[X] My Assistant

All I can say is wow... fucking SpikeTV is making me lose my credits with bullshit like that. Where's the shotgun? Molotovs?

Jeez... I need lots of hugs after that one.

I agree... Capone got jacked in that one. But I think the Grenade was better than the Molotov. I'd have liked Capone to get the Bat and Sawn-off Shotgun, and maybe a pistol.

*Hugs*

5grand on the SS. SIEG HEIL! SIEG HEIL! KRIEG KRIEG KRIEG!

Can you say that in a way that doesn't make me want to kick you in the nads?

Ooooh~ They listed out the weapons for Azande vs. Aztec
In order of Special, Long range, Mid Range, Short range:

Azande:

• Botto & Pima (Bow and Iron tipped arrows, laced with strychnine poison)
• Kpinga (Possibly the awesomest throwing knife I've ever seen)
• Makrigga (Barbed spear. With extra barbs.)
• Makraka (A sickle-like execution knife)

Aztec:

• Tematlatl (sling with specially formed rocks, for extra power and accuracy)
• Atlatl & Tlacochtli (Obsidian tipped javelins)
• Maquahuitl (Obsidian saw-like club)
• Tecpatl Sacrifical Knife (They just want a little heart)

If it makes you feel better, I did participate in the Feb. 13th Anti-Nazi Blockade in Dresden this year, also my best friend is a polish jew, otherwise no I cannot.

I'm pretty sure it is historically inaccurate to have Aztec warriors using sacrificial knives in battle. To my knowledge (which is worthless) only Priests could perform sacrifices, and therefore would not be a weapon. Otherwise it looks like Aztecs still got way shafted on their potential weapons just like the ninja in Ninja vs. Spartan.

5k on the Azande!

Not really. Both Warriors have, at best, maybe a hide shield.
And the Maquahuitl cut through a damn horse head, for god's sake.
HORSE HEAD!
Ninja vs. Spartan wasn't really shafted. The problem was is that the ninja just didn't have too many weapons that could take down someone with such a high armor rating. They said in the aftermath that they didn't bother testing some weapons, like smoke bombs, because it'd be in an open field and it'd make the ninja look retarded, but other weapons like Caltrops had an effect on the spartan, but didn't do nearly enough to make a difference, due to the high pain tolerance adrenaline rushes give.
And really, the Spartan fucked up a looooot of people with that shield and spear combo, along with the Armor bits. Short of giving the Ninja some sort of gun or armor, I don't think they had much to counter the Spartan's high armor.
Even the Samurai's kanabo couldn't do much against that shield. And if anything were going to just tear apart the Spartan armor, it was going to be the Kanabo.
I still firmly believe the Knight is the Deadliest warrior, btw. Powerful plate armor, halberds, Crossbows, he WAS the walking tank. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) He was the only guy that could even have hoped to win against the Pirate.

As for the knife, I'd imagine you're right about the priest thing, but it's still interesting to look at, no? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And if it works, even better! I wanna see them cut out a Gel Torso heart (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
I'm giving the edge to the Aztecs, myself. Atlatl's are loooooong range, and the Poison arrows will take about 20 minutes to kick in, long after the match has ended. Early hits with that and the Maquahuitl are going to be clutch. The Azande's best ranges are going to be Mid-Long range, where his Kpinga's going to go against the Sling, and Close range, where his Knife I think will win out.

I'm going to forego betting this week. I'm waiting till something more interesting comes up.

To the ninja question: Ninja lacked poison dart, which could be administered from distance, and then just run away. Also got shafted due to head on fight. whatever.

Knight was a walking tank, but a walking tank that could be pushed down, as demonstrated in the show. This is the fundamental problem with plate armour. Watch anything about medieval knights on the history channel, and you will see that a knight's armour was heavy enough to hold him face down in the mud until he drowned.

No, I think the bigger issue is that a Spartan wouldn't wear armor that would slow him down or prevent him from breaking shit. Shield and greaves? yes. Body armor and arm guards? No.

You don't think two half-naked men, one of whom openly bones little boys, wearing silly little costumes in a knife fight with each other is interesting enough?

Half-naked men engaged in a knife fight to the death is always entertaining. Being a pedo and wearing silly costumes just adds flavor.

I really don't think there are many ancient warriors who could fight evenly one-on-one with a Spartan since they'd have to have a way to neutralize that shield. Not only did it have good coverage, but it was relatively light-weight and could fairly easily deflect most weapons. You might need siege-class weapons or gunpowder to separate it from from its Spartan, at which point things get much more interesting.

Edit:
Still pissed over no Pirate vs Ninja. Fucking cop-out.

If you take data from ninja fight and data from pirate fight pirate would win due to having firearms and explosives. Still cop-out. I hate how battle strategy is not taken into consideration in any of these fights.

You and me both. ATG vs ATH was a travesty.

They take them into account, but they don't have them run away and come back when one target is napping or something, if that's what you're talking about.

Also, in case anyone was wondering, apparently the Azande won, 552 : 448

Use it for my next selection, if you please.

that's a totally legitimate battle tactic, I mean troy was destroyed that way.

One more time My humiliation is complete. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

at least it's not real money, maybe you should stay out of the casinos cheppy

okay, but then you just run into an issue of "What happens when they can't find each other because they ran away?" or "What if the Spartan finds the Ninja asleep?" Then What about the entire spartan army, since they wouldn't train to fight seperately?" and blah blah blah blah blah.
The tactic of Running away then starts getting retarded.

And the entire premise is, if two warriors fought, who would win? saying "I run away" isn't an option. It's like a cage match in a really big cage.
The closest they would have had to it would be Attila, and only because he could fire his bow while withdrawing from combat on his horse.

I mean troy was destroyed that way.

Troy was destroyed without anyone fighting anyone? Really? Just one side running all the way back to their country?

Use it for my next selection, if you please.

... which is...? I think you were paid up to Nazis, but I can't recall you picking anything beyond that.
