He has terrible form. His hand position is for full range, his strike is not as efficient as it should be, but was still effective against an unknowing opponent.

Things will not go as well at the next meeting.

Next meeting? Those people might be dead.

People underestimate the deadliness of the simple staff. It's a solid hunk of hardwood. In a medieval reenactment group my friend was a part of, some people said the staves should require two hits to take out an opponent because they're so weak. So they set up a steel helmet as a test, hit it once and caved it in completely. That put a stop to all that talk.

But yes a skilled quarterstaff practitioner should absolutely place their hands much farther apart.

Well, as Archimedes already said:

Give me a lever long enough and a fixed point on which to place it, and I shall cave your head in.

People underestimate the deadliness of absolutely everything, except for the things where we grossly overestimate it.

Some high ceilings up in here.

[–] Album@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Obviously they used the Staff Only room

Next time bring oxacillin.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So, what do I bring for the scrum masters meeting?

[–] Jtee@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Rugby team

Edit: they also help with sprints

No, it's a staff.

[–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, it's a play on words using homophones.

[–] Fixbeat@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Oh, I was thinking that you might feel beaten down after a business staff meeting, much like a weapon staff meeting.

Old Bill was the only survivor. Luckily for him, he had experience using staves, canes, and sticks from being born blind.

[–] ryan213@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

I wonder how he'll do at Wizard staff meeting.

[–] simin@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago
