Well basics are the most important thing when joining any boffer/sword fighting sport. Considering you take kendo and fencing as well I'm sure you'd know that.

Bring them out and I'll get Martus to help with a class.

Yeah, exactly. We can teach them as well, and what better experience than fighting with Martus, Skeith, or myself? (at least, out here. XD) Getting down the basics, those things are taught by the first practice. XD if you want to advance your swordmanship, then please, bring them (and yourself, lol) out to a practice!

If I ever see flaming like this on our boards again, people are getting banned. No exceptions. I'm not even kidding.

I'm extremely disappointed in every one of you who participated in that-- even after I very nicely asked you all to keep it to PMs. That doesn't exactly give me a very good impression of you all, especially the ones who only joined here to bitch people out. In short, you're really not helping your own case, and I'm not very happy with anyone in Centrawoven (and a few others from various realms as well) who thought it was ok to retaliate in that manner.
Which is sad, because I really had your backs when this first started, and I even allowed what had already been said to stay up for that very reason. That did not mean I was condoning more posts of that sort.

This thread is being locked, and it's highly likely that posts will now be deleted. Again, let me state that if I see anything like this anywhere else, people will be banned. This behavior isn't what our forums are for.
