[QUOTE=Erenor]That's true. Damn old school trench warfare was almost as retarded as the American Revolution ( I don't know what you guys call it). Lines of Americans and British soldiers standing in a row, standing up, and taking turns firing volleys of iron at eachother. You'd think somebody would have learned to duck a lot sooner.[/QUOTE]

yeah, but when those tactics were first developed, firearms were so inaccurate that the only way you could be reasonably sure of hitting something was to stand in those formations, fire a volley, and hope you thinkned the ranks enough to make a difference when you closed to close quarters fighting.Which is why you had such high casualty rates in the american Civil War once the technology lept ahead of the tactics and enable soldiers to fire accurate weapons and lay waste to an advancing foe before they got close enough to do any damage.

Swords are far superior to guns IMO. You can FEEL the kill. Not just witness it. If you hack into someone, everyone you see later that knows so. You end up covered in whatever was inside the poor idjit. Mmm...drunk and sadistic. Must imbibe more alkyhol. :p

Hopefully, that would be a blunted sword, that makes a nice, ragged wound, right?

I miss the days of clubs myself :D

Having never lopped someones head off with a claymore, or battered someone to death with a club. I honestly can't comment.

What happened to the elegance and grace of bows and arrows eh ;) . Or the masterful strokes of a martial art.

Surely, one can only miss what they've experienced? You're not some kind of pan-dimensional liquid beast come to suck out our brains are you?

I've always wanted to learn Kendo. Wandering through town with a beautifully made katana on your back would be friggin' sweet! Cut your precious pistol in half with my masterfully forged sword. Mmm...swords. I'd like to see someone try and jump with with a 4' long piece of razor sharp steel in his face. That'd be funnier than elmer fudd "loving" a pig, dontcha think? :p

Hopefully you fared better than I did though. While I have a vast wealth of experience, it seems I was entrusted with the folly of the ancients instead of the wisdom :o

Dry hump the ancients and demand their wisdom in exchange for allowing them to run free. Worked for me. :o

@ Demo, you could make me wondrously happy and cut that little twerp to pieces and then no more lying idjit to confuse my girl who cant remember the past 7 months of her life. Pwetty pwetty pwease?

Shotgun weddings...at least you were forced to sleep with the girl when they pulled a gun on you. Last time a daddy pulled a weapon me he told me to stay away from his daughter. We desecrated his dinner table while mommy and daddy were working, but, they're slow people and don't know that. Wax on, wax off, or some such nonsense. Just put a towel down first, soaks everything up and such. :o

Collars are FUN. Makes it so you don't have to pull their hair from behind. ;)

The guy who's pretending I never existed with my ex who's got amnesia and pretending that they were more than friends and co-workers and are now bf/gf that she doesn't recall me. I'd prefer sharp, stabbing pain, with debilitating blood loss, along with puncture wounds and burns if possible. A little intern bleeding around the facial features and lacking of sexual organ's would make me giggle and smile at the moment as well.

Isn't that where you just let water drip on somebody for long periods of time until they go insane? Personally, I'd start with the easy stuff like burning their flesh off, followed by some hacking and cutting before ripping their body apart with four horses. Does this guy deserve it? Probably.
