Ponies. Ponies everywhere. Where will the ponies invade next? Who knows?! Teh nose nose.
From the email:
I play Dagorhir, which is a full contact melee combat sport that uses padded weapons. It's a blast to play and good exercise to boot. The best part is the creativity that goes into it. My main shield is just too heavy when I have to run for an extended period of time. I needed something lighter. So I built an all foam round shield and covered it with this.
PONIES. back to bed. zzzzzzzzz.

This sport. I must play it. And wear a green pointed hat.
ReplyDeletecharge at your opponents on 10 seconds flat.
ReplyDeleteSeth, either get up early or sleep-in. Don't do both. It makes you look silly.
ReplyDeleteHOW DARE YOU CALL ME SETH
ReplyDeleteI see you two as a whole entity. Either that or I just can't read.
ReplyDeletePadded weapons are for Fluttershys.
ReplyDeleteReal ponies use metal swords.
I'm sorry but I loled at "full contact melee combat sport that uses padded weapons."
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's fun, and I'd honestly play that, but it sounds like a long winded coverup for "LARP".
Yeah, it's a LARP, but like with the Society for Creative Anachronism, role-playing your character and leveling up don't really happen. You just fight a lot. It's sort of the D&D4E of LARPs (not that I dislike 4E!). I used to play a little—it's pretty fun, though I enjoy regular martial arts practice a bit more.
ReplyDeleteLulz it's like Seth is Celestia, and Cereal is Luna. Don't worry Cereal, we love you too.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm.....I think my old SCA armour needs a re-vamp. Our house coulours are black, purple & gold.

Dude! I saw this shield in weapons check at gates of fire! Who are you and what realm do you hail from!?
ReplyDeleteI'm now in Urk Kuldar anon and this is my dag name. I'm one of those filthy ****ing facepainters :P. I hail from Maethodoron. I'll be at Rag this year. Truth be told I messed up on that shield cover and it's too small for the shield. It's also got a nasty grease stain which makes me sad. Hopefully I can clean it up and make it actually fit the shield.
ReplyDeleteI'm flashing back to Role Models as we speak. I wanted to do this kind of thing so bad when I saw that movie.
ReplyDeleteAnd now that desire is nearly overpowering.
Oh god it's medieval airsoft.
ReplyDeleteHaha anon, now that is the perfect way to describe it. Medieval airsoft.
ReplyDeleteAquaman, do a google search to find a Dagorhir/Belegarth unit in your area. Same sport with some slightly different rules. Generally people are very welcoming to new people and will loan you stuff.
Just Beware of the one who bares the Fluttershy Signia! ;P
