General Misc. / Gandoki IRL
« on: September 18, 2017, 09:29:56 pm »
Gandoki! The badass Galeoth blood sport from TWP (correct me if I'm off about anything) I also don't know if this is really the right place to write this, it's a little misc, a little earwa, and a little roleplaying. But it starts with a short story.. My friend (also a bakker fan) and I decided to fuck around and try to play Gandoki with two paddleboard paddles on a dock and try to knock one another off. It ended up actually being really fun and competitive. Sometimes you'd make a move and screw yourself over. Sometimes you'd have the other person hung over the edge and you feel like a badass. I'm now sort of in the planning stage of making some custom Gandoki sticks so we can get a bit more competitive about it. We're kind of scared that if we actually tie our hands to them some wrists are gonna get broken, so, so far it's been just holding only, if you accidentally let go or move your hand, you just regrip. I recommend this to any bored souls, it was actually really addicting. Like I said, a dock is a really good place to do it since you can get the other person over the edge, but I'm sure you'd be fine on grass if you marked boundaries. Try it out, give me any feedback on how it went! I want to make it more novel accurate, but still safe. Maybe set up some tournaments or something. When I first read about Gandoki it sounded so cool, I just had to make it a reality!! And if anyone else has done this before, how did it work out for you?

I'm jealous! To be able to read this series again with virgin eyes ... sigh
I know the feeling. I'm already super excited to reread PoN! I hear it's a whole different experience the second time through.

Welcome, Knee. I need to warn you  spoilers are not as well marked as you think they are. Be very, very very careful around here. The PoN Almanac have spoilers up to TWLW too. Wilshire and Madness keep the other PoN subforums clear of TAE spoilers. You can stumble upon TAE spoilers in many places. Some of it will be marked, some will not. Certainly avoid peeking into The Quorum until you are up to date. Better safe than sorry. I personally don't care THAT much for spoilers but in case you do, better be careful like I said. I hope that doesn't sound too unwelcoming. We are always glad to see new members.
thanks mate, I don't hugely care about spoilers but I do remember finding out about Esmi and Kel while reading TDTCB and that was a little disappointing (although at the time I was sure I had read that wrong... Esmi would never!)
I can see your sadness about that from your signature. Poor Akka.  :'( :'(
Ah yes, as a sucker for romance and love stories, that one hit hard  :'(

For me, what will always get me is:

"What will it be next time... the Andi-

The Andiamine Heights?" (badly paraphrasing.)

I'm jealous! To be able to read this series again with virgin eyes ... sigh

Right?
Fuuuuuuuck yeah that killed me. Right when Akka gets back from the dead. The chapter ends with achamian thinking "Whore after all."

Okay maybe just one... What's up sobbers, I'm Knee that Bends, You can call me Knee... I guess? I'm new here. I've been sneaking around the forum for a while, but I think it's time I actually contribute to this beautiful community! A bit about me, I'm a Californian musician and a scifi/fantasy addict. I've only been a TSA fan for about a year, but I just can't get enough. I'm not actually finished with the series though, only halfway through WLW, so I'm going to be trying to avoid spoilers as much as possible. From what I've seen though, it seems spoilers are very well marked as spoilers so I don't think it's gonna be an issue. I'm here because I love TSA, I have constant questions about what the f*** is going on, and I want to talk to other people who share my love! So please, introduce yourself, I'd love to meet as many other profiles as I can. Alright, that's all I'm going to say  ;D *thinks of cool TSA reference to end introduction*
