Epeeists only

[larkascending]

It was an epic battle for the ages... Or would have been if we hadn't run out of time.

Actually, it was still pretty epic.

My hat goes off to RkfdFencer, who won 45-43. Does he want to tell the rest of the story?

[larkascending]

Final score RkfdFencer 100, Lark 79. The rematch happens this December.

[Inquartata]

Great! The world can use another good nap.

[Lady Quindecim]

Like that nap you put this thread in with your post?
=^_^=

[larkascending]

I can't even figure out what Inq said, as I keep falling asleep halfway through his post every time I try to read it. Luckily, now I have a cure for insomnia that works even faster than the epee lockout time.

[larkascending]

Epee bump!

[Lady Quindecim]

Followed by epee grind? :mock-shock:

[TheFrenchFencingFactory]

But we are slow. We take our time and we set things up so that we can attack when we see fit. I don't see anything wrong with that, either (though King Roche apparently does).

The only thing that bothers me is that there aren't that many epee specific threads. Perhaps that's because there's not much to be said?

THIS IS FOR EPEE ONLY .......................

Breakfast, fencing, lunch, fencing, dinner, fencing, in France.

Now when people ask me what my ideal day would be, I will have an answer...

[Lady Quindecim]

Breakfast, fencing, lunch, fencing, dinner, fencing, in France.

Now when people ask me what my ideal day would be, I will have an answer...

Ditto. Oh, so ditto.
'cept the France part - there are equally appealing alternatives.

[larkascending]

This is true- the France part is the least important ingredient.

Spain, Italy, Sweden, Russia, Germany, Kazakhstan: all equally appealling alternatives.

It would even be nice at home.

[RkfdFencer]

Yes, with a schedule like 'food, fence, food, fence, food, fence, sleep' the location isn't really as important as the quality of the fencing. Maybe the quality of the food, at least for some of you reading this.

[larkascending]

Something tells me that you wouldn't care too much what kind of food there was, RkfdFencer...

Personally, as long as there are Cheerios I'm good to go all day.

[Inquartata]

Epee bump!

Primus: Stop it.

Secundus: "Stop it or I'll lock you in a box".

Breakfast, fencing, lunch, fencing, dinner, fencing, in France.

Yes, but why are you discussing fencing in a thread about epee?

[larkascending]

This is our thread and here we make the rules!

I will continue to bump like a coal mine whenever necessary.

Two epee tournaments this weekend wheeeeeee

[thetortfeasor]

so, i got injured a few months ago, and between that, bar prep, and now work, i haven't fenced in almost 4 months. i'm ready to get back in the swing of things, though.

do you guys think it'd be better to start up with lessons again, or just jump right in and do a competition?

[larkascending]

Yes.

Do both.

You going to the Turkey Meet?

[larkascending]

I am indeed, for both epee events. See you there?

(Now I am leaving for fencing, for reals)
