((A "katana", in general, like any other word for "sword" simply defines the shape of the weapon. It's entirely possible to have a cheaply forged iron katana, but it wouldn't work well or last long. Traditional, "high-quality" katanas are made of layers of different steels, and its curve is the result of differential hardening rather than merely shaping the blade.))

((yup, katana (刀) refers to the single edged, slightly curved sords of about 60cm.  The reason the WW2 katanas are such low quality is because they had to produce huge quantities of the things in short notice, as all officers had to carry a blade. So they got a bunch of bad blacksmiths, used worse steel and took several shortcuts in the production process. Because honestly, you didn't really need a quality sword during WW2. If you were using it to fight, you were pretty fucked anyway.))

Except if your name is Jack Churchill.

My point still stands, normal soldiers didn't need them. Walking avatars of badassery, however, did need them. They also needed bagpipes and longbows, because awesome.

As usual, PW answers it best.

[Xantalos]

Ah, the only man to score a longbow kill in WW2.

[Tavik Toth]

Put the action here on the on ship thread?

[Kriellya]

Uhhh.... here I think. Just cause it's a trade with a gift item, and so we don't mess with whatever monstrosity of a post PW is coming up with today.

[Tavik Toth]

Okay.

Trade rocket bike for Skylars Bazooka.

HEY XANTALOS


I'll trade you my Bioweapon for your Katana.

It's a rather glorious d20. Big as your fist and apparently made of aluminum or something similar, for it is clearly metal but also pretty light. The edges on it are dangerously sharp and the numbers are embossed with a hard, angular font.

[syvarris]

Sounds like a wonderful throwing weapon for a synthflesh berserker.

Now you just need to get infected with eighteen other proto altered personalities, and tie their inhibitors to the die.  Maybe buy eighteen more syntharms too, just to be thematically appropriate.

You'd be like the OCD lovechild of Twoface and a hecatonchire.

[PyroDesu]

Let's see...

If it's not been taken, 20. If it has, 92. If that's taken, 72.

Anyone who can find the correlation in these numbers, other than the pure mathematical correlation (92-72 being 20, and all permutations thereof), gets a cookie. As a hint: The first two are parts of dates.

You get a mechanical Multi-tool.

Something like this, or what? Multi-tool alone can refer to several different things, and I'm not sure what the mechanical modifier signifies.

Yeah, call me easily confused.
