Out of curiosity, is anybody in the forum an athlete of some form or fashion, or has been in the past? I've come across a good deal of football players (most linemen,) but that's about it. I've met quite a few Europeans who are involved or at least active in one sport or another, but not much else. The reason I had this on my mind was because I just got done with one of my track meets and wondered if anybody on here was doing the same thing.

Hey Fringe, I too am an athlete although I haven't ran in a track race for a couple years haha. In the UK I take part in cross country and Fell (Mountain Running). I also play lots of other sports because they are great fun! What distance do you run on the track? :)

I think ~80-90% of german males start to play football(soccer), when they are 6 - 10 years old. Those who manage to quit in time are still able to walk at the age of 30 :D.

Personally not doing much, but little weightlifting. I guess psytrance and what comes with it, is my sport currently..

I have done a few sports, but circumstances have always ended up moving me apart from them (injuries and other commitments). Currently I jog once or twice a week, up to 8-10km, and fence twice a week (foil). In the past I have played many years of futsal and frontenis, which I loved but had to stop because I could not find any courts in the UK. Still play them during the summer though when I go back home.

I ran the 800m and the 400m yesterday. I placed second in the 800 (was still a bad time,) and I think fourth in the 400m? Still have to check up on it because I was right behind the man who won it in my tier.

I was in a German clan once, the leader was a woman, but she was pretty involved in football (EU,) and so were all her family members. I thought it was pretty cool :P

Were you from Spain originally? Glad to see that you still keep up a state of fitness. Was always fascinated with fencing too :D Really cool stuff!

I know what you mean lol Sometimes the party life takes you away to another place entirely. I really lacked off this summer :/

Very cool to see some athletes in the game :D Noticed that all of you are from Europe lol. I myself only know a few athletic guys that play games, and none of the games they play are M&BW  :(

I also participate in my American football team, and also did Power-lifting this year. Glad to see many other athletic persons here on the forums and cRPG.  :mrgreen:

Shit man, you should definitely get back into it, hockey is a great game and if you are talented you should pursue it as far as possible! :)

And nice one Fringe, both distances you mentioned are fun ^^

I used to play badminton after a 1-year training + few amateurish contests, but since I crippled my leg I can forget about single-games, only doubles and barely that.

Oh well, more time to no-life :)

Heh, I'm thankful I've taken no such injuries. Guess it does build on your cRPG playing time though.

I'd say it even reflects on my slow-ass build with only 4 athl  :lol:

Teeth that's pretty simple, he wants to relate with warband players in other things than just playing warband, and he wants to relate to athletes in other things than running around.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

^ This exactly. I find it awesome that there are athletic people even in games, which seems to be a rarity. I think physical health is an important part to one's life, even if I have lacked off at some times. I mean...it's only a question. :D

Track and Tennis.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
