[The wild one]

This is really good! well done! there are a few grammer mistakes here and there but it's still great! Keep it up!

[theblackwolf]

incredible :panting:

[Indiana_Jones]

Nice, a few grammar mistakes thats all.

I am currently working on a Indiana Jones fan-made novel on my computer, it is called:

The Adventures of Indiana Jones- The Werewolf Chroincles: Book 1 Lycanthropic Vengeance.

A 228 page story. I will type it up, when I have time. Plus, it is not a quickie.

it's good. keep writing, you have talent, but a few mistakes.

Not a bad read. I'm more than halfway to the secnd story.

But i'm very confused. I recall you saying you don't support much of werewolves using guns, maybe all other weapons too (but i don't know). Why did this story series say the contrary? Just my 2 pence.

Keep it up.

I can clear this up a little, In the Lycanthropes stories, werewolves consider humans guns abominations and a cowerdly weapon that can be used by enyone even the weakest.

However they do accepts swords, spears, knifes sicne you do need at least some skill to use them correctly and effectively. I do support other weapons for werewolves just not guns (Bladewolfs name was given cos of my liking of the sword.)

As for Grammer and Spelling, I am a little dyslexic ^^() so i suck with grammer :thpt:

This is waaay off-topic, but you've touched upon a pet-peeve of mine.

Have you ever tried to fire a rifle? It takes considerable practice before you can fire the thing and have a chance at hitting anything even at close range. True marksmanship demands months if not years of training; accuracy and speed under stressful conditions requires expertise, iron discipline, a cool head and a deft hand. Recall the gunslingers of the American old west. Those fellows raised the quick-draw and shootout to an art form.

I'll be the first to admit that some (read: many) guns are not weapons - they're tools for killing people. Some of the nastier assult weapons and automatics definitely qualify as such. Older guns, such as the bolt-/lever-action rifle, revolver pistols and so forth are weapons - no more or less "honorable" than swords or crossbows. The thing that irks many people about firearms is that, unlike earlier weapons, they give their wielder a power they don't possess. Melee weapons simple concentrate or focus your strength in advantageous ways; bows and crossbows store "potential energy" from your muscles. Guns are different. It doesn't matter if you're a shrimp or an Olympic weightlifter - the difference in raw physical strength is rendered negligible. The only thing that matters is skill, speed, and tactics.

Under your werewolves' interpretation, guns would be more honorable than melee weapons. Think about it. A fight between two warriors wielding the same firearm would be a test of skill and speed alone. A warrior shouldn't be measured by brute strength.

i'll print this out and give it to my kenjitsu teacher who says that guns are for wusses, and swords are real weapons.

Er, I wouldn't do that. This isn't the "full" version of my rant on firearms. I haven't covered all my bases with this, so to speak. If you really have to pass this along to him at least let me complete it.

Well, still if you point a guin at each others head it will be a case of whoever shoots first (or have the nerve) wins (no skill just nerve)

Swords however if you are sharp and put a blade at each others head, the first thing you would to instimnctively would to block each other and play it safe beafore gonig back in.

Conclusion:

As i stated guns are used by cowered still who rather gets it done quickly rather than face a true worthy battle :thpt:

Still it is a view of the werewolves i potray in this story

And please no more gun rants here please its diverting the topid in a wrong direction

No. As I said before, you've touched upon a pet peeve of mine. Countering my argument and then calling for the thread to go back on topic so as to avoid my response won't work.

The same argument could be made against swords if both combatants had their swords pressed against each other's neck or head. Whoever has the nerve to stab first wins. Yes, you could block or dodge, but it wouldn't be easy, and if you could dodge or block a sword pressed up against your neck you could probably escape a gun held against your head. It would only become a game of nerve and luck IF the two warriors started in such a position. Even then it can become a test of a warrior. The Iaido duels samurai engaged in were said to be the ultimate contest of the warrior's skill, and all they involved was facing your opponent, rushing towards them, and striking once. Notice a similarity between this and the quick draw challenges gunslingers engaged in?
