Medieval madness

How art thou on such a day as this. Tis thou enjoying themselves? And I could go on like that if I so much as disired to. Anyway welcome any of you who are history buffs like myself, no I do not wear glasses, but this kind of history is the interesting kind, the tough kind
It is a time of chivalry, a time of honor, a time of betting up someone who you just don't like because he supposively insulted your honor. Ah yes the Middle Ages. Come all of ye to discuss enjoyment of the medieval period, and thou shalt all talk as lords and equals. Talk of medieval weapons, times or whatever else you may please. It is medieval madness, and for any of those school children who have a test coming up, well thou hast come to the right place. Drink and be merry, m'lords! Huzzah to that, aye!

Just who do you sell these "Unoffical" Oddworld magazines to? How many sales do you get per year? Who's your publisher? How much do you sell your copies for?

In this order, the locals of California, well we used to make people pay to keep it on the press but know we have a fundraiser and as long as people keep paying to the fundraiser we don't charge them a dime, our publisher is an unoffical. Any more ways I can help ye m'lord

Does thou insult thine honor! ah, I'll take it easy, the thread is for history and that stuff and a possible homework helper, as for double posting nobody reads the last post again unless you tell them to so how are they suppose to know about it.

I suppose I could put in laymen's terms instead of Paldrinic Old English. And OT what do you know of the flail, the mace's cousin, the mace execpt it has a long chain attached and has bone crushing, no bone powdering power. Or the halbrid a compination of a pike (spear) and pole arm axe to be able to dimount calvery and attack the swords men without jeperodising one or the other

I don't mean to break the theme, but thou hast written as if thou art from the times of Shakespeare. Thou art needing to speak in Middle English.

Ah in shakespeare everyone spoke that way. See talking in these terms has been used since biblical times, well it was the way the english translated them, in the Middle Ages people of high importance spoke in this manner to glorify themselves, mainly preists, monks, or palidians (which is pretty much a monk that is a warrior).
The common term of ye substituing you was made in the middle ages, and used in later ages alike, So the reason I use that call it Paldrinic Old English is because it uses the thou and thines that had been around for about 2 centuries prevoius but also includes words that only came about in the Middle Ages, Dark Ages, and Rennissance such as shalt instead of shall, forthwith instead of forward or immediatly and so on. Oh and the reason it is used in Shakespeare is because he spoke/presented to the rich and nobles who may have also spoke in that fashion. Of coarse they didn't always speak this way 24 7, just when they where appearing powerful or great. They, although, almost always wrote in the Old English term
But Godlesswander, it is appearent you have some extensive knowledge of the Middle Ages because you said they speak in Middle English, middle English is what they spoke, Middle English is the Old English with the Middle added words included, so I am impressed by this and it is easier to say Middle English them Paldrinic Old English. Oh crap, I am giving history lessons again without people asking

EDIT: Incognito, how about a half shiling for making guess, aye

Too many themes, indead, this is a medieval thread, not a go panzy thread, Rich is right. Oh and by the way the thread has been alive for one day already so lets just say I won the bet. Oddly Insane, thou's humor delights us, please stay as long as you wish on this thread. And for Incognito, I beleave that is Measure for Measure if I am right. Good play done by Shakespeare, it is also impresive to see someone who read it. To answer Al the glukkons question about the glasses, it means I don't wear glasses thats what.

I was reffering to your use of stereotypes.

Well I am a sterotype for the weird person who accidently freaks people out myself, So I will use a different stereotype, I don't have a pocket protector or do any nerdy things. Know wearing glasses isn't nerdy but if they are round shells that can burn ants, then you chose them that way. But no I have many friends who where glasses. Wear is that spit of slave of mine, Odd Trusting, he is suspose to be doing the dishes for me and then cutting the lawn with scissors

The thread indeed lasted longer than a day. Though sadly, only 2 hours and 53 minutes longer. *tuts*
