  • Happy 8th Birthday, 4chan *click*

    Server/posting issues should be resolved now.

    Portland, OR folks: You are invited to drink beers, play arcade games, and eat delicious donuts.
    The *tentative* plan is to meet up Saturday, at 10PM @ Ground Kontrol ($2 cover after 9PM, 21+ after 5PM), and grab donuts at Voodoo after midnight.
    If anything changes I'll post it to @4chan on the Twitter (so follow it if you're thinking about coming).

    Japan, year Onin 1(1467), Onin War.

    Kyoto's northern parts are in ruins, and everyone who can flee from Kyoto are doing so.
    You've also decided to leave Kyoto and now in the middle of packing your things, when suddenly―

    BOOM*

    *BOOM*

    *CRASH*

    That's all it takes for an Ashigaru to break into your house with the intent to rob and kill you. Why don't you own a Katana?

    >>7940914
    You speak as if you have the muscle to deflect a spear held by a man.

    Fantasy glorifies the sword.
    But the spear is the main weapon for commoners for a reason. It also dominates the battlefield. Halberds and other variations are also good.

    There's a reason spears are primarily used against horsemen, on open fields.

    I don't understand why the sword has such a reputation for being a "Samurai's weapon".

    Wasn't the Katana more or less a a piece of metal you carried just in case you lost your spear/naginata/variations of a sharp pole in the heat of battle?

    How about a more hypothetical situation like 5 cm away from a dagger user ?
    It must be great to have teleportation. Except you don't. Unless you sneak up on him, for that any weapon will do.

    >>7940932
    And he could throw his spear at you or his hidden dagger. Go full retard and talk about ranged combat all you want, except that the convo is no longer about spear vs swords.

    >>7940949
    Stop going full retard and add more details never mentioned before to your surroundings. Even if you hide behind a corner, you still have no way to get close to him as he holds his spear and waits for your head to pop up to thrust at you. If you don't advance, he'll just advance step by step, trying to get the best sight of you.

    Yes, they were just ornamental weapons, katanas were brittle and not reliable as a weapon either, swords are linked with "courage" for obvious reasons.
