Dude, if you really wanted to embrace Occam's Razor, you'd be an epeeist.

No. You cannot cut with an epee. Razors are not poky-poky weapons.

Hey, who made you referee? You're an epeeist, you don't "need" referees...

We need referees too. A good portion of the rulebook is devoted to out attempts to cheat!

Only if you give us naughty pics that we can resale on the internet to by new EPEE gear. Nice try though...

Not so fast Cvlle!

As long as she's reasonably good looking and not a total psycho girl, she should get the same credit as an armourer who works on EPEEs. Think of it in terms of service for the cause. MP could be starting our own USO club.

This is an excellent plan.

Shh!!!
Think of it as a plan to breed the others out.

We epeeists are a virile lot.

It's only a matter of time.

I would have thought a saberist would be more a fan of Schrodinger's cat than Occam's Razor. After all the theory applies very well to saber. Since so many saber actions are two lights you both have and do not have a touch after the action. Until the referee opens the "box" and checks on his "cat" there is not a definite touch awarded. The problem comes in with the fact that saber fencers are so notoriously odiferous that the referee often assumes the "cat" (being a saberist in this case) is dead and awards the touch incorrectly to the living "cat". Also a common occurrence of inaccuracy would be that instead of actually opening the smelly box of saberist cat the referee goes by the screeching sounds of the dying "cats" and awards the touch to the one that is screeching longest and therefore seems to be the most "alive", thus geting the touch.

Epee on the other hand is pure cause and effect science. If fencer A does something less well than fencer B, he does not get a touch, or vice versa. Very simple and basic science and thus much less prone to flawed theories. The beauty of the art comes in the ways that this "simple' science is expressed and the endless ways it can interact with and affect the universe as a whole. More like gravity or magnetism. Touches can arrive with the force of a freight train smashing into their opponent or with the beauty and subtlety of the aurora borealis, but the effect is final, powerful and indisputable and like the two aforementioned occurrences, great EPEE leaves no enlightened soul who witnesses it untouched.

She may indeed be a very attractive person, after all a fellow warrior poet has seen fit to date her. The problem would come in, as you correctly deduce, if she is a total psycho girl. I present to you the fact that she is a saberist. And has been for 5 long years. As such I fear that despite the best efforts of the unmentioned EPEEist she may be beyond the help of current science and therapy. As such I feel we should try to keep the genomes of the future princes of the universe as pure and true as possible, nor should we subject them to the stress of being raised in a home where the mother is so obviously mentally unstable (the saber thing again). While I do think that some saberist should be kept and perhaps even selectively bred, it should be for demonstration purposes only and that they should be kept in very nice glass boxes as examples of what not to be for our future generation of EPEEist.

I realize my views on this matter are not shared by everyone, but I feel this is due to the gentlemanly and pure nature of EPEEist's. I have, unfortunately, walked the dark roads of foil in my time before discovering the Truth. As such I understand the darkness that threatens out just cause more than most and I am willing to take drastic, and if need be distasteful, action to ensure the coming golden age. I and a small contingent of other true believers are willing to act in the best interests of all EPEEist and our plans for the future EPEE World Order. Don't worry, no EPEEist has anything to fear. Unless their faith is lacking...

What the #$%^ are you doing? They are NOT supposed to know about this!

Besides, so long as the lesser fencers recognize their place as support roles to Epee, all is well.

[Mr Epee]

I will interject with the scriptures

Be ye not unequally yoked together with non-EPEEists: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath EPEE with foil, or saber? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye, EPEEists, represent the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing (even if she’s hot); and I will receive you..

You underestimate me good sir. Once they realize that the true and holy EPEEist are rising up to bring fencing to its true and full glory and purge their foul heresy from the just Salles of the world they will run before us like birds before the storm and finally congregate like ROW sheep. Once they have gathered together, hudling in their dung strown fields like the chattel they are, it will be much easire to implement Phase 2!

Trust me, we used two focus groups, an independant poll and computer modeling. What could go wrong?

Well, I do like your Final Solution to the RoW problem. (That one's going to get me in trouble.)

As far as hudling in dung strewn fields... have you been to a sabre competition lately? That won't dismay the filthy buggers.

[Fencergrl]

Sigh... as with many churches I see we have a disagreement here between the more liberal members and the more traditional members. I must admit I am divided, while I agree with Mr. Epee in welcoming all, I also see the need to keep the true faith from being watered down.

I think the best compromise is what Cville orignally suggested which is naughty pictures. In fairness to all, they should include both the epeeist & MP... unless she swings the other way... in which case I don't care, but I suspect Mr. E & Cville will start agreeing.

Could it be possible that the poll.....was.....flawed?

An epeeist's poll is much less flimsy than a sabre or foil fencer's; therefore less likely to be flawed.

I suspect that might be part of the attraction MP has for her epeeist.

Would that make a foilist's poll more likely to flop around or hold a bend in an odd direction after a hard shot?
