Last night I had a dream.
I was at the most recent Crown Tournament, standing on the sidelines like I was, waiting for the fights to take place so I could record them as I was supposed to as MoL.
First round, like it did happen, was single dagger as decided on by His Majesty.
Timothy and Ariel go out and start the wailing on each other like they did. I got annoyed, just like I did in real life. At the tournament I event turned to my assistant and said "Timothy should take this. He fences. They just need to fence rather than thinking of it as an itty bitty sword". Which they did not.
However, in the dream I got so frustrated with them that I handed my MoL stuff to my assistant, called a hold and marched out onto the field and proceeded to give them both a lesson on how to fight dagger, fencing style. Use your off hand to sweep under and move his hand out of the way. No it's not grappling if you use your hand as if there is a buckler there. So what if he cuts your arm... you need to get in and jab the dagger into his ribs. For godssake man, this is down and dirty street fighting. Stop trying to bonk your opponent in the back of the head with your sword, because it's not a sword, it's a KNIFE. Use it like one.
Apparently, two weeks later and I'm still annoyed at how they kept double killing each other and fighting sloppily. And I wasn't even one of the ladies being fought for.
