The Humourous Weapon Positions Thread

[bonobo4]

Nah, I just can't spell the word weapon. It's one of few words I misspell, (when paying attention. ) I agree, every weapon would float a few mm, that's obvious. I think the points are right and fair at the moment, you agree?

Fixed the OP.

Everythin O.K. so far. But we need more combatants... Let's just see wht happens. I'm collecting screenshots meanwhile. And doing a little promotion in other threads

[bonobo4]

The name's changed. By the way, I just thought, you see that last pic, with the floating spear. Two things, 1 it's unclear whether it's floating, (it is, it was floating by itself.)

2nd, "Uninterested and untroubled by the floating spear, or the satyrs trying to kick him in the face, Heroboy takes some time out to learn some geology."

Oh, and, all weapons must be free-standing, no stuff standing in the screen that fell in game afterwards.

P.S. Well done on beating the Most Posts per day record, I thought I made lots of posts!

First of all, take this:



Some math:

one floating staff + one standing axe + one standing club + one floating bow and a floating staff () + one standing club + a standing, but disappearing staff = 18 points for me (I didn't give points for the last staff)

=> pwnage

And: Stuff from sarcophagi and similar containers doesn't count, since it always floats, as long as it doesn't hit the ground.

I guess you are the heaviest poster out there, dude. You did reach 1000 today, and now you're at 1038... this is w!(/,3d.

Lol, nice. I'll add your points. Hmm, 38+ posts today, hmm, guess that is a lot. But some days I make 40 and some I make 5, on average I make 10.5 a day. Works out. Some things.

1. That staff is kinda balanced, it could fall over. I'll give you the points though.
2. Again, that club is standing, but not upright. But, for the same reasons as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, () you get the points.
3. That club looks liked your playing cricket with it.
4. A sinking staff? That deserves at least 5 points. So that's 23 points added for you. Nice
5. All the same character? Nice

OK I'll play, but I never enable shadows, so I'll try to take screenshots so they are as clear as possible. Maybe even two for the same thing so it's obvious. You guys can then give me as many points as you want. I am honest.

[Caw521]

Oh, I didn't see this!

Can I repost mine with the hand-axe?

And some of the pictures are just opened bone piles and items in mid-air. Is that legit? Just wondering.

[Kir4]

Of course you can. The more players, the better.

By current rules, every picture gains points that shows weapons in either upright or physically incorrect positions For "big pointers", shadows need to be enabled during the screenie.

Exception: Weapons that drop from sarcophagi always seem to land in an incorrect position if they don't hit the ground. Dunno if that's already in the OP.

AND: Of course screenies with weapons that are still in motion don't count.

Today really sucked. Only found one humourous weapon. I'll collect more pics before posting...

Edit: Maybe we should include another rule to make sure itms are not in motion anymore- press "y" to show its name. That onlyworks if the items hold still. I'm going to PM bonobo for that one.

[Matseb2611]

I have one. Well it's two pictures for the same thing. I think we can definitely conclude these are stationary since my herogirl couldn't have moved from one point to the other so fast.





From those pics we see:

- 3 floating tiger torso armors
- 1 shield standing on its edge
- a floating axe (notice the shadow of its handle)
- a floating head piece
- floating bracers
- another floating axe, but its shadow is obscured by the shadows of the corpses so its up to you if you want to give this one the points
- some other junk that I can't make out anymore.

[Kir4]

Of course bonobo is the final judge but...

....this is the "Humurous Weapon Positions Thread"

If every piece of armour counted, the thread would probably get out of control very quickly. Only weapons count (shields are weapons).

And, also notice that almost every weapon floats a little, meaning it floats with visible shadow in low height, but remains perfectly parallel to the ground. To avoid misconceptions, we introduced the term "physically impossible".

However, these pictures are still worth a few points. So keep on going
