Carp Melee

So one of the devs made an off-hand comment about Carp Melee coming out after Dual Archery, obviously as a joke but... I think a lot of us are familiar with Final Fantasy Seven, Soul Calibur, and similar games.

I'd like some unlockable joke weapons. We've got a shovel, a bone, and some wrenches, so we know that the devs don't insist that all the weapons be absolutely serious. I'd like a few silly weapons to be added for customization, either inherently available or unlockable. Such ideas include...

-Fish of various types. Carp of course. Swordfish and Hammerhead Sharks for added hilarity.
-An Umbrella
-A boffer/nerf sword
-Oversized silverware (Fork and Knife for dual blades, Knife for Longsword and Katana, Spoon for Mace)
-A Frying Pan for Warmace

All in all, I think a handful of silly weapons would be great. They'd allow characters to goof around a bit more and they'd let us make some sillier concepts like Dual-Carp Melee.

and maybe rifles that fire "bang" flags?

As much as I'd like sharks with laser beams, this suggestion's really just for custom weapons, so... maybe a shark with a laser beam for a Robotics Pulse Rifle?

I'm always a fan of Carp Melee, being the original creator of it, and all. /signed for silliness.

Also, Capn, just so you're aware, BABs comment was definitely in jest, aimed at people like me, to avoid us always asking for Carp Melee, which comes up a decent amount around the boards. It always makes me smile when I see a reference to it pop up, especially from a red name.

Oh, I know it was a joke. I've seen the similar jokes up a lot (mostly Dual Archery and Assault Rifle Defense), it's just, well... Carp Melee works. There's already a few fish models in game (there's a swordfish in Port Oaks you can kick around if I remember right) and if those were just tinkered with enough to count as weapons... BAM.


If this were implemented, I would make a CapnGeist brute (the current one is a Zombies/Storm MM) who went around beating people with a fish.

I was ready to skim past this as a fun but pointless thread until I saw this:

Now if only we could get a comedy "BONG!!" sound effect to go with it...

Give some more ideas! Maybe make a consolidated "Joke weapons" thread.

Right now, my main mental block is I can't find a way to not leave Archery out in the cold. Assault Rifle and Thugs could totally get squirt guns or guns that, as said, have a "BANG" sticking out of them. I have no idea how one does a joke weapon for archery, as it would have to be the bow, not the arrows, changed.

An animation where, when you draw the bow, it has a toilet plunger for an arrow?

Also: Rolling Pin for Mace.

I would KILL for a giant cheetos war mace.
