The tend to take their dicksword tag and culture of "anything better than a pillowcase tabbard is trying to show off", but individuals have merit.

>how do the more realistic styles of roleplaying stay safe?
we watch out for each other. You can't bash with full force an unknown person (although between two guys who train with each other and know each other this could happen)

I realise that it's a big letdown for most internet though guys who wants to "bash a shieldwall themselves" but you have to compromise. somewhere. We have safety standards but people are less anal about those and more about using common sense to make the game safe

I recently had a chance to try out a dicksword made in the US.
I noticed two things:
First one that it was as light as it could be so you really had to try to injure anyone
The second one is that it wasn't exactly soft. Not as soft as our weapons. So if it were a little heavier then it would be less safer than the weapons we use, but because of the lightness it's somehow similar in terms of safety.

On the other hand because of the lightness (and because it's a dicksword) you can't properly fight with it, it forces you to use light tappings as it can be seen on any boffertag game. So there is that...

Also another important thing: people here does not afraid of small injuries. That means bruises will happen there is a possibility to break a bone if you fight rough. Although the bone braking is rarely happens during the game, it's a thing for after game fights.

Once I stabbed someone in the neck with a spear by accident. He was moving backward while still facing me and stepped into a hole while I stabbed at him. He needed a little time to be okay but admitted that he died at this and after the game when I apologized he said that no worries, if someone can't bear something like this than he can play chess instead.
