| No- I use up all my emotional stabilty on the piste. After that, I don't have any energy left. I'm not wired like your average Epeeist. Like I've mentioned half a dozen times today, for some reason, I don't even enter tournaments. I like Epee because I can do one, good, long match. I can make it last ten minutes, or longer if the other person is any good. Hell- I can make it last for hours but it'd be boring. So I usually take my one match, more if I'm asked, and that's all I do. I'm definitely less than typical. It may be because of all the other things that influence my behavior, like surfing. Apparently there aren't many fencers who actually surf- it gives you an odd sense of humor. | |

While I'm posting, I'll remind you all that I'm an epeeist! REP ME REP ME REP ME!!!!!!!!!!!

| Umm, er, do I get points for being a closeted epeeist? Maybe more of an epeeist-in-transition. I'm moving ever so slowly from foil to epee and loving every minute of it - except the bigger, scarier bruises. But it's not a switch I make lightly (and epeeists *think a lot*, right?). I even bought all the equipment and haul it around with me wherever I go... Does this count?

| Hey, I own an epee. I took the handle off of it because I needed it on a foil...

| Tazz- what is that avatar? It's cool. I think. It's anime, right? Well, anyway, this is a disgrace! A mockery of the whole shambles. It's just another ridiculous excuse for foilists and saberists to use when we destroy their homes and rape their women! They'll say they couldn't stop us because we had to many green dot thingys. ANd then we won't know if we could have destroyed their homes and raped their women without all the rep points. And as we sit there, overthinking things as we do, the enemy will lash mindlessly out at our arteries, and that will be the end of us, because of this thread. It was all an evil trick planned by Soldier and Inq. They had it out for us all along......
p.s. This thread is driven by the fact I have slept an hour last night, which is practically worse than no hour, and it's 6:00 in the morning. Does it show?  | |

Your Brotherhood points depend on it.

You don't see sabre or foil fencers starting self-involved threads about how wonderful they are, or inventing devious gamings of the rep point system. We don't have to.
But we must give them something, their lives are so empty otherwise.  | |

| Wow... I go away for a weekend and I get an extra dot.
Mr. Epee, Tazz, and Victor, it looks like you got similar bumps. Very impressive. Though I still think it's strange that we have more rep points than veeco...

Yep,
All is well in the world as we meander down the true path.
Epeeists are joining together, and a few folks have revealed their deep desire to be epeeists.
Once again I have tossed too much rep around in the past 24 hrs. I'll be back in business later this afternoon... so don't worry!
There are a number of brother epee fencers who have not participated in this thread who still deserve your points. To help you find them, I'm linking a few of their past threads so you can go there and make sure they get what they deserve.
Achilleus - Elite American Epeeist Thread
Veeco - Your source for information about epee fencing in France! Using French Grip
PeterGustafsson - Your source for information about epee in Sweeden! Olympic Tapes
Epeecurean - Clever name, so why not? Pressure Springs
sreckiki - Solid epeeist - a little french connection Rocking the local dialect
Dangermouse - Epee in the Pacific Northwest (Has picture of Butthead in profile) http://www.fencing101.com/vb/showthr...171#post238171
-----------------------------------------------------
Now everyone push!

| Jealous of what? Your measly 4 dots?! I think not... I haven't started a foilist only thread, or maybe even a convention weapon only thread... We foilists have WAAAAAY too much dignity for that.

I dunno about that. People were giving negative reps for no good reason, just because they could. I got one once because of the music I was listening to.
