I'd bring a super soaker and weaken their armor. Then I'd make my assault.

Oh but that would be so anachronistic... water-powered artillery hadn't been invented back in the Cardboard Age! :D

[CannonDollX]

hahahaa this is awesome!

[afogel]

Unfortunately, as epic as this video is, it doesn't show one of the most awesome parts of the event, which is that while we were fighting we had a big amp blasting Nightwish and Dragonforce music to pump us up!

[Gekkology]

geez! this is great!

I wanna try it here)

[afogel]

It's seriously the most fun you'll ever have. Making the armor is a blast, too!

What part of "Two man enter, one man leave" do these people not understand? Listen to Tina Turner peoples, she wrote the law.
