Lemme see here...
A. Have you been playing Soul Calibur and used the weakest warrior, Astaroth (who gets a maul, on extra mode) against one of the strongest, Raphael, with his rapier. This is your way of accusing a friend of using a cheap tactic with him
B. I always thought the rapier was considered a "gentlemen's" weapon, since it was used in duels by nobility. And all knights want to be, if they aren't already a "gentleman."
C. I'm pretty sure a rapier can be effective against platemail too. Just jam it into a joint.
D. Is this supposed to have some connection with the recent Norfleet vs Stormbinder contest? Stormbinder's the honorable yet dimwitted knight while Norfleet is the underhanded yet intelligent knight.
E. Excellent story. Go publish something if you haven't already.
