MODIFIED DEMON FIGHT!!!!!!!


Oh, hell yes.
Laughing as always in appreciation at the well-done little jokes. I like how you come up with new ways to handle the addition of more "characters" all the time!

Hey, I think I might have come up with a very dwarfy method for seeing all or most of the demons within the pit!

Bear with me here, as this requires the unfortunate sacrifice of some kittens or somesuch critters:

Step 1: Hollow out a room directly above the top of the demon pit, and place a support in a spot corresponding to an open space on the level below.

Step 2: Starting from that same room, dig a staircase upwards and hollow out the area above your first room, channeling out the floors surrounding the one over the support.

Step 3: Place animals in cages on spots surrounding the support on the first floor, and prepare shooting galleries accessed from outside as desired.

Step 4: Attach the support and cages individually to distant levers.

Step 5: Seal the room, completely, and thus seal the only exit from the room above simultaneously.

Step 6: Pull the lever! (the support lever), then release the animals as needed to reveal the occupants of the room!

Step 7: Save a few demons for me!

Your faithful servant,

P.S.: Don't share with anyone that Archibold can't write, or he'll have my head. He says that a warrior need not write his own legends or some crap like that, but he's still proud. ~Quietust

Well, you know, if you want to get all philosophical, evil benefits from chaos and spreads it. So, evil promotes chaos. But you're right: chaos doesn't really equal or mean anything specific. It just means the lack of order.

It's one of those words which is defined only by what it is not.

*thumbs up of appreciation*

Posting to track. Unfortunately, I have no programming skills and little time to dedicate to helping. However, I could do wiki page revisions or similar logistics management if the need arises.

The zanbatou exists and worked, according to the Metropolitan Museum.  It's not as large as advertised in Rurouni Kenshin.

Well, there you go.

But without going too far into the obvious, Cthulhu, I think we can all acknowledge an ideal relative weight for applying a maximum kinetic energy. Too heavy or too light and you can't exert maximum force relative to your strength and leverages.

All of that aside: a sword designed to kill a horse and rider simultaneously (by swinging something massive at them by hand) is pretty absurd, and even more entertaining when you realize someone really thought it was a good idea. Sure, it worked, and so would exploding frisbees. But that makes them no less ridiculous and entertaining!

I think you probably misheard, I'm not sure how something like that would be more effective than the normal blunt weapons.

Taking the cake for most ridiculous anime inspired made up weapon someone swears up and down is real, though, would be this thing someone told me on Twocansandstring.

they had some interesting tools that I am aware of, including what was essentially an exploding Frisbee (no joke)

Of course, he couldn't cite it, and googling it produces no results.

There's something in that roro kenshin anime or whatever it's called about a supposedly real concept weapon that was never practical: basically a massive sword meant to take out horse and rider simultaneously. Made up or not, it's preposterous and entertaining.
