But would nevertheless lose as a result of your general inexperience with a blade.

Let's assume that Bay12 gets to nominate its champion - and I firmly believe it should - then we will likely choose Arx.

And you will be el screwdo.

Edit: Or me, I guess, though that would entail two big fellas in quite good shape slapping at each other ineffectually with swords.

I daresay I could wield a fencing post with some level of dexterity.

Did you read what my occupation would be? A corporate/government informant. That has been taken care of.
A sole informant dealing with billions of people is a task which is beyond me, and probably you - hence why with such a power, the most likely way to have any measure of success would be to alter the environment and let everyone else do the work for you

The internet would be a warzone, I guess, as I would try to sabotage LW, Dunamisdeos, and George while furthering my agenda. I could make a forum game about this.
I would immediately change it so that if you don't do 20 push ups or sit ups or squats every 1 hour, your internet bandwidth will slow to a tantalising crawl. This would hopefully have the desired effect of making everyone swoler

I suspect the only thing that would change about mine is that I'd end up sword fighting a Forumite on the rooftop, and no offense guys, but I'm in quite good shape and I'm a pretty big guy.

And I actually know how to use a sword. Which means that I know that how big you are isn't actually massively important when we're using swords. :v

I think if someone six foot fought someone with dwarfism, that his size may compose some part of his advantage

It's the size of the fight in the dog mate, not the size of the dog in the fight. Though, yeah, size can constitute some nice advantages. It also brings some disadvantages.

I know enough about sword fighting to want a shield, and I wouldn't be parrying because that's how you end up with sword halves.

I didn't mean physically fighting. Okay, while you are swordfighting, I establish an authoritarian internet.

To be fair, any of the users here could be an advanced chatbot pretending to be a human.
