No, silly, it's not that I

No, silly, it's not that I needed a ride. My legs hurt too much. The coach is still making me run on the track like everyone else even though I have my shin splint problem.

Marcil Firestalker Woodsman's picture

Oh, ok.

Oh, ok.

lurker's picture

You're missing something,

You're missing something, Marcil. I can't fight. How many times do I have to tell you that?

The ride is not the issue, it's that I don't have a reason to go.

Fighter Practice

I don't know if I'll be able to make it out today, hopefully and probably yes. But, it all comes down to if I'm feeling good enough to go, my allergies are acting up really bad... Anyways hope you guys like my choice o' music.

G'night... this is about the time I go to bed, and I wake up from around 11:30am-5:30pm during the summer, depends if it's Saturday I go to bed at 6:00am and wake up at 11:30am, and on Thursdays I go to bed around this time (7:30am) and wake up around 5:00pm for Fighter Practice.

Hey Grellen, you should check out my profile while your on. Tell me what you think... it took me all night to put it together, cause I don't know how to do anything online. lol!

grellen's picture

WOW!

you are very strange and i thought the music on your profile is good not the dinsney

Marcil Firestalker Woodsman's picture

Wait what, you like the

Wait what, you like the Disney?.... But do you like my profile? I couldn't figure out how to put a layout/background on it all I got was those pics. I also didn't know what colour sheme I wanted for the text.

So, what time are you going

So, what time are you going Grellen?

Wait, what does your profile

Wait, what does your profile have to do with fighter practice, Your profile is awsome and I love the music. But keep it on a different blog.
I am working every Thursday so I can not go.

Music

Autostart music or video on your profile page is an excellent way to get stabbed in the junk.

Also, again, keep it out of the "Fighter Practice" thread. Myspace exists for a reason.

Fighter Practice cancelled,

Fighter Practice cancelled, due to weather... I want to go but my mom says I might get hit by *Lightning* whaa.. So yes it's cancelled.

Glenalth's picture

It is a park full of trees.

Probably a good plan anyway. We need some sort of indoor thing for when the weather turns bad even if it's just folks hanging out watching movies.

Marcil Firestalker Woodsman's picture

You have any ideas... When

You have any ideas... When I'm older, one of my lifes goals is to purchase an empty store, a fair sized one, and ill put well padded fake grass in so when the weather is bad we can have it there...I'll probably even put a name on it, I'm thinking Amtgard: Fighter Practice. Or Amtgard: For Rainy Days.

So Glenalth, I really wanted to make some of those kunai.

Kunai

I haven't got to doing the tutorial for the throwing daggers yet. Still working on another project that I thought I was going to finish last night.

Marcil, you ruined this

Marcil, you ruined this thread with you stupid self. We should ban you, cause your just so retarded. Dumbass!

Marcil Firestalker Woodsman's picture

Hey, that was uncalled for.

No, it was totally called

No, it was totally called for, you should really stop ruining all the forums with your stupidity.

My stupidity, look at the one

My stupidity, look at the one dissing me in public. You ought to be banned. And you know what else, I don't have to take this from you, I'm better then you for sure, so I'm just gonna stop talking to you, bye.

Gilrand Hansmar's picture

HA! I can get you wherever

HA! I can get you wherever you go, there is no stoping me from tearing you apart, Marcil. You are already involved, so there is no escaping.

WAR!

Gilrand Hansmar's picture

You think you can hide from

You think you can hide from me, I can hack your computer in a flash, and destroy everything you own! Ha Ha HA!

Tiwaz's picture

Ahem

Gilrand Hansmar? Wait what? Who are you?

as a side note this is the "Fighter Practice" thread keep your bs rabble out of here, take it to aim, take it to email, take it to PM's, make a separate thread that says Marcil sucks for all I care.

As a side note fighter practice was not canceled and considering you Marcil did not want the position GM of Warriors I'm not sure how you can expect to have authority on when fighter practice is. Since I was the only person with fighter credits that was willing to do it I got the position by default. However if anyone wants to have an election there is an all-thing Saturday and I'd be happy to announce an election for GM.

I have most of the people who show up to fighter practices numbers and vice versa, in the future if you believe fighter practice is canceled give me a call and I'll be happy to let you know whats going on (I typically sleep in on Thursdays but will return all calls when I wake up). As for being canceled due to weather there is a park 2 or so blocks east of the one we normally fight at that has an awning over a very large concrete area, leg on death would probably be required but practice would still be doable.

Tiwaz's picture

Back on topic

If people would like fighter practice to start earlier let me know (or let whoever wins the election Saturday know) I don't work Thursday's and it's summer break so most of the younger crowd doesn't have school.

Marcil Firestalker Woodsman's picture

That's the thanks I get for

That's the thanks I get for wishing you a Happy birthday... I feel ashamed for even caring.... But I'd be happy to inform my mom that I expect to go to every fighter practice in the future, even if the world is being sucked into a black whole on a Thursday. Only cause you mentioned the park with the awning.

Marcil Firestalker Woodsman's picture

I don't know about anyone

I don't know about anyone else but i'd like to start fighter practice at 1:00pm so it doesnt get so dark, for just the summer, but thats just me.

Marcil Firestalker Woodsman's picture

And I think that we should

And I think that we should also change the name from Fighter Practice to just Practice or something... So we can bring arrows and magic and such out to Practice.

lurker's picture

That's a retarded idea that

That's a retarded idea that has been shot down a plethora of times in the past. There is nothing stopping you from using arrows or there being a battlegame at fighter practice. The issue is that there are not typically enough people there who would want to do such a thing.

