C'est trois amis qui se font capturer par une tribut d'amazones. Après des heures de captivité, la chef de la tribut viens les voir et leurs dit : - Vous aurez le sexe détruit de la manière dont vous gagnez votre vie ! Et en s'adressant au premier : - Toi ! Quel est ton travaille ? - Heu, je suis bûcheron... Et, là, à l'aide d'une hache, la chef des amazones lui coupe le pénis... Les deux autres assiste horrifié à la scène et se mettent à discuter entre eux : - Ohlala, je suis chaudronnier, elle vont me brûler la bite... Mais pourquoi tu souries comme ça ? - Moi ? je vend des sucettes.

how do you figure out if something is socially appropriate or not

(yes this is because I took someone in a server I'm in posting this

as an opportunity to talk about how bec de corbin is probably an ahistoric name and it would be more accurate to call it a bec de faucon and even more accurate to call it a pollaxe (or even just axe) because historically pretty much every weapon that was some combination of axe, hammer, beak, and top spike on a long handle was called an axe or pollaxe (I think pollaxe might be specific to england?) and cited Fiore de'i Liberi and Le Jeu de la Hache and Anonimo Bolognese to prove I wasn't talking out my ass and the guy who posted it said "Guys, how do I tell them was a meme and not a professional study lecture?" in response)

I'd like to propose a fictional situation, and I hope you'll weigh in if interested. Let's say a portal opens in modern times, and a single champion of any age, wearing appropriate garb and armor, and a period-accurate weapon, steps out. Assuming no firearms are present, what, in your professional opinion, would be among the most dangerous armor/weapon pairings to exit that portal and face our fictional protagonist(s)?

If we're looking for more specific situations like terrain, let's assume this happens three times: once in the forest with wide clearings but dense underbrush, once in a room with tight corners and obstacles, and once in a mine with good lighting and long but narrow corridors.

First off, I'm not a professional...!

(1) A forest with wide clearings and dense brush: a lightly armoured man-at-arms (mail or brigandine on body, maybe a plackart on the lower abdomen and plates on limbs or at least arms, also some sort of helmet, non-enclosed for good peripheral vision) carrying a late medieval longsword or possibly Swiss sabre, and full Talhoffer / Lichtenauer / dei Liberi training in how to use it.

(2) A room with tight corners and obstacles: either the aforesaid lightly armoured man-at-arms, carrying a short Messer and once again with full training in how to use it OR an unarmoured man with a smallsword and full training in how to use it for combat, not just fencing - so, basic training by Angelo and lethality polish by McBane.

(3) A mine with good lighting and long but narrow corridors: peripheral vision and "nimble" mobility are much less of an issue, so full plate armour with unnecessary equestrian bits left off, carrying a pollaxe (poleaxe) and with full training in its use from "Le Jeu de la Hache" (Axe-play) and possibly an arming sword and dagger at the belt for backup.

That's today's answer, tomorrow's or next week's might differ in some or all respects, and I'm going to be interested to see what others suggest. ;->

HTH!
