I wonder what it would be like if this board were run Highlander Style. Where, we all have the power to kill off whomever we want to, but they have the same opportunity to for us. And if we sucessfully kill them, we get their post count added to ours, making us harder to kill.
There would be honor codes to abide by, and hanging out in ATMB could be like the sanctuary. Clans would form to protect one another, but soon we would turn on our own to defeat a powerful enemy.
Oh, please, there’re only about a half-dozen people with a post count higher than mine, and they’re all old and decrepit people who need to wear undergarments, lest they soil themselves.
The lot of you are no match for me. Surrender now, and I will allow you to engage in a drunken orgy for a thousand years and a day.
Yeah, I mean, I’ve got a fence around my yard, but does that make me tough? No! It doesn’t even keep the squirrels out of my birdfeeder, dirty little buggers!
Fencing? Pshaw!
And, as an appropriate addition from Mr. Lewis Carroll:
All those candy-ass swords are all well and good but naked steel ain’t gonna protect you from a .45 slug travelling at a god-awful speed children. Even the immortals were hurt by bullets.
I always wondered…why not just hit the Kurgan with a bazooka and cut off his head while he was healing?
And hey! Tygr mentioned Zeiss! Don’t we have some sort of SDMB punishment for that?
OK, this is all fun and games, but I should make a disclaimer here before we go much further: there will be no fighting with drug induced blasphemous kids! Put down the speed, and pick up a weapon.
Thanks for the support, lurker. These silly people must all be thinking of sport fencing. That’s about as useful in real combat as Tae Kwon Do.
The fact that they think fencing is harmless will only increase my pleasue. The look of surprise on their faces when I kill them one after one is the ambrosia of my soul.
