ElKapitan: :rolleyes: I see.

Hello all, how is everyone?

Hello Wintermute, I'm good thanks - finally finished the finish on my cab :)

Howdy everyone.

Good good.

hello eberyboby!

I'm buying swords, and frantically working for Friday's big deadline. Once I've eventually finished off this composition and the accompanying report, and polished off another essay I'm nearly done, that should have used up most of today. Then tomorrow I can START the other essay...

What sort of sword? I always wanted a ninja sword but never got round to buying it.

i've been doing creative writing all day
and in between trying to work on my slapping. i'm pretty da[SIZE=2]mn hopeless[/SIZE] :thumb:

u mean a katana?

Ninjas didn't use katanas. Katanas were hand-and-a-half, or bastard swords. Far too impractical and slow for a ninja. They'd be more likely to use a Wakizashi, Tanto, or Sei.

I'm buying a Solingen Rapier.

i thought bastard swords were just, as u said, hand and a half?! Katanas are curved and Japanese by nature (or at least Asian), where as bastard swords are just a bastardised long sword and short sword and the preserve of the Western world no?
i might be wrong, in which case i apologise

hello, how are you all today

What does bastard mean, when referring to swords?

I'm quite sure that a bastard is someone who was born when his/her parents where not married, and, because of the baby, did indeed get married. Not sure how that has something to do with the sword..

a bastardised version of two things or cross between two things
eg, a bastardised pint of lager is a shandy, lager and lemonade

i suck at explaining :thumb:

You are, but don't worry about it, most people are very misinformed when it comes to swords.

Katanas are indeed Japanese, but that doesn't stop them from being bastard swords.

A Bastard sword is any sword that is halfway between being one handed and being two handed. A Katana would usually be weilded with two hands, but not always. It was a lot more powerful, and faster when weilded with two hands, and there are variants of the katana (notably the dai-katana) which are designed purely to be used with two hands.

Most people think of a bastard sword as a cross between a broadsword and a claymore, but that's like seeing a red Jaguar and thinking that if a car is red, it's a Jaguar.

ah, kay
i feel small now
can we talk about something i know about like.....wait a sec.....erm....it'll come to me......just gimme a minute.....umm.....no, no there's nothing :upset:

:upset: and i thought it'd be pron!

I just realized how much better MX is then other boards/forums. We have such freedom hear , and we can do so many things. On toher forums your lucky if you can get a Avatar

i used to go on an Unreal Tournament forum, UTBooty in case anyone else did, and that was just as good, if not better
there was a real sense of community cos there were only 200 odd members and we'd all arrannge inter clan matches and stuff
it was all good.....ah, the good old days of UT *sigh*

The freedom to go WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo0000000000000000000000!

^ Shut Up!!

Im nto saying MX is the best , Im just saing its one of the best and I enjoy when i come off another server and come here. Besdies the bass forum only has (correct me if im wrong ) 20-30 odd memebers who are always here. Were a community :lol:
