Nope. You're not wrong. I'm just running under the assumption that a temporary suspension also shows as "banned." However, I'd avoid discussion as it might be seen as "discussion of mod actions."

I think your argument falls apart here:
For one, broadswords scale to size so the bigger you are the bigger the sword. For two, the disemboweling part is easy. Just bite down on the handle length-wise and move. The hard part is parrying as you can only defend one side of you. For three, the head of an equivalent sized quadruped is larger than the hand of a human. Unless it's a bird, their jaw will be bigger than a hand. For four, humans have much smaller and weaker jaws than most animals but he can fight with a katana in his mouth:

You are already having to suspend belief pretty heftily here and the normal way of addressing this would indeed to be giving the dog opposable thumbs. The only way I could see this working is through Anthropromorphic personification, which the OP clearly isn't after. There would be far to many restrictions otherwise.
Well this is a superhero game, you're already suspending belief at every turn. I see no reason to limit the suggestion just because of that.

Now the argument about possible restriction and/or all the work? That's actually a reasonable point of view. All that other stuff? Opinionated mockery. I think it's a novel idea. No need to laugh in my face about it.

Yeah, I'm trying to stay out of the discussion as it really is a matter of taste, but this does have a point. Every time I hear about a dog with a sword in its mouth, I'm reminded of those funny videos of a dog with a long stick in its mouth trying to get through a fence gate. I can see dog-mounted missioles, dog-mounted cannons, energy bites, darkness bites and so forth, but a dog with a sword in its mouth I just CANNOT see. And believe me, I'm giving it as much leeway as I can.

*edit*
Yeah, like this. I'm not trying to be a dick here. That's honestly what I'm thinking of when you say "double-bladed sword."

I know it does show as "banned" because G_G was given one and I know for a fact while she was away hers read as "Banned". I'm just acknowledging that I may be misremembering if the person in this thread was given a suspension. But your right that we should avoid discussing it. So I'll drop it.

And here I thought you watched Anime, Sam. My mistake.

I'd like this, but inderstand that it's totally implausible with the way animations are set up.

Building CoH2 from the start to handle arbitrarily vast skeleton choices would be cool though.


A game is not supposed to be some kind of... place where people enjoy themselves!
