Speaking of which ...

GIMME SOME REP POINT LOVIN, PEOPLE!!!

And on other topic ...

I lose my foil rating at the end of this month. It falls right off the scale back to the Unrated level. (sniffle) Very sad. Anyone else here losing their multiple-rating status?

[Sciurus-Rex]

Wellllllll.... I finally acquired my fourth green dot. Thanks.
Looks like I'll be stuck here for a while.

you're welcome. wait, "stuck"?

[Have At You]

Victor, I think you started some sort of cult.

One with surprising staying power.

[broncofencer]

No. There was never a suitable conclusion or settlement to that great debate!

This is an epee forum we don't make conclusions or settlements we make a point then move on if someone else makes a point as well we acknowledge it and move on.

This is epee... a point is a point.
No one to decide if it is or isn't.

And sometimes you can both make your point at the same time - and they're both valid. What a wonderful world we live in!

Strangest item you have ever used to practice epee with or on.

Before I got my weapon I used a dowel with a plastic container for a bell guard. I have no idea why I felt I needed a bellguard as I only fenced in front of the mirror... but it just looked right

I used to use a marker taped to the end of my epee and would try to write my name on a huge piece of cardboard. This was designed to improve fingertip control.

Unless it's a floor touch. Or, given the propensities of epeeists, a furtive one to your own ankle...

I think it's sabreurs who would behave like that, if given half a chance.

Epeeists prefer to cheat so as to actually score on the OTHER person.

"Score on the other person"? Hey, I thought epeeists were all one big happy family of Kumbaya-singing rep-swappers. What's with wanting to hit each other?

Tsk! What would The Church Lady ( Zilverzmurfen ) say?

[scrapinpeg]

you mean, after smirking, invoking satan, and doing a superiority dance?

wow, way to bring back old memories there.

[Zilverzmurfen]

Zilverzmurfen says "No cheating in the church of épée!"

[Epee_Pox]

there's a coach at my club who's fond of saying that cheating IS fencing.

he means "outwitting your opponent in seemingly underhanded ways" when he says cheating. but it sounds better without the explanation.

Didn't get enough attention in your own thread, eh?

[Fencergrl]

It's almost the end of the day and no sermon????
We're slipping. I'm much to tired from spending the day at the World Cup to think of anything clever....

So let's just think happy epee thoughts okay??? Amen!
