That was good fun. Thanks for helping out.

You'll find that false edge parries work better if you think of them not so much as blocks, but as placeholders keeping blade contact while you traverse your butt out of the path of the strike.

weirdoes with obscure interests

Hey, physicists have been taking that guff for years! Although I think swords might win out over particle accelerators. On any number of fronts....

In defence of Medievalists, Re: Physicists: at least Medievalists are not constantly in the news for conducting research along the lines of creating black holes, breaking into other dimensions, and generally messing with the fabric of space. Don't get me wrong, that's all awesome--I just cringe every time I see an experiment described as having a 'small, but non-zero' chance of destroying the earth/universe/causality. Physicists may be weirdoes with obscure interests, but one should take interest in the direction these obscure interests lead them, whereas you can pretty much ignore medievalists as harmless nutjobs.

-S, Harmless Nutjob

The last line priceless.
