:13 UTC #6815

Oh you have no idea. I’ve joked about personally burning down this forum and everything in it multiple times.

…definitely just as a joke.

Definitely.

Titan_Candleburst 2021-07-23 03:33:14 UTC #6816

Oh really? I had no idea.

(also I'm on to you, it was in no way a joke... was it -.-)

Jones_Elderview 2021-07-23 03:33:31 UTC #6817

Definitely not scared of you.

Definitely.