If you get 16 people at fighter practice, and they all randomly want to have a battlegame, then you are free to have a battlgame. It is still going to be "Fighter Practice", though, unless Tiwaz changes the name for some reason.

Tiwaz's picture

We typically max out with

We typically max out with about 6 people on a very good week at fighter practice. If we had more than 3-4 people then I could organize something a bit better than sparing and ditching. If you want to practice bow and arrow set up a target in your back yard, same goes for spell balls. Most of the time archers/scouts hit people while they're distracted and thus typically not moving. Anyone interested in talking about things can come tomorrow and we can all brainstorm.

I agree 100%, however if you

I agree 100%, however if you look up how to become a better sword fighter it says to practice every day using a Pell. Obviously fighting a real moving person is better, however until you're at a point where you can land a shot every time on a stationary target you still need practice with one. Most of the guides I've seen on fighting in general be it martial art or swordplay tell people to throw at least 100 shots a day. This translates very well into archery, shoot your bow at least 100 times a day every day until you're good enough you can hit your mark every shot. start the target at say 20 feet and move out further and further as you get better and better. Every Saturday we sit around for a good hour or two before an actual battle game gets rolling use that time to practice shooting noobs, its good for both of you.

Do I mind if you show up early and shoot the newbs before I get there? not at all.
Do I care if you make spell balls and practice throwing them?
why would I? however you can practice throwing in your back yard too.

The point is when I go to fighter practice I want to fight and if you've ever even remotely hung around me you know that means I don't want to run around (i.e. chase down an archer, run down a pole) I go to fighter practice to try out new combo's, work on my footwork and practice shots.

If you want to set up an archer practice or scout practice or whatever that would be awesome especially for Grellen. I doubt theres a GM of scouts at the moment mention you want the position and you'll be running scout practice...you could run it just before fighter practice. Perhaps you could talk to Alucard about getting 1/4 credit. I don't see why warriors are the only class that get a practice and I'd definitely vote to allow other class options for the 1/4 credit. People who play barbarian that show up fighter practice should be able to get credits...so should anti/pali's.

Talk to me more at the park I suppose.

The man speeks words of

The man speeks words of poetry, music to my ears, and good music at that, bravo, great ideas.

I'd like to put up a target in my yard but its only 20'x11.3'.

I't's been one of my dreams for myself to hold a scout practice, but see if it's for grellen, scout is much different then archer, you get a load of different abillities .

Scout- 4 lives, throwing weapons, shield, start with 2 point arrows till you use a longbow = 4 point arrows, small shield, up to 3 points of armor.
Skills-
1st: Heal-1/life
2nd: Innate Ability:
a. Stun Arrow 1/reusable
b. Flame Arrow 1/reusable
3rd: Antidote to Poison-1/life, Truth-1/life, Camouflage-1/game
4th: Immunity to Traps, Tracking-1/life
5th: Earth Bind-2/game
6th: Tracking-2/life, you can use a longbow instead of a short bow
Attuned-2/game (may use two enchantments instead of 1, may not be combined with stack).

If im out there I go with a small portable shield to block arrows and or use it on a person trying to rush me, if they can get that close, ill shoot at them till they get 30' away from me then ill pull out a throwing dagger cause i'm good with them and for some reason people are scared of them and they dont rush unless they have alot of armor (you tiwaz). but if you get 6' close to me ill pull out the shield and a sword or two swords wich i carry on my back, and i ussually wear my 2 points of armor, people usually never get that close to me, I'd say I am the tank of the group...lol. unless your on my side tiwaz with your tons of armor, and walker and glenalth have lots of armor too.

Archer- 4 lives, Must always carry a bow no matter what you cant drop it unless its destroyed and thats what bowyer is for, and 3 points of armor.
Skills-
1st: Bowyer-1/life
2nd: Stun Arrow 1/reusable, Flame Arrow-1/reusable
3rd: Accuracy-5 point arrows
4th: Total lives increase to 5, Armor-piercing Arrow-1/reusable
5th: May now use small shields
6th: Penetration Arrow-1/reusable

So yes archer has its goods but it definately has it's bads compared to scout.

But yes I would be happy to hold either one, preferably scout, oh and btb I havnt read the rulebook in like 3 years so I might have info wrong but i seriously doubt it, check if you want, dont care, fix what must be fixed.

Again, the practice would be

Again, the practice would be for shooting. You could call it "scout practice" or you could call it "archer practice" or anything you wanted if you are running it. You could even call it "shooting practice" if you wanted.

grellen's picture

i think

i think that a shooting practice would be good and if we could get some more people going to fighter practice/shooting/archer/scout practice we could offer more than 1/4 credit like 1/2

grellen's picture

like more than

like more than 10 people everyone get 1/2, 20 3/4, 30 1 credit

Marcil Firestalker Woodsman's picture

Problem is, It's illegal to

Problem is, It's illegal to give any more then a 1/4 credit at practice ever, no matter how many people, at least thats what I heard and read. You can only possibly get a max of 7 credits in a month, if you got credits 4 times for fighter practice, 4 times for archery practice, 4 times for Saturdays, and events, then you have gone over board completely.

And not to be rude but when you have something to add to your last message, press edit instead of posting another one, please.
