| It's still a sabre sweetie... (epee fencers  )
Shouldn't that ancient weapon be a little crustier?

How is that a sabre?
To me it looks like a crow's head behind a torch-thingy... wow I need sleep...

| It's the hilt of a calvary sabre. The blade is running to the front-right.

| Yes, it's the shadow of the guard that's confusing you...that and the mandatory tininess of the image. | |

| It also looks like a guy with a wide-brimmed Mexican hat (with a very large tassle coming out the back) and a very long nose.

Am I the only one who originally didn't recognise it as a sword?

| It took me awhile, but I see it now.
I'm glad Inquartata got a new avatar, now Roguenine and other sabrists won't confuse us. Newly unique.
Although this is going to take some getting used to. I keep thinking you're HillBilly. |

| Wow... Inq with a new avatar, it's gonna be interesting to see if it sticks. Changing the avatar that people have associated you with after so long might not work. Look at what happens when they try to change a superhero's costume. It's not always met with positve feedback.
Seriously, I like the new avatar. I was able to tell it was a sabre right away. Of course I was at the Hangover Open on Sat and where about 50 saberists were fencing and hogging all the strips (not much screaming though)

| Quart,
Does this mean that you will suddenly come out in favor of colored uniforms and see-through masks?
Nice job, Zilver!
