I've decided to do a little poll here. The question is...what weapon do you most dislike facing in the rings? Keep in mind two things: 1. This does not mean, disliking it cause you find it silly or ridiculous. It means disliking to face it-or relishing the challenge of facing it-because you find it difficult to duel against, such as it may have certain advantages over your weapon. 2. This can be both a particular duelist's weapon, or a type of
weapon period. I'll even start it off....for myself, I have trouble against any type of longsword, the difference in reach between that and a gladius being very hard to overcome. In particular, probably Seamus's claymore. Then again, I'd say Seamus is one of my toughest opponents ever.

Only weapon I ever worried about was da Sceptur of Baphelocutis. Gotta hate weapons bigger dan ya are. Not ta mention it was wielded by a twelve foot draconian, sure does suck when ya get hit and blockin' was a bitch.

The only weapons I hate to face are, oddly enough, knives of any sort when two are used. For some reason I just seem to have terrible difficulties warding off double cuts or thrusts from two different directions. I'd even rather face Chaos.... ::draws a smiley face::

Oh no? You have been reduced to using someone else's? That must be very difficult for the women.

Some things Skyler me lad, simply should not be disowned, e'en if it's not quite a sword.

Aye, indeed, Skyler...

I'm sure many a woman has run screaming from your "weapon". Screaming and howling in laughter of course.

Kisses,

Back on the subject...tis a toss up between the Axe and Mace. Either one will turn my dueling staff to toothpicks with one well placed blow.

Staves. There is something about a wall made of a twirling piece of solid wood that I find intimidating.
