I've been thinking about weapons practice for a while now, especially after the epsilon group got added. (For you guys in epsilon group, if you're still feeling lost about things, read this. Or just ask someone in alpha or beta. We've been there.)

Anyway. For those who weren't on the app yet, weapons practice was started by Dante (who is no longer on the app himself) as a way for people to learn how to fight. With weapons, obviously. A lot of people were getting weapons sent to them by Retrospec and had no idea how to use them. And when I say weapons, I mean non-firearms. Swords. Spears. Magic staffs. Battle axes.

If you want to learn hand-to-hand in this city, there are several places you can do that. If you want to learn how to use a firearm, there are places for that too. But a sword? A spear? Daggers? Ax? That's a little trickier.

So Dante started the weapons practice group, in order for us to pool our resources. People remembering how to fight with a weapon could help teach other people. People being sent weapons could learn how to use them. Or if you just want to learn how to use a weapon, you can come too!

I'd like to start this again. Especially with Retrospec's recent announcement about manual debugging. Same time and place as it used to be. Utsuki Dojo in Tisse, Sunday nights from 6pm to midnight. First meeting will be this Sunday.

You don't have to stay the whole time or even come right at the beginning, though we'll make general introductions at 6. Practice weapons will be provided, though you are welcome to bring your own.

As this is to help people learn physical techniques and increase skill level, magic techniques are not allowed. Magic weapons are only allowed if you can use them sans magic. The dojo is not equipped for that kind of stuff. Please do not burn my master's dojo down. Additionally, no firearms, lasers, fighting robots. Again, the dojo is not equipped for that kind of stuff. Please do not destroy my master's dojo.

Also, I'm looking for healers. I would like to have multiple healers involved, if only so we don't have one healer having to cover the whole six hours. If you are interested shoot me a message.


[OOC: IDK if we'll even manage to hold one this month :'D b/c Tatsuo is part of the initial infection group. Depending on how quickly that group manifests symptoms, we might be able to IC-ly have the first meeting on the 7th. Otherwise, the first meeting might have to wait until next month.]

Now that you mention it, it does feel like it's been quite some time since anyone talked about what crazy weapon they've received from Retrospec... That is strange!

It's also possible most people have already received their bizarre weapons. We haven't had new arrivals on the network for quite some time, after all. Either way I'm sure there will be plenty of people in need of assistance! It's quite kind of you to offer something like this!

Something like that, yes! It really will be helpful for those who are acclimating to the network, and for those of us who are still remembering how to use and receiving new weapons.

Of course! There's really only so much you can learn on your own and from memories. Being able to learn from someone else who may have a different style of fighting could certainly be beneficial!
