Amtgard story time.

This weekend I was at Gypsy Hollow. It is a relatively new holding not too far from where I live that started up 2-3 months ago. For a new group they have pretty decent numbers (20ish including visitors). They ditch a fair amount, the attitudes are awesome, and of course plenty of folks from my home park often visit.

So we are ditching, I make my ( Read more... )

I have to laugh at that. Me, I would have just gone in swinging to see if I could take all four of them down. Just to see, and just because.

I'd have also more than likely been wrecked, but that's the chance you take when you roll the way I do.

Old man tricks Tank. The Amtgard field is far more entertaining when you use them at every turn you can. :)

Which is funny when you consider that I'm the older of the two of us, if I am not mistaken.

I think that means that you are either young at heart, or need to be more of an asshole. ;-)

Hell YEAH old man tricks..

I do that all the time....'Aw, c'mon guys..look at me. I'm old. I'm fat. I'm slow. Dont you want to fight those other guys who are much better? How do you think your going to improve"..
but I can't do that at my home park.. they know that I'm old adn fat.. but not slow, adn I still have some stick..lol.

hell, I don't even usually wait for them to turn around.. when they look away, it's stabitystabstabstab with topspike and sword..lol.
Or even better old man tricks, tuck the top spike, or madu, or other sword or whatever behind my back, and challenge em to a 1 on 1 single sword.. when they step up, manuever around adn then waylay the onlookers..

Dirty old man tricks..

It's part of being an Anti Paladin!

Exactly right dude. Usually after such skullduggery has taken place I simply tell them: "Sorry, my phoenix is BLACK" and then move on. :)

You mean you apologize? Clearly you have a ways to go!

it's not skullduggery..

it's called SKILL.

Anytime you can feint an oppnent out of position.. you win. Head jukes, body feints, verbal mis direction..it all counts.

Matter of fact, I got my 7th warrior in a tourney where I was fighting for 1st in flourentine...the guy I was going against was MUCH better than I am.. When the reeve called fight, I threw my left hand sword in the air all high n stuff...his eyes only moved up for a second, but in that time I stabbed him in the gut while he was distracted...
lol..
