    One Thread To Rule Them All (Foilists Only)

    Gather 'round fellow foilists, I have something to bring to your attention. A certain smell led me to the so-called "Epeeists only" thread, whereupon I stumbled on a most hideous plot for Forum Domination. It seems they have cooked up a plot to rep themselves higher and higher, like some incestuous self-congratulatory orgy... how very epeeist-like!

    From their manifesto:

    And so, they dare challenge our ultimte superiority in the realm of all things fencing. We cannot let this stand fellow foilists. We must strike back with our own Shock and Awe assault until WE and only we rule the rep list.

    Let us beat them at their own game (bahahahah, I know, it's so easy to do )... Let all foilists post your thoughts, suggestions, and whatever the heck else you feel like here, and we shall rep you for it. Then, we shall rise to our Rightful place above all.

    Well, this is interesting... Kinda like all the other rep threads... I don't quite see why we need a specific Foilists Only thread...

    How unoriginal.

    No, just a new fencer who's willing to try out each weapon.

    Do you wash your uniform after you try them? If so, epee probably isn't for you.

    This is highly disingenuous coming from an epeeist given how many times it has been suggested in the epeeist only thread that if ROWers don't like it they should start their own (again).

    Can someone tell me how to set a blade? I'm not sure if it makes any difference for me to say that the foil has a pistol grip, but it does. I believe it's a 5, too.


    PS. Don't bother giving rep, that's not why I'm here. I was hoping there would be some foilists here who knew what they were talking about. (since I don't )

    Do you mean the cant of the weapon? First, do a seach in the Armory section, referrencing setting a blade, or cant of the weapon, then if you can't find the answer you're looking for, start a thread on the topic!

    Ok, thanks.

    I would have started a thread about it, but I didn't really think it was that important. (the question, not the 'cant of the weapon'.)

    It should be "Let all foilists post their thoughts..." but it doesn't really matter anyway, since everyone knows foilists are incapable of thought... only of whining.

    And I'm not really here--I'm just moonlighting for Inq...
    Why sabre? Because you don't take heads with the point.
