Verily, foil is the one true weapon. We don't even need a thread of our own to accumulate rep. Leave it to an epeeist to try to sabotage us...

No rep! Let us keep our reputation pure, and not ill-gotten through conspiracy.

[Soldier]

This one has fallen to the dark side...he is firmly in our clutches now.

foil is easy to referee... epee is much harder - just in regards to the timings and watching for floor hits and people running past and off the piste etc etc etc

[Zelda]

I agree, the epeeists have probably been dying for us to start a thread similar to their "I'm an epeeist, nobody loves me, give me rep" thread.

Sorry, ain't gonna happen...

So what about us fencers who don't have a "chosen weapon" and fence with all 3 weapons equally?

Are we just the unwanted bastard children of the fencing world??

Pretty much, yes.

[Inquartata]

Yes, you lot are like bisexuals, PICK A TEAM already.

[RebelFencer]

I'd like to think of them as in the middle of a sex change...they aren't really anything until they pick...Foil or Epee'..because come on, Sabre isn't really an option.

[Inquartata]

True---it's a requisite!

[RebelFencer]

touche'

(words words words)

[Elemental]

Soooo... what you're saying is that I'm a bi-sexual bastard thats in the middle of a sex change who isn't sure of what they want to choose but will ultimately become a sabre fencer?

[Soldier]

...yes.

Just don't give any rep to those damned epeeists.

[Elemental]

...yes

Oh... OK. Just wanted to make sure.

I guess I'd better go break the news to my folks.

Just don't give any rep to those damned epeeists.

Why not? It's no skin off my nose if those who fence only epee need rep to feel validated as fencers?
