Archery: Now a Live Martial Art

[Mr. Machette]

Maybe I don't.

It's the 21st century.

They can get Prince Harry's dick pics, your dick would not be nearly as hard (but not nearly as valuable)



Yes pun intended.

Harry's wang wouldn't work on the street.

The links are dead now anyway.

The links are dead now anyway.

I am strangely disappointed by that.

God, I need a new hobby.

Shouldn't they all be standing still on some ridge somewhere until they either win the battle or get routed by infantry or cavalry?

You know, sometimes you actually post sensible things. You got me thinking.

Take a look at the kind of enormous Paintball fields they have at places like Skirmish, in PA.

Castles, rivers, hills, forests...now if you REALLY wanted a cool battle with archery, I think a large scale Skirmish-style event would kick the ass of Archery Tag.

Instead of everyone running around taking wild shots with no cover, you could have the archery snipe fest of your dreams at a place like Skirmish..

They'd have to change the weight and construction of the arrows for longer distances, but it would make for cleaner, harder shots.

I think my biggest gripe with Archery Tag is how it's all crammed into one little field. Archery is just not a "short range" thing. Think bigger and it becomes a lot more interesting to me, personally.

LOL some of you sockpuppets are getting sloppy with the voting. So many alternate accounts on their little crusades to influence the voting...not that anyone cares, but if you weren't so blatantly obvious about switching accounts and targeting the same posts, I might not notice.

Keep it up I'll put together a nice report for the mods on all the sockpuppet accounts with ample evidence for each taken from BS.net and other sites, including admonitions from other site moderators.

It's not like cross site link analysis is a hard thing to do with the right software, and I use the best.

I am so glad W.Rabbit doesn't actually work when he is at work.

One of these days maybe I'll get a chance to explain why it seems that way. I am always working. I work too much, about 80 hours a week on average, doing the jobs of about 5 people.

Work doesn't begin or end for me on a daily basis anymore. I have no work-life balance, it became impossible, and now my work and life have fused into the same thing. It can play havoc with my mental health sometimes, but that's what zen is for.

Luckily before that happened, I had the right things in place to distract me at periodic intervals, including wife, kids, MA, and Bullshido. Otherwise I'd have turned into a true workaholic, with no life whatsoever. I've narrowly avoided that.

BS.net and BJJ class is currently the only social thing I have time for.

Getting my butt kicked in Maryland surrounded by kung fu people was like a massive group hug. It was medicine I needed, like the testicular cancer support group in Fight Club. Hell, people even tell me I look like Ed Norton.

Asked and answered.

What the shit. Go start your Agincourt Experience business, I'm sure you'll be broke in a few hours. Motherfuckers want to play Legolas.

... mainly because you covered everything that I was considering mentioning was in this last post.

Interesting props and larger locations : check
Heavier pulls on bows : check
Implementation of realistic tactics : check

Do people really still do this? Seems like nothing but a huge waste of time.

[Bneterasedmynam]

If this is true I want a list of the puppet accounts so I don't have to respond twice in a discussion.

They do it at the nation-state level now. There are government and privately funded organizations doing it professionally.

But plenty of average people still do it for personal reasons or vendettas, it's very common.

People create accounts of dead people to troll their living relatives online. I can tell you some sick sick stories...

For some people I imagine trolling in a sophisticated way must trigger certain pleasure centers of the brain associated with a sadistic fetish.

Those little down arrows are like a small spike of endorphins, and they need more than just one...two or three at least.

Being able to maintain multiple accounts in a social forum can create a control structure around an unassuming member...you can create two or three accounts, and use them to psychologically trap someone in a game similar to "Good Cop, Bad Cop".

The nation states I mentioned do this with teams of people working together against a specific agenda. The Russians and Chinese are notorious for it, it's how they hunt for defectors.

[BackFistMonkey]

^100% correct.

Now is there a multipronged coordinated ninjer and TMA supporting bunch of pussies who drink out of used enema bags currently doing so on Bullshido ... ? * shrugs * you would have to pay attention and see.

I know there have been waves of them in the past. If they are still doing so it would have to be more subtle than it was.
